Intro[]
*Cue - The Crew Thickens*
A: Dinobot! The Raptor of honor from Transformers: Beast Wars!
Bob: And Prince Zuko, the fiery prince of honor from Avatar: The Last Airbender
*We cut to the crew*
A: They say never befriend a villain in life, but when it comes to these two. Yeah, make them your friends, you'll thank yourself in the long run. He's Bobgoblin, and I'm Anthony!
Bob: And It's out job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills, to find out who would win, A DEATH BATTLE!
Dinobot, the golden jerk[]
Bob: Cybertron, a world filled with robotic people who can transform at will into basically anything they want
A: You may know a few of these Cybertronians, like Bumblebee, Arcee, Mirage, Grimlock. Or you may have definitely heard about this guy, Optimus Prime! Leader of the Autobots and eventual winner of the war against Autobots and Decepticons. Story over, the end!
Bob: Except not actually, because we gotta go forward a few years into the future. How many you may ask? hundred? Thousand? The show never gives us a clear answer
A: All abord the time travel train! Because we get to meet the new and improved Cybertronians. Maximals! Now with animal transformation abilities that would make CGI movie makers today wet their pantaloons
Yoshi: However, when there is good, there's evil. The descendant of Megatron... Megatron, snagged the golden disk, and flew to the past to try and rewrite history! Thankfully, our Maximal heroes were there to stop him, and- Oh, they crash landed on prehistoric Earth. Talk about crash and burn, amiright or amiright?
Bob: These new Predacons, were lead by Megatron, and his second in command. Dinobot!
Dinobot: "No, no, NO! It's all wrong... This can't be Earth!"
A: Oh yeah, Dinobot was NOT happy when Megs landed them on the prehistoric planet and not the one we're all used to today
Background[]
- Name: Dinobot
- Nicknames: Dinobutt, Lizard Lips, Chomper Face, ect ect
- Tends to quote Shakespeare sometimes
- Is frenemies with Rattrap
- Former Predacon
- Has been cloned. TWICE!
- Is the best character in the show, I will not hear otherwise
Yoshi: So in true warrior fashion. Dinobot thought he would be the best fit to take over as command of the Preds. And when Megatron heard about this insubordination he actually took it pretty well
Kelsey: And by take it well, he means Megatron and his Barney lookin' arse, had Scorponok fire two missiles at him, sending him flying at least a few good hundred miles away to Maximal territory. Now if only it were that easy to get 1st class tickets all the time, I would do that to the pilots a lot more often
Shadow: I don't know what's weirder, the fact Megatron's 1st beast mode actually does kinda look like Barney, or the fact those missiles didn't explode
Kelsey: You really expect realism from a cartoon?
A: Wait, does this imply all purple dinosaurs look the same?
Yoshi: I sure hope not. My uncle Mackey looks nothing like Barney
Bob: *AHEM* So, after that whole deal, Dinobot took his efforts to the Maximals, to become their new leader, only changing his mind after Primal saved his life
A: *In old man's voice* And that kids is how I met your mother-
Shadow: *Shoots A* No! Nothing like that!... I still haven't recovered from the last time you made that joke
Yoshi: And after that odd welcoming, Dinobot was entered into the Maximal ranks. And started to be one of the biggest jerks I have ever seen in my entire dang life, and that's saying something. I went to elementary school with Garret Gunther
A: But either way, he made use of his time in the ranks. Because he used his everything to it's fullest potential to scrap Megatron and scrap him HARD
Arsenal[]
- Beast Mode (Velociraptor)
- Optic lasers
- Sword
- Spinning Tail (Used as cover, weapon, or flight)
- Laser Pistol
- Tactical Laser Shotgun
- Shakespearean quotes
- Projector
Mila: He can shoot lasers out of his eyes like Superman, transform into a velociraptor, and turn his tail into a makeshift shield, saw, or even for flight. Also, fun fact about the raptor, Dinobot's look is more based off the Jurassic Park kind of Raptor, nowadays he'd probably be portrayed with feathers on him, which is funny to think about
A: I'm actually really glad we got Mila on here. She researches the based stuff
Kelsey: Dinobot also grabbed a laser shotgun and pistol in the "Rise Of the Fuzors" & "Heroes Code" episodes respectively, and is actually a really good shot, when his ammo hasn't been depleted that is
Bob: In fact, in season 3, Dinobot's second clone got a projector that can, you guessed it, create fake obje-
*We cut to the crew*
Mila: Wait, second clone? He's been cloned before?
Bob: A, take it away
A: You got it! *AHEM* The season 1 episode Dinobot, which was the 14th episode of the 1st season and series as a whole, saw the Predacons try to break into the Maximal base by using a clone of Dinobot to break in. After a fight with the original Dinobot, he was taken down and was subsequently eaten by the original Dinobot. (Mila: What-) Then we go into the season 2 episode "Bad Spark" where Protoform X, or "Rampage" was found to have a spark that could not be destroyed, and thus became a Predacon after being found by Megatron (Mila: Where is this going?) THEN, season 3's 2 parter "Feral Scream", saw the 2nd Dinobot, Dinobot ll come to action, in which he-
*Mila's head then explodes in confetti*
Kelsey and Shadow: *Disgusted faces*
A: Aww... Her first Toon Force moment!
*We cut back*
Feats[]
- Survived getting hit by two missiles at the same time
- Survived being crushed under a pile of rocks
- Outsmarted Tarantulas and Blackarachnia with a Looney Tunes-esque trap
- Withstood a giant boulder crushing him
- Survived being hit in the cyber-testicals by a stray laser blast
- Defeated Optimus Primal, 2 different Megatrons, a clone of himself, Rampage, Waspinator, Quickstrike
- Defeated BW Megatron twice
Bob: Dinobot is also one of the most durable Cybertronians in the Maximals, being able to survive being crushed under mountains of rock, explosions, and even being hit in the family jewels, the most painful thing he's most likely ever went through
Yoshi: A normal boulder is around 80-100 pounds of weight, let's go ahead and consider each boulder to be 100 tons pressing on Dinobot. Considering this mountain seems to be pretty big, around lets say, 100 ft tall, that's at least 10000lbs of weight that Dinobot was under, and he got back up like he was taking a nap and had school the next day
A: But Dinobot sadly wouldn't be that strong for much longer. Because in season 2 of Beast Wars when he stole the Golden Disk from Megatron, he had some sort of an existential crisis. He thought since the future was written in stone, his fate would be inevitable. And so rejoined the Predacons for a bit, before going back to the Maximals
Bob: But after seeing what Megatron was doing. He knew that he could change his past, and so he joined the fight, taking down each and every Predacon there, including Megatron
A: *Whilst Sobbing* But he couldn't keep his spark intact forever *sniff* and so with his last bit of energy, he destroyed the golden disk, dying to save the life of humans and his fellow Maximals... *Sniff* And it's all because HIS TOY WAS DISCONTINUED!!!
Shaggy: Uhhh... Did I come back from my dentists appointment at the wrong time?
Jasmine: His sacrifice was not in vain however, because his clone, well 2nd clone, had a change of heart in the final episode of Beast Wars. Sacrificing himself to save the Maximals and the Arc, which Megatron was going to destroy
Shadow: He even made the same golden disk sacrifice years later in Fallen Kingdom, where he beat both the G1 and BW Megatrons, as well as Soundwave, who tanked the Toraxxis Mega Refinery Explosion at point-blank range! That's some dedication right there
Bob: Whilst other media have portrayed Dinobot before, the original just felt right for an episode
A: And you know what they say. The original is almost always better than the sequels
Dinobot: "Dinobot... MAXIMIZE!"
Zuko, prince of the D-Bags![]
Bob: Water
Yoshi: Earth
Kelsey: Fire
Shadow: Air
A: HEART!
Bob: All of these nations... Except for the one A said, lived in harmony, learning the ways of bending and basically living life the way they would in say, ye olde village times
A: But that all changed when the fire nation attacked! That's right, this kingdom of D-Bags started an all out world war between the bending nations. And it's all thanks to the biggest D-Bag of the D-Bags, Fire Lord Ozai. Accompanied by his D-Bag daughter Azula and the rest of his D-Bag army. And only the Avatar could stop them!... If he wasn't in a block of ice in the middle of the arctic ocean
Bob: And when he eventually got out of that ice, Ozai sent out a team to trap and kill the Avatar. And who did he choose to lead? Obviously, he picked the least D-Baggy D-Bag out of all the D-Bags in the fire nation- Ok, seriously we need another word to describe these guys
A: No. No we do not. Anyways, this least baggy D-Bag was the prince of the D-Bags. And his name, was Zuko!
Background[]
- Name: Prince Zuko
- Age: 16 - 91
- Prince of the fire nation
- Was his mother's favorite
- Got a nasty scar on his face that even Freddy Kreuger would be proud of
- Is probably the most simped for character in the show/franchise
Bob: Born the oldest to his sister Azula, you can say that Zuko most likely had a pretty good relationship with his da-
A: NOPE! Because Ozai favored Azula over the Z-man. Saying right too his face, that she was born lucky and he was lucky to be born
Yoshi: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE! The worst kind of damage
A: Well other then that nasty burn on his face he got when he was just simply talking at a meeting. This Ozai guy is giving a bad name to fire manipulators everywhere
Kelsey: Amen, brother
Bob: So 2nd degree burn and trauma grabbed, Zuko sent out on his quest to find the avatar and regain his honor for his father
Shaggy: I don't think he even had any honor when it came to his dad, but eh. What do I know? Like, I'm just a dude who likes eating sandwiches
Bob: Well honor or not, Zuko is definitely somebody skilled enough to take down the Avatar. He's strong enough to break metal chains with a kick, lifted Aang with one arm, and was able to survive his ship being blown up with him inside of it
Arsenal and Abilities[]
- Fire Bending
- Techniques: Blazing rings, Breath of fire, Dragon fire, Fire blade, Fire bomb, Fire stream, Fire whip, Fireball, Jet Propulsion, Lightning redirection
- Dual Swords
- Martial Arts
- Stealth
A: And as a firebender, Zuko is well, a fire manipulator! Harnessing the power of the sun to burn his enemies alive, like every level 100 or higher Arsonist does to me in TC2. I'LL GET YOU ONE DAY, ERIC MENDEZ!
Bob: Whenever fire remains lit in a not-to-cold area, Zuko is able to move and bend it to his will. Like Kelsey but weaker
Kelsey: Oi! No fire manipulator is weak. Unless it's TC2's Arsonist
A: UNLESS THEIR ERIC MENDEZ!!!- But still, which one would you wanna pick? The one where you can MOVE THE AXIS OF THE EARTH, TEAR OUT YOUR ENEMIES AIRWAYS, MANIPULATE YOUR ENEMIES BLOOD SO THEY CAN BE YOUR PUPPET, OR BURN YOUR ENEMIES TO ASH AS THEIR SCREAMS ARE HEARD FOR MILES AT A TIME, LEAVING NOTHING BUT BURNT, ROTTING, FLESH!?
*We cut to the crew looking terrified at A, Mila in tears in her fathers arms*
A: Why are you guys looking at me like that? These guys are more powerful then we think! What I stated is basically the truth!
Mila: You cannot be serious!
A: Oh yeah? I'll prove it!
*We cut back*
A: Zuko is literally a walking flamethrower-LIKE THE STRANGE ONE WITH 2934 KILLS OWNED BY ERIC MENDEZ- Firebenders can use fire to fly, redirect lightning, melt ice, create weapons, and CREATING F***ING EXPLOSIONS TO PROPEL THEMSELVES FORWARD
Feats[]
- Caught Lighting
- Survived his ship exploding with him in it
- Survived 3 weeks without sustenance
- Infiltrated Pohuai Stronghold without firebending
- Casually shattered a boulder
- Blocked an explosion from Combustion Man
- Fought and beat Azula as an equal
Bob: He also once took an explosion from this guy called Combustion Man, Megaman Robotmaster sounding name aside, CM's explosions can vaporize lakes. Making the heat radiating off at least 100 degrees Celsius!
A: And he didn't even sweat. Dang, somebody get me that deodorant!
Bob: And finally, after a battle with his sister, and his father being taken care of once and for all, Zuko took his rightful place on the firebending throne, and did for 91 years. Time is scary
A: Zuko really is, one hell of a bender!
Zuko: "I don't need luck, though. I don't want it. I've had to struggle and fight and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am"
Interlude[]
Bob: Alright the combatants are set! And I've run the data through all possibilities!
A: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!
The Fight[]
*We open up on a hallway in the fire nation palace, as a glowing bright light, summons a white orb that soon disperses, as Dinobot comes out of it, looking around the place we can see he has no idea where he is*
Dinobot: I knew those coordinates were off! I should let the others know before I cause some sort of time paradox
Zuko: You there! You must identify yourself or be taken to the dungeon!
*The new firelord then steps out from behind his guards*
Dinobot: Like I'm listening to a human. I do not need to do something as inadequate as identify myself to you..
Zuko: Talk about an ego. Guards?
*Some of the guards then rush at Dinobot to try and apprehend him, as Dinobot transforms into robot mode and knocks them all to the ground, and one out a window, as we hear him make a Wilhelm scream*
(Cue - Burning Honor)
*Zuko then drop kicks Dinobot as the fire lord throws a fireball at the once-predacon, as Dinobot moves out of the way, he dives into Zuko and throws him through a wall into the royal palace gardens, as Zuko creates some flames from his hands to slow his decent. Dinobot then comes in on his propeller tail and fires lasers from his eyes to attack Zuko, but Zuko manages to dodge them all and throws a fireball into Dinobot, causing him to fall into the water*
Dinobot: How dare you! I just got repainted!
*Dinobot then pulls out his sword and slashes at Zuko as Zuko pulls out his dual blade and they recreate the sword dual in the first part of Beast Wars' first episode, as Dinobot pushes Zuko back and he trips over a rock. And as it looks like Dinobot is about to stab Zuko in the stomach... He stops*
Zuko: your not going to kill me?
Dinobot: You tripped. If I were to end it now there would be no honor in it.
*Dinobot then helps Zuko up*
Zuko: Well, thanks
Dinobot: It's my pleasure...
*The dual then starts up again, as Dinobot kicks Zuko into a wall, and pulls out the laser pistol from "Code Of Hero" and starts to shoot it as Zuko, who deflects the shots with his blades. Zuko then charges at Dinobot, as he pulls his tail out as a shield, only for Zuko pass through him and fall into the pound, as he comes out of the water, Dinobot then throws his sword into Zuko's stomach, as it is still spinning. Zuko drops his baldes*
Dinobot: It is about time we finish this...
Zuko: I agree... And I'm not giving up YET!
*Zuko then breaths a lot of fire from his mouth as he starts to push Dinobot back, and Dinobot starts to get scuffed up and melting a little bit from the flames*
Warning: Energon levels lowering, physical damage extreme. Return to beast mode immediately
Dinobot: I don't go down... WITHOUT A FIGHT!
*Dinobot then fires the optic lasers again, and aims right for Zuko's head, as the lasers go straight towards him and go straight through his eyes, stopping the fire and ending the firelord. Dinobot takes his sword from the brave warrior and is transported back to the maximal base*
Rhinox: Woah, are you ok Dinobot?
Dinobot: Not another word... And while your at it... Get me to a CR chamber...
*Dinobot then faints on the ground*
Rhinox: He'll be fine. I'll go and take him to get fixed
Cheetor: I wonder what happened to him in there?
Rattrap: Eh, whatever it is. I doubt it could've been much better then whatever we went through here
KO![]
A: Poor Zuko, man. that had to have hurt... For the little time he actually had to feel any sort of pain
Bob: Zuko and Dinobot were evenly matched for the most part. Both were skilled warriors with quite a few feats under their belts
Results
- Dinobot (Winner)
- + More Durable
- + Stronger
- + Is able to take more of a beating
- = Attack Potency
- - Bigger body = Bigger Target
- - Slower
- Zuko
- + Faster
- = Attack Potency
- - Less Durable
- - Weaker
- - Can't take as much as a beating as Dinobot can
A: Now, Zuko surviving an explosion from Combustion man was pretty sweet, but Dinobot can scale to people like Cheetor who survived a point blank city block to town level explosion. Zuko can also survive a town level explosion but it's more of a small town then a normal town like the one Cheetor took
Bob: Not too mention, this is Transformers we're talking about. And even if Dinobot is shorter then your average Cybertronian, he's still at least bigger then an average human if the measurements from the show are right. So he'd probably be a rather well sized target
Yoshi: Both are pretty dang fast too, since Dinobot was able to shoot Waspinator and Terrorsuar in midflight, but Zuko was able to react to lighting and catch it. But when it came to a fight, Dinobot knew how to end one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this guy took a beating from every Predacon, as well as Beast Wars Megatron!
A: Who, and I hate to give this show any credit... *SIGH* Was able to steal the all sparks on Cybertron and turn it into a desolate wasteland in Beast Machines -_- God, I hate this show so much
*We cut to the crew*
Bob: Zuko was a lot faster, and his fire bending would've been able to take down Dinobot. But Dinobot had more options to end the fight then Zuko, and that's what lead to the Maximal's victory
A: Guess that taught Zuko not to BOT heads with somebody like Dinobot
Bob: The Winner is... Dinobot!
