I'd say it's more likely today than in the 80s, with the rampant and focused commercialism. The 90s though, they had plenty of exceptional show for matters like this. With Beast Wars, Gargoyles, and Reboot alone, it's hard to measure up.
U just don't see another warrior like dinobot like primal said he live a warrior and die a hero may his spark joined the matrix the greatest of cybertron . Goodbye old friend.
Dinobot was a such a good character. A formerly evil sentient robot who truly evolved. He died a hero and sacrificed his life to save the future of humanity. He chose mankind over his own life.

You know it's good stuff when you are crying, looking at computer-generated image of a dying raptor-robot, telling his friends to pass his story down, so he wont be forgotten. I loved Beastwars as a kid, I still enjoy it 20 years later.
I was a kid when i first seen this. It has FOREVER stayed in my heart as one of the TRUEST forms of CHIVALRY. NO MATTER HOW MUCH ONE STRAYS FROM THE PATH. A TRUE MAN WILL ALWAYS DO, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!
Nooo! Dinobot was such a great warrior. He was my fav Beast Wars transformer. I was pissed when he died, but at least he had a warrior's death & basically took out all the preds singlehandedly.....he's a true BEAST. I didn't care for the Transmetal version of him, it was a slap in the face to a champ, but I guess Megs knew he was such a great warrior that he'd be extremely useful. He needs to be honored on Cybertron somehow.
how cool would it have been if he got his own spin off, where in the future someone finds his spark and somehow brings him back, we need more characters like Dinobot, he surely was one of a kind..... till they cloned him.... twice
I disagree, Dinobot 2, was an interesting idea and obviously Megatron saw that Dinobot could be the perfect soldier for him if got things right. The clone Raptor was a first step in that long road. But Dinobot 2 ended up being interesting twist on the former Maximal warrior. I mean Megatron had the balls to make a clone of their dead friend and use him against them(on top of him being a Maximal Protoform) In the end Dinobot 2 died trying to redeem himself(that is what the original Dinbot died too in fact, after defecting to the Predacons), once his link to Rampage was severed/cut off. I was sad when Dinobot 2 died, they could've had the perfect chance to save their old friend.
Lol I've always thought that. The characters are so similar in personality, virtue and attitude as well as their character arc is almost identical. No wonder these two were my favorites 💕
Favorite episode, and favorite transformer of all time!!! I even liked him cloned with the spark of Rampage. Even then he was honorable and couldn't be killed!
Optimas Prime "Ultra Magnus, it is you, old friend, I shall pass the matrix, as it was passed to me."Ultra Magnus"But, Prime, I'm...I'm just a solder. I'm not worthy" Optimas Prime "nor was I but...but one day an autobot will rise from our ranks, and use the power of the matrix to light our darkest our" I have to much time
Right after Dinobot destroyed the Golden Disk with his laser eyes, I just heard my mom from downstairs say, "Imma firin mah lazar." Wrong timing lol But still though, Dinobot fought like a true warrior til the very end. Respect, Dinobot, respect. I just got the Kingdom toy of Dinobot because he too is my favorite character and mainly because I love dinosaurs. Looking forward to a vintage re-release toy of him in Walmart
he will forever be one of if not the best Beast Wars character out of the whole series. Shame that they didn't choose to make him into a Transmetal and keep him around for longer, but he did thankfully "come back" but we all know how that turned out (hopefully)
has anyone else noticed that that opening scene in this video is Dinobot preparing to commit seppuku? His whole arc is about coming to terms with fate. Is it real or false? Does free will exist? He outright says that if fate is real and everything pre-ordained he's gonna kill himself because his choices have already been made for him. Beast Wars showed a lot of death in the series. Several characters die over the course of the series but I think suicide is the heaviest of them all. And speaking of heavy, I love that Rattrap was the first to salute and if you watch carefully as he's dying he actually clenches Rattraps hand, still calls him "Vermin" and Ratrap is the last person he sees before his dies. The friendship they have is beautiful. Two soldiers from opposite ends of the spectrum sharing a strong bond of brotherhood.
He also makes sure to get one last insult to Rattrap before he can let go Rattrap: It’s nice to know where you stand Dinobot: Upwind of you for preference On one level you can think of it as just that an insult, but to my mind this says a lot about the two of them as a pairing that in his dying moments one of the things which is most important to him is that relation to Rattrap just as it is, as weird as it looks from the outside and incomprehensible to others as it seems it just mattered to him
@@tomsamper4345 It's that brotherhood I hinted at before. They're like a pair of brothers who best show their affection to one another through insults and roughhousing because they're just not the types who can really express deep felt emotion easily. I also think also it's Dinobot's way of trying to mend the relationship between them. Rattrap was the one most hurt by Dinobot's betrayal in "Maximal No More", It would have been nice for him to tell Rattrap he cares about him but that would be out of character. He's a warrior poet and would not be facing his end that way. He's exactly the kind of person to believe in "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light".
there’s a part of him in all of us and through us his message and courage will live on........ fight for others who cannot and never ever give up your morals and it’s never to late to fight for what is right so long as I live I will never forget him
Beast Wars was one of my favorite series as a kid and I still reminisce about it to this day. The only thing I hated about it was watching Dinobot die twice.
the first and best Anti hero to ever live... a predacon but with a deep sence of justice and honnor to go with it.... R.I.P the best role model a kid could have had... i gew up watching this guyand i wanted to be so much like him but when he died i didn't want to watch the series anymore
Dank Starscream Mabye a few more Transmetals and Fuzors would had been nice. I always wished Seasons 2 and 3 had 26 episodes like Season 1 did. Some characters were wasted like Terrosaur and Scorponok. But, none of that can really bring down what made this series so special.
A [true] sequel*. We'll likely never get either though, as Mainframe Entertainment is no more (ever since it was bought out & Rainmaker Entertainment it's just made unwatchable plagarist garbage), and one of the main writers for Beast Wars passed away some years ago. A remastered series would be good though, especially if rectifying the background animation in S1 (crude only because of time constraints), and some unused scenes restored, such as G1 Megatron's spark being restored to his body. Even better would be turning of the script "Dark Glass" into an episode at last.
@@BasedVegeta We can blame Hasbro's indecisiveness at the time for that (which really annoyed the staff at Mainframe), combined with the limits of computer animation in the '90's upon how many characters could be onscreen at once. That said without the limited character count, the writing and individual character development likely wouldn't have been as good. (as shown by the japanese spin offs, which fell victim to SELL MORE TOYS!! syndrome)
I wish Rattrap died instead. He was the worst Maximal ever. Dinobot, at least, learned how to be a Maximal and was a better Maximal than that stupid rat.
Rattrap and Dinobot had good chemistry. Rattrap is a demolition expert while Dinobot is more warrior orientated. Sad that Dinobot had to die. I guess Rattrap can be view as a comedic relief. I like both of them. If anything, Beast Machine made Rattrap completely useless.
AdmiralLink Dinobot 2 could had contributed to Beast Machines alot! Imagine how it would be like for Dinobot to see Megatron in control of Cybertron after all he did in the beast wars. He could had made an introsting character.
I hated that Dinobot was named Dinobot when I first started watching Beast Wars... The Dinobots were Grimlock and his gang.... not some raptor with laser eyes...but he quickly became my favorite character in the show and possibly my most favorite Cybertronion of all time..... What a boss.
Think this is why he was not given a new form until he was cloned. If he had a Transmetal or a Transmetal 2, he would have destroyed any of them. Think that was why Megatron made sure he had Scorpanoic ready to cheap-shot Dinobot in S1 EP1; Dinobot would have won the fight for leadership!
If only more people gave this series a chance, I did and I regret not seeing it sooner. This is on par with Gravity Falls in terms of character development
Dude this kids show literally had a character contemplating their existence. That’s the rarest thing you could see now days.
This episode and character gave me an existential crisis when I was like 10 years old.

Avatar did it in the 2000s as well.
Never has the transformers franchise known a more honorable warrior. His kind will not be seen again.
closest we got was surprisingly starscream from transformers armada
Lord dragon Dinobot was the best
May we hope, that one day, we will see another of his kind.
Dreadwing was honorable, just on the wrong side.

"So what's a warrior without weapons, huh?"
"A...warrior...still!"

I firmly believe that any man should have 2 role models, Dinobot and Hank Hill.

Started out as my most hated character of the show and ended up as my favorite , that's how good a development it was
4:01 Rattrap changes back to per-transmetal for the funeral.
TrebenWhahahaha it has the copper look of transmetal so no
Funny thing, the staff did not realize that they were using the wrong model until it was brought to their attention some time later.
Christopher Marshall hes missing his wheels, his tail is curved along his back, and his rat skin is greyish brown
the animation error everyone noticed... except the animators.
Oh my word, I have watched this scene so many times, and I just now noticed that!
Most can only die once for a cause. Dinobot died twice. Impressive, yesssss.
KoteVode Optimus could had rescued Dinobot 2. Still impressive nonetheless.
The beauty of a True warrior, self-sacrifice is all such a being knows

Dinobot uses the word "honor" more times than Zuko

This was such a great show. I wish it could be graphically improved for a wider audience
When Dinobot died (the first time) I ran into my room and cried.

At the funeral of dinobot you can clearly see that rattrap is in his season one mode
"And I, Have My Honor"
You know what I just realized, the masterpiece figure of Dinobot forgot to add his stone club to the accessories.
Dinobot's death is arguably the saddest moment in all of Beast Wars....nothing comes even close

3:28 He lived a warrior… a died a hero. Let his spark join the Matrix, the greatest of Cybertron.
Dinobot's greatest victory is that he wasn't alive to be in Beast Machines.
Dinobot and Dinobot transmetal the real hero of the all beast Wars

Dino Bot saved the world of Humanity and the Auto Bots’ race
i was so happy when i saw Dinobot to became dinobot again then when he died again like that i was like... atleast he died with honnor

The most honourable of warriors
The fact he nearly attempted suicide really says something about Dinobot..
Anyone notice that when they're cremating Dinobot, rattrap isn't a TRANSMETAL
