UKDinobotsPoster

The Dinobots (also known as Dynobots) are an Autobot sub-group in the Transformers Generation One continuity. They are among the strongest warriors in the entire Autobot army, but they are a rowdy bunch that don't take kindly to authority and have no regard for the chain of command. When the situation calls for it, the Dinobots are always ready to lay down the hurt upon the Decepticons. They are not too keen to spring into action for anything that doesn't involve fighting, however.

Origins[]

Marvel Comics[]

In the Marvel Comics continuity, the Dynobots were a team of elite Autobot shock troops that joined the crew of the Ark on its flight from Cybertron. Following the ship's crash and its crew's later revival, Teletraan-1 rescucitated the Dynobots after scanning several prehistoric creatures dwelling in an area known as the Savage Land. Thus, the Dinobots were reborn.

G1 cartoon[]

In the Transformers cartoon, the Dinobots were built on Earth after the Autobots discovered a series of fossilized dinosaur remains during the expansion of their base at Mt. Saint-Hilary. After analyzing the fossils, Wheeljack constructed a set of highly durable robots with tremendous strength but very limited intelligence. Throughout the series, the Dinobots have displayed a significantly low mentality compared to the other Autobots, always talking in third-person and unable to use proper grammar.
