The name or term "Dinobot" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, seeDinobot (disambiguation). |
- The Dinobots are anAutobotsubgroupfrom theCyberversecontinuity family.
In times past, when hope seemed but the whimsical notion of babes, "King of theDinosaurs"Grimlocksent a message to the stars asking its recipients to fight the noblest of fights with courage and good cheer. A message that resonated across the universe, it became the mantra of a distantCybertronian colony.Its inhabitants took on dinosaur forms in deference to this valiant king and his message. Unfortunately, the fiendish greed oflawless cursresulted in this world being destroyed, with only four known survivors. These wayward souls followed their tormentors toCybertronin order to prevent a similar tragedy and avenge their fallen leaderTiny Arms.There, they had the good fortune to fall in with the very bot who defined their society. Now christened theDinobots,these five fight together to protect the recently brokered Autobot/Decepticon peace from those who would defile it. In the process, they've gained the ability to combine into the mighty but youthful warriorVolcanicus,a hero we didn't ask for but one we deserve.
