Italics are up for canceling.

Can I have help turning them into characters?

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

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

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

I'm canceling everything from shunosaurus on down with the exception of Cearadactylus and Coelophysis. I have them in size classes now.

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

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?

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.

How about razorstrike for the deltadromeus?

ultimate dinobot wrote: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.

Maybe Slice then for him?

ultimate dinobot wrote:Maybe Slice then for him?

Going in the right direction.

Do you not know dinosaurs?

How about these species:
Abelisaurus

Sounds cool.

Looking at those species, they all seem to make excelant candidates for dinobots.

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

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.

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.

How about 'Stomp' for the Diplodocus?

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.

How About:
Concavenator
Rubeosaurus
Kryptops
Velafrons
Lexovisaurus
Kosmoceratops
