After IGUANUS, ALICE, and BLUDGEON, here's the final limb-bot of the inner-bots Pretenders combiner, SNARLER!

First, here's the outer shell, with a custom tail and custom shoulder-pads. I find myself clever to have figured out this space to store the combiner's fists.



The gun on top is also custom made.







Speaking of storage, this is where I store the spare S7 Bludgeon parts.



Here's the inner bot of Snarler! I fused the original G1 bot with the POTP Dinobot Snarl. The bot have janky arms and the bot head cannot turn, but he's much better looking than the G1 original.







The stickers are homemade by an Aussie eBayer. He make the G1 stickers that Toyhax won't make. And they are top-notch.





The boar tail needs to partsform.



The beast mode is absolutely perfect.











What do you think?

BTW, the chest-bot is nearly complete! Stay tuned!

Yeah, those arms are definitely a bit wack, but I'm just wondering how this isn't crumbling to dust. Can't wait to see the torso bot and combined form though! I have no clue who it will be...

Looks like that "gold" plastics on Snarler and Carnivac are not "gold" at all. There's no records of these two ever having GPS.

As for the chest-bot, I just have some stickers to apply before he's done.

It will all be revealed this Sunday.

Gold plastic in itself isn't an issue, it's "swirly" gold plastic that isn't one consistent color throughout that tends to be brittle, like it isn't properly bonding its molecules together or something.



Of course, there are exceptions.

Anyway, nice work, love the alt mode.

Thanks! Sure, the bot have bizarre arms because of the original G1 design, but it makes for perfect front legs in alt-mode. I paid the big bucks to get that inner bot and naked shell from eBay.

For reference:



At least my version have proper bot legs.

Also, the PotP Snarl body was just perfect to make Snarler. However, it wasn't easy at all to reverse the front and the back of the beasts. The rear dino legs were pinned and I had to redo how these legs were attached. Also, the tail gave me a problem. at first, it was way too low and looked all wrong. I had no choice but to make it partformer.

BTW, I used an original scrap PotP Snarl that was missing a whole leg panel. When the work was 3/4 done, I realised that I needed that panel. So I had no choice but to order a K.O from AliExpress. The parts were 100% compatible so I could finish it. The extra combiner fist gave its peg for the partsforming tail.
