The '''Dinobots''' are a rough-and-tumble group of [[Mini-Con]] warriors who are at their best in harsh environments. Allied with the [[Autobot]]s, whenever a mission is set in a dangerous jungle or festering swamp, the Dinobots are the ones to handle it!

The Mini-Con Dinobots consist of...

*[[Hacksaw]] a stegosaurus and the team leader
*[[Knockdown (Classics)|Knockdown]] a triceratops
*[[Terrorsaur (Classics)|Terrorsaur]] a tyrannosaurus rex
*[[Swoop (G1)#Classics_2|Swoop]] a pteranodon

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
Swoop originated as a [[bulk]], serving [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] as part of the original crew of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] where he was rebuilt into a pteranodon. {{storylink|The Last Stand}} He had many adventures as a part of [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s until he was critically injured by an [[Underbase]]-powered [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}} He spent much time off-line until he was restored by Grimlock using [[Nucleon]] just in time to participate in the battle against [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

====''Classics''====
Hacksaw, Knockdown, and Terrorsaur were among the many Mini-Cons created by the [[Last Autobot]] for the purpose of restoring [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Together they were the Dinobots, a fierce team of warriors that worked to clear Cybertron's [[underworld]] of [[mutant (G1)|mutant]]s. Until his untimely death, Hacksaw served both as leader of the Dinobots and as second-in-command to Mini-Con leader [[Modus Prime]]. {{storylink|The New World}}

After the defeat of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s forces, the already [[nucleon]]-infused Swoop was caught in a titanic explosion at a nucleon-processing plant and was drastically mutated. The quick reaction of the Autobot Mini-Cons saved him and ''boom''; Mini-Con Swoop was born. {{storylink|Games of Deception}}

*'''Dinobots''' (Mini-Con Team, 2006)

: Knockdown, Swoop, and Terrorsaur were sold as a set. The Dinobots are part of the first wave of "[[Classics (2006)|Classics]] Mini-Cons".
: The whole set of molds was used to make [[Ransack (Universe 2008)|Ransack]], [[Windrazor (Universe)|Windrazor]] and [[Stockade (Universe 2008)|Stockade]] from the [[Battle Support Team]] component of the ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Mini-Cons 10-pack.

==Notes==

*Hacksaw was an original, non-toy character created for the Collector's Club prose story, ''[[The New World]]''. His addition was made for story reasons, as the origin of the ''Classics'' Mini-Cons presented in that piece was somewhat incompatible with ''Classics'' [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] being the original G1 [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]].

Brimstone (Cybertron)

{{disambig3|Brimstone}}

:''Brimstone is a [[Jungle Planet (Cybertron)|Jungle Planet]] [[Decepticon]] from the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Brimstone-card.jpg|right|250px|thumb|DEATH FROM ABOVE!! DEATH FROM ABOVE!!]]
'''Brimstone''' isn't much for thinking. He's more comfortable taking orders from his leader [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]], but when left on his own, would rather simply follow [[Undermine]]'s lead. He really enjoys his position as one of Scourge's right-claw mechs, since it gives him an unrivaled opportunity to beat people up without reprisal.

About the only thing Brimstone's brain is good for is playing [[Praxus Fold 'Em]]. He and Undermine typically play during quiet nights in the [[Jungle Temple]], with chores as the high stakes.

:''Japanese name'': '''Terashaver'''

==Fiction==
===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Terry Klassen]] (English), [[Yasuyuki Kase]] (Japanese)

Brimstone was a denizen of [[Jungle Planet (Cybertron)|Jungle Planet]], one of [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]]'s acolytes who joined him during his quest to enforce peace on Jungle Planet by any means necessary. {{storylink|Honor}} In the present, he attended to Scourge's needs at the Jungle Temple. Although Brimstone missed [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s arrival, he was present to observe a sparring match between Megatron and Scourge, and was impressed by the Decepticon's control and power. {{storylink|Deep}} Later, Brimstone was going for a walk in the park with his friends when some [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|loudmouthed Humvee]] had to challenge Scourge's strength. Never a good idea. {{storylink|Race}} Brimstone and [[Undermine]] watched eagerly as Scourge pounded on Overhaul and didn't notice [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]] sneak off to help the interloper. When Overhaul returned for a second match, Scourge initially said he couldn't be bothered to fight the Autobot. He changed his tune after Brimstone and Undermine were battered aside by Overhaul as proof of his worthiness in battle. {{storylink|Detour (episode)|Detour}}

When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] arrived on Jungle Planet, Brimstone journeyed out to confront the Autobot leader with Scourge. Unwilling to negotiate with anyone who hadn't proved their strength in battle, Scourge demanded that the Autobots and Decepticons fight before he heard any more about the Cyber Planet Key quest. Brimstone and Undermine kept Snarl and [[Backstop (Cybertron)|Backstop]] out of the contest at first, but soon it broke into a free-for-all with the Jungle Planet residents each aiding the Autobot and Decepticon camps. {{storylink|Savage (episode)|Savage}} As Scourge's entourage met the Autobots again in a narrow canyon, Brimstone matched his vanadium wing blades against Backstop's horn. {{storylink|Sand}}

As Optimus Prime came to Scourge's temple to once again ask for the Cyber Planet Key, Brimstone watched guardedly from the sidelines. The Jungle Planet warriors openly mocked Optimus for his refusal to fight for what he wanted and for battling with his own arm in [[Optimus Prime Super Modes#Unicron Trilogy|Savage Claw Mode]], as [[Leobreaker]] bristled for combat. Later on, Brimstone and Undermine tried to prevent Backstop from entering the temple until Scourge granted his old sensei an audience. It seemed Optimus Prime had changed his mind and would now meet Scourge for battle at a time and place of his choosing. {{storylink|Honor}} Brimstone and Undermine aided Scourge as he began to train vigorously for the match. He had himself chained to the temple pillars while still fighting off attacks by his subordinates. Eventually, Brimstone and Undermine called it quits, because even a handicapped Scourge was too much for them. Once Prime arrived at the temple, he introduced them to the ambassadors from other worlds threatened by the black hole: [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]] of [[Velocitron]] and [[Lori]] of [[Earth]]. Brimstone was curious about the pint-sized creature and moved in for a closer look. {{storylink|Primal}}

After Optimus Prime defeated Scourge in battle, he claimed the Cyber Planet Key, but allowed Scourge to remain the ruler of Jungle Planet. Scourge, Brimstone and Undermine remained uninvolved in the conflict that followed as the Decepticons attempted to steal back the Cyber Planet Key from the Autobots. {{storylink|Trust (Cybertron)|Trust}}

As [[Primus]] continued his efforts to hold back the expansion of the black hole, Brimstone, Undermine and Backstop were seen warily regarding the singularity from Jungle Planet. {{storylink|City}} The black hole's spatial turbulence had begun to upset the local weather and environment of various planets it threatened. On the already unstable Jungle Planet, the effects were even more pronounced, and Brimstone had trouble even staying aloft during a massive monsoon. He was struck by lightning in mid-air and would've tumbled into an open lava vein if Backstop hadn't leapt over the crevasse and caught him as he fell. Brimstone gave thanks to the elderly rhinoceros, but mused darkly about whether he'd ever get the chance to return the favor before the universe came to an end. {{storylink|Challenge}}

When Galvatron claimed the full power of the Omega Lock and the four Cyber Planet Keys, he communed with the black hole itself and decided to make Jungle Planet his first target. Tendrils of dark energy pulled the entire planet through the Space Bridge to the site of the black hole. This had cataclysmic results for the planet, and Brimstone passed along the favor Backstop did him earlier by saving Undermine from a nasty fall into the lava. (He did drop a few snarky comments about the spinosaurus's weight, though.) All was not lost, however, as Scourge returned to lead his people to safety, and they escaped the dying planet aboard the ''[[Ogygia]]'' and the newly rediscovered starship of Jungle Planet, the ''[[Hyperborea]]''. Scourge rallied Brimstone and his warrior-like people to the Autobot cause, and they all pledged themselves to defend Cybertron and the universe at Optimus Prime's command. {{storylink|Homecoming (episode)|Homecoming}}

[[Image:Thunderblast-Giant.jpg|left|180px|thumb|It's ''Jurassic Park 3'' all over again!]]
In the fight against Galvatron's minions, Brimstone and Undermine attacked the super-sized [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]]. They might have stood a chance if they hadn't called her a cow. A ''boy'' cow. Not smart. {{storylink|End}} After Galvatron was defeated and the black hole closed, Brimstone and the denizens of Jungle Planet worked alongside the Autobots to construct planetary thrusters to move their world back through the Space Bridge and into its normal orbit again. {{storylink|Unfinished}}

Life after the black hole settled into a new routine. A championship of strength was held to re-establish the proper leadership of Jungle Planet, and Brimstone and Undermine cheered from the sidelines as Scourge defeated Leobreaker and rescued his rule of their homeworld. They were slightly chagrined, however, when they heard Scourge declare there would be no more meaningless fighting. Perhaps at Scourge's request, Brimstone joined the Space Bridge project aboard the ''[[Lemuria (Cybertron)|Lemuria]]'' under [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]]'s command, representing Jungle Planet. Although he still seemed a bit contemptuous of those who couldn't fly, Brimstone allowed himself to be shooed away by [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] and joined up with Undermine before the launch of the starships towards their new destiny. {{storylink|Beginning}}

: Brimstone was also available in a Toys "R" Us [[exclusive]] "Value Pack" alongside [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] and [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]]; all three normally-carded toys were put in a large cardboard "sleeve" that let the bubbles stick out. This set retailed for $29.99... and since Deluxes were $9.99... not much of a "value" there.

[[Image:BWN Hydra card.jpg|right|300px|thumb|We'll have lots of friendly fun!]]

'''Hydra''' (ハイドラー ''Haidorā'') hates being left alone. Unfortunately for him, he has been stationed by himself on the distant planet [[Porcupine]] in the middle of nowhere. He can be very friendly, oftentimes a little ''too'' friendly. His joyful attitude around other [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] tends to weird out his guests. In an almost pathetic turn of events, his best friend happens to be the [[Ope|maid droid]] stationed with him at his bunker. As it is his only companion, he is very protective of it. Hydra may suffer from cabin fever, but he is still a talented warrior whom the Predacons can always count on when they need additional support.

Unfortunately, Longrack and Heinrad later deactivated the bomb.

Fractyl

2010-08-30T18:31:12Z

80.137.207.85: /* Beast Wars */

{{factions|predacon}}
:''Fractyl is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Fractyl bw.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Say, heard this joke the other cycle: "Why does a Decepticon wrap a Maximal in duct tape?"]]
From the moment he emerged from his [[stasis pod]], '''Fractyl''' has been more concerned with studying the strange planet's surplus [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]] than battling [[Maximal|Maximals]]. Though [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] tries to force him to be a warrior, it's no use. Fractyl is an excellent geochemist but he is, more often than not, a liability in battle.

Despite his shortcomings, Fractyl tries hard to gain the respect and admiration of his fellow Predacons, often to the detriment of the team. It seems the only one among them who does so is [[Vice Grip]].

==Fiction==
===''Tales from the Beast Wars''===
====Ground Zero====
[[Image:Fractyl critical mass.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Fractyl practices his end zone celebration by spiking the MacGuffin.]]
Fractyl discovered a new form of energy, which he named [[Furmanite]], and claimed that it could be used as an energon armor, shielding a Transformer from the effects of the Energon without the need of a beast mode. Instead of running more tests, he impulsively used it on himself, making sure it would work before presenting it to Megatron. Before he could bring it to Megatron, however, the Furmanite was stolen by the Maximal [[Packrat]].

Fractyl soon discovered Furmanite is actually anti-energon, a substance that could destroy the entire planet if it were exposed to high concentrations of energon. Fractyl risked both an encounter with the Maximals and the wrath of Megatron to catch Packrat before he went boom. He was able to reason with the Maximals and remove the Furmanite from Packrat, and even managed to make it look to the Predacons like he had driven off the Maximals single-handedly. Go, Fractyl. {{storylink|Ground Zero}}

====Visitations====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Doug Parker]] (English)

Fractyl and [[Vice Grip]] attacked Packrat and [[Onyx Primal]] as the two Maximals sought to recover a mysterious Plot Device, the [[Transfer Interlink]]. After being driven off when Maximal reinforcements arrived in the form of [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] and [[Rattrap]], the two decided to go get drunk on mech fluid. {{storylink|Visitations}}

{{note|No, really. It is called "Plot Device" in the story.}}
===''Universe: Featuring the Wreckers''===
[[Image:Fractyl wreckers.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Surprisingly it's NOT Fractyl that ends up there this time.]]
Having joined the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] under circumstances so far untold, Fractyl tagged along with [[Primal Prime]], [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] and [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]] to try and coax [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] out of her sulking emo phase deep in the caves of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where she went shortly after the death of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]. When the other Wreckers left frustrated and disappointed because Arcee wouldn't play with them, Fractyl stayed behind to talk, relating how he too had lost a good friend (presumably Vice Grip). He was then nearly killed by [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], but was saved by Arcee and the power of love. Fractyl later showed up in his shiny new body and paid Blastcharge back by slicing him in half. He used his new, jet-powered beast form to bring Arcee to the Wreckers' shuttle, which was already in the process of blasting off and leaving Cybertron. {{storylink|Departure}}

His victory was short-lived, though, as his seemingly buggy new body shorted out during a fight with [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] in the cargo hold of the Wreckers' shuttle. With no medic on board, [[Apelinq]] created a drone called [[CatSCAN]] to fill in. Fractyl was put into stasis for several cycles. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

After the Wreckers re-entered Cybertron's atmosphere, an emergency evacuation forced the crew to pull Fractyl and Rotorbolt out of their stasis. Rotorbolt came out more or less recovered, but Fractyl was still unconscious and in critical condition. While Rotorbolt considered putting Fractyl out of his misery, Tigatron intervened by using the last of his [[Vok]]-derived abilities to heal him. Fractyl, a geologist, was ironically out-of-action for the duration of the Wreckers' pursuit of the [[Divine Light]]. Once he was again operable, he was able to use his talents to analyze the prism-like object and give information to allow the Wreckers a victory over [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]]. However, this victory had a terrible cost. At the battle's end, Arcee and Fractyl departed to bury the body of Rodimus in a secret underground Autobot burial site. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

===IDW Comics===
Fractyl attended the Predacon military academy, being viciously bullied all the while. Though he barely graduated, he served under [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], and produced enough scientific gadgets to make-up for his lack of battle prowess. {{storylink|Beast Wars Sourcebook}}
{{note|The Beast Wars Sourcebook alludes to events in which Fractyl participates, within the IDW version of the Beast Era timeline, being similar to events in the 3H comics. Many elements from both timelines are incompatible, meaning that although roughly analogous to each other, these events are likely not exactly the same in the two timelines.}}

[[Image:ArmadaTerrorsaurCardart.jpg|thumb|300px|Citrusaur.]]

'''Terrorsaur''' is an obnoxious, loud-mouthed thug who no one likes. But he also happens to be a coolly-effective warrior on the battlefield, which is the only reason why his Decepticon comrades tolerate him. Of course, they'd never actually ''tell'' him he's a natural in the ways of combat. That'd just reinforce Terrorsaur's already over-blown ego.

Terrorsaur's partnered with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Ironhide (Armada)| Ironhide]]. Claimed by Terrorsaur after he killed her old [[Autobot]] partner, Ironhide became nothing more than a slave to the despicable Decepticon.

==Fiction==

When [[Unicron]] attacked [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Terrorsaur raced into battle with alongside the Autobots [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]], [[Airazor (Armada)|Airazor]] and [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]], though he made it clear he didn't want to hear any Autobot pep talks. Suddenly, all four of them were captured by Unicron so that he could cull their memories and learn what had preceded his arrival. {{storylink|The End}}

===Dreamwave ''Energon'' comic===
Millions of years ago, Terrorsaur was part of a squad of Decepticons under the command of [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]]. {{storylink|No Exit}}

Terrorsaur returned ten years after his kidnapping by Unicron, now changed into Famine, one of [[Unicron's Four Horsemen]] under the command of [[Alpha Quintesson]]. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} The Horsemen returned to Cybertron and began wreaking havoc until the Cybertronians were imbued with the ability to [[powerlinx]] with eachother, which allowed them to outpower Famine and the others and drive them off. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}}

Some time thereafter, the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]]' mission on [[Earth]] was not proceeding to Alpha Quintessons' wishes. Unicron's Four Horsemen thus forcibly retrieved the Terrorcons from battle through small warpgates to reassess the plans. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}}

==Notes==
* Terrorsaur's toy does not use the same tooling as the previous iteration of the mold, Terranotron. That version added a [[spark crystal]] to the twin engines in the back, which ''Armada'' Terrorsaur lacks. The non-toy character Ravenus uses a combination of the two, having both Powerlinx plugs and the spark crystal (used to represent his "[[Doomstone]]").
