Cyber Raptors are semi-sapient Velociraptor-like Cybertronian drones created as clones of the deceased Maximal Dinobot.
Biology[]
Anatomy[]
While they seem like organic velociraptors, Cyber Raptors have grey/pale skin and partly made of Cybertronian alloys.
Powers and abilities[]
Cyber Raptors share many of the same abilities as ordinary Earth Velociraptors in addition to being equipped with powerful optic weaponry.
Weaknesses[]
A Cyber Raptor's weaponry can be destroyed by taking out the cyber control system mounted on their backs.
Culture and society[]
Though Predacon leader Megatron used Dinobot's DNA with the Transmetal driver to create the Cyber Raptors, they are not as intelligent as the original Dinobot clone Clone One.
Cyber Raptors appear to function as ordinary organic raptors, hunting in a group yet being unable to either communicate with or out-think Maximals and protohumans.
History[]
The Cyber Raptors were by Megatron during his operations on prehistoric Earth as part of the early stages of his development of Transmetal 2 technology. He used a group of them to attack some protohumans as part of his continuous attempts to destroy the roots of humanity. The initial attack proved to be successful enough to scatter Chak and Una's family.
During a second attack, the Cyber Raptors were accompanied by fellow Predacons Waspinator and Tarantulas. However, this was foiled by a protohuman wielding a hammer, much like the one that the original Dinobot used to defeat Megatron in the past.
One by one, the Cyber Raptors were defeated and leapt around bronco-style when their control systems were smashed. One of the raptors even pounced repeatedly on Waspinator, leading to another of his many destructions. In the aftermath of the battle, renegade Predacon Blackarachnia stole some hardware from the destroyed raptors.
Though the plan failed, Megatron was pleased because he found that his Transmetal 2 technology worked. As such, the knowhow gained from making the Cyber Raptors would later be used to create Dinobot II. Though this Dinobot clone could not fully function without a spark in the warrior's body, Megatron luckily had half of Rampage's spark on hand.
