* EstablishingCharacterMoment: For most of his screentime so far, Dinobot comes off as the shows version of TheStarscream- an overly ambitious second in command focused on taking control for himself. But when Optimus slips and hangs over the edge of the rock bridge he and Dinobot are dueling on, Dinobot saves Optimus Primal rather than take his life. It's then revealed that despite his boasting, Dinobot is a ''warrior with a strong code of honor.'' This aspect would go on to define the character for the remainder of his arc.

** While Tarantulas wouldn't be clearly established as the Predacons' MadScientist until a few episodes later, Dinobot ''does'' bring up he is the only one with the skills to segment and transport Energon, hinting at his role as the EvilGenius.

* HonorBeforeReason: After Optimus takes a blast in the face, he trips and is hanging off the bridge. Dinobot prevents him from falling.
-->'''Optimus:''' What are you doing? You'd won.\\
'''Dinobot:''' You slipped. To defeat you in such a manner would be lacking in honor. I would not have earned the right to lead. I prefer to beat my opponents the old fashioned way: BRUTALLY!


Added DiffLines:

* LetsSplitUpGang: Defied. Rhinox suggests Optimus go on ahead to the mountain since he can fly, but Optimus thinks it's better that they all stick together in case of a Predacon attack or other surprises.
* MassOhCrap: As the energon's about to explode.
* NeverSayDie: Averted during the TakingYouWithMe example.

'''Optimus:''' That's right! Says me! You wanna question my orders [[PunctuatedForEmphasis one. More. Time?!]]
* BringIt: Just before the climax:
-->'''Megatron:''' Across the galaxy, it has come to this: face to face, tooth to claw. Have you anything to say?\\
'''Optimus:''' I'd say that's prime. Let's do it!
* {{Foreshadowing}}: En route to the mountain, the Maximals pass by [[Recap/BeastWarsS1E5ChainOfCommand a strange structure of alien design]].
* IOweYouMyLife: Optimus risks his life to keep Dinobot from falling off the bridge. Dinobot repays him in the end by deflecting Megatron's missile.
* TakingYouWithMe: Megatron attempts this by transforming to robot mode and risking energon overload just to kill Optimus.



--> '''Optimus Primal:''' "For now, we're stranded here with the Predacons on this unknown planet. Megatron may be back, and there is still more Energon. If they ever get enough, they could conquer the galaxy. So for now, let the battle be here on this strange, primitive world. And let it be called '''Beast Wars!'''"
