Dinobot

Dinobots are a subspecies of dinosaur-like Cybertronians from the planet Cybertron.

Biology
While also being a subgroup of Autobots, Dinobots consider themselves a species unto themselves.

Anatomy
Dinobots share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, except they transform into robotic dinosaurs.

Chompazoids are an especially ravenous variety of Dinobot with robot modes resembling massive canid-like quadrupeds with huge heads and gaping maws full of metal-rending teeth.

Ecology
Chompazoids have been known to ingest metal.

Powers and abilities
Dinobots share many of the same abilities as other Cybertronians. Because of their animalistic robot modes, Chompazoids can transform into large land vehicles seemingly designed to plow through opposition.

Dinobots are dangerously strong compared to other types of Cybertronians.

Select Dinobots can combine to form a combiner known as Volcanicus.

Chompazoids can gain a near-instantaneous yet temporary boost in power from ingesting metal. A well-fed and enraged Chompazoid can prove incredibly difficult to bring down.

Weaknesses
Chompazoids can be quickly weakened should they consume non-metallic substances, be it organic matter or manufactured products like plastics.

Culture and society
Dinobots are generally considered to be the mortal enemies of the Constructicons.

Primax Cluster
In the "Beast Era", the Dinobots are a group of Maximals created by the Oracle to aid in the battle against Beast Megatron's Vehicons. By the time of their creation, the Maximal Dinobot's spark had already joined with the AllSpark ]. Dinobot's spark contained all the data gathered in his life, data that was available to the Oracle.

The Oracle reformatted a group of survivors of Beast Megatron's virus and Vehicon hordes using dinosaur DNA information gathered from Dinobot's spark, giving them new technorganic bodies. The group is led by T-Wrecks, with Triceradon being his second-in-command. They were also joined by the spacefaring Predacon warrior Magmatron.
