Season one[]
The Dinobot leaving the mine.
One time, Sonic, Bunnie and Chuck planned to take over the Dinobot in the Crystal Mine and use it to stop Dr. Robotnik's forces before they could extract a massive Energy Crystal from the Crystal Mine. After the Dinobot revealed itself, the heroes jumped onto its head. In response, the Dinobot hit the ground with its head, knocking Chuck off of it. The Dinobot then gobbled up Chuck, but he survived and infiltrated its insides. Sonic and Bunnie later fell into the Dinobot's mouth as a result of another bump into the ground with its head. The Dinobot then began to close its mouth, but Sonic and Bunnie tried to keep it open. Using her robotic strength, Bunnie managed to lock up the Dinobot's mouth and keep it open, thus allowing Sonic and Bunnie to head inside of it. At the Dinobot's control panel, Bunnie helped Chuck move the lever that turned off the robot. Once Chuck had hacked the Dinobot's computer, Bunnie started it up again. The heroes proceeded to used the Dinobot to get closer to the Energy Crystal. Along the way, the Swat-Bots began to shoot ropes with hooks at the Dinobot in an effort to tie it down. With the Dinobot restrained, Sonic, Chuck and Bunnie fired its laser at the Energy Crystal as it was being extracted, but the crystal absorbed the energy from the shot. As such, they decided to direct the Dinobot's fire at the ropes holding up the Energy Crystal instead. This caused the Energy Crystal to fall back into the mine and shatter. With the extraction of the crystal stopped, the Dinobot was overpowered by the Swat-Bots' ropes. However, Sonic, Bunnie and Chuck managed to leave the Dinobot and escape from the mine.[1]
