Snapper (video game)
Snapper is a computer game written by Jonathan Griffiths for the BBC Micro and released as one of the launch titles for Acornsoft in 1982. It was later released as one of Acornsoft's launch titles for the Acorn Electron in 1983.
The game is a faithful clone of the Namco arcade game Pac-Man. In development, the game was titled Puc Man (the first Japanese title of the arcade game was Puck Man) but the name was changed before release to avoid legal action. However, the initial release of the game was so close to Pac-Man (including the design of the game's characters) that this version had to be withdrawn and re-released with the characters changed. The player's character became a round yellow face with very short legs wearing a green cowboy hat and the ghosts became skinny humanoid monsters.
As in Pac-Man, bonus items such as fruit would sometimes appear in the centre of the screen. The highest-scoring bonus item was an acorn, a reference to the publishers. When Snapper was killed, he would shrink and turn into small lines pointing in all directions.
Snapper (Transformers)
Snapper is a fictional character from the Transformers series. He should not be confused with Rippersnapper, a Decepticon with a similar name.
Beast Wars
Snapper's technical specifications mention the quad thrusters allowing him to fly, probably inspired by Gamera.
Animated series

IDW Publishing

In the first issue of Beast Wars The Ascending Manterror lead Retrax and Snapper in a distraction against Maximals while the other Predacons planned to attack their enemies.
Snapper had a biography printed in the Beast Wars Sourcebook by IDW Publishing.
