in generation one, in the first season... why are the dinobots kept in the closet?  

the autobots are so mean!  

 

theyre the ******ed brother you dont want friends to know about

 

 

i know but, the optimus prime asks the dinobots to rejoin them, and then says "NOW GO BACK IN TO THE CLOSET!"?   what a jerk.

do the dinobots really have no lives?

 

I think they're too stupid to realize that there's a larger world outside of that cave.

 

They had to stay in the closet because homosexuality was deemed inappropriate for a kid's show.

 

So you're saying that by season 3, they had came out of the closet?? So THAT's what they meant by "full of seezium salami" & "barillium bolgna" ????!!!!!????!!!!!!

 

yea i guess.

 

And I used to think Grimlock's so macho looking.  


Imagine the Dinobots dancing to YMCA.  

 

You guys are assholes!  

 

I always thought it was a guest room or something. Ya know, with a couch, T.V., coffee table with a little bowl of peanuts on it. They'd be chillin' discussing the weather and such, with Slag going to town on the previously mentioned peanuts.

But the closet is just as good.

I did think that was funny. Didn't Wheeljack say they had to be kept under control or something? I haven't watched my G1 DVD's in years now.

 

yes that's how you control them, keep them in the closet lol and when you need them...

no wonder why they rebelled in every episode  

 

and what the heck was wheeljack thinking when he made the dinobots? "I've always wanted to make a bunch of ******ed transformers."

Oh you knew it was comming  

 

Grimlock... such a classic top/butch. I can totally see him with the leather cap and the handlebar mustache.

Oh god... the image... it's not going away! Noooooooo!!!

He's just your good old fashioned mad scientist, wanting to play God. When Op gave the go-ahead to make robot dinosaurs, Wheeljack was rubbing his hands and thinking "Holy crap, i get to create LIFE!! In your face Vector Sigma!"

When BW introduced (and retconned the entire TF universe to) 'sparks', I started thinking the Dinobots were special, because they either had no sparks or artificial sparks. Made them more interesting conceptually to me than them comics Dinobots anyway.

Maybe that's why the Dinobot were kept in the Dinobot closet - the writers couldn't quite decide if Grimlock and co. were truw Autobots, or just caveman-talkin' drones.

 

in your face vector sigma indeed

 

No no no, you just don't get that kind of articulation in a G1 toy! Now the Armada Dinobots on the other hand...*goes to get figures & camera*

 

you don't even get that from classics grimlock  

 

you guys suck haha making fun of by far one of the koolest transformers ever, grimlock and his pals as well. You see , you guys are missing it, they werent in the closet doing anything gay or at least i hope so, in reality the dinobots were creatted as a metaphor to jamaicans in which they sat around, smoked the pipe and then since theyre just so kool they would come out when they were truly needed. Just picture grimlock with a jamaican accent.. "jjjjjjjjja man""" ( please no one take offense to this )
