Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur is a triassic legendary zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Brainy IconBrainy class. They cost 7BrainPvZH to play and have 6StrengthPvZH/7HeartPvZH. They have the PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye trait, and their Dino-Roar ability makes a random history zombie on a random lane.

Origins[]

Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur2

They are based on the Zombot in Plants vs. Zombies 2 with the same name and appearance.

Their description references the Zombot's ability to summon dinosaurs in Plants vs. Zombies 2, as well as being able to make the dinosaurs in this game, which are all history zombies, excluding them. The second sentence is a reference to the fact that there are four dinosaurs in this game excluding them.

Strategies[]

With[]

Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur has average stats for a card that costs 7 brains, but 6StrengthPvZH/7HeartPvZH is enough for them to live through several late-game rounds. They also have the PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye trait, allowing them to serve as a powerful PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye attacker. However, their ability is the truly interesting part. There are several strong history zombies in the game, like Mondo Bronto, Undying Pharaoh, and Knight of the Living Dead, and none of the history zombies are particularly weak, or at least completely useless (except Valkyrie who will just be like a Wall-Nut without Team-Up since her ability activates in your hand). Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur is also in the Brainy class, the class specialized in drawing cards. This means that you don't need to play as a specific hero to use Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur well; all Brainy heroes are able to do so.

Also, take note that if Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur makes a zombie on the aquatic lane, it will always be Mondo Bronto due to them being the only history zombie with the Amphibious trait.

However, Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur's ability itself is not as strong as you think. While the idea of making other Dino-Roar or strong history zombies sounds good, Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur being a late-game play renders many history zombies, and even other Dino-Roar zombies weak, as many are either early to mid-game cards or require setup for a few turns.

Their Dino-Roar ability makes zombies, which means that some zombies like Jurassic Fossilhead, Chum Champion, and Valkyrie are weak or useless. Also, unlike other Dino-Roar abilities that can activate as long as you have card draw, Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur's ability becomes much less useful, useless, or even hindering once you set up your defenses properly.

Fortunately, there are many support cards that help mitigate their cons. You can play Cryo-Brain to play Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur earlier so that the history zombies have a higher chance to survive, and bonus attack cards like Lurch for Lunch, Mustache Monument, and Gadget Scientist to put their trait to good use. Parasol Zombie protects Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur from plant tricks.

As for the other classes, the PvZH Beastly IconBeastly and PvZH Hearty IconHearty classes have boosting tricks that can improve the stats of Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur and the history zombies made, but Hearty is better at that aspect as its boosting tricks affect multiple zombies at once, and also has access to Stompadon, which can assist Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur while in your hand.

The PvZH Crazy IconCrazy class has access to Unlife of the Party which benefits from Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur's ability, and Final Mission in case you don't think the history zombie will be good in this match.

And finally, the PvZH Sneaky IconSneaky class can give Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur the PvZH Strikethrough IconStrikethrough trait to guarantee a hit to your opponent, or the PvZH Deadly IconDeadly trait to make an exchange at the very least for the few plants it cannot destroy.

Against[]

Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur's stats can be threatening. Their strength is high and the PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye trait is troublesome, especially if you cannot stop it from hitting you. The PvZH Mega-Grow IconMega-Grow and PvZH Guardian IconGuardian classes have high-health plants and moving cards to prevent Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur from hitting you, while the other classes have heavy damage, stat-degrading, or instant-kill cards that can stop them for good. As for their health, you will need to set up, because 7 health is not a low amount for most, if not all plants.

You must also beware of their Dino-Roar ability, which your opponent can easily activate due to the Brainy class' specialty in card draw. While most history zombies won't be particularly threatening by turns 7 and later, they will prevent most plants from hitting your opponent and deteriorate your defenses. You could play Dark Matter Dragonfruit, Brainana, or swarm Forget-Me-Nuts to prevent your opponent from playing tricks that draw or Conjure cards, but they can't stop your opponent from gaining cards with zombie abilities and at the start of every turn.
