Hacksaw, Knockdown, and Terrorsaur were among the many Mini-Cons created by the Last Autobot for the purpose of restoring Cybertron. Together they were the Dinobots, a fierce team of warriors that worked to clear Cybertron's underworld of mutants. Until his untimely death, Hacksaw served both as leader of the Dinobots and as second-in-command to Mini-Con leader Modus Prime. The New World

  • Dinobots (Mini-Con Team, 2006)
Sold in the first wave of Classics Mini-Con 3-packs, the Dinobots are a trio of tiny techno-dinos: Knockdown the Triceratops, Swoop the Pteranodon (yes yes we know that's not actually a dinosaur), and Terrorsaur the Tyrannosaurus rex. As Mini-Cons, each one has a "Powerlinx" socket that allows them to attach to larger toys with compatible Powerlinx plugs.
These molds were later redecoed into multiple different characters, but not always together; see the individual toy entries for more information on those redecoes.


Notes

[edit]
  • 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 being the original Generation 1 Dinobot.
