Rapticons (Earth-1984)

The Rapticons are a group of Animatronians with dromeosaurid beast modes.

Origin
The transformers who would band together to become the Rapticons were four ordinary female Animatronians who shared the same trait of having a raptor-like beast mode. They also had other shared abilities including flight, intelligence, and agility.

After the Great War that spread throughout the rest of the galaxy ended, the group set to venture into Cybertron as soon as it reestablished itself with Animatron and its other colonies, laying waste to any wrongdoers without any affiliation with Autobots or Decepticons; they especially did so if it was worth an award.
