| 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.
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).
- In what is either a subtle homage or a heck of a coincidence, the Dinobots' combined form has a striking similarity to the Triceramax Megazord of Power Rangers Dino Thunder. Both consist of a Styracosaurus (Grimstone and the "Mezodon" zord) which has its power boosted by a Dimetrodon, a Parasaurolophus, a Pachycephalosaurus and an Ankylosaurus that attach as limbs.
