[edit] Beast Machines
Rapticon was one of three Dinobots to follow the original five unit group of Dinobots.
Like Dinotron, Rapticon mostly closely resembles his precursor, the Dinobot clone, in form and weaponry. The Rapticon toy was part of the Dinobots faction of Beast Machines which featured no new molds but did release molds previously unseen in America. He was a recolor of the Beast Wars transmetal II Dinobot clone.
Although the Dinobots' intro states that the Dinobots received their beast modes through the slicing of Dinobot's DNA, it is possible that the Oracle also used the fossil chamber (seen in the Beast Machine series) to utilize velociraptor DNA.
Rapticon does not appear to be a homage to any of the original Dinobots team in name or form. He seems instead to be a direct homage to the Maximal character Dinobot instead.
[edit] 3H Enterprises
Rapticon's only appearance in Transformers fiction was in the Transformers: Universe - Wreckers comic series.
