Can I have help turning them into characters?

Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:46 am

Can someone help me come up with names and personalities for these Dinobots? I forgot to mention, I'm doing Megalosaurus also.

Mon Jun 07, 2010 5:56 pm

How about Slam for the Ankylosaurus? He likes to stomp things. (you never said the personalities had to be complex)

Tue Jun 22, 2010 3:06 pm

Yes, thank you, that would be great. Your right, dinobots don't usually aren't known for there depth in character.

Thu Jun 24, 2010 1:16 pm

Is no one posting because they don't know dinosaurs?

Sun Jun 27, 2010 12:44 am

It's a little harder to come up with names for animal characters than cars, it may take you a lot of brainstorming. Maybe you can just do some variations on the actual name of the dinosaur. Kind of like Cheetor(who was a cheetah), Rhinox(who was a rhino), and B'boom(who was a baboon). By the way, I'm also currently creating a fanmade team, I find that great ideas for names and personalities just come to you from seeing or hearing something simple. Be patient with yourself, and good luck! Oh, and for the velociraptor, maybe Velocirator or Velocirazor?

Tue Jul 06, 2010 1:34 pm

Thanks for the advice. How about Scythe for the Therizinosaurus and Sledgehead for the Pachyrhinosaurus?
Velocirator will work perfectly.

No problem. Looking at those two, the names make sense, and they're catchy. Sledgehead is very good, I like the sound of it.

Fri Jul 09, 2010 3:28 pm

How about razorstrike for the deltadromeus?

Ehh, I dunno. The razor part sounds fine, but the strike part sounds a little weird. I can't think of anything much better though, I thought of razortooth but that isn't much better. Since it's like a raptor and those are pretty small, thin, and fast. Try to think of a short, slick name. Like Blurr and Prowl and Sideswipe, hearing those names makes you think sharp and fast.

Sun Jul 11, 2010 11:37 am

Maybe Slice then for him?

104 Dinobots! Poor Wheeljack. He gets no sleep building these guys.

Sun Oct 03, 2010 4:50 pm

Should we also consider that the names should not only be primal and fitting to the character, but also a British derogatory term? Just a thought.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Oct 10, 2010 7:11 pm

Wow! that's a huge list and potentially a massive army. Will you still make their leader Grimlock?

I'll be honest, I know very little about Dinosaurs. All I could come up with so far is 'Slash' for the Velociraptor and that's about it.

Not much help I'm afraid.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Oct 11, 2010 3:45 pm

How about 'Stomp' for the Diplodocus?

Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:53 am

Yes, Grimlock is still the leader. They don't have to be s names, I tried doing that but it didn't take long before they started to become gibberish. Thanks.
