Best Dinobot origin?

Construction by Wheeljack and Ratchet (G1 series)
A squad of gladiators from Cybertron (G1 comics)
Fairground animatronics given life (ANIMATED)
Decepticon experiments (PRIME)

For the life of me I can’t decide between them. They all have equal faults and merits. But for the most suitable I’d have to go with the PRIME one; if they ever appear in a TFilm it’d fit them well to be rage-filled bestial rampaging robots.

The Marvel Comic had the best Dinobots easily.

However I don't believe you are characterizing it well. I don't believe any of them were ever established as having been Gladiators in the Marvel comics. Warriors. Badasses. Troublemakers.

The Dreamwave comics established Grimlock was a Gladiator. But even there none of the others were that I know of.


-ZacWilliam, just saying, they were a team of pre existing commandos and trouble makers in the Marvel comic but thats it.
Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?

Construction by Wheeljack and Ratchet. It gives the 2 characters a better meaning.

He means (Aligned) and Fall of Cybertron, which are related to Prime but not the same thing as it.


-ZacWilliam, quiz could use a bit of editing.

Ah, I get it now. I know the deal with that (inb4sillyarguments), but kinda just brainfarted couse I vaguely remembered talk of past experiments, but just not ones that involved Grimlock & friends.

Speaking of which, why wasn't Snarl in the 86 movie?
