A Cyber-slash tail weapon is a rotate blade in the Beast Era.

A Cyber-slash tail weapon[1] is a rotate blade used by the Predacon Dinobot. When Dinobot transforms to robot mode, his velociraptor tail converts into a two-pronged blade that spins and spins. When deployed, it can batter enemies, deflect enemy fire, or, when its wielder is up in the air, provide a more gentle, controlled descent.

It is also referred to as a Veloci-Rotor blade[2] or Rotary Blade[3] or simply as a "slasher weapon"[4] or "spinning blade weapon"[5].

Several other Beasties have similar or identical weapons. Grimlock's rotate blade is called a Spinning Slasher Sword, Hardhead's rotate blade is the Revolution Shield, while Thrustor's rotate blade is a Raptor Shield. Dinotron's version of this weapon is called merely a "spinning blade".
