Saber (Fate/Crossover - Dinobot)

**Saber** (セイバー, *Seibā*) is the servant of Regina in the ??? Holy Grail War.

"*The question that has haunted my being has been answered: The future is not fixed. My choices are my own. And yet, how ironic, for I now find I have no choice at all! I am a warrior... let the battle be joined.*" - Dinobot

## Profile

### Identity

Saber's true identity is **Dinobot**, the honor-bound Predacon-turned-Maximal front-line combatant.

Dinobot was a Predacon who served under the rogue criminal Megatron, who stole the artifact, the Golden Disk that held the coordinates to Earth where the key to the Predacon's path to ultimate power lay. When the Predacon crew crash landed on what seemed to be the wrong planet, Dinobot declared Megatron inept and attempted to usurp leadership from him, only to be quickly expelled from the Predacon ranks. He join forces with the Maximals that followed them to the planet. Though an uneasy alliance, he nevertheless proved himself a valuable ally, even friend in the Beast Wars and helped to save humanity from extinction.

### Personality

Dinobot is a warrior first and foremost who lives by a code of honor akin to that of the Samurai's Bushido. Ever eager for battle, he seeks out glory through combat, be it victory or death. He is also something of a poetic individual, fond of quoting Shakespeare.

Having been a Predacon, Dinobot has a Social Darwinist view and a temperamental, even ruthless streak to him. He believes in the strong triumphing over the weak and encouraging callously pragmatic methods to defeat the Predacons.

### Relationships

#### Regina

His Master in the Holy Grail War.

Similar to his relationship with Rattrap, the two tend to be at odds with each other. While he is a warrior who actively seeks out honor through glorious battle, Regina is a soldier who simply views combat as a means to an end in service of her mission. Just like with Rattrap though, they both hold a level of begrudging respect for each other and look out for one and other.

#### Grimlock/Slash

The members of his namesake Autobot team.

He holds a great deal of respect for them, particularly Grimlock.

## Abilities

Befitting a warrior of his stature, Dinobot is a master of all forms of combat. In beast mode, Dinobot uses his teeth, claws and agility to overwhelm his prey. In robot mode he favors his spinning sword and rotor tail shield, both of which he wields with deadly precision, while his laser vision is his preferred ranged option.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Magic Resistance (D+ Rank): Invalidates exercise of magecraft by one step (Single-Action). Magic Resistance on the level of an amulet that repels magical energy.

#### Personal Skills

* Battle Continuation (A Rank): Cybertronians are naturally resilient, and Dinobot is no exception. He can endure a great deal of punishment, and as long as his spark remains intact, he can be summoned again in a new body at the cost of a Command Seal. Only the death of his Master, loss of all Command Seals, or the complete extinguishing of his spark will be able to kill Dinobot permanently.
* Transformation (B Rank): The ability to transform between robot and vehicle form at will is a fundamental aspect of the Cybertronian race. Dinobot's beast mode is that of a Dromaeosaurid.
