!!Tropes used by the series:

%%* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his robot dinosaur. %% Add more context to describe their relationship and what effect it has on them. %%
* AnimeHair: Taken to an extreme extent.
* {{Bishonen}}: Robert. He's quite vain about it too.
* ButtMonkey: Gelato
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: All of F199.
* EmpathicWeapon: All the Dinobreakers seem to respond to their riders and can operate autonomously to one degree or another.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Dinosaur mecha!
* HotBlooded: Jet Seigel the most, but a lot of other characters.
* KidHero: An entire team of them.
* ImmortalityField: D.I.C.E.'s [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness Body of Elders]] were looking for the gate of AnotherDimension called "Heron Universe" to gain endless life and youth, but they died before they can reach it. When the F-99 team visited it, they discovered that the natives of Heron indeed have immortality and it was given to them by the [[DomainHolder Immortal Pharaoh]] (so no hope there for the people of the other universe). In a subversion, it's implied that they remain immortal even if they leave as it turned out that [[MysteriousBacker one of their organization's benefactors]] named [[MiniatureSeniorCitizen Smyl Iri]] was a Heronian all along. Like the Phantom Knight, he aims to end the immortality of Heronians because he believes it causes stagnancy. The Immortal Pharaoh was then revealed to be [[spoiler:possessed by the Lumosword, a LivingWeapon obsessed with life. When [[TheHero Jet]] killed the Lumosword, the real Immortal Pharaoh was [[DyingAsYourself freed]] and [[MortalityEnsues regular time and lifespan]] returned to the Heronians]].
* ImprobableHairstyle
* LongLostRelative: Jet Seigel's brother Zack carbon-copies [[Anime/SpeedRacer Racer X]] perfectly - he [[FakingTheDead fakes his own death]], then returns under the guise of Phantom Knight, with only his driving skills cluing Jet (and the audience) in on who he is.
* PowerArmor: Not only that, but shorter team members get inserts that allow them to stand at a standard height alongside taller ones.
* ShipTease: Between Marcia and Tak in episode 8.
* StockDinosaurs: Each a different mecha.
* TeamPet: Moke
* ThoseTwoGuys: The glory-hounding fake DICE team, which gets into trouble a lot.
* TransformingMecha: Each dinobreaker transforms from a vehicle to a dinosaur shaped mecha.
* {{Tsundere}}: Puffy Angel towards Jet Seigel. She runs so hot and cold for him it's easy to see.
* TyrannosaurusRex: Two mechas shaped like them.

* ConspicuousCG: The hand-drawn stuff was by Creator/{{Xebec}}, the CG was largely farmed out to Taiwanese firm [[Creator/WangFilmProductions CGCG]], Studio Galapagos, Creator/StudioBihou (who also did the series' backgrounds) and Saruchin Company. It can get pretty noticeable at times, mostly with the outlines.

* TheProblemWithLicensedVideoGames: The videogame is pretty forgetable; the only good point is, if you have enough patience to collect all secret MacGuffin, the last, secret boss battle.
