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.3H Enterprises
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's only appearance in Transformers fiction was in the Transformers: Universe - Wreckers comic series.
Transformers: Universe - Wreckers #1 contains a story called "Departure". The Wreckers, Mutants and Dinobots arrive on Cybertron and are sent on missions by the Oracle.
Transformers: Universe - Wreckers #2 contains a story called "Betrayal" - the Dinobots are attacked by the Dweller.
