Beast Wars Neo comic
Beast Wars: Uprising
In the 24th century, the Dinosaur was the only Cybertronian warship allowed to patrol the Allowed Zone. Unbeknownst to the Maximals and Predacons who would crew the Dinosaur, it was actually the mode locked alternate mode of Trypticon, damaged during the Great Push. Full-Tilt, wired into Trypticon as a replacement for his destroyed transformation cog, became the ship's immobile captain while the Autobot Micromaster Synapse served as the ship's political officer, keeping the Maximals and Predacons in state of simmering distrust.
When the Grand Uprising broke out, Hydra picked up Lio Convoy's call to arms, prompting Synapse to kill him. As he conspired with Trypticon to hide the body, the Dinosaur, responding to a distress call from planet LGC-8803, was attacked by an Intruder corvette seized by the Destructons. This set off a series of events that led to crew discovering the truth about their ship. To protect themselves from Trypticon, Dead-End destroyed the Megamaster's memory core but this left the Dinosaur rudderless and falling to LCG-880's gravity well. Slowed down by a Logicon tractor beam, Full-Tilt was able to transform Trypticon's corpse to robot mode, preventing a terminal crash and later reconfiguring the Megamaster's remains into "Dinosaur City".
