S.O.S. Dinobots

Plot Summary:

Strange vibrations (never explained) lead the Autobots to excavate a cave in the mountain housing the Ark, and inside they discover a hoard of fossilized dinosaur bones. Inspired by dinosaur size and strength, Wheeljack and Ratchet create the Dinobots. The Dinobots prove violent and unstable, and Optimus Prime orders them deactivated and sealed inside the cave. When the Autobots are captured by the Decepticons, however, the Dinbots are reactivated, and given a chance to prove themselves.

Best Dialogue:

Grimlock: "We do as told...for now."

Rumble: "If on Decepticon turf you happen to stumble, look out robot 'cause here comes Rumble!"

Watch For...

Wheeljack's 'ears' are orange this week.

Upon arriving at the falls, everyone transforms to robot mode, except Bluestreak who transforms to car mode.

When in the energon chains, at one point Prime is entirely blue.

Comments:

The sight of that cave full of pristine dinosaur bones you can pick up off the floor would reduce a paleontologist to speechlessness, I'm sure. I sincerely hope that Prime had that cave properly excavated before collapsing it with the Dinobots inside.

I dropped out of fandom and newsgroup sight for several years, I know, but has anyone ever brought up the fact that in order for the Dinobots to have bad grammar, they had to be programmed with bad grammar? I'd be hostile too if I'd purposely been created in such a way that I appeared stupid to everyone who met me.
