The name or term "Dinosaur" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dinosaur (disambiguation).
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 consensus 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 cartoon

The Land Before Time XXIII: The Great Robot Adventure

Dinosaurs were understood to have been sluggish and stupid. They dragged their tails on the ground, and T.rex walked fully upright. S.O.S. Dinobots

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


Marvel Generation 1 comics

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


Victory cartoon

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


Beast Wars cartoon

I'm an unusually small t-rex, yesss.

Beast Wars featured two very prominent dinosaur transformers, Dinobot (who was either a giant Velociraptor or a small Utahraptor), and Megatron, whose original and Transmetal altmodes were that of a small Tyrannosaurus. Later, Megatron used the Transmetal Driver to create a drone army of Velociraptors with Cybertronian enhancements. Cutting Edge Megatron later created Dinobot II, a Transmetal 2 variant of Dinobot.

Terrorsaur transformed into a Pteranodon, an extinct (non-dinosaur) reptile.


Beast Wars II cartoon

Brother, I think my horn has a rash.

Gigastorm, Galvatron's younger brother took the form of a theropod dinosaur. He then made several Predacons into Cyborg Beasts including Thrust, now Thrustor, a cyborg raptor.


Beast Wars Neo cartoon

The Predacon lineup consisted of a number of dinosaurs, including Magmatron's components, Guiledart, Hardhead and Saberback.


Energon cartoon

Cybertron cartoon

He acts tough but keeps disappearing when Grimlock walks in the room.

Two of Scourge's underlings, Undermine and Brimstone, transform into a Spinosaurus and a Pteranodon.


Animated cartoon

Open the door / Get on the floor / Everybody walk the dinosaur

Dinosaurs were now understood to have been quick and agile, with T.rex holding its body parallel to the ground. Grimlock and Snarl are dinosaurs (a T.rex and a Triceratops), while Swoop is a Pteranodon. They form the Dinobots, based on animatronic robots that had entertained the public. Blast from the Past
