Triceradon (BM)

Triceradon is a Dinobot from the Beast Machines era

Triceradon is not the smartest Dinobot around. Making up for this, however, is his very amiable, truely friendly nature and his titanic strength in battle. Those qualities are what lead T-Wrecks to make him second-in-command of the Dinobots.

Triceradon's technorganic hide is tough as iron and his horns can generate paralyzing reverse electro fields. He carries two reactonix granades in his tail.

Beast Machines
Triceradon was one of the survivors of Megatron's virus and Vehicon invasion. Together with a group of like survivors he was reformated by the Oracle, using DNA information from the fallen Beast Wars Maximal Dinobot, into new technorganic dinosaur forms, to help in the battle against Megatron's Vehicons. Thus, the new Dinobots were born.

3H Wreckers Comics
The Dinobots were sent to an unnamed planet by the Oracle, in order to awaken the "sleeping giant" for a mysterious purpose. However, the mission was a fool's errand, arranged by the Quintessons and designed to destroy the Dinobots; the planet was the world where one of their most dangerous creations ever remained a prisoner, the energy-draining Trans-Organic creature known as the Dweller.

Beast Machines
Triceradon is a redeco of the Beast Wars Neo Destron Guildart. Despite the toys not looking it, all the BM Dinobots are intended to be technorganic. He transforms into a tricertops, and has a third mode that's supposed to look like a dead, decomposing triceratops. Really.

The same mold was used as Triceradon for the Walmart exclusive Dinobot line as well, but since that line sadly lacks any backstory or bios it is unknown what connection, if any, that version has to this one.

Universe
Triceradon was redecoed as an Autobot for the Universe line, given the modified name Dinobot Triceradon for stronger trademark protection.
