His name is not Dinoboy and this is the episode he died so we would live, show the bot a little respect.

* RippleProofMemory: The Maximals and Predacons don't have their memories effected by changes in the timeline, otherwise they wouldn't have noticed when the mountain exploded and the disk's image changed.
* RockBeatsLaser: Somewhat literally, Dinobot defeats Megatron with a stone hammer.

Drop The Hammer is now a disambiguation page.


* DropTheHammer: Dinobot is so exhausted all he can initially do is attack Megatron with a stick. Then he shoves a rock through the top of it and bashes Megatron with an improvised hammer. Megatron is so startled he loses his grip on the Golden Disk, allowing Dinobot to destroy it. The early humans later find the hammer and use it to protect themselves from predators, implying that Dinobot taught them toolmaking.

* ProperlyParanoid: When Dinobot questions Tarantulas about the contents of the Golden Disc, Tarantulas insists he doesn't know because Megatron learned his lessons from the security breach at beginning of the Season. There are no more copies, only the original Disc -- which Megatron is now keeping on his person at all times.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The Japanese version has Rampage constantly throw threats and insults at Cheetor due to the fact that "Bad Spark" only premiered in Japan as part of a Transformers film special.


Added DiffLines:

* LostInTranslation: After the Predacons arrive in the valley, Rampage points his gun at Megatron only to catch Megatron grinning at him in his scope. Megatron's grin eventually results in Rampage lowering his gun as he can't wipe the grin off of Megatron's face. In the Japanese version, Rampage talks about shooting Megatron and Megatron tells him about the consenquences...with his mouth quite visibly shut.

* MyGreatestFailure: The thing that kicks off Dinobot's quest for redemption this episode. Dinobot's betrayal of the Maximals a few episodes prior is clearly such a burden that he contemplates taking his own life! Dinobot gets a chance to atone for his misdeeds, but at a terrible price.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Dinobot is exhausted and badly damaged after beating Inferno, Blackarachnia, Waspinator, and Rampage. When faced by Quickstrike, he barely has the energy to use his EyeBeams. He makes do by beating Quickstrike with his bare hands, and later wounds Megatron with an improvised hammer.



* JerkassHasAPoint: Dinobot argues with Rattrap when the latter hits him with a WhatTheHellHero but after walking away admits Rattrap was on point in regard to Dinobot's actions.

** As always, Rattrap is cynical in a dire situation, saying the Maximals will not be able to arrive in time to save Dinobot. He is right.



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Dinobot’s internal computer urging him to enter Stasis Lock with increasing franticness emphasises that unlike the usual damage the characters takes, he’s putting his very life at risk. Not that Dinobot didn’t already know his choice would lead to this, but the reality hits for the audience in this regard.

** When Megatron explains the transwarp wavefront is moving into the future, Rampage states he awaits Megatron's execution at the hands of the Maximals, and the proud Megatron does not deny that is a likely outcome unless he changes history to ensure the Maximals will not be coming.

* ScrewDestiny: An interesting variant of it applied here. Dinobot's personal conclusion isn't so much that destiny is a force that must be pushed back against, but rather that it doesn't exist period and every choice we make is entirely ours. Therefore he, ungoverned by some intangible force, opts to save the proto-humans of his own volition.

* OffModel: Look at Rattrap during Dinobot's funeral (he's operating the console in the bottom left corner). He's back in his original Season 1 body instead of his transmetal form.
