  • He went extinct for our sins.

  • stands up and salutes~

    that flyover by cheetor optimus and silverbolt was a nice touch :)

  • and it was here that I began my obsession with honor and fighting for what you believe in

    and they say you learn nothing from cartoons

  • what television show nowadays would use a hamlet reference like that?

  • Ok, let me see if I can start a good old flame war here...

    Dinobot's Death Speech vs. Roy Batty's "time to die" speech

    Discuss.

  • @gonotgentleman Who is Roy Batty?

  • @TheDoctorofOdoIsland The antagonist from the movie Blade Runner. His death speech is fairly poetic as a contrast to the villainous role that he plays for most of the movie.

    Check it out, I'm sure it's on youtube somewhere.

  • You know somebody is true hero when Primal almost sheds a tear for them

  • I played Hamlet at my college, and I'm not ashamed to say I was so happy to have DINOBOT's last words hahaha

  • So I was reading Hamlet for my English class and I nearly exploded with delight when I realized Dinobot's last words at 2:08 are nearly the exact same as Hamlet's in Act 5 Scene 2. Now I need to grab tissues to wipe my tears, and change my pants.

  • Dinobot was amazing. He was the best written character on Beast Wars.His character actually has a story arc. And thats pretty fucking awesome. He was also by far my favorite of the show. Kudos to Scott Mcneil for doing such amazing voice work on Dinobot.

  • @Jet134 Yeah and then when the crew is laughing, Scott McNeil said "Do you mind?! I'm trying to die here!". :)

  • What season was this?

  • This was really hard for me to see, Dinobot was my favorite Transformer.

  • Rattrap is Duo from Gundam Wing!!!!

  • @boojan58 Uh sir I hate to interrupt but when Dinobot is dying the audience laughs and did Scott McNeil say "Do you mind?! I'm trying to die here!" ?

  • Comment removed

  • dat hamlet

  • a death right up there with the death of Optimus Prime

    

  • @TheEmanExperience Well, everyone's gonna cry about Dinobot. I'm going to cry for him. But Demolisher is NOT going cry for him because he wouldn't.

  • How did Rat Trap revert back from transmetal to his first mode for the cremation ceremony?

  • @hellfireleo I don't know. But Dinobot said "Improvise"? More like when Arcee said to Starscream "This is for Cliffjumper" from "Transformers Prime" "Partners".

  • This episode invokes more emotion than I ever thought possible to come from a show.

  • Lol... cheetor comes in just pissing all over the forest. Show some damn respect kid-- a HERO died there : /

  • Dinobot was and forever will be.. a badass :')

  • So close! I was so.....CLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!!!!­!

  • @MazBringsby Predacons, retreat!

  • I hated and loved this episode all at the same time. I hate it because Dinobot was always my favourite character and seeing him dead made me feel so mad and upset but the episode itself really highlights his character and I love it as well. Thanks for the post.

  • @kat543 I'm like saying in the Armada episode sacrifice "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOO!"

  • You lived like a warrior ans died to an hero.

    *cry manly tears, WITH HONOR!*

  • Im crying! :'( Fare well DinoFuck Sorry I ment DinoBot.

  • @NextDudes What the hell did you just say punk?!

  • @cameronjr8 DinoBot? O_=

  • @NextDudes O h sorry sir. But hey, I am so in love with Dinobot. :x

  • @cameronjr8 Its ok you with your sex live with dinobot ;) LOL this dude gonna go hard on me well i think xD But oh well xD

  • Comment removed

  • i am a grown man with a PhD in chemistry; i almost cried the first time I saw that scene

    Episode series; Epic episode

  • play "the parting glass" after you see this and TRY to tell me you didnt cry.

  • @sunbabybull Till All Are One!!!

  • @sunbabybull Agreed.

  • 8 Predicons have watched this video. Sparkless glitches...

  • This looks sadder than The Death of Leomon in the Digimon Tamers episode "Lionheart".

  • Always brings tears to my eyes such poetry

  • Holy shit, I watched this as a kid? :D

  • after i saw this as a kid, i cried. good bye dinobot, you are missed

  • I just got the seasons 2+3 dvds. Played Gears of War 3 at a friend's and watched Dom die, and the next day saw this episode (I've been watching them all in order and it just happened to be the one I was to watch next)... Suffice to say that coupled with thoughts on the falling out I had a month ago with someone who was like a brother, now mere acquaintance, plus catching only 4 hours or less of sleep every night for the last 4 days, I was depressed for like 2 days.

  • I wish that I could watch all of Beast War when I was a kid ..... I just finished this show 3 months ago . My childhood would be better if that happend

  • This show got some balls, killing off characters such as Tigertron, Air-Razor, Dinobot, Depth Charge.

  • Maybe they should have played that BGM from Optimus Prime's death in Transformers the movie for this

  • no matter how old i am, no matter how many time i see this, i still cry.

  • this actually made me cry when i was a kid

  • Dinobot went out like a Hero

  • @ishimorikuma even the episode is called "Code of HERO" -__-

  • Oh man. I just finished watching the series. (Downloaded it) When Dinobot died. I'm not going to lie I was holding in tears. SO much shit goes down in season 2 and 3. And when Dinobot comes back as a Transmetal I was jacked! <3

  • he takes on all the predacons and then quotes shakspeare. what a badass.

  • He lived a warrior....and died a hero. Let his spark join the Matrix, the greatest of Cybertron.

  • :'( R.I.P. Dinobot

  • dinobot was one of my childhood heros D:

  • I love the fact that even though Rattrap and Dinobot hated each other; they shared a special friendship. The worked together as a unit even though he sat on rattrap and rode him like a bike a few time times cause he had wheels!

    Rattrap held his had until he was gone and was the first to salute his death! Enemies in the beginning, but a best friend in the end!

  • i'm in my early 20s and i still cry at seeing this like i did the first time :_(

  • The music at the ceremony just kills me...

  • Traducao: "As palavras desse roedor exalam o cheiro da verdade. O destino prepara um grande teste para todos nós. O meu já terá chegado? Terei sido reprovado? Um ato cometido não poderá ser desfeito, mas talvez possa ser... suavizado." e "Contem minha história aos que perguntarem. Mas conte -a toda, tanto os momentos vergonhosos quanto os de glória... Que eu seja julgado de acordo. O resto... é silêncio."

  • Everyone loved Dinobot because he was a "reformed villain". It's always inspiring in a character. It means he's good, but not "too" good. ;D

  • Pfffft nerds...

  • After all these years Dinobots death still gets me

  • This is so far my top favorite transformers series, it's funny, awesome, epic, dark, and so much more. This is by far one of the best episodes I have ever seen. Dinobot risked his life for what was right, which made me proud and sad, since he was a brave warrior, we will miss you Dinobot

  • Dinobot for a former Predacon you had a great sense of honour may your spark rest in peace

  • dont get me wrong i love G1 and basically all the other transformers but beast wars was always my favourite and dinobot was always my favourite i remember being 4 or 5 years old and watchign this episode and crying for weeks everytime i thought about it

  • Not gonna cry, not gonna cry...

    Rhaaaa, damn it, bastards !

  • they dont make moments like these anymore. kids these days have some fucked up shows they watchm where everything is carefully strung out as to not damage a child "emotionally." Like if your a 90s kids, the best decade of the century, where moments like this are what made your childhood so great.

  • Dinobot was the best maximal and this was probaly the only show on tv that made me cry hard:( why did have to be dinobot!!!! WHY

  • Mainframe Entertainment was the king in the 90's. It may be gone now, but the shows it created, and the passion and effort it put into those shows is unsurpassed by most children's entertainment today. Sure, kid's shows SHOULD be kid's shows, but moments like this don't ruin it for the kids it bonds us to the show and makes an impact on us that will last through our lives. Kudos the the actors too because their inflection and tone were perfect. Just like the Vizier's death in S.R.

  • I think Rhinox put it best: "When a spark goes online, there is great joy. When one is extinguished, the universe weeps."

  • @BukkakeSniper I was weeping from that when I was a child, Dinobot was my icon and still is, when I saw him goes offline, I stood up and saluted him for his honor

  • @anubiswolfang As did I. He was a god damn hero.

  • @anubiswolfang Thumbs up if you also stood up and saluted in his honour.

  • @TrevelyanL85A2 He lived his life as a warrior and died as a hero. Let his soul walk the fields of elysium. He was the greatest of humanity's guardians.

  • @TrevelyanL85A2 I was 13 when my dad died and left me and my twin sister behind. At his funeral I could hear this song playing in my head, so Dom (my twin) and I stood in front of the coffin and saluted with tears falling from our eyes.

  • @TrevelyanL85A2 Every...Freaking...Time!

  • Shit!! I was 19 when this came on. A hard lost brings tears to my eyes. Dinobot was the truth and he represents a true warrior to a cause he didn't even believe in. But he was loyal to his comrades and that is what its about.

  • When I was a kid, I was so depressed after this episode I never watched the show again. :(

  • This scene is not simply watched...it is felt, and experienced. It has the magical ability to only be more powerful, tragic, and incredible to me each time. The first time, I waited...staring and hoping, even when he blasted the disk and fell, that he would somehow come out of this situation despite his failing power. When Rattrap zooms to him and gasps, I knew but didn't want to accept it. Of the moments before he finally passed, I'd say the one that hit me hardest was Optimus' first comment*

  • @TheAlienMind777 * "Well fought, my friend..." It was the perfect inflection and softness to his voice that really got me. Dinobot has, finally and ultimately, here at his end, earned the top level of respect from his entire team. The following funeral scene was pure perfection...I will admit, I took a trip to the waterworks. I can't help but shake my head and chuckle (sadly of course), though. The writers knew this scene would place Dinobot at the top without question, despite that he was gone.

  • I was seven years old when I first saw this. When I say I cried watching this episode I mean I CRIED. I balled my eyes out for at least a good half an hour until I was too exhausted to continue. The most traumatizing experience I ever had watching something on TV ha ha.

  • The only other Transformer death that comes close to this one is Transmutate's death later on.

  • "Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good. And let me be judged accordingly. The rest is.... silence." CLASSIC!

  • O

    ne Thing I do not understand is how those wounds were fatal when we've seen many other transformers in the series suffer worse in the series hell in the battle proceeding this scene Inferno was decapitated and survived on a side note I saluted Dinobot when he died

  • @Spystreak

    I'm guessing that it wasn't because of the damage he took but how much energy he had to expend while doing it.

  • @Spystreak Wounds on a robot don't work like wounds on a person. You can take a computer apart, then put it back together, and it'll still work fine. But if the motherboard fails, your screwed. Yet a taken apart computer looks "worst" than a computer with a failed motherboard. Even on a person, an invisible, internal wound can be far more deadly than an external wound (although obviously decapitation is worst than both for us)

  • Dinobot was interesting because he was always searching for meaning. He was always skeptical of the Maximals altruism, yet as someone who valued honor he never bought into the Predacons deceptive and destructive ways either. He never truly fit into either camp. Yet there came a moment when he absolutely had to choose what he wanted to be, and he chose to be a maximal and save history. This is my favorite transformers story.

  • please dont compare beast wars to star treck.....

  • Why did they think dinobot should've died? he was such a great foil to the maximals who were all "good", with the exception of black arachnia eventually joining them

  • @Filipjphry It's even more meaningful that he did die, though. I think it adds a nice tragic element to his character.

  • When I think back to Transformers, people would expect me to think of Optimus or Bumble Bee or Megatron......... no sir. Dinobot pretty much sums up the entire franchise for me..... and im'ma keep it at that!

  • @rkmugen His death... hell that entire episode made him my favorite Transformer of all time. It was sad, but it made his history and his acts more meaningful to see him die at the end. Too bad they brought him back the next season as a transmetal.

  • @allthingsuno I actually liked his return but wished they would've had more time to develop it with another Beast Wars season rather than go right into Beast Machines. But even then, I would've rather had any form of Dinobot, even Transmetal Dinobot, survive and continue on into Beast Machines rather than to have no Dinobot at all.

  • its just odd hw they managed to create better 3d craphic serie than they did whit energon and cybertron.

  • Dinobot was, is and will always be my favourite beast wars character

  • Action Blast...was this recorded on G4 when they had this block back in 06??

  • Didn't dinobot come back at some point?

  • Jesus died to seliver us from sin

    Dinobot died to SAVE THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!

  • This still gets me a little teary eyed when I see it.

  • R.I.P dinobot let the soul of the warrior guide you

    i cried at this part by the way

  • I still remember crying my eyes out when this episode was over it really was one of the sadiest moments in Transformers history and still bring a tear to anyone's eye.

  • Only one thing missing from this clip. The ending of the episode where the Early Human used Dinobot's weapon as a tool and to defend himself. Showing that Dinobot was the one that showed humans what it means to have Honour and Kick some ass while doing it!

    All the while, his spark shines down on us from the stars.

  • 8 people don't know the slightest meaning of the words sacrifice and honor!

  • Among ALL the 'series' friendships I've seen through years, there's no oher I remember having liked as much as Dinobot and Rattrap's. These two admired and respected each other in a way that's just so unique, I'm pretty certain that Rattrap considered, and loved, Dinobot like a big brother.

  • @elitadream IMO Rattrap respected, liked and even admired Dinobot, but I'm sure Rattrap didn't treat him like a older bro.

  • let me be judged accordingly....that's all anyone can ask

  • Rest in Peace Dinobot, Greatest Warrior of Cybertron, with the Spark of a Poet. May you be remembered forever and Ever through time and Space for your Noble Sacrifice.

  • Just finished watching my seasons over again and I agree his death was by far the most heartfelt out of them all. Every time I watch this I still get teary eyed because it brings back the feelings I had for the show when I was younger. Awesome character and i really wish they would of made that one episode "Dark Glass" because that would of made me feel a little something more for the TransMetal 2 Dinobot before the final episodes. Awesome character and show!

  • I don't care how many times I watch this episode, it still makes me tear up. This was by far the best episode of the whole programme.

  • mother fucker, all these years, its been 13 years and it still gets me

  • I remember when I first saw Dinobot's death as a kid. I always thought he was such a jerk, but he died with honor. It really tore me up for like a week.

  • This was the saddest moment of my childhood. I can't even watch it now without shedding a tear.

  • @jasonsaab meh i've seen sadder you must be a girl boys dont shed tears from a cartoon

  • he was my fav i wish he reternd in beast matiens

  • Beast Wars wasn't the same when Dinobot went offline because I missed him arguing with Rat Trap.

  • its incredible that after all these years, a kid's show could generate this kind of emotion in people. it shows how great this show really was for those few seasons.

  • Dinobot is like Beast War's version of Vegeta (Dragonball Z)

    R.I.P. Dinobot: my favorite maximal :(

  • @MistofWonder445 Funny fact - Dinobot's voice actor was the same guy who voiced Piccolo in the original 1996 English Dub of DBZ

  • does anyone know where i can get the song from this episode?

  • @Termina88 GO to this link youtube.com/watch?v=KKjzD91txI­U then make sure you have youtube

    downloader then convert the video to music.

  • i liked how at the end of the Beast Wars,Transmetal 2 Dinobot regained some of the original Dinobot's memories

    it was great because even in death,Dinobot saved the world

  • If I live to be 100 I will still cry like a little kid every time I watch this.

  • Dinobot wasnt even a transmetal yet he KILLED OFF like 5 preds. NONE had ever been killed off in the show until then. Yeah one on one, Dinobot would FUCK UP Negatron.

  • Beast wars was really great but it just Wasn't the same after dinobot died :(

  • @rootbeer3651 I agree. It wasn't the same. Just like Star Trek for that short time while Spock was dead. The missing byplay between him and Macoy... But at least there they didn't leave you with no chance for it to get restored. The trans-metal clone never lived up to Dinobot's character not honor until the end when it too died.

  • @rootbeer3651 uhhhh it becomes the same after depthcharge comes in..... In my opinion. he was my 2nd fav character after dinobot

  • The strongest of them all... wasn't even a transmetal. RIP Dinobot

  • This is just as, if not, more sad than When Optimus Prime died.

  • @ShadowRatchet92 I agree. But I cried more often on this one. Its got the entire animation working while Prime dieing in the movie hurt when I watch again it has less impact. Its kinda like re-watching Empire Strikes Back. You just don't take Vader's statement of being Luke's father the same way the second time.

  • @Spokavriel ive heard that before somewhere.....

  • Optimus Primal: "He lived a warrior and died a hero. May his Spark join the Matrix with the greatest of Cybertron.

  • in the end, dinobot was a real maximal :)

  • Ahhh Dinobot... my first tv character death... wait no, actually that was zordon from power rangers, however this was my first emotional death, and for that I sall always become sad when thinking or watching this scene

  • Raptrap's facial expression when he saw Dinobot was hilarious

  • Code of Hero is the best episode of BW. The best episode of the Transformer franchise. And has one of the Greatest deaths in the Entire Transformer Mythos.

    Personally, Best Sci-Fi Episode ever and BEST DEATH EVER.

  • wat did dinobot say to ratrap?

  • @wantonmee23 "upwind of you for preference vermin" basically saying he agrees that it is nice to know where he stands so that he doesn't have to smell him.

  • @Spokavriel Well I may be quite wrong but... I understand it in oter way: that while you stand upwind of somenone, you actually can smell him? As far as I know hunters try to stalk prey upwind. So Dinobot says that he wants to smell ;) Rattrap finally admitting that he likes him. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Anyway Dinobot is one of the best fictional characters ever!

    We, humans owe you a great debt Dinobot! I am sure you were granted a seat in Silicon Vallhalla!!!

  • After knowing the franchise for as long as I have and after seeing the original show's many incarnations/spin-offs, THIS is the only scene out of everything I've witnessed that stayed and continues to stay with me.

    .

    .

    .

    Well.... this and that time when Dinobot shuddered in disgust of having to ride on Rattrap's back (in beast mode) while shooting a mounted submachine gun. And the time Dinobot totally freaked out when he was blind and had to take directions from Rhinox.

  • This is back when people put THOUGHT AND EFFORT into cartoons and tv shows. That's why it's such a good scene....

  • 6 people have no soul. :'(

  • @kirkyboipopoversion2 I think its possible to dislike this and still have a soul. After all some people don't like situations where they show emotions.

  • @Spokavriel 6 people dont have Sparks

  • @kirkyboipopoversion2 6 People disliked this....and there were 6 Predacons there....hmmmm ;)

  • @kirkyboipopoversion2 make that 7 with no souls

  • i was actually sad, really touching :(

  • Lol I swear this is the only scene of Beast Wars I can remember clearly from my child hood. Dinobot's sense of honor and porphetic outlooks was one of the better parts of this show, not to say anything else was bad. Dinobot was such a badass.

  • admit it people , we all cried

  • @casperprime WE R AMITING IT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You only live twice Dinobot...

  • 3:20

    Missing Man Formation.  ;_;

    Well played, Mainframe Entertainment.

  • @Goatmon thats the part that got me all teary eyed, the missing man formation, mainframe did good on that part

  • I love how they quote Hamlet.

  • this scene is so awesome and sad...........and to think it started with a stick with a rock all the way to nuclear weapons thanks dinobot

  • Like I said you guys posting comments are just a bunch of blasted slag spouting saurains,but it's nice to know where you Transformer fans stand.Semper Fi.

  • then who was that white dinobot??

  • @oyametalicus Unless I'm mistaking the one you mean it was a Clone with half the immortal spark in it.

  • @Spokavriel ohh, so he's a clone

  • @Spokavriel i agree it was a clone of Dinbot with the immortal spark of rampage

  • @oyametalicus Dinobot II

  • @oyametalicus it was Dinobot created using half of Rampages immortal spark in a protoform, the result: Dinobot 2.0

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo That doesn't appear to have any relation to this series specifically... I'd be surprised if allot of people have any clue as to how the sides of that argument splits. I see that more on the toys than anything else and its confusing to me why you made that comment here.

  • We have 5 decepticon

  • I remembering watching this when I was a kid in middle school, it was insane becuase I didn't Think Dinobot was going to die. One of the greatest cartoon ep of all time, RIP DINOBOT!

  • it sucks how nobody even mentions the name "Dinobot" in beast machines..

    beast machines would have gotten a shitload of rep if they wrote dinobot in

  • BethXCooper Dinobot as a character had his end. And a Clone transmetal version also had a respectable end before they ended Beasties/Beast Wars. There was no way to bring him back yet again that would make any sense until the finale of Beast Machines where so many Autobots are apparently coming alive. But it would also still be more of a stretch than Waspinator's survival going through time the long way. Dinobot died definitively more than once.

  • @bethXcooper As I recall, when Beast Machines finished, there were plans to continue the saga with 'Transtech,' a series that would have brought back maximals and predacons, as well as autobots and decepticons, for another series. Dinobot was rumored to be one of those intended to be brought back.

    Unfortunately, they scrapped the idea in favor of bringing 'Carbots' or something to America.

  • @bethXcooper Ahhhh no, I think it is best that the best character of Beast Wars was not anywhere fucking near Beast Machines.

    That show was an atrocity.

  • Here's something that I think they should add to the Covenant of Primus:

    "And with the last of his strength, the heroic warrior destroyed the golden disk, preventing the destruction of the race that was yet to come and stopping the evil tyrant's plans. The mighty warrior, all his strength having been spent, fell, never to rise again. Though he lived a great warrior, he died an even greater hero. For a true hero is not measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his spark."

  • @LoneWolfofAlaska I don't know what made me cry more, the video or your comment. Maybe both.

    Either way they should add something like that to the Covenant of Primus.

  • @LoneWolfofAlaska that was beautiful my friend and I agree.

  • @LoneWolfofAlaska ironically megatron transformers into t rex aka trant lizard king XD
