Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn. Tell us the lesson that we should learn.

A Cyber-slash tail weapon<ref> Beast Wars Dinobot's original packaging bio</ref> is a rotate blade used by the Predacon/Maximal Dinobot. When Dinobot transforms to robot mode, his velociraptor tail converts into a two-pronged blade that spins and spins. When deployed, it can batter enemies, deflect enemy fire, trim down wild bean vines, or, when its wielder is up in the air, provide a more gentle, controlled descent.

It has several other names:

  • Veloci-Rotor blade<ref>Beast Wars television commercials</ref>
  • Rotary Blade<ref>Beast Wars Universe</ref>
  • "slasher weapon"<ref>Beast Wars 10th Anniversary instructions</ref>
  • "spinning blade weapon"<ref>Beast Wars 10th Anniversary packaging call-out</ref>
  • Cyber Shield (サイバー・シールド Saibā Shīrudo)

Several other Beast Era transformers have similar or identical weapons:

  • Grimlock's rotate blade is called a Spinning Slasher Sword.
  • Thrustor's rotate blade is a Raptor Shield (ラプターシールド Raputā Shīrudo).
  • Hardhead's rotate blade is the Revolution Shield (レボリューションシールド Reboryūshon Shīrudo).
  • Dinotron's version of this weapon is called merely a "spinning blade".
