Thanks for the link Artemis. The ending of that comic made me wanna cry.
And yeah I like the original better than the TM2 version too. He may have been a clone of Dinobot, but he lacked a lot of the quailties of the Dinobot we know and love. Heck, I agree with this guy on DA who thinks the creation of the TM2 clone cheapened his death.
But like I said before, hearing about Dark Glass did give me some ideas. But there's just idea that I'm not even for sure that I'm even gonna use.

But I like TMII Dinobot,him being a calm strategist made me like him so much(But the Original is up there)
I think he was a fine Clone,but we didn't see enough character development for him.

but bringing him back kind of killed his death in a way.
it's like how people felt the first time Optimus Prime came back to life. They were happy but it kind of made his death cheap.
I'm not saying you don't have to like TM2 Dinobot it just got annoying having him there. When I saw him the first time I got this strange unpleasant feeling in my chest. I can't explain it very well but it made me unhappy because he just wasn't him, you know what I mean?
I felt the same way with Shadow in Sonic Heroes. He was there but he wasn't him anymore because he'd lost his memory.

Yeah, that's kind how I felt about him too Artemis. But when I first saw him, my first though was ZOMG Robo-zombie!
Yes I thought of robo-zombies then. TFA stole my my idea. LOL just kidding. XD
But Wonko does make a good point, that TM2 DB didn't get a lot character development.
I'm trying to think, who was it that said, bring a character back to life can work as long as do it right. I agree that the way they brought Primal back was successful, considering the fact the Maxies seriously needed him back.
But if you're gonna bring a character back to life, don't do it like in DBZ where characters just keep dying and coming back to life and as a result it no longer becomes a big deal when a character dies, because you know that there's gonna bring them back somehow. I like DBZ and all, but that aspect of it kind of annoys me a little.
Sometimes I wonder, who died and come back the most? Optimus Prime or Goku? I wonder if should start a topic about that in General Stuff.

I felt an odd feeling in my chest too,but of course I thought it could be him in some form,but,alas,it wasn't.....
But I completely change my mind when he attacked Depth Charge in a very stylize manner....and I thought'Ooh I like this one'
Let me see:
Prime-Came back in G1,Unicron Trilogy,Beast Wars,Animated,the Japanese continuity...
I'm thinking around 10
Goku:5 or 6.

Yeah, I think I intently thought of Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat then.
But in the RP I'm in we have both the orignal and TM2 Dinobot there. So far TM2 hasn't had alot of development yet. He's mostly there because of some plot twist I came up with. I think I might discuss with my RP buddies sometime on what to do with TM2 DB. So far we've just had him doing whatever Megs says and we did have him and the orignal fight at one point.

you know. I bet the reason I felt weird about him was because I first saw him in the episode where he's trying to kill Blackarachnia. I didn't see the episode where he came back online and I thought to myself. 'Is that Dinobot? Why's he acting so weird and when did he come back to life?!"
TM2 DB fighting the first one? I intend to do something like that in a fanfic I'm working on.

There's a YouTube video in which Dinobot and TM2 figures fight each other,but I 've never seen it. This topic is really sad at this point...I think I shall liven it up a bit.
More Ocs:
Whirlwind:
Affliction:Decepticon
Strength:5
Intelegence:8
Speed:8
Endurance:4
Courage:8
Skill:5
Moto:Knowlage and imagination are the gateways to discovery.
Whirlwind is a dreamer. Her twin brother,Thundercracker,constantly teases her on her uncanny ability to "Wander off into thought". Whirlwind does not see this as a disadvantage,instead she uses it to observe interesting facts about the world around her. She is peaceful,and doesn't fight unless she must. She is extremely powerful,however,though she does not know it yet.
Gale:
Affliction:Decepticon
Strength:2
Intelegence:4
Speed:5
Endurance:2
Courage:1
Skill:0
Motto:Stop and smell the flowers
Gale is NOT a warrior...why should she be? She's just a child! Her older siblings,Whirlwind and Thundercracker,keep telling her she should stop running away from her combat classes to play,and start paying attention to the world around her. But why should she? After all,it's much more fun to go in the fields and chase turbofoxes,than sit in some boring old class and learn to hold a gun!
Chaos:
Affliction:Decepticon
Strength:9
Intelegence:10
Speed:10
Endurance:9
Courage:10
Skill:10
Motto:Trouble IS my middle name!
Chaos is exactly what her name means. Vain and cruel,there is only one person she cares about:Herself. Abandond on the streets as a sparkling,she was forced to steal for a living,until she was captured by pirates to be a slave. When she had almost reached adulthood,she escaped to the mainland...only to be framed for a robbery and captured by Autobots. There she spent many a long solar-cycle in prison,plotting deeds of revenge. Eventualy,she escaped,but the damage was done. Vowing to crush all who stood in her way,she set off on a journey of conquest:To rule Cybertron. The way she sees it,she must either succeed...or die trying.

Cool OCs Razorclaw. Gale sounds adorable. ^__^
One of my RP buddies also has an OC that lived on the streets of Cybertron named Soultail. She ends up in the Beast Wars because she snuck aboard the Axalon. Through the course of the RP she became best friends with my OC Skyfire.

I got another OC but she doesn't have a name, yet. She's an undercover Maximal officer who spends a lot of time in the Predacon parts of Cybertron, looking for suspicious behavior.
She had a run in with Terrosaur that wasn't exactly professional. He hates her now because she betrayed him.

Hey Peoplez!
Wow, feelz like 4eva that i've been here (even thou its only been a coupla dayz).
Shoot dang Sky! I had that same idea for a series in progress. The TMII version o DB is fightin da original DB (only in my series he's transmetalized [but not TM
II]). Great minds think alike right?
I also came up with a new character, Smog. She's just your average everyday Maxi, den she walks on da wrong side o town and meets.... Tarantulas! Dun dun DUN!!!! o0o0o0o0o0o0o! The rest is top secret. Not really I'll prob spill if anyone asks me to.
na ha ha-ha.
Artemis Lady Warrior, O oo oo (in my head that sounded like a monkey noise)!! *starts singing Grease* Tell me more tell me more! Cuz she sounds like a... *stops* Whoa. wrong direction there. Seriously now (or am i eva serious???) I wanna here more bout your OC. who knows? We might be able to help you name her.
All da bestest,
tor

what's there to tell? He was lonely and she was looking for information. They happened upon each other in an energon bar and got to talking and well.... the rest is history.
I have yet to come up with anything solid for her besides her alt mode being a four wheeler.

That sounds cool. Though does she end in up in the Beast Wars or is she just gonna be pre-Beast Wars?
Come to think of it, in the RP I'm in. Terrorsaur has a tragic romance with Maximal femme before the Beast Wars. Then after losing her, he meets Waspinator and they become buddies. Then sometime after that they get hired by Dinobot for Megatron's steal the Golden Disk plan.

*jumps in after primus knows how long*
Orig. Dinobot vs TMII Dinobot? So I'm not alone! How cool! I was in an RP a while ago where that exact thing happened. Don't ask me how, but I ended up RPing both parts O_0
Orig Dinobot won, of course
Anywho, back to OCs: Razorclaw, I'm either blind or stupid, I think I missed the beast modes of your OCs :\
I'm debating whether I should use my little spare time to come up with a few specs of the Maximals/Predacons that have appeared in my fic so far. I mean, apart from the fact they've shown up, even I don't know much about them XD

I don't think she'll be around that long. I mean I've had her in my head for months and still haven't named her yet. I guess I don't consider her very important.
