Editing Savage Land (section)

===The Transformers===
In the ''[[The Transformers (Marvel Comics)|Transformers]]'' Marvel comics continuity, shortly after the ''[[Ark (Transformers)|Ark]]'' spacecraft crashed on Earth 4 million years before the present day, the computer aboard the Ark detected [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]] landing on the prehistoric Savage Land. The ''Ark'' used the last of its capabilities to revive five [[Autobot]] warriors and rebuild them into the Dinobots, based on scans of the Savage Land's dominant lifeform: dinosaurs. The Dinobots fought Shockwave, a battle that ended in stalemate when [[Snarl (Transformers)|Snarl]] brought down the mountain that Shockwave stood upon, knocking all of them into a tar pit. They remained deactivated until the year 1984. Since the Dinobots' alt-mode forms resemble creatures that were long-extinct by 4 million years ago, the Savage Land provided author [[Bob Budiansky]] a way to explain this within the canon timeline.
