A/N: Has this been done yet? In Beast Wars Tigertron became buddies with the tiger he scanned so I figured Dinobot would totally be buddies with the raptor squad.
Also, HONOR!

Somehow, Owen was separated from Hoskins team while he followed the Indominus' trail. He'd been too caught up trying to keep pace with his raptors that he forgot about the others. His motorcycle had barely kept up with Blue while trying to tackle the greenery. It wasn't until he heard the screams and gunfire in the distance that he realized his mistake. The radio he carried crackled with static when he tried to communicate with the others.
He was on his own.
The raptors turned sharply ahead of him and he realized the Indominus might have done something to confuse trackers. They followed the sounds until they found the broken bodies of Hoskins men in a small clearing. Owen's hands gripped the handlebars of his bike trying not to heave. He did his best not to look at the blood and limbs strewn across the dirt.
Blue's bark managed to be enough of a distraction from the death surrounding them. The trees around them shifted and groaned but that could've been the wind. However, the answering chatter and snarls from Delta and Charlie was confirmation that Indominus was hidden nearby, watching. The raptors growled, eyes locked on something near the edge of the tree line.
Owen braced himself when the large head came into view. He swung the gun off his back and did his best to hide behind a red stained bush. The white snout opened to reveal dangerous, long teeth. His heart sank the moment Indominus Rex barked back at the raptors. They were communicating. Owen expected an attack the moment the raptors turned to face him. What he didn't expect was for Echo to face Indominus Rex and speak English.
Echo hissed, "I follow one Alpha and that Alpha is not you."
To say that Owen was surprised was an understatement. He was pretty sure he was in some crazy nightmare because since when could dinosaurs talk? His radio buzzed faintly when he fiddled with it again. There was a good chance no one at the communication center had heard what he heard. Who knows if they were even able to see what was happening? A snarl of contempt aimed at the white dinosaur was a little comfort. At least one of them was on his side.
Echo's words had some effect on the other raptors. Blue snapped out of whatever daze she had been under before attacking Indominus' neck. Her sisters followed, Charlie and Delta attacked the legs and Echo went straight for the eyes.
"Dinobot, Terrorize!"
Owen gaped in disbelief as he watched Echo's body began to fold and shift until a humanoid figure stood on Idominus' head. If things weren't crazy already Echo was trying to jam a spinning sword into the thick skull. A spinning sword. He had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't asleep or hallucinating from blood loss. But, no, this was really happening. The red blast of lasers shooting out of Echo's eyes caused Owen to laugh.
"Oh, come on! You got to be kidding me!"
It wasn't long before Idominus Rex fell over dead. The fresh kill kept the raptors busy except for Echo who went about cleaning off the gore from the silver blade. Owen frowned trying to remember what name Echo had called herself. Was she even a she? Echo's voice had been deep and distinctively male.
"Echo?"
Sharp clawed hands stilled and red eyes zeroed in on him. Owen had to fight his flight instincts to keep from running. He lowered the gun and stood with his hands raised to show he was unarmed.
"Should I still call you Echo?"
The humanoid huffed in annoyance, "My name is Dinobot."
Owen had to bit his tongue to keep himself from snickering at the name. Instead he frowned in thought. If something like Dinobot existed then how could it have been kept a secret with the daily tests they ran on the dinos?
"I hacked their results," Dinobot smirked, "It was the only way for me to stay hidden in the enclosure."
Owen was really getting tired of all these surprises.
"Wait, if you could do that then why didn't you just break out of the pen?"
The look Dinobot directed at him made him feel stupid. The being sighed, "Where would I go? My ship is buried in the jungle and you humans would attack me if I revealed myself. I am stranded on this planet until one of my own comes within range to answer my beacon."
"Hold up," Owen pinched the bridge of his nose, "You have a ship? Like 'it can go to outer space' ship?"
"That is correct."
Apparently his cute, deadly little raptor wasn't even a raptor. It was a freaking alien.
"But I was there when Echo was born," the raptor trainer scowled, "Or was that you? There's no way you could've just made a fourth raptor appear on the records because I am not that crazy!"
Dinobot smiled, "No, Echo was very real. She was sick and she died when I crashed on the island. The meteor debris that fell with me caused many technical problems for the humans. I was given a window of opportunity to scan the closest beast form within my perimeter before hiding my vessel. Afterwards, I took her place in the pack."
Owen scrubbed his face trying to take everything in. The only way to hide Echo's body would've been for the raptors to eat her. He felt sick but he could understand. It was the circle of life after all. Yet, it was still interesting that a shape shifting alien became family to group of deadly carnivores.
He sighed, "So, what now?"
The alien raptor rumbled, "That is for you to decide. You are the Alpha of our pack."
Dinobot's body shifted again but this time turned back into a velociraptor. The other raptors, drawn by the sound of the transformation, drew close. Charlie butted Dinobot's side in playfulness while Blue chuffed at them. Delta kept a look out, head twisting at every sound.
Owen grinned, "I'll figure something out."
