i have a chance at acquiring Cybertron Snarl + Red Alert, loose but excellent condish & complete for a little over $20. is the toy rare? how would you rate him? thanks!

I love Cybertron Snarl, good alt mode, and good robot mode, with a cool weapon, and a holder for his Cyber Planet key.

The colours work well on him, and the Transformation is fairly basic, but not overly simplistic. His Key gimmick is kinda lame, as the key needs to stay inserted for the teeth to remain elongated.

Plus Cybertron Red Alert is one of the best Deluxes of recent times. $20 for the both is a pretty good deal, although that's what it would have cost (at least in US$) to get them MOSC. If they come with the instructions (not that you should need them) and the tech specs, then I say go for it.

thanks trunks! i'm kinda worried about his hand joint getting floppy and loose (as BWTF.com reviewed this figure) as well as his legs being thin and such. BTW, how rare is he? i haven't seen this guy floating around in eBay that much, and the ones on bid are way too overpriced for deluxes. any thoughts?

I don't remember ever seeing snarl in the big stores - got mine mosc at a second-hand store. He's pretty good but the joints could be stronger and yes the legs are a bit on the skinny side.

Cyber Snarl was a shelf warmer here in CANADA. Much like Bonecrusher from the movie is now.

imo botcon weirdwolf was a much better use of the mold...

although it would cost more for you to pick it up and you would only get the one figure...but i'm just throwing that out there.

Cybertron Snarl is just ugly.

I have hate for the toy and I'm not entirely sure why.

I knew that there was something not right about you...

I think Snarl is pretty nice. His wolf mode is great, his bot mode, while blocky, has surprisingly good articulation, and looks cool too. His weapon is probably the best hand-held weapon in the entire Cybertron line. So-so gimmick, but overall totally purchase-worthy.

He was one of the Deluxes that I saw very little of aside fromt the 3-Packs

He's pretty cool but nowhere near as awesome as Backstop.

LOL! ahahahaha. that's so funny, finding this comment upon waking up this morning to check this thread.

I dunno, they are about even in my book, but I love Backstop, and think he is an overlooked gem of the Cybertron line...

I have had no problems with my Snarl that Ben (of bwtf) has had. Just a luck thing I suppose.
