“I am a warrior. Let the battle be joined.” Such heroic words.

"So what's a warrior without weapons, eh?" "A WARRIOR STILL!" ✍🔥🔥🔥

“Tell those my story. The ill deeds and the good. Let me be judged accordingly.” That’s……a good thing to say.

It took me years to realize, Dinobot knew damn well he wasn't coming out of that alive, and didn't give a shit. He had, quite possibly, the biggest set of balls of any transformer

I'm 37 years old, and this scene still goes too hard. Got me tearing up and everything.

Without dinobot's interference, we wouldn't have existed in the first place. This battle was a million years ago.

I think no other piece of Transformers media could top Code Of Hero, never has a single episode of a cartoon impacted me so heavily. Dinobot’s sacrifice to prevent the destruction of a future species, taking on the Predacon army, and confronting his former master to honour his strict moral code is profound, especially for a kids show. The moment when his spark rises out of his chest reminded me a lot of the scene where Optimus lifts the matrix from his dying self and hands it to Ultra Magnus, both moments of beauty that make me tear up a little.

"The question that once haunted my being's been answered. The future is NOT fixed, and my choices are my own. And yet... how ironic. For I now find... I have no choice at all..." *takes a deep breath* "I am a warrior. Let the battle be joined."

This scene always makes me cry. Dinobot had a strong code of honor, was the toughest of them all, handled the entire Predacons, and gave his spark for the humans.....and his speech before he goes offline always hits me. 😭

Whenever I lose someone, I always remember these words "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."

I was a bike messenger when this aired. Mid(?) 20’s, super stoked on a Saturday when Beast Wars came on. My buddies and I had some breakfast, rode back to my place, got super stoned and turned on BW. I pumped my fist when the opening scene was Dinobot’s spinning sword. “HELL YEAH!! A Dinobot episode!!” Absolutely, hands down favorite character. By the end of the episode there I was, a college graduate, baked outta my head, and was sitting there, mouth open, tears rolling down my cheeks whispering “no no no no no no…..” Was glad I had my friends there who (surprisingly) didn’t make fun of me for being heartbroken by a cartoon, but put their hands on my shoulders and just sat there with me for a few. He truly lived a warrior and died a hero. Damn scene still gets me. RIP Dinobot. Badass Bushido bot.

Over 20 years later and it still hits me just has hard.

Optimus Primal: He lived a Warrior.......& died a Hero. Let his Spark join the Matrix....the greatest of Cybertron. Well said Optimus.......very well said......Rest In Peace Dinobot

The absolute Apex of the entire series, of the entire franchise, of the entire name Transformers. Only G1 Prime's death comes close to this one.

Died with honor. Not once, but twice. Dinobot was simply awesome.

Poetic how Dinobot fought like a human would in their last stand, to save humans. Bleeding, injured beyond recovery, no chance of survival, but still pushed forward and fought. Lost his weapons and improvised to win.

5:18 This scream is incredible. Along with the speech, it just ties the whole thing together. Props to Scott McNeil.

that "OVERRIDE" hurts so much knowing that dinobot did had a way to save himself but like a boss, said OVERRIDE.

Never noticed this until now but in the shot where Dinobot is on the funeral pyre, you can see that Rattrap is no longer a transmetal. He's in his default form.

Dinobot was my favorite character from Beast wars He will never be forgotten.

Alternative title: Dinobot proving he's the best for 6 minutes, then making you cry and salute for 2

Dinobot was a true warrior, great hero, and a good friend. May you rest in peace Dinobot.

He beat every predacon, he beat megatron's ass critically injured, still managed to destroy the golden disc, saved humanity and he is still okay with Rattrap trash talking him. I love you Dinobot

"The question which once haunted my being has been answered. The future is not fixed, and my choices are my own... and yet, how ironic! For I now find, I have no choice at all! I am warrior... let the battle be joined."

“Hey corporate needs you to kill off Dinobot so we can make room on the team for new toys” “Give Dinobot the greatest last stand in media, got it”

He died in the most bad ass way ever love it.

"Tell my tale, of the evil I have done and the good... let me be judged accordingly. And the rest is silence.:

-What is a warrior without weapons? -A warrior still.

This whole sequence of scenes - the episode - I follow very specific rules. I do not pause; I do not skip; I do not look away; and I remain thankful I saw this on its original air date, and again as platforms allow. This is peak storytelling.

A true cybertronian, may he rest with the all park. Where all honorable warriors like him may reside in.

His final words Stuck with me till this very day.

If you didn't cry at Dinobot's final moments, you have no soul. Even to this day, his last stand to protect the future of humanity makes me tear up. Leave it to Megatron to dishonor Dinobot's noble sacrifice and bring him back as a Transmetal 2 Predacon. Only someone as heartless and as vile as Megatron would do it.

Even when he was a predacon he was a maximal at heart. It’s a shame that starscream from the g1 transformers didn’t learn from his mistakes which gives me more respect to the armada starscream

His final words and the sound when he shuts down.... heartbreaking.

Rest In Peace Dinobot

Let’s not even talk about at the very beginning of this episode, Dinobot was actually thinking about committing suicide. He believed he lost his honor and as a consequence, believed he didn’t deserve to live, until he decided he should.

I remember the first time I saw this, looking at Dinobot, sword in hand with the sun setting at his back and realizing that he was about to die.

It just shows Dinobot represents the positve traits of being a Predacon while later embracing the noble values of a Maximal, whereass Beast Megatron was a Predacon, but was even more a Decepticon in nature than even the orginal Megatron ever was, who in many ways had more in common with Dinobot (minus the Honor, whereass Megatron valued victory at every cost), while Beast Megatron had more in common with Starscream (minus the cowardice as well being more successful at his plans than the Air Commander). This is more of the Predacon honor combating the Decepticon's past and nature.

The year is 2023,and this STILL makes me cry

This is my BEST tv memory from childhood. Him ravaging every oredacon singlehandedly, what a big difference it made, the singular goal of the disk, his honor. The hypest thing ever.

I remember seeing this on TV in the 90s....still hits home as it did back then 😢

Dinobot was one of the most controversial souls you could imagine in reality, but his actions proved that despite being an imperfect individual, you can prove you're perfect at heart.

I love the "tell my tale truly" part. Good stuff

I haven’t felt this sad in Transformers since Armada Starscream’s death, showing how the Warrior over came the Soldier, till the bitter end

Dinobot shaped me. My concept of honor and the code of a warrior were defined by him. I've rewatched this so many times that I've lost counts. My code of honor will be forever defined by this show

Fun fact. The infamous Ocean Dub voice cast lent their voices for this absolute gem of a show. Dinobot is voiced by non other than Canadian voice actor Scott McNeil aka Piccolo. Especially that scream/roar he did. Which is exactly the same pitch for the opening scene of Piccolo screaming to destroy a rock formation in Pioneer's DBZ Movie 1 The Dead Zone/Return My Gohan. Piccolo (Scott McNeil) also voiced The Vulture in Spiderman Unlimited and he also voiced Logan in X-Men Evolution and Dr. Wiley from Mega Man TAS. Megatron is voiced by Captain Ginyu. Black Aracnid is voiced by Frieza. Cheetah is voiced by Goku, who funny enough also voiced Mega Man The Animated Series. Another fun fact at 2:10 you can hear the ambiance background soundtrack which is a slightly modified version of the one between King Willie vs The City Predator in 1990's The Predator 2.

I feel like I’m watching the death of Optimus prime all over again

Till all are one, Dinobot

He lived and died as a Warrior but lives on as a Legend

Dinobot was more than just a villain turned hero: He was Megatron's right hand and was therefor second only to him. The most badass warrior, the best written character in the entire show (Shakespeare would've been proud despite Beastwars beeing a kids show) and not only did he accept his fate in the end, he faced his end like a champ. I can't remember a single maximal who defeated the entire predacon force all by himself (including Rampage) and this episode proved that Dinobot was, is and allways will be the greatest hero in the entire show.

this still makes me tear up, good to know im not cold and dead inside yet! thanks for opploading it here :)

Yo I cried my eyes out as a kid when I watched this. Especially seeing him and Rat Trap show that they actually did respect each other. I couldn't talk about it the next day at school because I was scared I'd cry again 🤣 this was such a good episode.

Megatron: "One lonely turncoat, battling all against impossible odds. I'm almost touched. Fortunately such moments pass quickly". That's exactly what i've always liked about Beast Wars: even at its most serious moments, it never takes itself too seriously :)

Only 2 bits of animation have made me emotional. This scene and when the Flash gives Batman the note from his dad .

I'm 35 now and this still destroys me.

6:52 I love how Rattrap was ready to snark back but decided to let Dinobot have the final insult

I know people are gonna give me scrap for this but I always felt dinobot was like the better starscream we needed

One of most touching scene of all brand! It's equal to Prime's Death in G1 movie for feelings...

Great character development Dinobot started out as a predacon who wanted on revenge on megatron and frankly who can blame him (even rattrap couldn’t blame him) and then he had compassion for his new maximal friends especially optimus and the humans. In the series finale he never lost sight of who he was even as a transmittal predacon.

May his spark be the first to truly EARN its place in the hall of fame

Rattrap was bickering with Dinobot the whole time yet he's the one to salute the fallen warrior first. A true brother in arms.

I really can’t believe the voice actor for Megatron didn’t do much more stuff. He is always so spectacular with his performance. Reboot learned the key with Megabyte in Reboot that casting a great voice actor for your villain is a sure path to creating a truly memorable villain.

Man. . . I just remembered how much I freaking liked dinobot out of all of em. He carried this show for me.

Even though he was injured, he kept fighting, and that’s what makes him a great Maximal.

One last roast to the vermin before dying. Truly a warrior.

This was so sad Rattrap lost his Transmetal form at Dinobot's funeral.

This is why he will always be my favorite. His commitment to honor- to doing the right thing no matter what and trying to find what is correct regardless of the two sides. I cry every time.

I saw this episode as a kid, but missed its original air date, but saw all the others after it, so I didn't realize that he even died. I remember wondering where he was and everything. Until that season ended and the entire season started over, and i actually saw what happened. Boy! Had me crying!!

Warriors who die in battle, go straight to Valhalla.

Damn it Donobot was and will always be the most badass character of the series. I still have the game figure of him,he was my favourite.

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

Dinobot went out the way he wanted with full honour!

The parallels of Dinobot and Starscream from transformers armada are great as both of them knew they would parish in their final moments but still pushed forward

It's a cartoon, yet there aren't many shows of any kind that have an episode in their catalog that's as well written and emotionally powerful as this. Job well done

Still the greatest and most feeling death in transformer to date.

He lived a warrior,and died a hero.Let his spark join the matrix,in the greatest of cybertron

this was on ytv every morning before school...growing up in the 90's was the best

He started as a predacon but died as a hero

No one more worthier to be a Prime than Dinobot

i still cry when i watch this only other death to hit me this hard was primes back in the 86 movie

Dinobot was the most baller character on the show.

Goodbye Dinobot a good soldier, friend and hero...😢🫡

Such a badass scene. Gives me chills every time. I'm so happy that I grew up watching this.

That scream when he uses his last drop of energy to destroy the disk gives me chills.

Rhinox is right: *That guy has bearings of chrome steel!* And he truly proved his mettle to the very end! _(salutes)_

Dinobot’s fight against the Predacons in Protohuman valley ended in a dramatic success with him taking too much damage, unable to transform (because he lost most parts of his Velociraptor form), his downfall, and worst of all… his carcass was taken away to somewhere.

Outnumbered, outclassed, outgunned, and despite being injured before hand, he still took on all the Predacons to save the Protohumans. He really is a true warrior and a hero.

"A warrior, still!" Fucking badass!!!

Dinobot and optimus prime have one thing in common they both went down fight till the end. Plus this was the best episode of the whole series this episode should have won a emmy award big time. Actually two things honor till the end as well.

"Negative! The question that once answered my being has been answered. The future is not fixed. My choices are my own, and yet... *realises his own code of honour will not allow him to do anything other than fight for the defenceless* how ironic... for I now find I have no choice, no choice at all... *sighs accepting his 'fate'* I am a warrior. Let the battle be joined."

@ 3:02 I love the way the computer emphasizes LOSS OF SPARK!

The greatest scene in cartoon history 😢

This will forever be in my memory... I can still remember the dialogue of this scene from the first time I watched it on television when it first aired yearrrssssss ago. Legendary is all that is.

Dinobot held the future in his hands. So he dared. He dared to keep all of his dreams alive. He took a stand. And he won because he dared.

The greatest ever written character in Transformers, hands down.

Even after 20 years Dinobot's legacy lives on!

The atmosphere of this episode is flawless, and the tone is set as soon as Tarantulas gets that cheap shot on Dinobot. You immediately notice he has a visible hole in his chest, and his helmet is scratched. In this show, they ONLY show visible damage if it matters, and the big battle hadn't even started yet. Great foreshadowing. This really was the best episode of the show.

"Till all are one" our favorite character dinobot

"Tell my tale to those that ask... tell it truly. The evil deeds along with the good, and may be judged accordingly... the rest... is silence" Best last words of a character ever.

Compared to the netflix end of Dinobot, this is BADASS!
