Dinobot Crown of Leadership

The Dinobot Crown of Leadership is a crown made out of a fluoro-steel alloy sometimes worn by Grimlock, apparently to signify his leadership of the Dinobots, or even the Autobots as a whole. It is gold and quite spiky and has a tendency to list to the left on Grimlock's head if the other Dinobots (we're looking at you, Snarl) aren't properly vigilant.
Fiction
[edit]Marvel The Transformers comics
[edit]
Grimlock had what appeared to be the Dinobot Crown of Leadership made for him just after he succeeded Optimus Prime as Leader of the Autobots on Earth. Mechanical Difficulties! He tended to wear it fairly religiously during his pompous, tyrannical reign. It was last seen just before his duel with Blaster on the moon that signaled the end of Grimlock's time as leader. Totaled!
