'slick has a funky jarhead, and looks like a giant baby threw-up on him.

snarl is great

In the pic with that anime girl on top of oil slick, the ram skull looks like it's gonna kill her like Laserbeak to that partygoer in "Megatron's master plan pt.2" back in G1 :lol: Otherwise he looks awesome, although Lockdown's face on his chest makes him seem like the Lugnut worshiper of Lockdown to me :lol:

Snarl is pretty neat, although where do you put the club when he's not in robot mode?

Oilslick looks like fail, and Snarl looks like win.

Both look like crap

I can't say I'm impressed with either of these figures. Maybe with them on the pegs they'll look a touch better.

I like most of the animated figures some more than others but i think they're all nice looking figs. I love the style of them especially after seeing them up close. I love Oil Slicks bike mode it looks mean and the Snarl is pretty cool too. I think they do the series justice and i'll be picking up most of them. :D

Oil Slick is cool looking.

Snarl just looks awful.

Oil Slick looks cooler than I had thought. Snarl...not so much. But I'd probably choose Snarl out of the two to go with Grimlock.

i think they both look great, it's nice to see a motorcycle transformer that's a chopper, not a crotch rocket, i like oil slicks colors and i think the head looks great with that translucent green thing over it, also i like the hands, i original thought they looked horrible, but now seeing that he has thumbs makes it look a million times better, i wish movie barricades hands were like that.

Slag (aka Snarl) looks awesome. No unsightly kibble and well proportioned. Oil Slick looks as bad as an oil slick that needs to be contained. If you took that stupid container off his head and gave him a better head sculpt it would be a vast improvement.

True, the "jarhead" look doesn't work at all, nor does the actual head work. Something with an eyepatch or one of those scanner thingies from the first Dragonball Z season would look nice on him IMO.

Snarl/Slag looks terrific in dino mode and pretty decent in 'bot mode. Oil Slick remains one of my lesser favorites from the line, though he hasn't even appeared in the toon. I do like how he's a different concept for a cycle-bot, though.

Well, it WAS Slag, untill it was discovered that "slag" in the U.K. meant something close to "skank", a word that's really, really not apropriate for kids I believe, so they changed it to another dinobot name. Blitz tends to use the curse word version of slag alot recently, though.

Well, oilslicks isnt as bad as i thought, the colours give him that acidy-y look. But the jarhead is pretty effing annoying. snarl is indeed meh.

Either that or a Geordi-La-Forge-meets-KITT scanner theme.
