	Some years ago, the Dinoforce attacked a [[human]] freighter as it returned from Mars. The freighter proved no match for the Dinoforce, and they tore the ship to shreds, absconding with the energy onboard before it exploded. The only survivor was an infant named [[Jan Minakaze\|Jan]], whose parents had bundled him into an escape pod before their death. {{storylink\|Attack!

Their celebration at their apparent success was cut short when the power cut back out again, but for once their emperor was not enraged, having expected the power to falter and merely wishing to see whether the fortress still worked. Then Yokoryu spotted [[Galaxy Shuttle]] passing on the ship's sensors. At Deathsaurus' command, they attacked and paralyzed the Autobot ship, while he fought Star Saber. However, the Dinoforce found their way blocked by the Rescue Patrol Team and Jan pelting them with random debris. A frustrated Goryu ordered them to fall back in favor of sending a really big bomb over to the Autobots. That also failed thanks to Jan, who sent it back to the Decepticon ship, where it careened about madly, though thanks to Kakuryu's forgetting to install the ignition plug, it didn't explode on them. Humiliated, the battered Dinoforce went to retrieve their leader so they could get away. {{storylink\|Resurrection!?

Also unlike his original toy, his limbs are not designed to swap with each other. However, the Dinoforce now have actual dinosaur modes! Hooray!

	: Aside from everyone in the set having a new-mold head, Dinoking comes with a slew of new parts. His new fist-parts give him wrist swivels and a bit more forearm structural integrity. A pair of large non-firing missile pods attach to the soles of his feet, giving him extra stability thanks to the broader, solid surface and addition of ankle tilts. Three new melee weapons combine with the single small sword accessory from the original [[Snarl (G1)#Legacy\|Snarl]] tooling to form his signature axe from the anime. He also has a handgun based on the cannon from the original toy. Whew!		: Aside from everyone in the set having a new-mold head, Dinoking comes with a slew of new parts.
