"Let the light shine forth and kick Predacon hide."

Like his ancient Dinobot namesake, Snarl does not really enjoy the Beast Wars on Earth. His simple being longs to see Cybertron, and that is the only reason why he fights with the force he does. Predacons flee whenever they see the bright light emitted from his powerful solar cannon in the distance. His determination and and longing to return to Cybertron fuel his Spark and gives him the reason to fight on with gusto. During the day, the solar plates on his back absorb solar energy and concentrate it to be discharged as a powerful laser known and feared as The Solar Snarl. Whenever it is used, a distinct high pitch shriek of savagery is emitted, before it rips through any Predacon warriors foolish or unfortunate enough to be in Snarl's line of fire. At night however, Snarl's combat effectiveness is gravely reduced, as he only stores limited amounts of energy to fuel his right arm solar cannon, reducing the arm to an effective clubbing weapon after expending all his stored solar energy. Also, Snarl manufactures a large percentage of his own Energon during the day, making him an energetic and feisty warrior in day but a relatively slow and sluggish robot at night. However, his defensive capabilities enable him to take the damage at night, and his left arm acts as a reflective and deflective shield that defends Snarl from most Predacon attacks, making Snarl a very effective melee warrior as well. Often works closely with Charger in assaults due to their common nature as Dinobots.Snarl is a reliable and powerful addition to the Maximal forces, making him a formidable foe on the battlefield.


WEAPONS
After collecting and concentrating solar energy, Snarl's right arm opens up to fire a powerful laser beam that tears through anything in the line of fire. The heat generated by the solar beam incinerates circuitry and boils off armor plating, burning cleanly through ranks of Predacon enemies. At night however, Snarl can only store enough energy for 5 watered down blasts before having to resort to using his arm as a club.

Made of a thick lining of strong and conductive metals, Snarl's shield not only defends him from physical attacks, but allows him to absorb laser blasts to be channelled to be either coverted and used as Energon or to be channelled to his solar cannon. In melee battles, Snarl uses his shield to deflect blows and projectiles, even using the razor sharp and hardy solar plates to hit hard at Predacon enemies.
