Dinsmore is a human from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

No, it's not Count Olaf.

Dinsmore (born c. 1884)^[1] is Lord Chumley's somewhat addled manservant. Aged to the point of decrepitude, he has painful memories of the Boer War, and is no longer able to pour tea straight.

Dinsmore had a noted lack of enthusiasm for Lord Chumley's schemes, greeting his announcement he would hunt Optimus Prime with only a tired "oh, dear". He tried to gently dissuade Chumley from continuing, suggesting they call in early because he was bushed.

He had a black sense of humor, noting that the Decepticons were "just like the Humane Society in a way" when they spoiled Chumley's hunt, and dryly suggesting that, though Prime's value as a trophy had been ruined when he's believed dead by hands other than Chumley's, he could still be made into a nice coffee table. When Lord Chumley was contemplating how to destroy the Decepticon Triple Changers, Dinsmore gleefully suggested molten lava.

When Prime breached Chumley's castle, Dinsmore hid in the tank in the trophy room. Prime Target
