(Scorn is a Spinosaur and Slash is a Raptor)
If they were doing a new Dinobot, they could have used the name Skar, the Dynobot medic from the Monstrosity comics as the fans would have accepted near any dinosaur mode for him as he was never shown with one. Oh well. As for Strafe, at a real stretch one could say the G1 character was a flyer that had two long gun things coming out the front, this guy flies as well and its just two heads instead. But I'm 100% certain that isnt it And Technobots and Dinobots are pretty much at opposite ends of the spectrum .




I wonder if the upcoming 'Rise of the Dark Spark' game is giving something away here? Apparently, according to the unconfirmed rumors about the upcoming trailer, the main human guy finds a Cybertronian artifact of immense power (which is apparently 'narly' looking). If the game is being tied in to the movie, have they just given away that the artifact in question is indeed 'The Dark Spark'?!?
