In some continuities, before they arrive on Earth, they are known as the Dynobots. The Dinobots are an Autobot subgroup in Generation One continuity family.

The life and prosperity of the Heian Japanese people was based on how well the Emperor was viewed to have governed and behaved. The Emperor was expected to attend many different ceremonies both religious and secular in nature. The Emperor of Heian Kyo was more of just a figurehead in Heian Japan, as the Fujiwara family made the governmental decisions that normally would be done by the Emperor.
