DINOBOT Maximal Allegiance: Maximal Function: Front Line Combat Expert Beast Form: Velociraptor Weaponry: Optical sensor cybertronic laser beams, Rotary blade, Hand held electron sword Profile: Dinobot was one of the original members of the small group of Rogue Predacons led by Megatron. When they crashed on a strange planet while pursuing the Maximals, Dinobot believed Megatron had made a mistake and led them to the wrong destination. He challenged Megatron for the leadership of the Predacons but was quickly beaten and discarded from the Predacons. It was then Dinobot seeked out the Maximals to join there ranks but only as leader. Optimus Primal is bound by Cybertronian law to fight in a duel with Dinobot for the leadership of the Maximals. During the battle however, Primal saved Dinobots life, convincing him to join the forces of the Maximals. Dinobot was a valued and dangerous asset of the Maximal team. He possessed incredible battle prowess, and was the most skilled of the Maximals in hand-to-hand combat. However, his Predacon heritage and honor often set him at odds with his Maximal comrades. In particular he and Rattrap traded constant verbal barbs in a love-hate relationship that both would deny ever existing. Dinobot once betrayed the Maximals and rejoined the Predacons after learning the planet the Beast Wars were being fought on was ancient Earth. He thought for a time that Megatron's plans would work, but he soon learned the Predacon leader's plans were more insane than he had originally known. He rejoined the Maximals shortly afterwards, carrying a degree of shame and guilt with him. Dinobot was skilled in melee combat, stealth methods, berserker fighting and strategic planning. He cultivated all these skills within himself to fulfill his one goal: an honorable death. Dinobot achieved this goal when he took on the entire Predacon force to stop them from destroying a valley where tribes of ancient humans lived. He sacrificed himself, fighting against incredible odds to save the future. His Spark has since joined the Matrix, among Cybertron's most honorable and powerful warriors.
