In my diaclone research, I came across the 5th Deluxe insecticon and even 6th (unmade) characters/toys, and there was much rejoycing.

Thought just occurred to me, what if there was more Dinobots from G1. What would it be? A pleseosaur? One of those little armored guys with the spikey tail...

I might do a little sketch work, who knows maybe I'll make one.

What would anyone else think?

well a good bet might be to look at what pretender shells they created for Dinoking. i think he was a six piece combiner but i may be wrong.

i'd bet on a resonably well known dinosaur so the one you mentioned sounds like a good bet. his name would need to be simple. i could imagine it using the tail as a melee weapon in robot mode too.

Not that familiar with them proto-TFs but that KO Prontosaurus Prehistory Animal of Sludge kinda reminded me of a Plesiosaur.

Dinoking...great idea for a template. Though I do so like the idea of the little Ankylosaurus would be perfect.

Going by Dinoking I'd say:
= Grimlock
= Slag
= Sludge
= Snarl
= Swoop

Leaving:
This guy...

You could also check out:
Grimlock & Swoop/Terranotron
Snarl & Sludge (with random dinosaur mode thrown in!)
Triceradon (Slag) & Slapper (the sixth member)



Going by them 2 teams, I think that an Ankylosaurus would be the best choice.

lol, you mean Snarl?

I say Ankylosaurus w/ Siburke.

I'm thinking maybe a saber tooth tiger too.

Got sketch ideas for the other guy. Steelclaw was just sweet, too sweet not to see if a dinobot version would not kick arse!

Now a Sabretooth is a real "Prehistory Animal" not a brontosaurus with wings!

Yes, but to be a Dinobot it would need to be a dinosaur first!

Definitely the Ankylosaurus!

Now, what name? Screak? Scum? Slap? Spook? Sprout? Stub? Snot?
