Bladeback is a homage to the 1985 Dinobot Snarl. He turns from stegosaurus to microcassette.
Other third party Transformers inspired by Snarl include Justitoys Desert Warrior Snarl.
Development
In May 2013 Keith's Fantasy Club teased images of microcassettes with the names of species of prehistoric reptiles on them.[1]
The name Bladeback was suggested to Keith's Fantasy Club by Mathew Robert Ignash.
Concept art of King Rex and Bladeback was previewed at TFcon 2013's Third Party Panel.[2]
