Dinosaucers was a short lived but fondly remembered Animal Superheroes cartoon from the United States. It aired for one season as a 65-Episode Cartoon that aired in First-Run Syndication on weekdays in 1987. It is about a war carried out on Earth between two groups of anthropomorphic dinosaurs from the planet Reptilon. The good Dinosaurs are the titular Dinosaucers who fight a group of evil dinosaurs, the Tyrannos. The Dinosaucers have also recruited a bunch of Earth kids called the Secret Scouts to help them in their fight.The Dinosaucers also have a power called Dinovolving, which transforms them into normal, non-anthro dinosaurs while retaining all their other human-like abilities (talking, ect.) However it's rarely used and usually didn't appear for entire episodes. The Tyrannos themselves do not have this ability, but they do have a Transformation Ray gun that does essentially the same thing — but the now-normal animal character has that animal's intelligence as well. The device is usually used on the Tyrannos themselves for comedic effect, because in spite of all the action/adventure elements, more often than not the stories are Played for Laughs. Despite the unusual premise, it was boosted by general tongue-in-cheek writing with good characters. Compare/contrast the genuinely ridiculous Extreme Dinosaurs, Dino Squad, Kung Fu Dino Posse, Jurassic Strike Force 5 and DinoZaurs.The show was made by DIC Entertainment, and features original characters, but it is not part of the DIC library (which is now owned by DHX Media). Its owned and distributed by Coca-Cola Telecommunications, which is now part of Sony Pictures Television, making them the show's current rights holders.note Coca-Cola owned Columbia Pictures at the time the series was made.In 2017, Lion Forge produced a comic book reboot of the show, with Darker and Edgier material that was aged up in tone from the original.There is a Characters page that needs some love.

Villain: Exit, Stage Left
 Dinosaucers / int_105f4bd9
comment
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Done to ridiculous extremes! Allo always lets Rex and the Tyrannos get away. ALWAYS! Rex doesn't even have to retreat, he just has to walk off and no one bothers to try and chase after him. Its so bad at times, that one has to ask if this Alien Dinosaur battle for Earth is actually taken seriously by either the Tyrannos or the Dinosaucers. One rather memorable example had Genghis Rex offer to destroy his own base for the Dinosaucers (while under the effects of a sort of loyalty-switching ray). Allo refuses.

Graceful Loser: When the Secret Scouts foiled Perry Porter's plan to photograph the captured Dinosaucers, he merely shrugged it off, saying "You win a few, you lose a few." When Sarah beat her rival Giselle in the school Olympics, Giselle was visibly annoyed that she lost, but still gave Sarah a congratulatory handshake. When Allo saved the Secret Scouts from a Tyranno film shoot, Attila Rex told Genghis not to be too upset since "That's showbiz!"

Villain Ball: Genghis Rex is incredibly ineffectual as a villain. Not only do all his plans fail, they're never even very well thought out or clear. Name something from the Villain Ball page and Rex probably has it. Even the other Tyrannos don't seem to respect him all that much; some have betrayed him behind his back, while others just enjoy making fun of him. The episodes usually end with him suffering from a very embarrassing defeat.

A Little Something We Call "Rock and Roll": Subverted when David tried to teach the Dinosaucers about music; the Dinosaucers found the sound incredibly painful on the ears, and when they had to stand in for David's band later, they naturally couldn't play a lick of good music.

Carnivore Confusion: Allo, the Dinosaucer's leader is an Allosaurus who has a subordinates Bronto Thunder and Stego, respectively an Apatosaurus and a Stegosaurus who were known Allosauruses' prey; Conversely, Rex, has Ankylo, Styraco, and Quackpot, respectively an Ankylosaurus, Styracosaurus and an unspecified Duckbill as underlings. However in one episode shows both Rex and his sister, Dei, feasting on fern, and another shows Stego eating pastrami on rye, suggesting that all of the civilized dinosaurs on Reptilon are omnivores.

Rank Scales with Asskicking: Rex and Allo tend to be the most competent in their respective teams, but this is taken to an extreme with the Dinosorceror and his wife, the Dinosorceress. An attempt to assassinate them with laser weapons simply resulted in the Dinosorceress catching them and asking the shooters if they wanted it back. They wisely declined.

There's a little leeway given that these are all aliens who happen to resemble anthropomorphic versions of Earth animals. Still, there are some weird things such as Quackpot's fangs and Terrible Dactyl's long tail. Further, the Dinosaucers and Tyrannos who aren't dinosaurs (but who end up being called as such in low-quality children's books), Dimetro, Terrible, Ichy, and Plesio, keep calling themselves dinosaurs.

Beach Episode: As stated below there is indeed a beach episode. However its purpose is inverted. For some reason all the Tyrannos and every single male Dinosaucer appears... but Sarah is the only female to be found in the episode! The Fanservice that one is suppose to get with the episode is swayed in favor of the girls with all the Bare-Chested Male Anthro Dinosaur shots you could want. This all gets a little weird when you consider that the show's target audience is pre-pubescent boys...

Artistic License – Paleontology: There's a little leeway given that these are all aliens who happen to resemble anthropomorphic versions of Earth animals. Still, there are some weird things such as Quackpot's fangs and Terrible Dactyl's long tail. Further, the Dinosaucers and Tyrannos who aren't dinosaurs (but who end up being called as such in low-quality children's books), Dimetro, Terrible, Ichy, and Plesio, keep calling themselves dinosaurs. Dimetro is kind of an oddball there. Dimetrodons are most definitely not dinosaurs. They are pelycosaurs, the ancestors of the therapsids, who were in turn the ancestors of mammals (in short, Dimetro is a closer relative of the Secret Scouts than he is to any of the Dinosaucers). However, Dimetrodon was and is still one of the most likely non-dinosaurs to be called a dinosaur in poorly researched children's media, and examples of it being confused for a dinosaur are numerous. When Dinosaucers was being created, the dinosaur formerly known as Brontosaurus had been renamed Apatosaurus, after paleontologists determined that the two species were the same and that Apatosaurus was the older, and more valid, name. However at the time Brontosaurus was still the name pop culture was familiar with, and so Dinosaucers continued to use it. This trope is lampshaded when Bronto is told that Apatosaurus is the appropriate term for his species. On his planet it's apparently a girl's name. Specifically, "Apattysaurus" is the name of his girlfriend back home. Terrible Dactyl. His name would suggest he's a Pterodactylus and he did have teeth like one, but he also had a crest like a Pteranodon and a tail like a Rhamphorhynchus. In fact, the animators of Dinosaucers were clearly inspired by Pteranodon and Rhamphorhynchus when designing Terrible Dactyl. This wouldn't be the first, or last time such pterosaurs would be depicted. Interestingly, the show seems to acknowledge Pteranodon and "Pterodactyls" as two separate pterosaurs, as evidenced by the episode "Eggs Mark the Spot" where Terrible Dactyl outright states Pteranodons are his "cousins" and Genghis Rex still refers to him as a pterodactyl. But that doesn't excuse the fact the Pteranodons in this show have long, Rhamphorhynchus-like tails just like Terrible, though at least they are toothless. In one episode, the Secret Scouts were chased into a cavern by "the largest of all dinosaurs, a Seismosaurus". There was a brief period of time when this was widely accepted as accurate, although it was later discovered that Seismosaurus was actually synonymous with Diplodocus. However, none of this excuses making the Seismosaurus look like a Brachiosaurus with a serpentine neck and sharp teeth. The prehistoric Ankylosaurus in this show have two spikes pronging from their tail clubs similar to outdated depictions of Scolosaurus. Quackpot is an unspecified "Duckbill". At the time Dinosaucers was produced, the best known duckbill was Anatosaurus - however, at the time there was some controversy over whether the species should be called Anatosaurus or Trachodon, and it's possible that the writers chose to avoid the name entirely so they wouldn't later turn out to be wrongnote and they'd have been wrong anyway, as after decades of confusion paleontologists decided on Edmontosaurus as the species' proper name. More likely that they just didn't think it important enough to bring up.

Fantastic Racism: The Tyrannos, especially Rex, don`t hide the fact that they hate humans with a passion. They often refer to any human they come across as "you mammal" with contempt in their tone of voice. It`s more obvious with the Secret Scouts as they still refer to them as "puny mammal" despite knowing their names.

Savage Spinosaurs: "Those Reptilonian Nights" featured a Spinosaurus (though he could be a Dimetrodon) and what might have been a Baryonyx (at the very least, he had the thumb claw) as mafia goons. The show was made before those two dinosaurs were understood to be related, so the fact they're shown together is pure coincidence.

The Smurfette Principle: Related to the above trope, as this show's target demographic is for boys. Boys usually like Dinosaurs more anyway. Teryx and Sarah are the only main female characters on the show. At the same time though, as mentioned above, Teryx and Sarah do go on adventures with the team and do help beat the bad guys time to time, so they're not just there for eye candy.

Evil Lawyer Joke: Despite losing the case in the aforementioned Courtroom Episode, Genghis Rex spares his lawyer's life, because he thinks that the man has some Tyranno blood in his veins.

Cowardly Lion
 Dinosaucers / int_64070096
comment
Cowardly Lion Stego:. Usually preferring to avoid confrontation, and typically ducking his head into his suit at the first sign of trouble, Stego has, on two separate occasions, infiltrated the Tyranno base by himself to rescue his friends. First Teryx and Sarah, and later a human boy he had just met that day. In fact, there was an episode parodying The Wizard of Oz. No points for guessing who played the Cowardly Lion.

Raptor Attack: Princess Dei, a Deinonychus who occasionally aids the Tyrannos. Since this show came out before Jurassic Park, Deinonychus is used as the token dromaeosaur instead of Velociraptor. Teryx technically also counts, but it would not be until much later that Archaeopteryx was recognized as a relative of the dromaeosaurs.

Beware the Silly Ones: Quackpot may be the biggest joker on the Tyrannos, but he has proved to be an actual menace to the Dinosaucers and Secret Scouts more than once on the show. This trait/trope Quackpot displays is also hinted at in the 2018 reboot comic with a more darker nature behind it.

All Planets Are Earth-Like: Subverted with Reptilon, which is also exactly on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. And they speak perfect English off the bat. It has two moons.

Artistic License – Law
 Dinosaucers / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: "Scales of Justice" seems to take this trope up to eleven within a minute of the trial in said episode: Some of the Tyranno's claims (illegal entry and tailgating) are criminal, not civil offenses, for which you can't sue people; instead, you call the police. No single court in the United States would have jurisdiction over all the charges made against the Dinosaucers. Tailgating is a traffic offense, which is usually handled by municipal courts or their equivalent. Another crime mentioned, assault and battery (civil or criminal), can be handled at the municipal or county levels, depending on the severity of the claim or charge, and illegal entry is a federal offense, which would be handled by an immigration court. The Judge presiding in the trial just accepts the accusations given by the Tyranno`s with no solid proof other than their word (and after Ankylo openly stated that Tyranno`s never tell the truth during his swear in oath). Allo also manages to successfully defend him and his team using the same tactic of just telling his side of things with zero solid proof on his behalf when and after questioning Ankylo. What`s even crazier is that this gets the judge to declare the Dinosaucers not guilty on one charge at a time after Allo finishes questioning Ankylo on each charge. After the verdict is reached on all the charges against the Dinosaucers where they are found not guilty Rex gets hostile and acts dangerous by smashing the prosecutors table and openly threatening his lawyer. Had this scene been more realistic, he would have been clearly restrained by courtroom guards and/or charged for his actions. For extra stupidity, he did all this while the judge was still in the room. However, the judge simply warns him that if he does one more outburst he`ll be held for contempt.

Interspecies Romance
 Dinosaucers / int_8485d41a
comment
Interspecies Romance: Teryx is in love with Ichy, but she's reluctant to tell him because they're different species. She's an Archaeopteryx, he's a Ichthyosaurus. Her reasoning is strange, as interspecies relations are common on the Dinosaucers' home planet (leading to some... interesting Fridge Logic) and Ichy has no problem getting around on land anyway. It's never really made clear if Ichy and Teryx ever do go out with one another. There's some strong hints that after "For the Love of Teryx" they do. Mostly knowing looks and rather heartfelt farewells from time to time when they separate. At least one episode references the fact that Teryx and Genghis Rex used to actively date one another at some point back on Reptilon. She didn't seem to have any problem with the idea back then. Thing is, he still carries a torch for her, but Teryx has long since moved on.

Didn't Think This Through: This why the Tyrannos fail half the time. In one episode, the Tyrannos go back to old jobs to make the Dinosaucers think they've given up and let their guard down, allowing the Tyrannos to attack the Dinosorcerer and Dinosorceress without any opposition. However, since the Tyrannos went back to their old jobs, they're too busy to aid Rex and Dei with the attack.

 Dinosaucers / int_906a72da
comment
Terrible Dactyl. His name would suggest he's a Pterodactylus and he did have teeth like one, but he also had a crest like a Pteranodon and a tail like a Rhamphorhynchus. In fact, the animators of Dinosaucers were clearly inspired by Pteranodon and Rhamphorhynchus when designing Terrible Dactyl. This wouldn't be the first, or last time such pterosaurs would be depicted. Interestingly, the show seems to acknowledge Pteranodon and "Pterodactyls" as two separate pterosaurs, as evidenced by the episode "Eggs Mark the Spot" where Terrible Dactyl outright states Pteranodons are his "cousins" and Genghis Rex still refers to him as a pterodactyl. But that doesn't excuse the fact the Pteranodons in this show have long, Rhamphorhynchus-like tails just like Terrible, though at least they are toothless.

Informed Species: Bonehead is supposed to be a Pachycephalosaurus, but only bears a passing resemblance to one. Ankylo has a face more like a cross between a bulldog and a warthog than an Ankylosaurus. Plesio is supposed to be a Plesiosaurus, but his long tail, the fact that he has hands and feet instead of flippers, and the tendrils trailing off his scalp mean that he isn't readily identifiable as one. Princess Dei is supposed to be a Deinonychus, but she looks more like a generic small theropod. In fact, she doesn't even have the sickle-shaped foot-claws the genus was named after.

Status Quo Is God: And how! Everything always reverts to the status quo at the end of the episode. Nothing ever changes. Like most cartoons of its time, the series doesn't follow any overarching storyline. Every episode was self contained. Ergo, there was no need to change anything. All the Tyrannos will always be evil even after betraying Rex, no characters ever die or leave, and the Dinosaucers and Tyrannos, despite meeting several humans not part of the main cast and even being involved in an actual court case at one time, always go back to fighting their battle in secret.

comment
After the verdict is reached on all the charges against the Dinosaucers where they are found not guilty Rex gets hostile and acts dangerous by smashing the prosecutors table and openly threatening his lawyer. Had this scene been more realistic, he would have been clearly restrained by courtroom guards and/or charged for his actions. For extra stupidity, he did all this while the judge was still in the room. However, the judge simply warns him that if he does one more outburst he`ll be held for contempt.

Played straight with the Tyrannos, though due to their incompetence it's usually over before it starts. With the Dinosaucers its curiously more of a Benevolent Alien Invasion as they set up bases and want to share technology and knowledge.

Too Dumb to Live
 Dinosaucers / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Some of the Tyrannos come off as this sometimes. Quackpot takes the cake in one episode where he happens to notice that Genghis Rex is just a bit crazy.... then loudly proclaims an insult regarding Genghis Rex's mental state to the other Tyrannos. Good thing Rex wasen't in a "break your face open with my fist" kinda mood that day. All the times they misinterpret simple Earth things, like thinking that toy commercials are advertisements for weapons, that summer camp is really boot camp, that 'reduced for clearance' means a guy named Clarence has a shrink ray (also that he wears stilts is proof of this), that an actor on TV is really a superhero, etc. The Dinosaucers sometimes fell victim to this too.

Unpleasant Animal Counterpart

comment
Unpleasant Animal Counterpart: Some of the Tyrannos are larger and/or scarier-looking counterparts to the Dinosaucers: Tyrannosaurus rex (evil) is bigger and fiercer than Allosaurus (good), Brachiosaurus (evil) is bigger than Brontosaurus (good), Styracosaurus is much spikier than Triceratops, Plesiosaurus (evil) is all snakelike and sinister compared to Icthyosaurus, and Archaeopteryx (good) is mostly just a bird while a pterosaur (evil) looks like a dragon-bat. Once you get to Ankylosaurus and Anatosaurus, though, the good and evil counterparts don't line up as neatly. The character designs of the Tyrannos often had spikes and sharp fangs added to make them look more evil.

Unwanted Rescue
 Dinosaucers / int_c07adb60
comment
Unwanted Rescue: In one episode, Plesio does a jailbreak for the underwater inhabitants of an aquarium. He essentially offers them freedom from their "Human Slave Masters". While the sea creatures are initially swayed into thinking Plesio's form of freedom is right, they quickly become disillusioned. Mostly because they grow hungry, tired, they no longer think it's very fun, and Plesio states that he hates mammals in general making the Dolphins abandon him. Plesio's plans to take back the seas from the humans only goes as far freeing a school of fish from the net of a fishing boat. The aquarium creatures were probably raised in captivity, but hearing one say "I don't think I like freedom" is kinda weird. Needless to say, the episode is like a reverse viewing of Captain Planet.

Insane Troll Logic: Allo uses this to exonerate him and his teammates during a court case the Tyrannos have brought against them after all other options have been exhausted. Chief among them, he argues that his team aren't Illegal Aliens because they never crossed the United States Border, they landed straight down. He then tries to discredit another Tyranno's testimony by claiming that because his tail was dragging as he raced across the ground that he was "Drag Racing" which is illegal. The most insane part of this though? It works. The Judges dismisses all charges.

When Dinosaucers was being created, the dinosaur formerly known as Brontosaurus had been renamed Apatosaurus, after paleontologists determined that the two species were the same and that Apatosaurus was the older, and more valid, name. However at the time Brontosaurus was still the name pop culture was familiar with, and so Dinosaucers continued to use it. This trope is lampshaded when Bronto is told that Apatosaurus is the appropriate term for his species. On his planet it's apparently a girl's name. Specifically, "Apattysaurus" is the name of his girlfriend back home.

No Peripheral Vision: The Dinosaucers and Tyrannos are pretty stealthy... being as big as they are. No one ever seems to notice the giant prehistoric monsters sneaking behind them... ever. One egregious example is in "Eggs Marks the Spot" when Sarah is looking from side to side in front of her while Ankylo and Quackpot sneak past behind her. Its rather ridiculous to see creatures almost twice the size of a regular human simply tip toe past people without being spotted.

Product Placement: Averted Trope. The show itself was owned by the Coca-Cola Company (during the time when they ran Columbia Pictures)... and they didn't saturate it with in-show ads! It's now owned by Sony (Columbia's current parent company), for what it's worth. Additionally, the toy line was never released (aside from a very small release overseas). The molds were ready, which is why they were sold to another company to make the aforementioned overseas run. The cancellation was very sudden and unexpected.

Depending on the Writer: More minor characters could often change their personalities completely in between episodes.
