The name or term "Triceradon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Triceradon (disambiguation).
Triceradon is a Maximal Dinobot or Autobot from the Beast Machines portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
I'm amiable and friendly, really.

Triceradon is not the smartest Dinobot around. Making up for this, however, is his very amiable, truly friendly nature and his titanic strength in battle. Those qualities are what lead T-Wrecks to make him second-in-command of the Dinobots.

Triceradon's technorganic hide is tough as iron and his horns can generate paralyzing reverse electro fields. He carries two reactonix grenades in his tail.
