History WesternAnimation / Dinosaucers

** The Devolving Gun. Reverts the victim to their prehistoric form and decreases their intelligence.

In 2017, Lion Forge produced a comic book continuation of the show, with DarkerAndEdgier material that was aged up in tone from the original.

* UnanthropomorphicTransformation: The good guys had the power to do this via Dino-volving, which allowed them to transform their humanoid bodies into the much larger forms of their dinosaur ancestors. They gained proportional strength and stamina, as well as retained their normal intelligence, but lost the ability to talk, opposable thumbs, and their outfits.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: In the episode where Rex takes the Dinosaucers to court. First, some of their claims (illegal entry and tailgating) are criminal, not civil offenses, for which you can't sue people; instead, you call the police. Second, 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. 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. To say nothing of the defects in the process (for example, the judge simply taking the litigants' word for things rather than requiring evidence).

* CarnivoresAreMean: Averted with Allo, who's a good guy despite being a carnivore dinosaure. Played straight with the carnivore members of the Tyrannos.

** 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 [[TerrorDactyl such pterosaurs would be depicted]]. However, 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.
