I guess the makers of JurassicPark and authors of those dinobooks are wrong then... tell me about it when the king of all dino the T-rex having tiny little arms with only 2 claws on each hands...

Jurassic part had plenty of embelishments, so it's not a reliable source for historical information. Also, scientists only have a relative handful of material to study that's millions of years old, so yes, there have been mistakes that were commonly accepted as fact for decades.

Here's a note from wiki: "Discoveries of articulated stegosaur armour show that, at least in some species, these spikes protruded horizontally from the tail, not vertically as is often depicted."

I admit that I was a bit bothered by the "thagomizer" (thanks Mr. Larson!) on this Snarl, but now I've learned something from all the silly bickering here, and the tail is now super cool with me

Terrific! Using Zoids definitely works in your favor.

Regarding Stegosaurus accuracy, the Stegosaurus probably only had one row of spines down the back instead of the two you commonly see depicted. They may have served more to cool the body than to provide defense. However, paleontologists hadn't confirmed this back in 1984, so the Autobots would've built Snarl with two!

Hi,
Your Custom TF Dinobot is PERFECT! You are a great artist too! I am a comic book artist, this is a link to a redue of the Megatron Movie head I tried to improve on. Want to see?
Also, would you ever consider making a custom Grimlock and Swoop for me too? If yes, How much would you chage me for it?
