Dinobot beast mode poll

Unread post by DarkSpark »

With the success of the recent Transformers Prime series, I've been thinking alot about what a Beast Wars reboot may be like and what changes we may see & what would remain the same. For example, should Dinobot's beast mode remain the same as before or be updated or changed given its inaccuracy compared to what scientists think real raptors looked like? i.e. feathers and what not? So I started a poll to see what you guys think, enjoy :mrgreen:

I like his old form despite the inaccuracies. And frankly, no one actually knows what they looked like, no one was there. So I think since it's still all just theory and it's fiction anyway then there is no harm in having his form with some inaccuracies.

Either of the raptors, I think. I can't really imagine him as anything else.

I dunno, I always thought Dinobot's original form was cool, but after reading up on how real V-Raptors were like, tiny feathered dinos much smaller than humans, it kinda disillusioned me a bit. I thought at first he'd make a fitting Utahraptor, but even they might have had feathers, and I don't know if Dinobot would look good in feathers, hence why I figure a Dilophosaurus or Allosaur may suit him better the next time around, both are hunters and far larger than a raptor.

Well.. size wise many of the characters weren't exactly accurate.. Megatron, for instance. I'm not sure if he's supposed to be a t-rex or whatever, but he certainly seemed a lot smaller than his beast mode would imply. The first two seasons anyway. Granted bugs were often a lot bigger in the past, but I'm not entirely sure how accurate a human sized wasp is for only being a couple million years ago. I think Cheetor commented on the fact Waspinator was different from the usual wasps.

We don't really know for sure which types of dinosaurs had feathers. Some seem very likely, but they have discovered that even an earlier "cousin" of the t-rex had some sort of feather like down on them. Perhaps they had feathers to have some protection from the cold rain, before the dinosaurs eventually died out and their surviving cousins became the birds we know today?

But true, I have a hard time imagining Dinobot as a vicious turkey too..
