    I submit this,
    "Some versions of the toy's pack-in card have the prefix "Dinobot" attached to Cindersaur's name, presumably a leftover from Slash. On that note, the card for "Alpha Trion Cindersaur" refers to the character with the pronoun "her", but the card for "Micronus Cindersaur" uses the pronoun "his"."
    Also didn't realize Cindersaur is now a Terrorcon as well.

    Or... the more likely explanation: it’s a typo. The people who write 12 different silly bios for the 12 silly “primes” made a typo

    That'd be neat! Curious to see all the Cindersaur cards.

    And even if that wasn't just an error or mattered at all, Airazor has him beat by a couple of decades.

    They always do.

    I believe you young folk have a term for this: "Tryhard".

    Hmmm, or maybe Cindersaur & Cindersaur are actually androgynous twins?

    Oh god not this shit again...

    I mean, FFS, this is Cindersaur, who was a dude back in G1. Absolutely no reason we need to bring in imaginary nonsense over one or two left over pronouns they missed when changing the printer that handles the Slash/Cindersaur production.

    Probably a mistake, but I'll headcanon it anyway.

    And even before that there was Shrapnel's gender confusion.

    We already have Anode and Lug. I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel's stank moved to this franchise.

    Or more likely it's just a typo. Why on a toy, of all things, would they put that information there?

    5BCBB2AE-AC1F-494F-BB25-4076ABA94B22.png It’s Birdo all over again!

    Or Poison from Final Fight!

    Or AirRazor from the Japanese dub and manga of Beast Wars!

    Or it’s just an error brought about by too many people having a hand on all the different versions of Cindersaur.

    It's a magical thing when a mistaken or rushed or apathetic inconsistency is latched onto by certain fans, who build fanon to smooth over contradictions, and if fanon grows strong enough, some official creator adopts it and it becomes canon in some form. That's how we get explanation(s) for how Constructions built Megatron, are turned evil by Megatron, and are built by Megatron on Earth.

    And there ya go!

    (but like whatever really.)

    So is it Cindersaur or Cindysaur? Guess it's a saur point...

    Can't we just respect their privacy?

    Personally since the Firecons were drones in the Japanese cartoon, I'm just glad to have another army builder.

    Despite the lack of articulation, I really liked his stocky bot and creature modes of the G1 toy.

    Plus are we ever going to find out that Sparkstalker named himself after the Cybertronian Grim Reaper?

    Typo.
    'Saur's a boy.
    Now let's just walk out the door, get on the floor, and everybody walk the Cindersaur.
