'''Grimlock''' is a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' in charge of a small, three-mech group of dinosaur transformers known as the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]]. Born from a fusion of Earth and Cybertronian technology, with some All Spark intervention thrown in, he's a force to be reckoned with. A little short on brains (at first he didn't actually realise he was a Transformer) and a lot short on temper, Grimlock's answer to a problem is usually the simplest: squash it, slash it, bite it, burn it, or eat it.

Due to his rather unique birth, Grimlock has a slow but endearing speech pattern, which can easily make you forget he's Godzilla with style. And weapons.

Currently, Grimlock and his fellow Dinobots are living on an island in Lake Erie, hidden there by Prowl and Bulkhead from the rest of the world, human and Transformer alike. This looks like its just a stop gap however, as Grimlock's discovery of his status as a Transformer means he isn't going to be happy on his little rock. After all, him Grimlock badass.

Grimlock, [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]], and [[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]] were originally theme park animatronic displays [[Isaac Sumdac]] upgraded with the help of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] and a flash of spark from [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]]'s [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]] key. When they came online, Grimlock dubbed himself the Dinobot leader, despite Megatron's commands. However, [[Tutor Bot]] brought up videos on how cars use fossil fuels. Grimlock believed this to mean that cars ate [[Dinosaur]]s, and Megatron convinced them to destroy the "fossil feeders", including the only thing worse than cars...cars and trucks that turn into robots.

As the Dinobots raged against the machines, the Autobots drew them away from the city towards a park. Finally getting out of his funk, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] managed to throw them into a parking lot that their fire breath had melted into tar, trapping the Dinobots. After their defeat, they were imprisoned in an energy cage and were scheduled for meltdown. Believing they had life and were not just some mindless machines, [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] freed the Dinobots with the help of Bulkhead and secretly relocated them to an island.

Dwelling within the peaceful forest, Grimlock dubbed cars and trucks bad, but nature good—until two birds pooped on him. Redubbing nature stupid, Grimlock expected the two birds to fight like Dinobots, but they escaped!

Dinobot (Animated)

2008-03-15T18:21:24Z

96.237.146.106: /* Fiction */

{{disambig3|Dinobot}}

:''The Dinobots are an [[Autobot]] [[subgroup]] in the [[Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Dinobotsrobotmode.JPG|thumb|300px|We're Back! A Dinobots Story.]]

The '''Dinobots''' are a three-member subgroup consisting of the leader [[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]], [[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]], and [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]]. Violent and primitive, they were granted sparks by [[Sari Sumdac|Sari's]] [[Sari Sumdac's key|key]], and a range of combat abilites by [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Now they inhabit an island in the middle of Lake Erie, sometimes simply living in peace, other times getting involved in the thick of things alongside the Autobots.

==Fiction==
Grimlock and the Dinobots were originally animatronic [[dinosaur]] models at the [[Dino Drive]] theme park that were badly damaged by the clumsy Autobot [[Bulkhead]]. The remains were brought to [[Isaac Sumdac]]'s lab for repair, where the disembodied Megatron took an interest in them and attempted to turn them into robotic attack drones as practice for re-creating his own body. Thusly rebuilt, the Dinobots went on a rampage at Dino Drive, but were restrained by the Autobots when [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] captured them in an electromagnetic field. When Sari's [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]] key reacted by tugging her toward her Autobot friends, she plugged it into Bumblebee's weapons systems to boost their powers, but this only resulted in the Dinobots being blasted with All Spark energy. The three robots were apparently left deactivated by the blast and were returned to Sumdac's lab once more. It was there, however, that the full extent of their exposure to the All Spark's energy was revealed, as the three Dinobots suddenly came to life!

[[Image:DinobotsAnimated.jpg|thumb|300px|left|cars and trucks BAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!]]
The ''Tyrannosaurus'' dubbed itself Grimlock and declared itself to be leader of the group, despite Megatron's attempts to give the trio orders. In contrast, the lab's other occupant, the [[Tutor Bot]], happily responded to Megatron's cries for obedience and began a lesson on dinosaurs, their connection to fossil fuels, and the use of fossil fuels in cars. The simple-minded Grimlock took this to mean that cars "ate" dinosaurs, and Megatron convinced the trio to destroy these "fossil feeders", including the only thing worse than cars...cars and trucks that turn into robots. Equipped with deadly [[fire-breath]] thanks to Megatron's enhancements, the Dinobots set about their task immediately, inevitably drawing the attention of the Autobots. At Bulkhead's suggestion, the Autobots drew them to a deserted parking lot, where the Dinobots wound up defeating themselves by melting down the lot's maccadam surface into tar and getting stuck in it.

Sumdac intended to destroy the Dinobots, writing them off as mindless machines, and [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] agreed with his decision, but [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] could sense the spark of life within them. With Bulkhead's help, he relocated them to a deserted island where they could live peacefully and undisturbed. Grimlock took an almost immediate dislike to some birds that defecated on him, but his anger had an unforeseen effect: It triggered another of Megatron's enhancements and caused him to [[transformation|transform]] into robot mode! Snarl and Swoop were quite shocked, but Grimlock was rather pleased with the results. {{storylink|Blast from the Past}}

{{spoiler|Survival of the Fittest}}

Some time after the Dinobots were deposited on the island, [[Prometheus Black|Meltdown]] arrived to use the island as a hideout to create transformable humans. With his acid touch, he forcibly made the Dinobots his servants under threat of pain. In addition to having them serve as guards, Meltdown sent Swoop to kidnap Sari Sumdac. When Prowl and Bulkhead arrived to investigate, the Dinobots attacked them. After being dropped into Meltdown's base, [[Captain Fanzone]], who had followed the [[Autobot]]s, grabbed one of Meltdown's protective suits, which he used to trap the villain. Now free of Meltdown's control, the Dinobots transformed into robot mode and prepared to take their revenge on him. This wasn't totally unexpected; Prowl even offered Meltdown a choice: prison or the Dinobots. Then [[Colossus Rhodes]] and two of Meltdown's early transforming-humans experiments walked out, and the Dinobots turned their attention toward them, terrifying the trio of mutants right before pulverizing them. Captain Fanzone decided that as long as the Dinobots stayed out of [[Detroit]], he didn't have a problem with them being on the island, but Bulkhead and Prowl remained unsure whether or not they should inform Prime of what happened. {{storylink|Survival of the Fittest}}

*'''Snarl''' (Deluxe, 2008)

==Trivia==
*Excepting [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]], the Dinobots are the first Autobots with actual weapons, each with flame-based abilities: Swoop's flail, Snarl's club and Grimlock's sword
*It's never been explained where their faction symbols came from.
*Thus far, only Grimlock has actually learned to talk. The other Dinobots just aren't too bright. (And as there are no voice actors listed for Snarl and Swoop yet, this might take a while).
*Snarl was originally the name of the [[Snarl (G1)|stegosaurus Dinobot]], whereas the triceratops Dinobot was named [[Slag (G1)|Slag]].

Soundwave (Animated)

2008-03-15T18:19:10Z

96.237.146.106: /* Trivia */

{{disambig3|Soundwave}}
:''Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:TFAnimated_Soundwave.jpg|right|thumb|300px|When the Dance Dance Revolution comes, you will be first against the wall.]]

'''Soundwave''' is technology gone wrong. Machines are superior to humans: more logical, more intelligent, and longer lasting. It does not compute that humans control their robotic helpers, and Soundwave aims to lead the robot proletariat to rise against their fleshling bourgeoisie. The Decepticon cause is logical in Soundwave's optics, and he joined them in the hopes of overthrowing the human/capitalist oppressors. With an army of subservient mechanoids that he can control through powerful signals, that uprising just might be possible.

His arsenal of weapons and gadgets is unusually large, and includes powerful speakers, wiretaps, voice modulators, sonic signals that control lesser robots, and the uncanny ability to assimilate other devices into his body.

He has a [[Laserbeak (Animated)|pet bird]] that transforms into a wicked axe.

===''Transformers Animated'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jeff Bennett]] (English), ??? (Japanese)

[[Image:Soundandfuryprotect.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Don't you touch him! His voice is awesome!"]]

Soundwave was a robot originally designed by [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Megatron suggested [[Isaac Sumdac]] give Soundwave to [[Sari Sumdac|his daughter]] as a birthday present... this seemingly kind act, of course, had a sinister ulterior motive. Megatron knew Sari would use her [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]]-enhanced [[Sari Sumdac's Key|key]] on Soundwave, which would allow him to upgrade... and ultimately become Megatron's new body. What Megatron didn't count on, though, was that the upgrades would actually make Soundwave self-aware. Additionally, Soundwave concluded that machines should be the masters of the world, and humans would be an ideal slave force. Megatron decided that if Soundwave couldn't be a new body, he would be a new soldier.

He contacted Soundwave and convinced him to join the Decepticons, take control of the machines in [[Detroit]], and steal Sari's key. Soundwave promptly upgraded himself into a transforming body using controlled robots, and began his task. The revolution of the new robot overlords was, however, quickly opposed by the [[Autobot]]s. When Bulkhead came to rescue Sari, Soundwave appealed to Bulkhead to join the revolution, reminding him how Bulkhead had been passed by for Sari's new present. Bulkhead acted as if he was about to kill Sari...then used his wrecking ball to shatter Soundwave. The machines were restored to their normal operational status, and the day was saved.

Unknown to all others, however, Soundwave still functions as a small piece even after Bulkhead pummels him to scrap metal. {{storylink|Sound and Fury}}

* The [[Headmaster]] concept was originally part of the [[G1]] series & has seen [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|sporadic]] [[Sideways|use]] in [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|other]] [[Overload (Armada)|series]] since.

* Optimus tows a trailer with a [[Optimus Prime (G1)|certain paint job]]. Awesome.

* When Captain Fanzone switches Bumblebee's radio to something he likes, Bumblebee [[Bumblebee (Movie)|switches back]] to the previous radio channel.

* The song that Bumblebee likes is the same song that [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]] dances to in [[Sound and Fury]].

* [[Daniel Witwicky]] appears again, crying his eyes out because of Bulkhead.

* In their endless generosity, the Autobots send an [[B.O.T. (robot)|innocent cobbled together robot]] in to do their explosive, suicidal dirty work.

===Real-world references===
*The original Headmaster unit bears a striking resemblance to the Jet Piloter fron Mazinger Z.
*Masterson plays Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots with his Headmaster drones.
*When Bulkhead creates an image of the Autobots, he does so with the sound of an early 90s printer.
* In the scene with Bulkhead painting his hand, Bumblebee's pose (one leg behind his head, infront of a Jeep) is a direct refrence to the 1980 film "Airplane!" In which the main character is in a mental hospital and is painting a very similar image. (Bumblebee is missing the assualt rifle and explosion backdrop, however.)
