Snarl's a lion - moanly gold but with some clear blue detailing and an orange mane. Back legs have ball jointed hips & ankles while they also bend at 2 different knees. His left leg has a panel at the top which slides up to reveal the Maximal spark in a circular recess in the leg. The tail is attached by a ball joint and also turns. There's a restricted ball joint about a third of the way along the body. Front legs are ball jointed at the hip, bend at the knee (but see action featured) turn at the wrist then bend twice in the hand in addition to the thumb joint out to the side. The beast head moves up & down and side to side inside the mane causing the mouth to open and close.
He's got two useable action features in this mode. His right leg has a wheel on top which when turned upwards causes the leg to bend up at the elbow. Releasing the wheel causes the leg to pop back down which restricts it's poseability a little. The other leg has a trigger in it's shoulder which causes the leg to shoot out a little just above the knee.
TF: Straighten the legs behind the toy and fold out the heel spurs. Move the hips so the ball from the socket is raised up closer the waist and not on the edge of the waist piece like in lion mode. Open up the base of the mane and fold to the sides. Fold down the chest, fold out the robot head, and turn it round so it's facing out. Fold the beast head into the robot chest with it's connecting strut behind it. Turn the mane halves round the piece connecting them and fold them back. Fold the top of the mane down and lock onto the robot head. Bring the mane halves together behind the robot's back. Remove the tail and place in the robot's hand - there's a peg there that fits the tail.
Well the TF's inventive but most of that is all about the head. It is effectively a stand on the back legs TF. The legs get the back leg articulation, the arms get the front legs and the gimmicks. The only new thing we gain here is a button on the robot's head which causes the mouth to open.
Overall: Cooled on this quite a bit since I first had it. There's not a lot here that isn't done better elsewhere.
