Gairyū

When he enters battle, Gairyu is a stampeding madman. He mows down his opponents with little to no discretion. There is hardly a structure capable of impeding his path of destruction. Whether it is a boulder, forest, building, or army, he’ll crush it, turn around, and crush it again. Gairyu enjoys his work a little too much. He takes pride in trampling his enemy and will remain dedicated to the task no matter what. He is always eager to enter the battlefield, unless it is a boring stealth or espionage mission. Gairyu is a robot of action and hates doing otherwise.

Abilities
When bonded with his dinosaur pretender shell, Gairyu takes on the form of an ankylosaurus. With his armored back bordered with spikes, he is a scaly tank capable of inflicting unfathomable destruction. Laser fire has difficulty piercing his nearly impervious hide, making his rampage all the more deadly. In robot mode he carries a massive double-barrel plasma rifle. This weapon can release blasts of energy with enough power to burn an entire forest to ashes.

Weaknesses
While a powerful warrior with an awful mean streak, Gairyu chose an unfortunate dinosaur to be his pretender. While his shell can protect him from nearly any amount of gunfire, it is also very awkward. If he is knocked to his back, like a turtle, he is incapable of returning to his feet. Gairyu is also easily frustrated. This odd weakness just adds to his enraging frustration, which only leads to sloppy and uncoordinated attacks.

Dinobots
The Dinoforce met the Dinobots in battle (years after Slapper joined). They matched each other in strength and power and both sides battled until there energon levels where low. At this point it was just these two taskforces left. The Dinoforce merged together and formed Dinoking. Amazed at this, Grimlock (commander of the Dinobots) asked if they would join the Dinobots. Without answering Dinoking attacked, they battled again neither side giving up. When they where both exhausted Dinoking agreed to join them as he considered them worth enough to fight aside.
