Minis Dinobots (Transformers G1)

Grimolk: T-Rex

Some Autobots wonder why Grimlock (also known as Clobber [Note] ) is on their side. His disposition is much more suited to the Decepticons . After all, he values ​​power and strength over wisdom and compassion, and besides, he doesn't get along very well with most Autobots. When faced with a problem, his usual responses are to cut it down with his energy sword , tear it to pieces with his bare hands, or eat it outright. He is more willing to accept casualties than most Autobot leaders, and does not seem particularly concerned with carnivores either. These things, coupled with his dislike of Optimus Prime , have led to one or two defections on Grimlock's part. However, he would have no problem taking down the Autobot leader if he thought he could get away with it. What the Autobots don't realize is that the only thing he hates more than weakness is those who abuse their strength, meaning that when push comes to shove, Grimlock will always be on the right side of the fence. And despite their disagreements, Grimlock respects Prime's strength and leadership. His true feud within the Autobot ranks is with Prowl; Grimlock's chaotic behavior drives him crazy, and Prowl's uptight personality gives Grimlock a lot of trouble. Grimlock is the leader of the Dinobots, a small but powerful attack squad. Grimlock is extremely strong and durable, and is one of the few Transformers who can not only take on Optimus Prime and Megatron, but also give them a run for their money. Despite his strength and prowess, Grimlock continually struggles with his pronouns.

Snarl: Triceratops

Snarl is an unhappy, unsociable loner. He reluctantly follows Grimlock's orders and that's about it. He lets others do the thinking. He has few opinions and rarely voices the ones he has. Snarl's uncommunicative nature only serves to fuel his sense of isolation. On top of all this, he hates the ungainly stegosaurus form the Ark gave him and feels that the war on Earth means he may never see his beloved Cybertron again. Snarl is a deeply unhappy being. Snarl is only happy in war. Only the joy of combat erases the pain from his spark and allows him to forget everything except the growing thrill of the fight. For these reasons, Snarl enjoys combat even more than his fellow Dinobots. As an Action Master, he partners with Tyrannitron.

Sludge: Brontosaurus

"Sludge is a fool," is how Grimlock, the Dinobot commander, describes the slow, ponderous Autobot. The Dinobots have a perhaps undeserved reputation for being dumb, but Sludge is the very example. He makes the other four look like scholars by comparison. Since Sludge can't make much of an impression in the mental department, he likes to make his presence known physically. He stamps his massive hide to let you know he's there. None of the Dinobots really like Optimus Prime, but he and Slag share an especially intense dislike for him. Sludge believes that the strongest should lead, and in his mind, Grimlock is the strongest Autobot. But Sludge genuinely believes in the Autobot cause, so he tolerates Prime. Beyond that, Sludge is actually what you might call nice... Maybe not on the level of Swoop, but nicer than the other guys.

Swoop: Pterosaurio

Swoop (also known as Divebomb, Strafe, or Ptero) is the friendliest and most outgoing of the Dinobots. He is surprisingly good-natured, kind, and optimistic. However, few of his comrades realize this, as his team's reputation and alternate form - considered (for some reason) particularly "horrifying" to Transformers aesthetics - makes others wary of getting close enough to learn about the robot. Swoop is an excellent aerial combatant and bomber, and has become adept at using the fear his alternate mode creates in battle. He considers it his greatest weapon. Like all Dinobots, Swoop tends to be arrogant, disobedient, and generally at odds with Optimus Prime's leadership style. He is also a bit of a show-off.
