Incorrect. They can move in and out. And the fists are pointing the right direction, unlike Scourge/Cryo Scourge.

Re: Brickformer?

Why do people hate Snarl?

I used to be a "meh. Why get him?" person.

Then I actually got him. And thought he was freaking awesome.

Then I touched up his collar with black and gold and he became even more awesome.

Re: Brickformer?

I just bought Oil Slick, Snarl and Swoop. Oil Slick is good, great poseability.

Snarl, he look good, he has articulations but I think its his short arms and legs that limit his poseability.

Swoop... I am disapointed, because of his ball joint he can't lift his spike ball, look weird both mode and his dino head doesn't connect very well to his robot head in Dinosaur mode. Also in Dinobot mode, he also fall often on his face because his legs are on the back while the whole body is in the front.

Re: Brickformer?

I believe in the Animated discussion thread at TFW it's referred to as the "Cheeto".

This. He's really quite posable in both modes. G1 Snarl was a Brick-former, as most, but not all, G1 bots were.

But it's smaller than a real carrot. (Maybe an over-sized baby carrot, but it doesn't look like a baby carrot)

I seriously was eating Cheetos with Snarl out, because I was comparing them, and accidently bit his club. It hurt, too, because I was so sure it was a cheeto.

Isn't... isn't he always in Dinobot mode?

So, like a real Pterodactyle? I mean, most bipeds have their legs at the rear. That's why they stand up so the center mass is more balanced. (or in a real Pterodactyle's case, they would put their front "hands" on the ground to support themselves)

Wait, are we talking about Snarl or Swoop?

I was talking more about his scale, how do I say... Snarl is like 10 times bigger than Sari, so his club is like a giant carrot.

He has decent articulations. I just wished they put something to keep his legs locked in robot mode, they always separate when I barely move him. And of course paint his club.

About Swoop, I don't know, I think its because he look very skinny and sometime I think he just a tall Scout class.
