Personality & Character[]

Volcanicus is the fearsome combination of the Dinobots that was 65 million years in the making, and is now ready to deliver the Decepticons a world of pain. Given the Dinobots' reputations as brainless brutes, Volcanicus is similarly a mindless beast as a result, but given how it hasn't stopped the Dinobots before, it's not much of a problem.

He comprises:

Prime Wars Trilogy cartoons[]

Voice actor: Gregg Berger (English)Let's fossilize 'em!

The Dinobots attacked Megatron and his team in Primal Swamp, believing the Decepticon leader to be behind the recent apocalyptic threat. When all five were forced to the ground, the Dinobots formed Volcanicus to turn the tide of the battle. The Swamp He tussled with the others for a while, being pretty much untouchable, until he was knocked off guard by a surprise attack from the arriving Predaking. Volcanicus He quickly recovered from this and began chasing Predaking, who himself was chasing the others. They both finally stopped their assault as they witnessed Megatron enter a mysterious dome. Without Warning As they waited for Megatron to re-emerge, he started another fight with Predaking, but was knocked to the ground and got stuck in an energon pool. Unable to get back up, Volcanicus split back into the Dinobots to free himself. Primal A later attack on the Dinobots by Overlord and the Unicron-possessed Rodimus Cron led to the death of Sludge, consequently resulting in the loss of the ability to form Volcanicus.

Generations Selects Special Comic[]

When the Quintessons escaped their dimensional prison, they arrived on Dinobot Island in the year 2050, where they spotted and hoped to subdue the Dinobots to use as merchandise. Towards this goal, they summoned Predaking, who had the Dinobots on the ropes till Grimlock was encouraged by telepathic messages from the Primus of the past universe to use Earth's Angolmois Energy to manifest his heart's strength to reality. With this energy and the lending of an Energon Matrix from Grimmaster, Grimlock and the other four original Dinobots combined into the mighty Volcanicus. Predaking attempted to use Slash as a hostage, but the Magma Blades-armed Volcanicus was nevertheless able to slash Predaking apart into his Predacon components, who quickly retreated, and save his "little sister". Soon after, Volcanicus was contacted by Spike Witwicky about the Selector revolt at Neo Scramble City, so Volcanicus's components split up to go and assist their allies. Volcanicus comic 2

Transformers: Earth Wars[]

'Monster' is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat. After Snarl returned from Nebulos and retrieved the plans for the Quintesson Hive Matrix, he stated that the Dinobots would soon be one. Mission Accomplished

Grimlock wanted to form his combined form almost immediately, so he got help from Jetfire to open the Enigma vault and got his hands on the Enigma. But Swoop noticed a cerebro-shell in the back of Jetfire's head! Trying to form Volcanicus, Grimock ordered the Dinobots to combine, but nothing happened. As it turned out, the Dinobots didn't know how to work the Enigma. Soon, Bruticus and Superion arrived on the scene, and the two duked it out while Grimlock desperately tried to figure out how to use the Enigma.

Learning of the Dinobots' actions, Optimus activated the Enigma, creating Volcanicus and Predaking in the process! Springer retreived the Enigma, but the Dinobots and Predacons had unfinished business, so they settled on finishing the score later, in their new combined forms.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Volcanicus's sword in Earth Wars is based on the one used by Fall of Cybertron Grimlock. The Power of the Primes toy does not include this sword, but feel free to take it from the earlier toy...if you want Volcanicus to have a tiny dinner party knife for serving cheese!
  • Oddly enough, the Earth Wars design, NYCC 2017 prototype, packaging art, and Power of the Primes cartoon depict Volcanicus with Sludge's head facing down, but the instructions show his head pointing upwards. Similarly, Slug's head points outwards in Earth Wars and the packaging art, but upwards in the cartoon and on the toy itself.
  • Volcanicus' default limb arrangement is a mirrored version of the arrangement used for The Beast.
  • Four of the original five Dinobot designs served as the templates for the "Geisters", recurring villainous henchmen on the 1990 Takara/Sunrise co-production Brave Exkaiser. In what might be called a vision of things to come, the four were once briefly fused into a single robot called "Mad Geister" (マッドガイスター Maddo Gaisutā). However, because each Geister controlled a portion of the combined body—and they had the accumulated brain power of a Froot Loop—this ended rather badly for them. In a more successful (if not also prescient) later development, the Geisters learned to merge in groups of two, with Ptera Geist and Thunder Geist forming the centaur-esque "Pteder" (プテダー Putedā) and Horn Geist and Armor Geist forming "Hormor" (ホーマー Hōmā).
