Shattered Glass
Kakuryu was one of the many Dinobots created by mad scientist Wheeljack as a means of revenge against Optimus Prime and the Autobots. The Dinobot herd interrupted a battle between them and the Decepticons at the Arch-Ayr fuel dump, but when Wheeljack told his creations to tear into the combatants, the Dinobots started tearing into each other instead. Eventually, he was among the eight Dinobots captured by the Decepticons, and would be given upgrades by Starscream to render him and the others more docile. However, Grimlock would bring Kakuryu and the others to Omega Terminus, which granted him an ember and the ability to transform.

Notes
- Kakuryu is based on his Victory counterpart's Pretender shell. However, rather than the Triceratops form said shell had, Shattered Glass Kakuryu has been reworked into a Styracosaurus.
- Kakuryu, Doryu, and Sludge were never named in "Dungeons & Dinobots" itself. However, artist Evan Gauntt would later reveal via Twitter that the three had been specifically called for in the story's script. [1]
- It's never explicitly stated Kakuryu is one of the Dinobots who became Dinocons, but come on.
