'''Following the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s destruction, the new Dinobots are unleashed! But what ancient horror is behind Grimlock's miraculous transformation?'''

==Synopsis==
The [[Decepticon]]s, led by [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], and the [[Autobot]]s, led by [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]], are battling for control of the [[Arch-Ayr]] fuel dump. [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] arrives with the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]], forcing the Autobots to withdraw. A thunderous clatter heralds the coming of [[Grimlock (SG)|Grimlock]] and the [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinobots]], controlled by [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]]. The mad scientist vows revenge on Optimus Prime. Optimus, however, convinces Wheeljack to use his [[ember]]less monsters against the Decepticons. But when ordered to attack, the Dinobots turn on each other and scatter.

Back at the Autobot base, Optimus vents his anger at [[Blurr (SG)|Blurr]] and [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]]. He orders all available Autobots to bring back the Dinobots for reprograming. Meanwhile, Megatron comes to the same conclusion, sending some top Decepticons after the beasts.

Some time later, [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Sideswipe (SG)|Sideswipe]] locate [[Slugfest (SG)|Slugfest]]. But the hulking [[Goryu (SG)|Goryu]] comes to the small Dinobot's aid.

Elsewhere, [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]], [[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]], [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]], and [[Blurr (SG)|Blurr]] debate who will climb a tower to retrieve [[Swoop (SG)|Swoop]].

Cliffjumper and Sideswipe finally defeat the two Dinobots and go after an Autobot passing on the horizon. When cornered, [[Huffer (SG)|Huffer]] admits that he's running from Grimlock.

The group of Autobots bring down Swoop, then Blurr and Rodimus respond to a call from Huffer about Grimlock's location.

Cliffjumper and Sideswipe track Grimlock to an old bunker. Sideswipe shows hesitation. This is the place where Optimus had Sideswipe attacked for insubordination after the Optimus killed Sideswipe's commander [[Drench (SG)|Drench]]. That conflict also led to Sideswipe's own comrade [[Cliffjumper (SG)|Cliffjumper's]] death. The current Cliffjumper dismisses those concerns and the two descend deep into the tomb-like bunker. While examining funerary hieroglyphics, a booming voice calls, "GET OUT." But the way out is obscured; the tunnels have changed. Continuing on their journey, Cliffjumper injures his leg in a trap.

Rodimus and Blurr arrive at the bunker. Along the way down, they also run into a booby trap. On the other side, they meet up with Cliffjumper and Sideswipe. Cliffjumper and Rodimus inadvertently tumble into a hidden passage, activating yet another hazard.

At that same moment, Blurr and Sideswipe are harassed by [[Mutant (SG)|mutants]].

Rodimus deactivates the crushing trap, and the two fall through the floor. Rodimus realizes that this place is where the Omega Terminus is hiding. He plans to use it to create his own army. On their way, they locate a vial of healing [[scraplet|scraplets]] who eat dead metal.

The mutants cease their pursuit when Blurr and Sideswipe reach the [[Omega Terminus]] chamber. The four meet up again, crossing a narrow bridge over a deep chasm. On the other side, they find Grimlock, who explains in his rudimentary way that a voice guided him to his chamber. A light shoots out of the Omega Terminus, striking Grimlock. The lumbering beast transforms into a robot, suddenly eloquent. To the surprise of the others, he's been granted an ember and a robot mode, along with a great deal of intelligence.

Grimlock proclaims that the Omega Terminus doesn't want the others here. Cliffjumper challenges him, but the Omega Terminus responds. Four corpses are animated, among them, the native Cliffjumper and Drench. Grimlock divulges that the mutants bring the deactivated robots back here so that the Omega Terminus can use them for new life. A battle ensues. The zombies are dispatched with the scraplets and Grimlock falls over the edge into the chasm. The formless voice again instructs them to leave, and the four are only too pleased to obey.

For his failure, Rodimus is sent to [[Ratchet (SG)|Ratchet]] for an upgrade: a new buzzsaw-hand. Blurr reports to Optimus that the Autobots have gathered eight Dinobots. Unannounced, Grimlock enters the room. He offers his services to Optimus while also asserting his independence. This enrages Prime, but Grimlock's intellect impresses the Autobot leader.

Later, Grimlock breaks into the Decepticon corral, promising the Decepticon-captured "Dinocons" a trip to the Omega Terminus...

==Quotes==
"Fear not, Mega-Dude! This is Soundwave, rockin' the radio from Darkmount, and I bring you joyous tidings! For I have totally called in the cavalry!"
:—'''Soundwave''' is the righteous bearer of good news.

"Shoot it! I can't keep this up forever!" 
"I can't, the glass gas'll blow back in my face!" 
"That's a terrible weapon!" 
"Why don't you just beat it to death with a ''missile'' if you're so smart!"
:—'''Sideswipe''' and '''Cliffjumper''' discuss tactics.

"Listen Huffer, you'd better talk. My partner here isn't quite what you'd call sane. He believes in Primus."
:—'''Sideswipe''' gives the Shattered Glass perception of Transformer religious views.

"Me... me... m... m... my... I... iii... I... Griiimm... lock... waaaaannnt... to talk a little bit about the truly fascinating effects of directly applied rearrangement when applied to instantaneous mechanical re-engineering! It is a fascinating subject, particularly in terms of practical application."
:—'''Grimlock''' goes from stupidly incomprehensible to intelligently incomprehensible.

"LEAVE WITH YOUR LIVES. NEVER RETURN." 
"And if we don't?" 
"YOU ARE OUT OF SCRAPLETS."
:—'''Omega Terminus''' makes a rather persuasive argument to '''Sideswipe'''.

==Notes==
* Something may be going on with Side Burn. Though he speaks like a mirrorverse Side Burn would (gently ranting against "undue attention to females"), there are other indicators that he's not exactly what he seems. He hasn't been with the Autobots long. He's one of the few characters, along with Crasher and Demolishor, who isn't based on someone from G1. Blurr remarks that Side Burn doesn't belong, implying there's something off about him. He may very well be the ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots In Disguise]]'' [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]]: at the [[:Image:Optimusprimaluniverseend.jpg|end of the Universe conflict]] he was last seen being tossed into a [[transwarp]] portal by [[Omega Prime]] (who, in turn, was sent not to his own home timeline but to a [[Unicron Trilogy]] universe).

* In the original [[Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass comic]], the Decepticons had never heard of [[Primus]] until Cliffjumper told them about Him. They are shocked to hear the idea that they are the work of a benevolent Creator. By the time of "Dungeons & Dinobots," word of Cliffjumper's "beliefs" has apparently made rounds. The Autobots consider Cliffjumper crazy and laughable for being "Mr. 'The Planet is a God.'"

==References==
===Transformer references===
* The [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]] makes its second appearance. They debuted in "[[Shattered Expectations]]".

* With the Dinobots crazed and scattered, and with both teams trying to gather them up, this story calls back to the Marvel UK's "[[Dinobot Hunt!]]", and Megatron names their mission a "Dinobot Hunt!" accordingly.

* Like the ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' cartoon continuity, Wheeljack created the Dinobots, except for [[Grimlock (SG)|Grimlock]], who is created by the Decepticons just like ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]'' continuity.

* Grimlock gained a remarkable intelligence, just like [[Grimlock (G1)|his counterpart]] in ''The Transformers'' cartoon episode "[[Grimlock's New Brain]]".

* [[Scraplet]]s return, but in this universe they're a healing potion.

* The [[Omega Terminus]] is the mirrorverse version of [[Vector Sigma]].

* A number of ''Shattered Glass'' Autobots are mentioned, including [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Fixit (SG)|Fixit]], [[Beachcomber (SG)|Beachcomber]], [[Chromedome (SG)|Chromedome]], [[Geronimo (SG)|Geronimo]] and [[Hoist (SG)|Hoist]].

===Real-world references===
* [[Gygax]], the location on Cybertron to which Wheeljack was exiled, is named after [[Wikipedia:Gary Gygax|Gary Gygax]], the creator of ''[[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]]''. The name of the text story and several of its settings, themes, and objects are an overt homage to ''Dungeons & Dragons''.

* Grimlock's shift to an intelligent robot closely follows a similar such scene in ''Gremlins 2'', when a Gremlin injected with an intelligence serum immediately declares that iiiii wwwaaaaaaannnnn....ttto talk about this fascinating phenomenon taking place at this moment.
