Some random human city...

Afternoon. Cloudy skies and a slight breeze. Nothing much else to say. It was a perfect day, but, for the humans that lived in it, it was mostly one where some groaned and others made a break for the nearest shop filled with angry mob supplies. For it was the 10th anniversary of the creation of a little place called Animacity. We're sure you know about the story regarding that development.

This is not about that city just yet. This is about the massive portal that opened up above one of the streets. The purple/white swirling portal expanded in size about the cityscape, grabbing the attention of plenty of civilians that either ran away or looked at it in surprise and wonder. After less than a minute, something fell out. Screaming down before hitting the ground with a THUD that resonated across the ground, this object appeared to be a large blocky piece of metal.

Except when the thing stood up into as a humanoid hulking yellow/white robot. No description is really needed for us readers as to whom just arrived. "Ow! Me Grimlock hit head!" The Dinobot leader rubbed his cranium, his mono-optic taking in the new area around him. "Where am me Grimlock? One minute, with others in fishing pool. Next, in human city! Me Grimlock ask for directions!"

Now, the thing about the size of the Dinobots. They weren't titans per say, but they were still big as two-story houses plus a couple of feet, if that makes sense. Naturally, the first thing the humans did to the giant mech walking about was freak the heck out. Like herd of panicked zebras, they stampeded back into any buildings they could, shutting the doors tight and praying the alien creature that just landed wouldn't notice him. "Why humans running away? It just me Grimlock!" He exclaimed, raising his sword. "See? Even brought sword!"

"Dear God, it's got a weapon! SOMEBODY SHOOT IT!" A random citizen screamed.

Grimlock continued to stand around and look confused before crossing his arms. "Hmph! If humans not gonna help, then me Grimlock help me Grimlock! Me genius! Deserve award." However, in the blink of an optic, he was surrounded by tanks, jets, helicopters, and army men. "Wow! Humans really fast! But why they pointing at-"

"ATTENTION TRESPASSER!" A general with a megaphone shouted. "State your identity and motives, then leave the premises immediately!"

When he heard that order, he stood proudly. "Me Grimlock! Me am Dinobot Me won't leave until you help me Grimlock find way home!"

"Are you from another planet?"

"Nope! Me made on Earth!" Grimlock shook his head. "Me Dinobot!"

"Hey! Quit it with the questions!" Another citizen shouted out of a window. "No non-humans allowed! I bet he's with the beastmen! I can see those little monster arms sticking out of him! He's a spy! A really awful one at that!" The crowd began to jeer, pointing fingers at the guy who literally came out of the sky. Suffice to say, hate was their way of life, so why should logic matter?

Grimlock covered his ears, wanting to drown out the pretty hurtful things they were saying. "Augh! Shut up! Me Grimlock no have to take this! Me Grimlock just want to go home and play with friends!" The army stood by as he was then pelted with garbage and other debris. The final straw came when a rotten banana smashed against his mono-optic, blinding him briefly. "That's it! TRANSFORM!" He roared before shifting into his iconic and wildly inaccurate Tyrannosaurus form (the long articulate arms with more than two claws at the end should send dino-nerds like myself into a frenzy).

He roared a mighty sound that caused the crowd to back off before he turned to the army, who's weapons were armed and ready again. "This is your last warning, beastman. Or beast-robot, as we'll classify you. In the name of the law, you are to retreat to Animacity or we will use lethal force."

Grimlock scoffed. "Hmph! Me Grimlock not scared of army guys. Bad humans puny!" He leaned into the general's face. "Me Grimlock won't ask again. WHERE. AM. HOME?"

Said general just bit down on the cigar he was chewing. "Not here, let me tell you...freak." He said that last part under his breath.

"Me Grimlock heard that!" In anger, the Dinobot lunged forth, only to accidentally smash a tank. The occupant had gotten out of there, but the damage had been done. "Me Grimlock have snack!" He began to chew on the ruined vehicle, feeling slightly better now.

"Can you guys just shoot it?!" That same rabble-rouser shouted again before another civilian put a hand on his shoulder. "Oh, yeah. Maintain our image and all that crap."

After Grimlock had chewed up all he wanted, he stepped towards the north. "Me Grimlock getting nowhere. Head to different city. Maybe me Grimlock find nicer people!" Growling in irritation, he stomped away, knocking around some cars with his tail out of spite.

Slowly, the General got out his phone. "Mr. President, we had a situation over here. I request we have some of our extra sets of eyes keep an eye out on...well, you won't believe me if I told you, but you'll definitely see it soon..."

Several hours later...

The sun was setting, shining brilliantly against the robotic Tyrannosaurus' metallic hide. However, as he walked through the forest, he let out a heavy vent. "Me Grimlock tired. Me Grimlock look everywhere, but humans so mean!" He hit the side of his head, causing a bunch of garbage and other junk to fall out of his audio receptors. "Bad humans weak. Could have at least given Grimlock challenge."

As he walked further through the forest, he noticed something in the distance. A gleaming metropolis much like the human city before, but it looked slightly prettier and it was surrounded by a large body of water. "Hmmm...if first me Grimlock don't succeed...um...uh..." As he struggled to figure out what came next, he had pushed away several more trees, revealing a sight that caught his sight.

There was a group of humans that was lying in a collective heap, beaten up by the strangest creatures that he had ever laid optics on. They looked like animals that Grimlock knew about, except they all looked much bigger and stood on their hind legs. Based on their expressions, despite his stomping around, they didn't see him coming. "Don't...move...a muscle..." A hyena-man shivered.

A silence followed that Grimlock gladly broke. "Hey! What going on? Why furry things look like that? You beat up bad humans?" He turned to the moaning pile. "Look like bad guys. Me Grimlock stomp into paste!" He raised a foot over the terrified humans.

"NO, wait!" One of the animal people, some raccoon girl (actually, Tanuki, as you know) about his age, got in the way. "They've had enough...whatever you are." She turned to the animal person that looked like a weasel. "Does talking to a random robotic dinosaur that could bite my head off convince you that I don't need to pay as much? I'm having a hard day as it is."

"Hmm...no!" Said weasel shrugged. "I can see it in his blue eyes. He's no threat, are you?" She suddenly moved up the Dinobot's leg, surprising him as she sat on his nose. "Then again, I just have to ask. Who and what are you?"

"Ah! Get off me Grimlock's nose, weasel!" He shouted, attempting to shake her off until his head was feeling dizzy.

Amazingly, she managed to cling on. "Normally, I'd give you an earful for calling me such an undignified thing, but you don't appear to be the sharpest knife in the drawer." Her already smug smile (which was getting on the Dinobot's nerves) deepened. "You know...I couldn't help but notice that both you and the girl here were lost."

"How you guess?" Grimlock tilted his head. "Me Grimlock can't find home." He then turned to the Tanuki girl. "You lost too?"

She still looked shocked, but she swallowed the lump in her throat. "Yeah. I, uh, think the Natural History Museum is back at the city limit." She pointed to the direction that the Dinobot had come in.

He just growled and shook his head. "Nuh-uh. Bad humans mean and stupid. Me Grimlock can't get any help there." He suddenly gasped. "You look like Lone Ranger! TV hero! Maybe Ranger can help!"

"Lone what-now?" She instantly got the joke. "Haha. Very funny." She dryly said, forgetting her fear of the robot dinosaur. "Just what are you?"

He pounded a claw to his chest. "Me Grimlock am Dinobot! Me strong and kick lot of butt! But...me Grimlock lost. Can't find home and other Dinobots."

"I'm not sure what a 'Dinobot' is, but your new savior, Mary Itani, can tell you where to go." The mink said proudly before getting off his nose. "However, that comes with a cost..." She wiggled her eyebrows at him, eager to see if he was packing some cash along with him.

The dinosaur Autobot looked at her, then the city. Her, then the city. This over and over again until he just stomped towards the metropolis in the distance. "Nah. Me Grimlock not pay for help. Me Grimlock get help elsewhere." Before he stepped away fully, he turned to the Tanuki behind him. "Weasel said you also lost. Maybe me Grimlock help by giving ride?"

Before the Tanuki could reply, Mary got in the way. "Sorry, big guy, but she's already got a ride. She paid for it, after all." She showed the both of them the wad of cash that had been exchanged.

"Don't remind me." The sporty girl crossed her arms in a huff before turning to the bit robot. "I think we can get some help for you in the city. You know how to swim?"

"Oh! And call me weasel one more time, and I'll go right up your nose."

Some minutes later...

Michiru and Grimlock had already exchanged names by the time both her current ride and the swimming Dinobot were side-by-side, approaching the mainland. Her day was already pretty stressful, considering her situation, but she never expected to cross paths with a runaway animatronic from some defunct amusement park or whatever a 'Dinobot' was. Still, he seemed friendly, if not a bit dim. "So, am humans friendlier in new city?" He asked.

"Correction." Mary raised a claw as her two teammates still eyed the Dinobot warily. "Animacity was specifically created for Beastmen. Honestly, were you built yesterday?"

"Nuh-uh! Birthday many solar cycles ago." He replied before looking at Michiru. "You look sad. What wrong?"

She turned to him, broken from her own thoughts. "It's nothing you would get. Don't worry about it."

"Rest assured, you're all gonna love it there." Mary assured the both of them. "You may have been lost before, but you'll feel right at home when you enter." While Michiru seemed to like that answer, Grimlock was a bit more hesitant. If his run-in with the humans was any indication, putting him in a crowd wasn't the best of ideas. Stupid as he was, he knew what would happen. Or really, he just didn't want to be called names and told to 'get out' again.

Shortly, they arrived, with the Dinobot jumping onto the shore. "They're not gonna freak out if they see him running around, right?" Michiru asked the mink, nervously glancing at how the monstrous robot saurian was chewing on a fish and ripping it apart. "Nevermind. Ask a stupid question..."

Mary just gave a small laugh. "You worry too much. If anything, they'll welcome him. Who knows how many Beastmen need a big strong guy to handle any problems that might come on. Now, run along. Pretend you never saw us."

"Me Grimlock good at playing pretend! Gotta go!" He turned to take his leave, Michiru following close to him as they went the same direction. "Where we going?"

"Anywhere, really. There's this...personal problem I need to take care of." She looked down before looking up at him. "So, are you a dinosaur who's a robot or a robot who's a dinosaur?" With her fear totally gone due to the utterly harmless nature of the big lug, she was starting to relax immensely. Maybe she was totally safe with a behemoth like this as a companion? Then again, she didn't want to take advantage of his kindness. She just figured that was a net positive.

"Me Grimlock made with bunch of bones and gears. Wheeljack make Grimlock and first Dinobots." He explained. "Me Grimlock strongest of all. That why me Grimlock leader!" He then looked sullen. "Me Grimlock hope other Dinobots doing okay. Nah, they strong too! Maybe they looking for Grimlock right now!"

Michiru sighed. "I had to run away from my family to get this thing solved. You sound like your family's rather close. What do you guys do? Do you also have your own city?"

"We have Dinobot Island, but we start to like hanging out with other Autobots. We get to beat up nasty and stupid Decepticons to defend Earth! Me Grimlock want to tell story about how Dinbots kicked butt of evil planet!" Despite his odd way of speaking, the way he sounded like a giddy kid was growing on her, but, again, so many questions...

"Wait a sec. Autobots? Decepticons? Defending Earth? I think we'd all know about that if we were attacked by giant killer robots. Let's face it. You yourself sticks out like a sore thumb." She replied.

He looked at her oddly. "What you mean? Earth attacked all of time! But...huh. What if this Earth not me Grimlock's Earth? What if Grimlock on other planet?!" He grasped his head. "Me Grimlock confused!"

"Calm down, big guy! You're gonna be fine!" She placed a comforting hand on his knee. "I guess we really do both have problems we can't explain."

"...yup. Too much thinking." Grimlock vented before the duo realized something when they traveled through the darkened alleyways and into the center of town. "It quiet. Too quiet. Me Grimlock always wanted to say that."

Nervously, the Tanuki nodded. The atmosphere wasn't anything but foreboding. That's when, at the corner of her eye, she saw a glowing white wolf standing atop a building in the distance, like an ethereal guardian of the night. "Did you see that?" She asked.

"See what? Giant scary group of eyes in shadows?" He pointed to just that, as two walls of glowing wolf eyes started to illuminate everywhere they turned to. "Me Grimlock not like this!" He geared up for an attack as the hordes started to draw closer. "Stand back, Michiru. Me Grimlock show scary animals who's king!" Ironically, his still stance made him seem like a statue, drawing a few glances, but otherwise, nobody paid him any heed.

Because why should they? They were all about to celebrate. Why worry about the sudden artistic dinosaur statue that probably got imported by the mayor? In that moment, every denizen threw off their wolf mask and exploded in cheer, with the place brightening up to boot. Pretty soon, the place had come alive with merrymaking and festivities, leaving the two slack-jawed. Grimlock's blue dino-optics scanned around for any danger, except there was none. "Uh...did me Grimlock miss something?"

Michiru, however, found her uncertainty absolutely destroyed by the sight of all of these beastmen in such harmony. "It's a festival, Grimlock!" She cried out joyously before realizing something. If Grimlock made one wrong move...

"Festival?! Me Grimlock like celebrations! Me Grimlock wonder if they have candy and prizes!" He exclaimed, stomping in anticipation and causing everybody to turn their heads to the thing they dismissed as a new, if not odd, statue. "Oh, no...here we go again." He groaned.

"Oh, crap." Michiru's tail straightened in panic.

Thankfully, an interruption came in the form of a giant monitor up above turned on, nabbing everyone's attention. "Everybody! Look! It's Mayor Rose!" A lion pointed. Indeed, the mouse woman on the screen appeared to be their leader and she had the warmest expression on her face.

"Greetings, Animacity. While the years continue with tensions between us and humanity, I can safely say we have made the paradise for all of us a reality. Our trials and hardships and love for each-other has given us this beautiful city and our acceptance of others into it is what will keep this place alive for many more years to come. For example...Grimlock. The one that appeared in the human city, step forth."

Both the Dinobot and Tanuki were rather shocked she knew of him. Before he knew it, everybody's eyes were on his giant frame, but his confidence did not waver. "Me Grimlock present! What scary mouse lady want? Me Grimlock want no trouble, but me Grimlock bring trouble anyday!"

"Scary?! She's a solid ten, dino-dunce!" A camel beastman yelled.

"Jerry, now's not the time to get people to question your internet history." His ostritch partner reprimanded him.

She just continued to give him that assuring smile. "Have no fear, friend." She showed him and the audience several images of his ill-fated arrival at the human city. "No matter how you got here, we know that you are scared inside. Unsure of where to turn to. You may have even lashed out in the process. Don't worry. We've all been there at some point." Several Beastmen hung their heads, finding that all too relate-able. Even Michiru had to concede the feelings of being without purpose and being lost in every sense of the word. "There is no more need to run or hide. You are welcome here, like everyone else."

Grimlock nodded vigorously. "Me Grimlock like you already! Everyone so nice!" He turned to the audience. "Me Grimlock like all of you! Hope best for entire city!"

"That's right! Let's us enjoy another ten years and many more of Animacity!" Rose exclaimed as the whole crowd erupted into further cheer, with Grimlock walking back to Michiru and even high-fiving a bird beastman in the process.

"Do you know what this means?" Michiru exclaimed as she tossed away her red cloak. "There's no reason to run anymore!"

"Hooray!" Grimlock jumped for joy, causing a tremor. "Oops! My bad! Me Grimlock be more careful." He lowered his head to get at his partner's level. "Want to have fun with Grimlock? See whole city from here!"

Without much care in the world, she hopped onto his head and her face lit up upon seeing how full of life every bit of the city was as she sat on his skull. "This is amazing! I can't believe I was afraid to come here!"

Grimlock, in turn, let out another roar, but it was one that was joined by several other roars in acknowledgement. "Grimlock happy! Maybe Grimlock finally get fanbase off of ground!"

And so, the two lost track of why they were here to begin with, joining in the fun instead. They marveled at a giant wolf skeleton float (though Grimlock said he could eat that thing in one bite, amusing Michiru). They joined in with the flamingo dancers (leading to a few more tremors, but the Dinobot could care less, 'cuz "Me Grimlock have finesse!"). And, of course, they gorged themselves on whatever food they were selling. The Beastmen were happy to show Grimlock the way to several discarded pieces of metal he scarfed down before he wowed them with his fire breath. "Me Grimlock having so much fun!"

"I know, right?" Michiru exclaimed as she drank her seventh can of Firebull, wowing the robot dinosaur with how she was gulping it down. "Whoo, this stuff has a real kick to it!"

"Yeah! Me Grimlock's motor circuits gone amuck!" He giggled after chugging two cans down. "Me glad Grimlock got to meet Michiru. You good friend! Should hang with Dinobots someday!"

As they laughed to each-other, she ran into another figure. This one was a rather intimidating wolf-man whom, despite his fearsome appearance, had tears leaking down his face. "Do you smell it? It's the smell of what many a Beastman has waited for thousands of years. Peace...joy...happiness..."

"Hmmm...me Grimlock am pretty gassy." The Dinobot smelled his own armpits (not that he really had those) before reeling away.

"Hrn?" The wolf beastman looked up at him. "You...despite the power I sense inside you, you seem to have a good heart. Please. Use it to maintain this peace."

The two stared at him blankly before they turned to each-other. "Buddy, there are many types of people. With him, it's both weird and scary." Michiru instructed.

"Yup. What him even talking abou-huh?" The mysterious stranger had suddenly vanished, leaving them both confused. "Me Grimlock didn't know stranger was magician!"

A few minutes later...

Somewhere along the way, the two had gotten separated, but it was a conscious decision. Grimlock wanted to go watch the acrobats, while Michiru wanted to get more snacks for later. To the Dinobot, it wouldn't be hard to seek out his friend, even among the crowd. The mass of patrons would part easily if he commanded it, given his size. Already, several reptilian beastmen were trailing him, asking questions and even wondering if he could be a representative of their human-related plight. He was just too busy watching the show to care.

"Me Grimlock may like here better than home! Nice people, good food, and people who are strong! Me think nothing can go wrong!" And that, dear reader, is the moment that our favorite failed to understand what not to say in any work of fiction in the history of ever.

KA-BOOM!

"OH, NO! IT WENT WRONG!" Grimlock shouted as he noticed a large plume of smoke and fire from the place with the now-fallen monitor. "Michiru! Me Grimlock coming!" But that wasn't the end of it. That terrorist attack was bad enough, but something else was about to wreck the festivities.

A large object was careening from the sky, like a silver/red meteorite. It crashed into a nearby building, leaving a massive hole in it and obscuring what was inside in smoke and fire. Grimlock's attention was already on it, along with the beastmen next to him. As they stared at the object, it then fell to the ground with a loud CLANG! "That no meteor! That..." Grimlock's optics caught a familiar purple symbol on whatever he was looking at. "Decepticon! Stand back, everybody! Me Grimlock beat up bad robot!"

Right as he said that, the Decepticon began to uncurl from his ball-like position. Much to Grimlock's surprise, he was about his height and he was in dinosaur mode for crying out loud! The hulking machine looked like a knight in wicked onyx armor, complete with a fault, boot-like feet, a gauntlet-arm, and a head that was basically a helmet with a thinner blue visor than Grimlock's. Rows of spikes jutted out of his back and his left arm was a massive whip that resembled at snake-like thick tail with a flail at the end. "Sc...Sco...SCOOOOORN!" The robot raised his limbs as he roared his name.

Everybody got as far away as they could as the two giants met in the center of the ruined festival, catching everybody's attention. Michiru, whom had just almost got killed by that terrorist earlier, noticed. "Grimlock! What's going on?!"

"Good to see you, Michiru! Me Grimlock ending day on high note by beating up bad Decepticon! Everyone! Watch this! GRIMLOCK TRANFORM! " Letting out a roar, he shifted into his robot mode, getting out his massive sword in the process. "Me Grimlock both beast and bot at same time! What can you do?"

The newcomer just growled at him in utter hatred as he flexed his claw and smashed his whip against the ground. "Scorn...SCORN HATE YOU! Scorn hate EVERYBODY! Scorn kill...KILL...KIIIIIILL! TRANSFORM!" The surprises just wouldn't end, as the enemy began to shift into a dinosaur, but one that looked like a demonic and rather outdated Spinosaures. The kind that was bigger than Grimlock's dino-mode, had long clawed arms, a crocodile-like maw that had embers constantly coming out of it, and a three-sailed back that looked like it would poke more than just eyes out. He roared an absolutely hideous noise that pushed back the smaller folk.

"Uh, friend of yours?" Michiru asked Grimlock, who's gaze deepened into a hateful one. How dare this Decepticon sully the name of the Dinobots like this?! How dare he?!

"Get away!" Grimlock yelled at Michiru. "Me Grimlock protect city from fake Dinobot! Hide somewhere safe! Grimlock not lose new friend today!" He gave a thumbs-up. "Me Grimlock got this." Even then, she could barely nod. She couldn't just let him get killed by this monstrosity of a robot. Unlike Grimlock's somewhat cheesy but cool dino-mode, this one looked like it crawled straight out of Hell to feed upon the souls of the living. Or something like that. Still, she ran off.

She looked back one last time as Grimlock charged forth, sword in hand. "Don't worry, big guy. I'll get you out of this mess before you know it." She swore to herself. But how?

(Autobots Theme-Transformers Devastation)

"Chaaaarge!" Grimlock shouted before he found himself holding onto Scorn's jaws as he attempted to take a bite out of the hero. Digging his heels into the ground, Grimlock lifted the titanic beast into the air and slammed him down into a large building, causing the rubble to pile onto the enemy. "Me win already? Yeah! Me strongest there is!"

His claim was proven wrong when Scorn burst from the rubble in robot mode, jumped past him, and wrapped his whip arm around his neck, bringing him close enough for an uppercut that sent him flying. "Scorn kill Dinobot leader! Then, make Dinobots allies so we spread mass destruction!" He shouted as he jumped onto Grimlock and began stomping on his chest.

"Nng...Dinobots...no follow...DECEPTICON!" Grimlock caught his foot and pushed back before lunging at his foe and just started pummeling him with this fist. He roared a berserker's call as he did so, even leaving cracks on Scorn's helm before he was headbutted off. The two stared at each-other again and, despite not having mouths, their hate was clear in how they moved slowly in front of each-other and how they clenched their fists. Some of the more superstitious beastmen swore they had different colored auras (Grimlock's being red and the other purple), showing the duality of their nature.

At last, they both transformed into their dinosaur modes at the same time and charged at each-other. Grimlock was about to grab onto those jaws again so he could split them apart, but Scorn suddenly leaped and made sure his spiky back was facing his foe's direction. The robot Tyrannosaurus found himself getting impaled by at least three of those spikes, pinning him to the ground and causing energon to be coughed up from his jaws. "Me Scorn want you to bleed more! MOOORE!" The Decepticon Dinobot snarled as he got back on the ground and pushed Grimlock onto the ground with his claws, leaving the neck area exposed.

However, as Grimlock struggled to keep the evil Spinosaurus from biting into his neck, a familiar smug beastman was tying leftover fireworks to the tail of the titan. The rest of the crowd decided to join by throwing all they could at the Decepticon. "Go back to the humans! You belong there!" A monkey shouted before throwing several oranges at Scorn's nostrils, causing him to sneeze.

The monstrous enemy roared at the crowd, scaring them back. "Scorn hate you all...Scorn destroy-"

"AW, SHUT UP!" Grimlock shouted before unleashing a blast of flame at his foe. Scorn moved out of the way, but a spark managed to ignite the fireworks on his tail. Scorn's expression morphed from ferocious to panicked when he realized what was happening. He attempted to blow it out, but Grimlock then turned into his robot mode and punched him across the skull, knocking him to the ground. "Me Grimlock give you express trip to sky!"

"No...Scorn...not weak...Scorn destroy you...then destroy Megat-" He felt his tail get clenched by his enemy's fists. "Oh, boy." Grimlock lifted him into the air and, as the fuses to the fireworks continued to burn, he swung the Decepticon Dinobot around and around and around.

Grimlock narrowed his mono-optic as he felt fatigue set in. "Me Grimlock...getting...dizzy...but me Grimlock never give up!" His swinging went even faster before he finally let go, flinging Scorn into the air right as the fireworks went off, sending him further away, roaring in panic and hatred at the same time. A silence followed before the fireworks exploded, leaving the enemy's fate unknown, but still creating a fantastic display anyway.

A moment of silence transpired before Grimlock, rather painfully, transformed into his dinosaur mode. "Me Grimlock save day! Beat Decepticon good and plen-BLARGH!" He coughed up a bunch of energon, his knees nearly buckling. "Me Grimlock feel sick...gotta find Michiru..." With that, he lumbered away from the wreckage, leaving everyone to their own thoughts about the situation.

All the while, Mary tapped her foot. "Not even a 'thank you' for helping him out of that situation? Hmph. Maybe some other time." She turned to the ruined buildings and terrified beastmen. "Although...it'll be interesting to see how this turns out."

"THE TRANSFORMERS WILL RETURN AFTER THESE MESSAGES"

Notes:

So, basically, Grimlock and the other Dinobots are all basically a bunch of very young adults (around the age of 16) because, unlike the other Autobots, they were made by Wheeljack around the time they came to Earth. It's been plenty of years, after Optimus Prime's revival during that Hate Plague episode, even. So, no need to feel uncomfortable.

Up Next: Where are the other Dinobots? What became of Scorn? And what trouble will Grimlock get into next? A lot, really.
