Huge and powerful, he is also ego-maniacal, impatient and willful. He views Optimus Prime as a weak leader, too afraid to make the tough calls and act on instinct. As such Grimlock is more than ready to disobey orders if he thinks the ends will justify the means. His one obvious redeeming feature is his attachment to his team. As leader of the Lightning Strike Coalition Force, he has gathered together a group of similar minded individuals he would do anything for. Together they handle the jobs the Autobots don't have the stomach for. Shockwave's experiments not only granted Grimlock a new alternate form, but increased his power tenfold. Unfortunately this was at the cost of his intelligence. While he is far from stupid, Shockwave's experiments have made it more difficult for the former field commander to think rationally and made his already prominent rage issues all the more severe. Fortunately his team, reborn as the Dinobots, have become more tight-knit than ever. Together they are helping overcome his disgust at what Shockwave has done to him and see the advantages of his new power. --- [img]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111025055130/transformers/images/c/c9/Foc-slug-0-1.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/3/9/6/4/7/Dino1_1319224405.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Slug [b]Age:[/b] Unknown [b]Gender:[/b] Male personality [b]Weapons:[/b] I'm just gonna give him an Energon sword and a Gear Shredder (launches blade like weapon) [b]Abilities:[/b] Transforms into giant metal Triceratops (I think it can fire lasers from its horns) [b]Species:[/b] Cybertronian [b]From:[/b] Transfromers – Fall of Cybertron [b]Backup:[/b] Other Dinobots [b]Other:[/b] While Slug is the most technically minded Dinobot, he has some anger issues. Temper control is not remarkable to anyone familiar with the team, but Slug takes it in a different direction; being extremely passive aggressive rather than suffering from explosive rage. He constantly looks for opportunities to get sarcastic digs in at those around him and he's not particularly bothered who they are. Friends, enemies, or just people with tremendously bad timing; all suffer snarky and sometimes cruel jabs in response to anything they say or do. This makes Slug one of the hardest Dinobots for outsiders to relate to. Unfortunately, this bad attitude is backed up by a phenomenal stubbornness. Slug takes the straightest path in life and no amount of coaxing, reason, logic, debate or threats will convince him otherwise. He would literally rather slam his head against a solid wall than find a way round it. About the only thing that keeps Slug in line is Grimlock. Slug has an enormous respect for his leader, and while he may not do it with any good graces, he will always follow Grimlock's lead. That said, Grimlock is as much a target for jibes and ridicule as anyone else. Whether this is wise given Grimlock's self-control issues is irrelevant, as Slug never lets an opportunity to mock his leader pass him by. This overall belligerence may be why more than any of the others, Slug is one with his dinosaur form. It has gotten to the point where he has begun to despise his robot mode as a weak necessity. For him, Shockwave's experiments did not so much change him as allow his body to truly reflect the person inside: big, angry and with a head thicker than the hull of a ship. --- [img]http://static.seibertron.com/images/toys/uploads/1319225463_Transformers%20Fall%20of%20Cybertron%20-%20Concept%20Art_Swoop%20Bot.jpg[/img] [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130417212335/transformersprime/images/d/d9/SWOOP_THE_DINO.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Swoop [b]Age:[/b] Unkown [b]Gender:[/b] Male personality [b]Weapons:[/b] Energon Mace & Thermo Rocket Cannon [b]Abilities:[/b] Transforms into giant, metallic pterosaur (can drop bombs and rockets, as well as cannons) [b]Species:[/b] Cybertronian [b]From:[/b] Transfromers – Fall of Cybertron [b]Backup:[/b] Other Dinobots [b]Other:[/b] Like Grimlock, Swoop was a member of the brutal Lightning Strike Coalition—that is, until he was taken captive by Shockwave and forcibly changed into a Dinobot. And, like Grimlock, he is a powerful warrior, and though the other Autobots undoubtedly think of him as dim, he's at least enthusiastic about fighting Decepticons. But unlike Grimlock, Swoop enjoys his new form, revelling in the power and speed of his new pterosaur alternate mode. --- [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120428030946/transformers/images/f/ff/Foc-snarl-0-1.jpg[/img] [img]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120428031034/transformers/images/5/50/Foc-snarl-0-2.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Snarl [b]Age:[/b] Unkown [b]Gender:[/b] Male personality [b]Weapons:[/b] Energon axe & Electro Bolter (Kinda like a semi-automatic Harpoon gun) [b]Abilities:[/b] Transforms into giant, metal Stegosaurus (Tail spikes are insta-kill/heavy damage) [b]Species:[/b] Cybertronian [b]From:[/b] Transfromers – Fall of Cybertron [b]Backup:[/b] Other Dinobots [b]Other:[/b] (not much on this character, so I'm making my own description of him) Quiet and brooding is what defines Snarl. While he doesn't say much, when he does speak, it is usually to point out an error or threat. He also has a bit of a temper, however takes it out in a much different manner from the rest of the team. He is the silent brooder, growing quiet when angered. This anger can be quiet unpredictable, as it is hard to determine why he might be angry. He also is determined to be on equal terms with the rest of the team. However he is his own worst enemy, constantly doubting his ability. --- [img]http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/9/91/FallOfCybertron_Sludge_robot_mode.jpg[/img] [img]http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/2/2a/FallOfCybertron_Sludge_dinomode.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Sludge [b]Age:[/b] Unkown [b]Gender:[/b] Male personality [b]Weapons:[/b] Energon hammer & A-4 Pulsar Cannon (similar to grenade launcher) [b]Abilities:[/b] Transforms into giant, metal Sauropod (he is the largest of the Dinobots) [b]Species:[/b] Cybertronian [b]Appearance(s):[/b] [b]From:[/b] Transfromers – Fall of Cybertron [b]Backup:[/b] Other Dinobots [b]Other:[/b] Originally a member of Grimlock's Lightning Strike Coalition, Sludge was left for dead during the experiments that turned the team into the Dinobots. Though he was able to recover and rejoin the team as their logistics expert, he still harbors much rage over the fact that his own friends never came looking for him. [/center] [/hider] ^ Doing missions that normal Autobots wouldn't touch with a 8 foot pole! * Note that all Dinobots have the ability to breath fire, although Grimlock seems to use that ability the most, while the others rarely use it. From my calculations, iI have derived that most of them are Optimus/Megatron's height/taller. So that's between 30 and 45 feet tall. ---- I think I shall also replace Metalstorm with Soundwave
