[edit] Description

Dinobot Island is an island from the Mesozoic Era that ended up in modern times through a temporal distortion. Upon discovering it, the Autobots under Optimus Prime decided that it would be an ideal site to be used by the Dinobots for training. At the time, the Dinobots were being disruptive and hard to control, and it was decided that the environment would be ideal for them, thus earning the island its name.

Unfortunately, Megatron discovered the existence of Dinobot Island at around the same time, and led his Decepticons in a raid to gather energy from the resource-rich environment. This resulted in temporal distortions across the planet, resulting in people and animals from the past arriving in the present. After thwarting several of these, the Autobots went to Dinobot Island in an effort to defeat the Decepticons. They were unsuccessful, and it was only when the Dinobots led a stampede of their organic brethren that the threat was ended.

Sometime later, the giant Trypticon used Dinobot Island as a resting place, recuperating from a defeat at the hands of Metroplex.
