The name or term "Dinobot" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dinobot (disambiguation).
The Dinobots are a series of Autobot drones from Power Core Combiners.

Is the Space Pope reptilian?

The Dinobots are four robot dinosaurs who can combine with their Commander Grimstone to power him up in battle. They consist of a Dimetrodon, a Parasaurolophus, a Pachycephalosaurus and an Ankylosaurus.

Toys

Power Core Combiners

  • Grimstone with Dinobots (Power Core Combiners 5-pack, 2010)
The Dinobots are available with their commander Grimstone, who transforms into a robotic Styracosaurus. They automatically transform from dinosaurs to limbs using Automorph Technology when clipped onto Grimstone's torso mode. When detached, they transform back into their beast modes.

Notes

  • Dimetrodon is not actually a dinosaur. As a synapsid, it is actually a mammal-precursor. Inclusion of non-dinosaurs within the Dinobot roster is not a strange new development.
  • In a mildly amusing gaffe, the box identifies the Dimetrodon drone as a Spinosaurus, which is actually a dinosaur...and looks absolutely nothing like a Dimetrodon (y'know... beyond that whole "fin on the back" deal).
  • Don't call them the Dinozords.
