Was their any Dinosaurs that can move around like one/both of these 2 Transformers:

Bonecrusher and/or Sideswipe

P.S. The Images have Links, as well.

Enough with the stupid spam topics already!  That's pretty much what this is.

If you want ideas on how dinosaurs moved around, I suggest turning to living species, not robots.

What is this, I don't even---
My words exactly.

Transformers and LBT wouldn't make a good crossover. Sure there were dino transformers in the tv series, but still-

You can read about how dinosaurs moved around on wikipedia if I remember right. :unsure:

Spam is posting for no reason, going off topic, etc. so your right. On Farthing Wood.net and the lbt forum started by Tropicalia, you can be banned and have your account deleted for spamming.

You might be able to read up on theories of how they moved on wiki, and other places, but it's still mostly guess work. The best models we have today for dinosaur movement is modern species, such as birds (the closest modern living relative of dinosaurs and likely a descendant).

I have heard that dinosaurs like tyrannosaurus may have had a locomotion that was like a cross between a large bird and a reptile. While it does have feet that are like a muscular version of, oh say, an ostrich's feet, we still need to add the tail into the equation as it would also effect how the animal moved around. And since there's no modern animal today with a body built like a dinosaur like tyrannosaurus, one can only speculate how they might have moved.

Some birds have long tails for balance, like a roadrunner. While it isn't a tyrannosaurus (to say the least!), it is similar to some of the smaller raptors.

What about a very large Raptor like the Megaraptor:

*tilts head* Sorry, I don't know much of Transformers and I don't really understand what your asking here....  :confused

Also, if you're asking all these questions for your fanfic stuff, why not just put up a single topic that consists of all your questions, so not to take up too much room in the forums? That way, nobody would get annoyed and you can still get your answers.  :)

I think that's a good idea. If all these questions you are asking are related to your Sharptooth Uprising story, why not just make a single topic about Sharptooth Uprising and ask questions in that topic? Is there really a need to make all these random topics?

^Its going to take a while for the admins to merge all the topics together though, that's over thirty topics.

See.

^ It would not be practicable to merge the existing threads because if they were merged it would be almost impossible to tell which message responded to which one.
But I agree JBJB1029 that it would be a lot more sensible to create a single thread for all those future posts about the that story (unless there was a good reason for a separate thread).
But you really ought to check out some of your questions before posting them. It comes across kind of strange if you post a question with the answer already included in a link :blink:

If I remember correctly, Micheal York (Pterano) was in Transformers 2. Don't know which character he played but he was. he was.
Petra is a variant of the Greek name "Petros" meaning "strong" or "rock." Andi is a variant of the Greek name "Andy" meaning "masculine" or "brave." Therefore, I am tremendously brave and strong! :lol
