Terranotron (Dinobots)

This article is about the exclusive Dinobots-series Autobot. For the Beast Machines Dinobot, see Terranotron (BM).

Terranotron is an Autobot from the Dinobots portion of the 2001 Robots in Disguise continuity family.

Here we see a Terranotron utilizing the false "head" on his back to deter predators.

Terranotron is one of the mighty Dinobots. Sometimes he forgets his own name.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/29 When Megazarak departed for a while, the Dinobots pressed the advantage and set back many of Jhiaxus's operations. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/11

Toys

Dinobots

I think you need a few more Autobot sigils, dude.

• Grimlock & Terranotron (Deluxe 2-pack, 2003)
  • Accessories: Pistol

Terranotron is a redeco of the original Beast Wars Terrorsaur, transforming from organic Pteranodon (sort of) to robot mode with a single-step, spring-loaded transformation. His pistol folds up and stores behind his robot-mode head. He was available only in a Walmart exclusive two-pack with Grimlock.

Initial shipments of the Dinobots toys gave Terranotron the name "Swoop". This was changed fairly quickly.

This mold is also used by Lazorbeak, Fractyl, Hydra, and Age of Extinction Strafe.

Notes

• Yeah, we're gonna bring this up again... a Pteranodon is not actually a dinosaur.
• Terranotron and the other Dinobots had no "dimension" classification until an entry of the 2015 Facebook blog Ask Vector Prime assigned the 2003 Dinobots as Robots in Disguise (2001) characters.
• The Dinobots' card-art, including Terranotron's, was created by Marcelo Matere.
