If you’ve been wondering where this week’s strips have come from, this should be an informative video!
Wednesday’s strip was so hella long because cutting up the action into a week’s worth of updates wouldn’t have felt like it was in the spirit of the source material. Dinobot tearing through everyone takes up maybe 30 seconds, tops, and it’s a dense 30 seconds. So I decided to pile it all into one strip so it kept the same feel. Action sequences are kinda dumb when metered out six panels at a time, anyhow. You lose all the excitement.
At any rate, hope you enjoyed my tribute to Dinobot. There’s a short epilogue on Monday, and then we’ll be back to the usual in the days thereafter. I promise Ghostbusters, Batman, Mario, Optimus Prime and even Superstar Funana!
Today is the last day of the Hall of Fame voting. Throw one more Dinobot vote onto the pile, would you?
Argh! I hate you for linking that. I have seen that episode a dozen times and it always makes me cry every single time.
Pat Lee jokes? Much as I loved those every time you did them, hasn’t a bit too much time passed? He hasn’t done any new shenanigans in a while. Andy Shmoot’s the new fodder provider!
Oh, he’s done something new.
….I should have known. This should be good.
Walky, I am very appoint
with your efforts to get Dinobot into the hall of fame, even though he most likely won’t get in, judging by the fact Hasbro invited four dudes who (as far as we know) didn’t have much (or anything) to do with Beast Wars. Unless the Takara guys made Dinobot or something. That would be cool.
What makes this hall of fame less worthwhile is the fact its only on the US version of hasbro’s site so anyone else has to jump through a ton of hoops to find it, anyone would think the other hasbro branches dont rate transformers as highly as the US branch does…i stil voted a bunch of times though so i guess it was worth the jumping
“She lived to an warrior”
Huh? Lived to “be”, you mean? to “die”? (and it should be “a” warrior, not “an”)
It’s a Intrawebz joke/meme. If you don’t know it, meh.
Willis, you magnificient bastard! This whole week has been a blast. =) Much props to you, sir.
And I wish I could get people to send me stuff for free because of my talents. But who needs a guy that does quirky impressions? Lol!

p.s. Still pushing for a “Wyso Ceri” in Sydney’s family… >_>’ *SMIRK*
I voted, this one final time. Here’s hoping you get what’s coming to you, Dinobuddy.
Grimtock want blue lizard man win.
And.. voting is closed
and people complain about Drift being a poorly written fan self-insertion character.
Haha, that episode is the only one I own. I <3 it. And Chopperface~
I enjoyed the tribute a lot. thank you.
Wow I never realized how horrifically animated that show was. How could something so technically incompetent be so entertaining??? My mind, it boggles!
Seriously though, when he says “let the battle be joined,” his heroic ‘I have to pee’ pose cracked me up.
Dude, it was CGI television in 1997. At the time, it was amazing.
A: 1990′s CGI
B: It’s still better than Energon/Cybertron CGI.
Oh my god, it’s the truth.
Hey, I remember that episode. Very fondly actually. I remember thinking, even as a kid, how surprised I was that they allowed Dinobot to tear up Inferno like that. And I thought it was AWESOME. Dinobot was the best from that show, hands down.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s one of the things Fox Kids excised when they began airing reruns. You could get away with a lot more in syndication!
If he was still conscious and able to give a speech, how was he too far gone for stasis lock? I’m sorry, but Beast Wars was totally retarded.
If you watch the video, you will notice a scene in which the camera circles Dinobot and his internal computer warns him that if he doesn’t go into stasis lock, his spark will inevitably be extinguished, because it will be too damaged to persist. He ignored this biological imperative and pushed on anyhow. He punished his body beyond the point of return.
So, basically, it would have been explained quite clearly to you if you’d paid even the smallest amount of attention!
Wait… when Dinobot was cremated, was that non-transmetal Rattrap I see at the controls, beside Rhinox?
