There's a party in my mouth, and only really depressing people are invited..

Dinosaurs are prehistoric reptiles that in the past dominated the Earth. Scientific dogma holds that they became extinct 65 million years ago. In the various Transformers continuities, this belief is often reassessed.

Dinosaurs' most prominent influence in Transformers culture is serving as the altmodes for some of the most dangerous (and occasionally ludicrous) Transformers of all time.

Fiction

Generation 1 animated continuity

The Land Before Time XV: The Great Robot Adventure

Dinosaurs survived the mass extinction of 65 million years ago and lived on into the present on the time-displaced, and energy-rich, Dinobot Island.

The most prominent saurians were the Dinobots, five rebellious (yet extremely powerful) Autobots, who proved time and again a match for an army of Decepticons. Other dinosaur Transformers are Trypticon, Sky Lynx, and the cassette warriors, Slugfest and Overkill.

Transformers who have Dinosaur altmodes have something known as "dinosaur electrons" within their systems. Transformation causes these electrons to release dinosaur transform static. Thief in the Night This is cartoon science at its finest.

Marvel G1 Continuity

Dinosaurs survived in a part of the Antarctic known as the Savage Land.

Victory

The Dinoforce consisted of 6 Decepticons with sentient dinosaur Pretender shells and the ability to combine into Dinoking.

Beast Wars

Everything is better in purple!.

Beast Wars featured two prominent dinosaur transformers, Dinobot whose altmode was a giant Velociraptor, and Megatron, whose orignal and Transmetal altmodes were that of a Tyrannosaurus. Later, Megatron used the Transmetal Driver to create a drone army velociraptors with Cybertronian enhancements. Cutting Edge
