Unfortunately for Shockwave, Grimlock managed to withstand Shockwave's mental conditioning. Shockwave was particularly interested in Grimlock, the most physically powerful of the bunch, and intended to turn him into a mindless brute completely loyal to Shockwave's cause. Beast Hunters #2 Shockwave then turned his attention to the four remaining members of the unit, enhancing their already formidable strength with numerous saurian attributes. Using him as a test run for his later experiments, Shockwave successfully rebuilt him so that he could transform into an Apatosaurus, then ordered Kickback to dump his stasis-locked body in the tunnels underneath Shockwave's tower. The first member of the team to go under the knife was Sludge, who had been badly wounded in the fight. Siege Mentality Having observed alien lifeforms on a distant planet through his space bridge, Shockwave begun surgically altering the Coalition, physically rebuilding them with new alternate modes while simultaneously splicing dinosaur DNA with their own CNA, giving them the ability to transform into various prehistoric creatures. Believing that the Coalition's strength and durability would make them ideal test subjects, Shockwave and his Insecticon hordes disabled all of them, while the Decepticon scientist carted them off to begin his experiments. As it turned out, Shockwave had deliberately set up his prisoner as bait so that he could lure Swoop's teammates into his clutches. ![]() The Coalition clobbered their way through the Insecticon swarm with their trademark brutality and soon discovered Swoop, who had been left alive and strung up to a strange machine. Good Intentionsīefore long, the team arrived at Swoop's last known location just outside of Shockwave's tower. When Grimlock received Swoop's distress message, he rallied the rest of the Coalition, and together they set off in search of their missing comrade, with Grimlock arrogantly believing that the fate of Cybertron rested in his hands. Secrets While Optimus and his team tried to scavenge materials for the Ark and escape from Cybertron, Grimlock and the rest of his team held the line against Decepticon forces, defying Optimus's orders to return to base. as well as Starscream, Shockwave, and a swarm of Insecticons, all operating out of Shockwave's secret laboratory in the Rust Sea. Swoop tracked a trail of clues all the way to the Rust Sea, where he discovered a vast pool of untainted Energon. Good Intentions At some point, Grimlock sent Swoop to investigate the Decepticon's seemingly infinite supply of Energon. ![]() In the waning days of the war for Cybertron, the commando unit known as the Lightning Strike Coalition fought under Optimus Prime's command, although they openly criticized his cautious approach to warfare Grimlock in particular. Sludge probably should have called in sick that day. The Dinobots managed to escape Shockwave's lab, and their mutual struggle to adjust to and understand their strange new forms has resulted in the team becoming more tight-knit than ever. One such rebellion resulted in the team becoming captives of Shockwave, who subsequently experimented on the team by giving with new alternate modes based on dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, intending to turn them into mindless berserkers. Openly critical of Optimus Prime's conservative tactics, the unit instead defers to their leader Grimlock, who isn't above defying his higher-ups if the need arises. The Dinobots are an Autobot subgroup from the Fall of Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.īelligerent, bullheaded, and rebellious, the Dinobots (formerly the Lightning Strike Coalition Force) are a brutal commando unit of Autobots, who handle the jobs that other Autobots don't have the stomach for.
