I strongly disagree with the tip that was talking about the purposes of the diplo and bronto.
First of all, the diplo is already kind of redundant and people take pity on it because of that.
Second of all, the bronto is already very overrated and is not a portable base or an attacker due to movement speed, size, and stamina.
Third, the diplo is NOT a mobile vault because there are storage chests for that and a dinos purpose is not to just be left there as a vault. It is not a gallimus hybrid because if you want to tame a gallimus, go ahead. Also, the diplo is not even half as fast as a galliminus.
Lastly, the bronto has way more advantages of a diplo, not just having an area damage attack and a platform saddle, and the diplo is just left there as a tanky knockback dino that is not even that fast.
I guess you didn't know the definition of a tame, to be useful to people.

Everyone saying the Diplo needs a tail whip attack and platform saddle, seriously if you want that get a bronto, the Diplo has its purpose and so does the bronto, making one into the other makes one redundant and totally useless. Brontos are attackers and portable bases, diplos are a hybrid of speed and capacity, no one would complain about a gallimimus that can carry eleven people and still have space to spare for three tonnes of cargo, but they do complain about a Diplo which is essentially that in terms of functionality.
Not as useless as you might think! A high-level spino was terrorizing a nearby river. I took my diplo (Dylan) and while the spino was focused on killing Dylan, I was using my crossbow and rifle to do damage to it. Spino ended up dead, while Dylan was at 2000 out of 3000 health, and I was not injured at all.

These are INCREDIBLY useful tames to have in mobile, and here’s why:
In Raids; In mobile, we don’t have cryopods. Due to this, turret soaking becomes a problem, in that it’s difficult and takes time to get all tames you need to soak to the enemy base. These guys are very fast, very easy to tame, and are tanky health-sinks even at low levels; making them the PERFECT soakers in mobile. need more? Go get some balm and mejoberries, and you’ve got your replacement in under 12 minutes.
Used as a construction tool, they’re the same size as a bronto, meaning you can easily build tall structures & tree platform bases using his sheer height. He has a lot of weight as well, meaning if you have an enormous amount of metal walls/pillars/ what have you, he can hold it for you.
Used for transportation, the same is true; he has SO MUCH WEIGHT! And he’s very fast, with 10 seats in his saddle. If you need to move base, he’s your man.
That’s my Ted talk, up for noobs to see.
