Lightning Strike Coalition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lightning Strike Coalition is a faction of the Autobots lead by Grimlock in Dreamwave Productions' Transformers: The War Within comic series. Grimlock and his fellow L.S.C. members formed the faction on Cybertron millions of years ago by breaking away from the main Autobots after Optimus Prime and Megatron were lost in an accident with the space bridge. Grimlock's troops had a reputation as powerful soldiers who used hit and run tactics to cause trouble for the Decepticons and their factions and being pro-active in attacking their opponents first.

[edit] History
The L.S.C. was disbanded when the various Autobot factions were united by Ultra Magnus. Grimlock worked under Magnus but kept four of his best L.S.C. members under his direct command - Slag, Sludge, Swoop and Snarl. These troops were called the 'Dynobots'.
When the Ark disappeared on its maiden voyage, Grimlock and the Dynobots were sent on a mission to discover its fate. Landing on prehistoric Earth the five Dynobots were reformatted into the form of robotic Earth animals (dinosaurs). They were later ambushed by three Decepticons - Bombshell, Shrapnel and Kickback, and left on Earth in stasis lock until they were discovered in the 1980s and brought back online by the Autobots on the Ark. Because of their alternate modes, the Dynobots were given the name Dinobots.
