Introducing... The Dinobots

A few days ago a good friend of mine said that he saw a few spiders in my blog, with it cobwebs too. I replied that the spiders were my pets and i kept them to look after my blog. Hehe.
Actually i think that he saw these Dinobots.
What in the world are Dinobots? Well, they are actually Transformers. One of my favorites actually. Their origin varies from the cartoon series and the comics. Despite the many origin, the Dinobots were portrayed as an elite team of Autobots that kick-ass and doesn't follow orders very well. They are more loyal to each other rather than the Autobots. The Dinobots consists of 5 team members. Grimlock (leader), Snarl, Slag, Sludge and Swoop.

From left to right, Snarl, Sludge, Grimlock, Slag and Swoop

Their team leader is Grimlock.

Grimlock is one of the most powerful Autobots and is equal of Optimus Prime and Megatron. He is a loose cannon and doesn't regard other beings such as humans. Grimlock can snap anything by hi steel jaw in his T-rex mode. He also has Energo-sword and a double-barrelled, self propelled rocket launcher.

Grimlock in a few occasions also has become Autobot leader and also tried to ursurp Optimus Prime as Autobot leader. In the classic animation transformers, Grimlock was pictured as dumb. But he is anything but that. He is ruthless and doesn't follow command very well.

"Among the winners, there is no room for the weak"

Dinobot Snarl

Snarl is a dinobot that transforms into a Stegosaurus. He is a loner and usually unhappy except when he is embroiled in a battle or war. His spirits will lift up when he is fighting.

His spinal tail is gold plated and helps him to increase hi strength during the day, but during the night he is more vulnerable. He usually uses his energon sword rather than a gun

"Only in war there is happiness"

Dinobot Slag

Slag is a dinobot that transforms into a Triceratops. He is one of the dinobots that possess immense raw power and strength. He is also the only one that can stand up to Grimlock. Like other dinobots, Slag likes to battle. He has few friends and most of them are the dinobots only. He also has an energon sword and a high energy rifle.

In Dinosaur mode, Slag can spew up to 3,000 degrees Celcius and up to 25 metres up. His horn can shoot a high lasered beam. His thick head can shatter almost anything.

"I have no need for friends, even less for enemies"

Dinobot Sludge

Sludge is a dinobot that transforms into a Brontosaurus. He also possess enormous strength. He like other dinobots has an energon sword along with a rifle. He does believe that a strong leader like Grimlock should lead rather than a smart leader.

When in dinosaur mode, he can use his feet to stomp on the ground and cause tremors. It is a good weapon when fighting the Decepticons.

"Stomp your enemy, crush him under your feet"


Dinobot swoop
Swoop is different from the other dinobots. Apart that he is the only dinobots that can fly, he also has intelligence superior than the others. Swoop transforms into a pterodactyl. He has 2 missle launchers on both his wings. He initially was called Divebomb but that name was taken by a Predacon. He is less aggresive compared to his Dinobot counterparts.

"Fear can reach targets unreachable by bullets"

Dinobots smash!!

That's one of my collection of transformers. I'll be updating one by one as i grow my collection of G1 transformers.
And by the way Nik, i've sent my spiders away for a holiday. Hehe.

Fallen...

Last Sunday after clinic i rushed back home to bring my 2 kids Danial and Aiman to see ROTF. Unfortunately we came somewhat disappointed, actually we got 2 free tickets to see the movie in Queensbay Mall courtesy of our friend Farah that won the ticket via Radio Era and Petronas.
We arrived there at about 7pm as we were told to collect the tickets 1 hour prior to the screen time at 8.30pm. There were quite a number of people that had waited in line too. We waited patiently for almost 45min, but there was no sign of any GSC staff or the person that was going to issue the free tickets!! It was utter bollocks, why can't they just issue it earlier rather than make all of us wait. It was pure stupidity. As people were queuing up and making up space on front of the GSC counter.
I managed to coax my 2 kids not to see that night's show and brought them to the groundfloor to see the convention of Transformers toys that was organized by TransMy or Transformers Fan Malaysia. There were many Transformers Figures were on display. Aiman and Danial were excited to see them as they kept on shouting "Bak ada yang tu kan, bak ada yang ni kan". I got quite a number of them but i dont have the place to display them. Yet. I promised them that they would get their Transformers the next day after they come back to school.
I bought them while i was in KL the other day. The bigger one Desert Brawl for Danial for his birthday and the smaller one Depthcharge is for Aiman for getting no 3 in his class. I even manage to gift wrapped it for them.
