Neither Triceratops nor Stegosarus are sauropods, and that is Not A Subversion.


* [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in a big way in ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' with Slag, Sludge, and Snarl, three Dinobots based on the ''Triceratops'', ''Brontosaurus'', and ''Stegosaurus'' respectively, if only because they tend to spend most of their time in their alt-modes. Slag is a hothead who will GLEEFULLY turn his metal melting flame breath on anything that irritates him, or that he even thinks is irritating him for that matter. Snarl could give Grouchy Smurf lessons and doesn't much care who his tail smacks when he's walking around. Sludge MIGHT be considered gentle if he wasn't such a dim-bulbed klutz he that caused localized disasters when he moved around. An early two part episode of the original series even had the Autobots have to banish all five Dinobots because they were simply too destructive.
