Mega-Dinobot

From Transformers Wiki

This article is about the combined robot from Energon. For other uses of "Dinobot", see Dinobot (disambiguation).

Mega-Dinobot is an Autobot from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Mega-Dinobot is the combined form of the heavy-assault Autobots Grimlock and Swoop. Though the two greatly enjoy splitting up to confuse and crush the Decepticons, Mega-Dinobot mode is perfect for taking out anyone who managed to survive the initial onslaught.

Mega-Dinobot combines the individuals Grimlock and Swoop into a single robot mode. Both components came in a single Mega-class multi-pack.

[edit] Notes

• The Grimlock/Swoop set was originally intended to be released in the Universe line, as the original Generation 1 incarnations. However, a variety of factors shuffled the set into Energon and new-character-dom.

• This set was not "mech-designed" or engineered by Takara employees, a rarity for normal-series Transformers toys.

• This set mercifully bears no relation to the other Dinobot-combiner storyline, "The Beast Within".

• Mega-Dinobot's robot mode face has molded-in teeth similar to War Within Grimlock's.
