Dino-Riders	comment	The home planet of the Valorians, a peaceful race of somewhat elven telepathic humans, has been conquered by an evil race of lizard-, frog-, bug-, and fish-men called the Rulons. Four hundred Valorian survivors use an experimental Time Travel device to go back in time and escape, but they inadvertently drag a Rulon ship back with them. Stuck in prehistoric times, they fight each other by strapping lasers and BFGs to dinosaurs.Truly an awesome sight to behold.Originally airing in First-Run Syndication (as part of the Marvel Action Universe block) in 1988, the show is best known today for being the benefactor of Memetic Mutation. The dinosaur toys were eventually recycled (stripped of their armor) as a series of straight, though articulated, dinosaur models (they were even endorsed by the Smithsonian Institution).

Dino-Riders / int_17a45ff5	comment	Also, woolly mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and giant sloths are thrown into the mix. These were collected from the Ice Age and brought back via time travel, so at least were not intended to be contemporaries of the reptilian creatures. However, the lineup also featured "killer warthog" Archaeotherium, which was actually an entelodont that already went extinct long before the Pleistocene. Plus Smilodon, Doedicurus (cartoon only), and Megatherium are depicted living alongside woolly mammoths and Neanderthals.

Dino-Riders / int_251bbe0e	comment	Genre Blindness: The Rulons suffer greatly from this: Serena's cell wasn't guarded and she escaped through the air-vents. The Rulons are confident that no one could break through one of their back-doors without the code access, so they posted no guards. Mind-Zei, who's blind, cracked the access code. Tagg falls to his doom. Rasp and Hammerhead think he's dead and don't bother to look for his corpse. Tagg survives, of course. On several occasions, the Rulons capture dinosaurs that belonged to the Dino-Riders without bothering to brain-box or or otherwise restrain them beyond placing them in a corral. The Dino-Riders use this to their advantage and turn the dinosaurs against the Rulons when they rescue them Whenever Dino-Riders are captured by Rulons they never think of removing their AMP crystals. This lead to the Dino-Riders using their AMP to telepathically warn others or call dinosaurs for help.

Dino-Riders / int_2557e3a9	type	Palette Swap
Dino-Riders / int_2557e3a9	comment	Palette Swap: All of the Rulons's Mooks in the cartoon are Palette Swaps of the established, named characters. Antor, Rasp and Hammerhead are quickly joined by Lokus, Skate and Krok — all six have legions of guys on the Rulon forces that look exactly like them, but for different colors. The toys were like this as well — "Name" characters got the most-spectacular dinosaurs (Diplodocus, Tyrannosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Triceratops, etc.), while most of the lesser-known ones got mere re-colors of established characters. The toyline made this a common feature in the "Two-Packs" that were sold, featuring only humanoid characters — each was sold with one Rulon and one Dino-Rider. All six Rulon Generals had two or more characters that were just Palette Swaps, and all of the featured Valorians had at least one Swap each. Rulon Examples: Krulos got two color swaps in the "Two-Packs", sharing his name but coming in different colors. Antor is the key "ant", coming with the Deinonychus- his Swaps are Sting (Ankylosaurus), Bitor (another Tyrannosaurus figure), Drone, Fire, Termite and Demon. Rasp is the key "viper", coming with the Pteranodon- his Swaps are Cobrus (T. rex add-on #2), Sidewinder (Triceratops co-rider), Fang, Rattlar and Skwirm. Hammerhead is the main "shark" figure, and gets to ride the large and pricey Triceratops- his Swaps are the similarly-colored Mako (stuck riding the much-smaller Monoclonius), Finn, Six-Gill, Dedeye and Gill. Krok is the only "Crocodile" character seen in the cartoon, and comes with the Kentrosaurus- his Swaps are Algar (ultra-rare Rulon Quetzalcoatlus rider), Kraw, Snarrl, Gorr and Gutz. Lokus is a rarely-seen "locust", and comes with the Saurolophus- his Swaps are Poxx, Buzz and Squish (all mini-pack figures). Skate is also rare, coming with the Placerias- his Swaps are Sludge and Ray. Valorian/Dino-Rider Examples: Questar (coming with the Diplodocus) gets two Swaps with the same name and a different color scheme. Serena (a Brontosaurus rider) also gets one, plus another Swap named Ursus. Mind-Zei (coming with the Diplodocus) had two Swaps with the same name. Turret and Gunnur both had camouflage-colored Swaps named Quark and Boldar, respectively. Llahd, the young boy figure, comes with the Pterodactyl dinosaur, while a brown recolor named Nimbus comes with the Struthiomimus, and Mercury (a silver Swap) is a Two-Pack character. Tagg had the same body as Gunnur/Boldar, but a different head. Other Valorians: Yungstar's body-type produces a spectacular number of recolors, some with his same bandana-wearing head, and others without it. They include a brown-haired Yungstar, Vega (Stegosaurus rider), Magnus (Torosaurus), Sky (Deinonychus), Nova, Aries, Proto, Orion and a rarer Llahd with the same color scheme as the Pterodactyl figure (it was occasionally released with that dinosaur). One type, unseen in the cartoon, was the Tark (Stegosaurus)/Shado (Dimetrodon) style- it also included Llava (Chasmosaurus) and Hondo. Axis rode the Edmontonia, and spun off Ion (Brontosaurus add-on), Graff and Ecco. Ayce rode the Brontosaurus also, and spun off Atlas (Pachyrhinosaurus), Neutrino and Wizz. Even the "Cavemen" figures were all Swaps of each other: Grom (Woolly Mammoth), Ulk (Giant Ground Sloth), Zar (Killer Wart Hog), Kub (Sabre-Toothed Tiger), Onk, Urg, Tor and Agga. The dinosaurs were not excluded, either, especially for the toys. Both sides received Deinonychus that were identical but for the color of their stripes. The Monoclonius, Styracosaurus and Chasmosaurus (a later, rare release) have the same body mold, but different heads and color schemes. The Triceratops and its Dino-Rider counterpart, the Torosaurus have the same thing going on — the former is blue and has a short frill, while the latter is brown and has a much larger frill and set of horns (later, the Pachyrhinosaurus — among the rarest toys in the line — joins them, with a gigantic central nose-horn). The Pteranodon and Quetzalcoatlus also are Swaps with different heads. The Rulons later get a straight Swap of the Quetzalcoatlus, patterned like an aircraft.

Dino-Riders / int_4c4bebf4	type	Artistic License â€“ Paleontology
Dino-Riders / int_4c4bebf4	comment	Artistic License â€“ Paleontology: They had dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex and Diplodocus coexisting, which were separated by millions of years' time. The line of toys also included Dimetrodon and Placerias, which were not dinosaurs or even proper reptiles and the former was long extinct before the first dinosaurs came into being. (Dimetrodon is part of the clade that eventually gave rise to the first mammals). Placerias, on the other hand, at least lived in the late Triassic.) The info card[1] on Dimetrodon did mention that they existed before dinosaurs so it isn't explicitly saying that they are dinosaurs. Also, woolly mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and giant sloths are thrown into the mix. These were collected from the Ice Age and brought back via time travel, so at least were not intended to be contemporaries of the reptilian creatures. However, the lineup also featured "killer warthog" Archaeotherium, which was actually an entelodont that already went extinct long before the Pleistocene. Plus Smilodon, Doedicurus (cartoon only), and Megatherium are depicted living alongside woolly mammoths and Neanderthals. Brontosaurus. Never mind that it should have been called Apatosaurus, it was at the centre of a two-part storyline that had the Dino-Riders and Rulons battling over it because it was "the largest dinosaur in the world." But Brontosaurus was not the largest known dinosaur even then — Brachiosaurus was taller and heavier, Ultrasaurusnote it was still considered a valid genus at the time was much larger. And Diplodocus was longer, yet both the toy and cartoon versions of the Brontosaurus are more than twice as long and tall. Brontosaurus is now officially a separate genus from Apatosaurus thanks to re-examining its skeleton for differences. However, this makes the franchise's portrayal even more glaring as Brontosaurus excelsus was shorter than either Apatosaurus or Diplodocus. The above-mentioned Brontosaurus was not the only dinosaur depicted out of scale. For example, the Tyrannosaurus towers over even the Diplodocus and is the second largest dinosaur after the Brontosaurus. The Deinonychus was also made larger and bulkier than the real one (who could hardly have carried a human on its back), ironically putting it at about the same size as the much-later-discovered Utahraptor. Kentrosaurus is made about the same size as Stegosaurus instead of half as large, making it more similar to Dacentrurus. Not to mention Pteranodon and Pterodactylus (referred to as "Pterodactyl") are both portrayed as large and strong enough to carry a full-grown human, although the latter is smaller than the former; in fact, the Pterodactyl here could pass for Quetzalcoatlus lawsoni. And Dimetrodon was in no way large enough to cart around a rider and all that armor, and the whole "hide behind the sail and raise a seat above it as cover" trick would never work. Plus, Smilodon was certainly not as big as a Pachyrhinosaurus. On the other end of the spectrum, the Dino Riders' Ankylosaurus was tiny compared to its real life counterpart, and Saurolophus was barely larger than the Deinonychus, despite the actual animal being comparable in scale to the Tyrannosaurus (the toy version is smaller than the T. rex's leg, though the T. rex is already oversized). Quetzalcoatlus is the same size as Pteranodon when the real animal was anywhere from half again to twice as large. And Megatherium is big as both the Archaeotherium and the Smilodon, even though it's actually taller than a woolly mammoth when standing on two feet (here, it's only half the size of the mammoth).

Dino-Riders / int_695efde3	comment	Raptor Attack: The Dino-Riders and the Rulons have Deinonychus among their forces. Until the introduction of a Rulon Quetzalcoatlus at a quite late point within the toy line's run, it was therefore the only species that was ridden by both factions. (If you only count the toys, and not the series or the comics.) The Deinonychus is made larger than its real-life counterpart roughly 5 years before Steven Spielberg and Jurassic Park made raptor-upscaling a popular trend. This becomes confusingly ironic when you consider that Jurassic's Velociraptors were allegedly based on Deinonychus.

In the two-part finale, Questar is accused of transmitting secret plans to the Rulons. You think the Dino-Riders would start searching Questar's computer to see if anything is wrong. No! They only do so near the end of the second episode and have to deal with a big mess in between. Krulos in the finale. He finally has the STEP crystal and can return to the future, but he decides to remain so he can destroy the Dino-Riders before leaving. It never crossed his mind that he could do both: return to the future to get reinforcements, then go back to the past and destroy the Dino-Riders with the armada.

Dino-Riders / int_9b54d536	type	Evil Counterpart
Dino-Riders / int_9b54d536	comment	Evil Counterpart: Most of the early toys seem to come in pairs — a Dino Rider and Rulon version: Each gets a flying mount with guns strapped to the wings. The Valorians have a Quetzalcoatlus figure; the Rulons get a Pteranodon. Though the cartoon features Serena atop a Pteranodon, and the Rulons later get a Quetzalcoatlus toy that shows up in the Ice Age special episode. The Valorians ride a Torosaurus; the Rulons ride Triceratops. The toys have different heads, paint jobs, armor and riders, but identical bodies. Small Ceratopsians are common — the Valorians ride Styracosaurus, while the Rulons get a head & Palette Swap in Monoclonius. Although Questar rides a Monoclonius in the cartoon. Each side gets a Deinonychus — the dinosaur toys are identical save the color of the figure's back stripes. In some episodes of the cartoon, the Dino-Riders' Deinonychus are brown while the Rulons' are white/beige colored. The other figures in the first series are more similar in size than anything, as they dinosaurs are completely-different — the Valorians ride Pterodactyl and Diplodocus, while the Rulons get Ankylosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. The Pterodactyl and Ankylosaurus are small-sized models with a simple harness/weapon set-up, and the Diplodocus and Tyrannosaurus are jumbo-sized, line-defining centerpieces who are packed with tons of weapons and three figures. The second series gives us the Valorian Stegosaurus and the Rulon Kentrosaurus (upgraded in size to match the Stego's size), and the Valorian Pachycephalosaurus and the Rulon Saurolophus, which are also of similar scale. The Valorian Protoceratops and Rulon Placerias are also about the same size. The second and third series however break the "Counterpart" set-up, as the heroes end up getting far more figures (the Brontosaurus has no counterpart, and neither do the Dimetrodon, Struthiomimus, Edmontonia, or any of the Ice Age creatures), including a few more head and palette swaps of the Ceratopsians (Pachyrhinosaurus for the large-sized model, and Chasmosaurus for the small one).

Despite the fact that she could have escaped and robbed the villains of their powerful leader, she stayed to heal Krulos and bring him back to health. Serena even beats herself up at the end of the episode, acknowledging that she should have let Krulos die, though Mind-Zei and Questar counter that her doing so would have made her no better than Krulos.

Dino-Riders / int_d0c9634e	comment	The above-mentioned Brontosaurus was not the only dinosaur depicted out of scale. For example, the Tyrannosaurus towers over even the Diplodocus and is the second largest dinosaur after the Brontosaurus. The Deinonychus was also made larger and bulkier than the real one (who could hardly have carried a human on its back), ironically putting it at about the same size as the much-later-discovered Utahraptor. Kentrosaurus is made about the same size as Stegosaurus instead of half as large, making it more similar to Dacentrurus. Not to mention Pteranodon and Pterodactylus (referred to as "Pterodactyl") are both portrayed as large and strong enough to carry a full-grown human, although the latter is smaller than the former; in fact, the Pterodactyl here could pass for Quetzalcoatlus lawsoni. And Dimetrodon was in no way large enough to cart around a rider and all that armor, and the whole "hide behind the sail and raise a seat above it as cover" trick would never work. Plus, Smilodon was certainly not as big as a Pachyrhinosaurus.

Dino-Riders / int_eedee4d	type	The Starscream
Dino-Riders / int_eedee4d	comment	The Starscream: A requirement for becoming a Rulon general, apparently — Rasp is most-notably like this, but Antor and Hammerhead also scheme for control. One episode's whole premise involved Krulos being injured and near death and the three main Starscreams feuding amongst themselves to take over.

Dino-Riders / int_f15c2859	comment	No Indoor Voice: Hammerhead. He not only growl every line, but scream on top of his lungs.

Dino-Riders / int_fdacd6ad	type	Weaponized Animal
Dino-Riders / int_fdacd6ad	comment	Weaponized Animal: The Rulons' first move after realizing they need the Valorians' time projecting device to return to the future is to start arming dinosaurs with lasers against their will to create an army and take said device. The Valorians (nee Dino-Riders) counter this by doing the same albeit with their dinosaurs being willing participants.

Dino-Riders / int_ff070bbd	comment	Attack! Attack! Attack!: While Krulos had many schemes under his belt, his favorite strategy is constantly attacking: with overwhelming force. with superior firepower. with an air strike.
