DINOBOT

*Profile: Dinobot was one of the Predacons who helped Megatron steal the Golden Disk from the Maximals on Cybertron. However, upon crashing on ancient 
Earth, Dinobot felt that Megatron and the Predacons had failed in their mission and would lose the Beast Wars, thus he made the choice to challenge Optimus 
Primal for leadership of the Maximals. Dinobot despises his former comrades, especially Megatron and Terrorsaur. 

During their dramatic duel, Optimus Primal saved Dinobot's life, and Dinobot joined the Maximals. Having a Predacon, and such a fierce Predacon at that, join their ranks caused some tension between Dinobot and the other Maximals. In particular he and Rattrap traded constant verbal barbs in a love-hate relationship that both would deny ever existing. Interestingly enough he feels uncomfortable around Airazor, since he does not understand female warriors unless they are trying to kill him. 

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 
honourable 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 honourable and 
powerful warriors. 
 

*Profile: The new Dinobot is a nightmarish amalgam of Transmetal technology and cloned DNA of the deceased Maximal warrior, Dinobot. Created by Megatron in an experiment of Transmetal 2 technology, Megatron managed to blend alien technology, Transmetal technology and organics to push Transmetals to the edge.

The new Dinobot's protoform was originally a blank, however Megatron used the core of Rampage's Spark to give this protoform life. Despite his programming however, Megatron is not aware that this Dinobot is still essentially a new life form, learning about its world.

Despite the zeal he has for his work with the Predacons, this Dinobot feels an emptiness within his Spark, an emptiness that will only grow with experience be it for good or evil.

That emptiness became fulfilled when Rampage was destroyed by Depth Charge. From that point on, Dinobot became more and more like his predecessor, eventually he was responsible for helping the Maximals locate the Autobot shuttle in the Ark and save the future forever. Dinobot was destroyed in the Nemesis when the great Decepticon ship was damaged and crashed back to Earth in parts unknown.
