Dinosaucers Offical Discussion Thread

[TheMasterTurtle]

Hey everyone - this show has always been near the top of my childhood list of favorite shows. Just like many shows, it had elements that seemed like it pulled from other properties in the late 80's but something about this show stood out to me as a child. It seems that either you loved it or hated it.

I can never find anyone to discuss this show or it's rather short list of collectibles. I hope by starting this thread I'll bring some of the fans out of hiding and maybe even introduce some others to it.

Here is a link to the intro!

One of my fave shows as a kid. Remember the dino power hour where it was Dinosaucers and Denver back to back? Ah those were the days...

To this day tho I question how the bloody heck an Allosaurus could have a sister that's a Pachycephalosaurus. How does THAT work? A meat eating dino with a plant eating sister?!

Also, Ghengis Rex' sister was a Deinonychus. At least she was another meat eater...still weird.

But hey... some of the Dinosaucers allies were mutant turtles and a mutant crocadile....

Oh, man, my bro and I LOVED this show to death! It was definitely a favorite of mine for sure. Just such a cool show all around. Glad others remember it too.

I used to watch this show when I was a kid.

This is one show that I would love to see brought back.

I used to watch this when I was a kid - haven't seen it in aaaaages though!

I really wanted to see this show as a kid but only got to see a few episodes since it was before my time and only got to very few re-runs. I finally watched the entire show like 4 years ago and what a terrible show but it's a "so bad it's somewhat amusing" some episodes were indeed interesting since they were so out there but the regular generic episodes were pretty bad. Cool concept that could've only worked in the 80s but it needed more "crazy" and less seriousness.

Thank god we finally have the Official Dinosaucers thread.

Thanks for fixing my link!

Yeah this certainly was never HIGH quality in the plot or character development departments. It was most certainly riddled with plot holes. I really enjoyed the voice acting and even more then that I thought the overall audio and animation teams did a phenomenal job. The character designs always stood out as well.

I don't like reboots all that much but I have to say I wish this property would be given one. There was a lot of potential there untapped. I honestly haven't been a fan of the Michael Bay reboots and I cant believe I'm suggesting it but his style would probably fit well with Dinosaucers.

Anyone on here have any collectibles from the show? They're hard to come by and tend to be pricey when you can find them. I have about a dozen cels or so - I can post some pics if anyone is interested. I'm currently on he hunt for the Glasslite 8" figures. For as rare as they are every few months someone in Brazil pops them on eBay - its just a matter of how good their condition is and how much are you willing to shell out? They'll catch $200-$500 easily.

Was that necessary? If you dont like the show, dont comment. People like you make me hate this forum sometimes. I'll never understand the need for members to be rude or disrespectful to each other or their interests. I'm glad you met your A-Hole quota for the day. Gotta fill today up so hurry up and post a response...

I have watched this show.

[ShelleyQuick]

I thought I was the only one who had ever heard of this show. I loved it, you know, cause dinosaurs. I just recently was able to watch a bunch of episodes on YouTube. I don't know if they're still there though.

I know there's still a bunch up. I have an officially released VHS and an old VHS I taped myself growing up. I buckled a few years back and got a bootleg of the complete series. The video and audio are subpar but I can get my fix when I want.

I recall years ago someone I know through another message board contacted someone who had worked on the show. I dont know if it was the creator, writor, etc but they inquired about the original film reels. The rumor is in the mid 90s the warehouse where they were stored burned down and the reels along with it. If true the show may never see a quality dvd release. I don't remember what the quality of the streaming episodes were from amazon a few years back.

[JakeSully]

Great show, funny too and it reminds me of Road Rovers in a way. I was a kid back then watching it on syndicated TV and dug it.

I even had the hots for Teryx as i thought she was one fine bird just like Goldie Pheasant from Rock a Doodle.

[FlawedCoil82]

Oh yea I remember Dinosaucers. I was into this show even before TMNT if I remember right. I really enjoyed it. My favorite was always Tricero (I think that was his name?). It would air when I went to school so I'd have my mom tape it for me and I couldnt wait to get home and watch the episodes that she had gotten that day. At one point I had like 4 tapes filled with this show. It was corny as Hell looking back, but I would still definitely be interested in buying a complete set of it (even though that is very likely never to happen).

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, my favorite Dinosaucer was Teryx. I just thought she was so cool. It's sad to hear this may never get a DVD release. I was hoping for one.

Well you can't always believe what you read on the internet so I'm hopeful as well. Someone modded the Dinosaucers Wiki page this year saying Mill Creek Entertainment got the distribution rights and were planning a DVD. I did some digging and found nothing so I contacted them and it's pure rumor. They confirmed in their response that they haven't obtained the rights however they've taken my request to add the show to their list of considerations.

If you're interested, contact them and let them know via their website or Facebook page!

I loved this show! Usually when I mention it to others they have no idea what of what show I'm talking about. It's nice to see a thread for this.

[Shred Head]

I remember watching this as a kid but not to many memories of it probably would have loved it it if I saw more of it since I loved Dinosaurs as a kid. I rarely got to see it though it always seemed to be on at really odd times that I could never get to a tv to see it. I remember a friend of mine made fun of this show once said it was a knock off of Tranformers. Just substituting changing robots with walking talking dinosaurs. Watching the intro I can kinda see his point. Part me kinda wonders if it would be worth a reboot but then I think what would happen if Bay got his hands on it. Oh god just think about it Shrek faced Dinos, Dino tits, and some jackass who through the whole movie brags that he can legally **** a teenage girl in front of her dad and adds nothing to the story. Oh man I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

[TheMasterTurtle]

Definitely has similarities of Transformers. A revival for me would mean the original would get some attention again. I could always forget a new awful Dinosaucers movie like I have forgotten the latest installment of turtle movies.

I haven't gotten around to taking pics of all my cels yet but I will at some point. I have a new collectible on the way and will post pics here and in my collection thread. I've waited 15 years to pull the trigger on these...

[TheMasterTurtle]

Here is the rare pick up I was talking about - I have 4 more to go to be complete.... then weapons and prototypes if I can ever find them.
