History Fridge / DinoTrux

* The show rule about what creature is sapient or not, is that sapient creatures have [[BlackDotPupils white scleras and black pupils]]. This gets shown with Tortools, Towaconstrictors, Picktools and Junktools who can't talk but are able to communicate non-verbally with other species, Dreadtrux who may seem as most animalistic of all Trux but are [[ItCanThink capable of thinking]] and cooperation with other Dinotrux, and Shredadons who are [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe able to show gratitude]]. This leaves us with Aquadons who may seem as a underwater version of [[RaptorAttack Scraptors]] or [[TerrorDactyl Scrapadactyls]] (but way bigger and dangerous), but unlike those two previous creatures Aquadons have white scleras and black pupils, and in ''Crabcavator'' one of them ''[[ItCanThink catches]]'' with its mouth harpoon that Ty fires into it. In addition to this, in scenes taking place underwater characters don't speak and only grunt, yell or roar. This could make Aquadons as sapient as the other characters, and put their actions in ''[[Recap/DinotruxS05E02Aquadons Aquadons]]'' and ''[[Recap/DinotruxS08E06Crabcavator Crabcavator]]'' in whole new light - they were well aware that they're attacking their fellow Trux, plus given how ''brutal'' their attacks were, we can easily compare them to [[AxCrazy Splitter]] instead to Scraptors.

However, its somewhat a NightmareRetardant given that just like Shredadon they were just protecting their territory.

** Alternatively, D-Structs did what most villains didn't: quit fighting against the hero and go someplace else to wreck havoc, which is actually a pretty smart move.

* In "Ty vs. D-Structs", after exiling ''all'' residents of the Crater and destroying all entrances to it, it may seem that D-Structs and D-Stroy ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Scraptools]]) are now the only creatures living in the area. But if you rewatch the opening of the episode, you notice that they only banished ''Trux'', and there aren't any Reptools with them, unlike the episode "Volcano" where Reptools were present during the evacuation. This theory gets supported during the final battle, where Ottos and Junktools come from the opposite directions of the tunnel, as if they were already in the Crater from the beginning. This could mean, that with the other Trux gone, D-Structs and D-Stroy wouldn't have any qualms about terrorizing and possibly even ''killing'' smaller and weaker Reptools who would have it much worse than at the beginning of the series, where they were hiding in their ravine out of fear of the outside world.

* The show's logo is brilliance in itself - the "dino" half of the logo is covered in green scales, while "trux" half is made of shiny metal. The show's logo perfectly represents show setting of [[AnimalVehicleHybrid dinosaurs mixed with vehicles]].
* A meta example: most of the voice actors from the show are Canadian. Canada is home to [[http://paleoportal.org/index.php?globalnav=time_space&sectionnav=state&name=British%20Columbia one of the world's most important fossil finds]], and one of its provinces (Alberta) is called [[https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/dinosaur-capital-of-the-world-continued-drumheller-alberta-bites-back-48835022/ "dinosaur capital of the world"]].
* Ty's line in the final episode ("Let's just say... D-Structs defeated himself.") actually makes a lot of sense. It could be that Ty's speech about community and sharing somehow got into D-Strucks' head - he realized that without the help of his allies, he would not be able to single-handedly take on the inhabitants of the Crater (as shown earlier in the episode when he and his brother were outnumbered, and D-Strucks had to take Revvit hostage to avoid getting his sheet metal kicked), who - thanks to the kindness of Ty and his friends - becomed one united community towards the end of the series. His final moment with Ty and his decision to leave the Crater in search of new place to live, could be interpreted as him stoically coming to terms with the failure regarding the goal he pursued throught the past 78 episodes - namely, ''[[IronicEcho tearing down]]'' community that Ty and his friends created, in order to have everything for himself.

* [[UncertainDoom The last time]] we see Gold Trux is when his golden lair is melting. [[LaserGuidedKarma Did he drowned in the melted gold and becomed a golden statue of himself?]] Or worse, he somehow survived and wants a revenge against Ty and his friends from losing his [[LovesOnlyGold precious gold]]. And given how [[AxCrazy nuts he was already]], who's to say that losing his gold made his mental state [[SanitySlippage even worse?]]

** Even if he managed somehow to exit the tunnel, there is Mama Dreadtrux living near to it who wouldn't have mercy to kill her tormentor...
* We [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse never see]] what happened to the Splitter, Blayde and Pounder after Dreadtrux two-parter in which they break up with D-Strucks and Skrap-It and are never seen through the entire series. Are they terrorizing Trux and Tools living outside of Crater, or they're planning to return to Crater [[EvilPowerVacuum and taking advantage of the fact that the D-Bros were defeated, essentially becoming a new threat to Ty and company?]] Seems like residents of Crater don't have any moment of peace...

** In the part 2 of the aforementioned Pounder gets knocked unconscious by the Dreadtrux treads after having a smart idea to attack her. Did she killed him? Alternatively that could have been totally different Poundersaurolophus reusing Pounder model.

* At the end of Season 5, the Dreadtrux leaves peacefully with her egg. But in part 1, Revvit notes that Dreadtrux spend ''months'' eating and destroying everything in their path. The mother Dreadtrux may have left the Crater in peace, but what about all the Trux and their homes ''outside'' the crater?!

** Even if he managed somehow to exit the tunnel, there is Mama Dreadtrux living near to it who wouldn't have mercy to kill her tormentor...

** In their debut episode, during the scene where the pack of the Scraptor that got captured by the gang and transported by the Ton-Ton hears his calls they can be seen feasting on what looks like a smaller version of the Stegarbasaurus body part. Does this Scraptors ''[[ChildEater killed young Stegarbasaurus?!]]''

* At the season 8 finale, D-Stroy is seen driven out of the crater by the tunnel, then rocks covered it. He might have died as if he had been alive, he would have busted his way out.

The mother Dreadtrux may have left the Crater in peace, but what about all the Trux and their homes ''outside'' the crater?!

* Scrap collectors in general if you think too hard about the fact the only scrap metal in this world is essentially the flesh of living beings.
