TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on SNARL 

"Taken offline by Starscream, when he acquired cosmic power" That's not the phrase, and you know it, Mr. McFeely!!!! 😖

And a new turn on the phrase, _Cosmically-powered Starscream!_

“You named him Snarl?” “Well I did call him “Slag”, but I think he took it as an insult.”

The Stegosaurus mode of the original toy still looks cute without even trying.

Reminder that the arrangement of spikes at the end of a Stegosaur's tail is called a _thagomizer_ after a Far Side strip from 1982.

Everyone loves Grimlock, but Snarl was the first Dinobot I transformed successfully, and he became my favorite. I relate to his character all too well.

The full Dinobot team appearing at the end of Cyberverse was kind of bittersweet. While they were finally all together, it was inferred their whole planet was populated by Dinobots, all taking the forms of the dinos shown in Grimlock's transmission. So that means we lost a whole planet of dinobots before we even knew we had it. 😭

Snarl will always be my favourite Dinobot at heart. As I got the figure for Christmas 86 from my Dad & Mum.

It's good to see Snarl getting more screentime as of late

To this day, it still bothers me that outside a couple of clips, Snarl wasn't seen in "The Transformers: The Movie." My head canon is that he stayed on Earth to protect and rebuild Autobot City alongside Blaster. Here's hoping he gets better treatment in the future.

"He's the silent loner of the Dinobots." First thing that came to mind was he was the Ice Bear of the Dinobots. Imagine him speaking in the same tone as Ice Bear but replace him referring to himself as "Ice Bear" with "Me Snarl"

5:41 I was wondering if you'd have room to talk about the other Snarls. That one's my favorite Beast Wars toy. I don't know why. There's so many legendarily-good toys in Beast Wars, but my uncontested favorite is a stubby little vampire squirrel with a laughable gimmick and headfeet. He just charms my socks off.

I always figured in the movie, snarl was already at Autobot city and stayed there with Blaster to continue repairs

Stegosaurus has always been one of my favorite dinosaurs, so Snarl is certainly my next favorite Dinobot after Grimlock. I do admit it though, I have a softspot for Cybertron Snarl, given that Scott McNeil does his voice in the English dub. Now all we need is Sludge and Swoop.

Snarl was always my favorite Dinobot since watching reruns of G1 in the late 80s, largely because Stegosaurus is my favorite amongst those 5 prehistoric reptiles. But it was also because, despite the fandom's insistence on Dinobots always having swords (yes I know all of the original toys had them and Grimlock certainly uses one on and off), he is the only one to be seen always using a sword in fiction...albeit sometimes to just shoot lasers from it 😅

I hope Snarl is a playable character in the new Transformers Game.

Snarl is my favourite Dinobot. After Jazz he was the second Transformer I owned as a Kid. He also was my first Action Master Figure.

The Marvel UK story about Snarl's mind being transferred into the body of a real Stegosaurus is very morbid, given how he was described as hating his dino mode. It's been speculated that that story was written as a way to explain Snarl's abscence from the 1986 Movie, but no one knows for sure.

THE BASICS on SLUDGE next

My absolute favorite Dinobot, even above Grimlock who is legendary for me! Snarl deserves a more prominent role going forward and hopefully he will get that from now on.

The Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film of the Transformers universe.

I've always loved Snarl,he was always one of my favourite Dinobots ❤

The Transformers: Heavy Metal War Episode Sludge : Sludge not see these Decepticons before... Snarl : Not see again either, because we dino-mite them to pieces!!!!

12 minutes of Snarl! One of my all time favourites. This is good work my friend 👍

Snarl transforms into the greatest of the dinosaurs, stegosaurus!

his G1 toy also became the base for a Brave series character named Armor Geist from Brave Exkaiser.

Thanks for the video 📼, on my birthday 🎂

Good work on the video lore on the Dinobot Snarl, my friend! Like both the dinobots and dinosaurs, Snarl, too, is my favorite both dinobot and dinosaur as well.

He and Swoop are my favorites of the group, and I had both as a kid. The original toy had a fatal flaw that was disappointing though, because the front legs of the dinosaur have a tendency to pop off from the springs that held them on when transforming them and putting them into the grooves of the legs. I literally had on break not more than a half hour after getting it home from the store, returning it for another one, and having the same thing happen not long after. I just kind of kept it as it was after that, being able to put the leg back on, but couldn't really transform it properly ever.

Regarding the 1986 movie, apparently, there was some note that said that only four Dinobots could be onscreen at a time. Thankfully, the one comic adaptation rectified that.

Snarl was my favorite Dinobot, but I didn't own one until Power of the Primes.

In my school vr game Snarl played an unexpected role where he with the upper moon 1 demon Kokushibo trained Goalius in combat against the Raiden Shogun but sadly was killed by Mandroid to put Grimlock back in line

Stega-Snarl is one of my favorites followed by wolf-Snarl.

6:54 wow, the show model made yhis look much cooler than it actually is...

I want an Updates Basics on Ultra Magnus

my faveourite character on my birthday thanks Mr. McFeely!

love all the dinobots, but swoop and snarl were my top two favorites as a kid in the 80s! great episode as always!

My brother and I made a running gag out of where SNARL was during the '86 movie, with some original art to explain his shenanigans, in the multi-part retrospective we've done over on my channel! I guess his desire not to be featured much in the Movie fits his loner profile to a "T". 😁

I have him in the SS 86's line. And he amazing.

Happy to see some love for Snarl

G1 Snarl will always be the original!

Please Do the basics On Volcanicus, Athough I wish Snarl and Other dinobots had chance to appear in animated series,1986 movie, Earthspark series and even live action movie though, I lOve Snarl, even that slug and Grimlock and even swoop are my favorite dinobot, Speaking of wich I love Volcanicus and my favorite is og and Cyberverse

Snarl and SLAG are my favourite dinos.

I wonder if Grimlock gets sick of slug and snarl getting on his circuits sometimes, becuz dealing with that type of bot frequently sounds annoying.

6:32 idk why but looking at this design, it looks like if cybetron leobreaker rotated his limbs and head 180... Hmm...

Planet X also did the G2 colors for their take on him, and in the IDW movie comic he replaced Sludge in the scenes like it was intentional

Snarl is great coming in as the second wave during G1, definitely need a "Basics on SWOOP" next!

Snarl was one of the Dinobots i could never seem to find in stores. Him and Sludge. Grimlock, Swoop, and Slag were almost always around. They're also the three i had as a kid. Sadly all lost to time.

Of all the dino alt modes, Snarl's Stegosaurus was my favourite. Side note/comic trivia, the stegosaurus's spiked tail was actually, *scientifically* named "The Thagomizer" after a Far Side comic panel by Gary Larson.

0:47 Some of those G1 toys were works of art.

Trying to find Snarl's Studio Series figure for retail price is incredibly hard and I hate it 😭

Please do Tracks and the Technobots/Computron next! 🙏🏻

Stegosaurus was my FAVORITE dinosaurs. G1 and Cyberverse Snarl is for my opinion. Luckily bought Age of Extinction Snarl to complete the Main Dinobots, except Slash.

All that’s left is Swoop and Sludge, then all the Dinobots will have officially gotten their own videos!

I had bit of issue with Snarl due twice missing out his toys; first been in POTP toy that never showed up at my location and while I actually get to see Cyberverse Snarl saved him for another day but someone had picked him already. To hear that G2 Snarl was gonna be green till switched it's more known deco, that just made me to think was AOE Snarl's deco as subtle homage to that rare green G2 Snarl.

Repost this Snart immediately!

Been waiting for this one! Snarl is probably among the best examples of a name that can be reapplied to several other wildly different Transformers characters (because so many animals technically can "snarl")!

I like the original Dinobot, but my favourite Snarl is the Cybertron version. First figure i got with a beast mode.

I really hate Snarl and Sludge in Rescue Bots Academy not only do they make the Aligned Continuity even more confusing they’re both complete boneheads, the G1 Dinobots were more intelligent than them and a lot more tolerable.

You literally make my day when a new video drops!!!! On it straight away. Brilliant as always!!!!

Hey mcfeely, have you heard of f-for-feasant design? Well.... he's a deviant art artist who is known for creating a WHOLE ARMY OF DINOBOT OCS...... i'm not kidding. You should really check him out.

Do THE BASICS on CHASE next!

I was a fan of Wolf Snarl from TF Cybertron. His wise words and not being afraid to beat some sense into Scourge was always cool

My rankings 1. Grimlock 2. SNARL 3. Swoop 4. Slag 5. Sludge

Also in dinosaur mode. He can even channel his energy through his tail into focused blasts, Even under non-augmented circumstances. his tail can shatter a 20 square foot concrete block with one swipe.

Snarl did have a brief blink and you'll miss it appearance in Transformers The Movie. Though it's likely an animation error.

If Simon Furman has Furmanisms, does that make phrases like “taken offline by a cosmically-powered Starscream” and “monster planet Unicron” McFeelyisms?

My faves of dinobots are Grimlocke and Swoop, Swoop cause they always looked so different then the other dinobots but could easily toss any of them around

Quantum Teleportation a.k.a. "Cutaway" Teleportation As seen in the movie, and Snarl didn't know he do it, and can only do it when nobody's noticing him, which is a lot. Snarl can teleport when not being observed, and he teleports to any location his mind has wandered off too. Which implies that Snarl has attention deficit, and is typically not paying attention to what's going on which is why he's always quiet. So even when Snarl is there, he's not "there", and will teleport the moment nobody's looking. Fortunately, for Snarl, he also has SEVERE, separation anxiety. Which means after exploring the environment he was thinking about, and after his mind wanders again, causing him to teleport a few more times, he wil eventually realize he's alone, Panic, and teleport right next to the other Dinobots as if he never left. The plates on his back power the teleportation, not just his strength. The lost adventures the teleporting Snarl. 😄

"Sludge not seen these Decepticons before." "Not see them again either, because we dynamite them to pieces!"

TBF, Tazmania Kid is a much more fitting name for the troublemaking maximal, gives him his own identity given his huge role in Beast Wars II.

The green g2 toy was rare? That's the one I had as a kid and it's the only one I ever seen in stores around me back then. I actually never knew the red one existed

5:50 If this version of the character transforming into a Tasmanian Devil I can imagine he would speak with an Australian accent to match

If you could, please do a youtube suggestion month and a video on transformers like the traffic light and phone booth like characters from transformers cybertron please.

"I'M A STEGOSAURUS!" - Not a stegosaurus

Cybertron Snarl was the best Snarl! Hope he gets a new toy with better leg articulation

I got Gen 1 figure 💚 so I guess my answer to what’s my favourite dinosaur is Stegosaurus

My last Ben Cooper Halloween costume was Snarl in fifth grade. Always liked him!

You missed the Earth Wars treatment of him. They protaied him as intelligent

It’d be nice if they have a box set box Of the Studio series, Dino, bots!

there are a few transformers that are in my top favorites simply for their design, and snarl is in my top 3.

Chris posts a video, I watch the video. I'm a simple man!

Snarl was my favorite Dinobot from the Fall of Cybertron game. He was the fastest in PVP.

Snarl and Swoop were created by Wheeljack

Do the basics On Fuzords And BotBots Please

my joint favourite dinobot with Sludge

Snarl, the "guy" of the Dinobots.

I like all the dinobots all of them my favorite can't leave not one out.

How about a new flying dinobot named Swoosh?

Tomska: I am a Stegosaurus

Now only Sludge and Swoop are left.

It's so odd not seeing Snarl as a Stegosaurus

Can you do Transformers: Star Seeker?

Such a loner he stayed out of the movie

Whene are you dooing skyquake??????

3:53 in hindsight this felt a bit random. Like any of the other dinos could have become action masters, and I can't think of any reason snarl was selected compared to the others.

You got to love cosmic power starscream

The George Harrison of the Dinobots

Snarl became the Transformers movie's "Sir NotAppearingInThisFilm".

Hmmm what if someone made a Solo dino bot,s movie
