[edit]Ask Vector Prime
[edit]The Dinobots, including Terranotron, battled the Destructicons Bludgeon, Scourge, Dreadwind, and Smokejumper in Viron 403.0 Beta. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/29 When Megazarak departed for a while, the Dinobots pressed the advantage and set back many of Jhiaxus's operations. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/11
Toys
[edit]Dinobots
[edit]
- Grimlock & Terranotron (Deluxe 2-pack, 2003)
- Accessories: Pistol
- Known designers: Marcelo Matere (packaging artist)
- Terranotron is a redeco of Beast Wars Basic Class Lazorbeak (himself an all-new tooling based on the original Terrorsaur toy), transforming from organic Pteranodon (sort of) to robot mode with a single-step, spring-loaded transformation. His pistol folds up and stores behind his robot-mode head.
- Initial shipments of the Dinobots toys gave Terranotron the name "Swoop". This was changed fairly quickly.
- This mold was also used to make later runs of Terrorsaur in the UK, as well as Beast Wars Neo Hydra. The original tooling was used to make Fractyl and Age of Extinction Strafe (no, really).

Notes
[edit]- Yeah, we're gonna bring this up again... a Pteranodon is not actually a dinosaur.
- Terranotron and the other Dinobots had no universal classification until an entry of the 2015 Facebook blog Ask Vector Prime assigned the 2003 Dinobots as Robots in Disguise characters.
