They look like their G1 robot forms in robot mode...If they wear to turn into vehicles not dinos

Grimlock- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MuncyTruck.jpg
Weapon: Chainsaw Sword, Dual Double barrel cannons on shoulder kibble

Sludge-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Koparko_ladowarka.JPG - (A larger version of this)
Weapon: Hammer formed from excavator arm and shovel, small pistons formed from support struts

Slag- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:988cat.jpg
Weapon: Flamethrowers on wrists and in mouth

Snarl- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trenc ... -25.km.jpg
Weapon: Double Barrel Solar Bazooka formed from saw digger

Swoop-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hawker_hunter_t7_blue_diamond_in_planform_arp.jpg
Weapon: REALLY SHARP CLAWS, Gatling Guns hidden in wing pods, and pistol...not that he needs it

For explanations as to how they transform just ask, I don't feel like writing them all on one thing it would be confusing.

The alt. mode you picked for Grimlock just doesn't seem to work, IMO. It doesn't hve the "Me, Grimlock badass"! feel to it.

Ummm... No.

The dynobots are either tanks/military vehicles or dinosaurs, but not, in any case, construction vehicles. (I know there was a RID figure called Grimlock by Hasbro, who was a construction v., but that is not G1 Grimlock)

Why would Grimlock turn into that?.

No.
Just make them dinos and get it over with...

GrimLock's vehicle is just....NO.
If anything(besides a T-rex) he could be whatever Scavenger turns into in ROTF, it's big and...stuff, and it isn't a weird looking truck...

Sorry I posted the wrong link that link was for the alt mode of another Autobot I'm planning on coming up with

Here is Grimlock:

Heh, I suspected that..no way you'd choose that for Grimlock... :KREMZEEK:

Well you're new choice is very good, fits him well and the shovel on the front gives it a more Grimlocky feel.

Needz more weaponz.

Trust me he has weapons...lots of stabby and blasty weapons conceled in his body.

Grimlock without weapons is like Optimus without a faceplate and the red and blue colors...It can't be done.

I just haven't thought up any others, but any ideas are welcome.

However no matter what you say...THE CHAINSAW SWORD STAYS.

You didn't specify "Prime".

There is no other Optimus other then Optimus Prime....Primal is a name thief.

If anyone wants to create fanart or anything like that of the Dynobots it is welcome.

One idea I had was a big fight, Dyno's versus Ol'One Eye himself...three guesses who Ol'One Eye is, fanart of this will make me happier then a fat kid at a cake eating contest.

Soooooo.....

Would these construction and military modes transform in robot sapiens or saurians?

I'd say this would only work if they turned into dinos, if not then all we really have is autobot versions of the Constructicons and Combaticons....but without the appeal of combining.

Still, luv that friggin chainsaw Tractor...would luv to driving that thing on the 405 fwy. Ha ha ha

The robot modes would look like the G1 robot modes, But with a third "robot" mode that is more dino like.
And yes driving the Chainsaw Mobile would be epic.

A Dinobot triple changer then.......

I can totally get on board that. In which case I would change Snarls alternate form to be Grimlocks so you can have a T-Rex bot with chainsaw teeth, which would then double as a chainsaw sword in his Sapien form. Though, I know the appeal of making Grimlock a military vehicle though.

Kuddos though on all your research, I might just make some fan art based on Grimlock. Just might.
Laters,

The chainsaw truck is more Snarl like to me and could be triple changed into a stego...with a chainsaw for a spine.

How come nobody tole me that they made trucks with chainsaws on them!?

Anyway, my thinking is that if they don't turn into some kind of dinosaur, then just leave'em out.

by **WarzoneBeta** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 5:05 am

If you like chainsaw trucks look up the Bagger 288....now picture that as a Transformer....boggles the mind...not really, still epic though.

And of course they have dino modes...without dino modes it...its like handing a 3yr old a toy and they snatching it out of the kids hand and smashing it.
