* AnachronismStew: In the cartoon, the conflict takes place 65 million years ago in Earth's past (66 mya by modern standards) but features dinosaurs from various points in the Mesozoic, as well as the Permian ''Dimetrodon'', who died out long before the first dinosaurs even evolved. The episode "Ice Age" ''almost'' averts this, since modern humans, Neanderthals, woolly mammoths, ''Smilodon'', ''Megatherium'' and ''Doedicurus'' all did live 100,000 years ago ([[MisplacedWildlife but not all in the same place]]), but they also have the entelodont ''Archaeotherium'' living at this time, even though it vanished over 25 million years ago, and the last entelodont died out at least 18 million years ago.

** They had dinosaurs like ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' and ''Diplodocus'' coexisting, which were separated by millions of years' time. The line of toys also included ''Dimetrodon'' and ''Placerias'', which were not dinosaurs or even proper reptiles and the former was long extinct before the first dinosaurs came into being. (''Dimetrodon'' is part of the clade that eventually gave rise to the first mammals). ''Placerias'', on the other hand, at least lived in the late Triassic.) The info card[[https://imgur.com/a/CIdHstg]] on ''Dimetrodon'' did mention that they existed before dinosaurs so it isn't explicitly saying that they '''are''' dinosaurs.

%%* WeaponizedAnimal
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: In one episode, Krulos is gravely injured and on the verge of death. The rest of the Rulons didn't care at all that he was dying, leaving him to his fate and instead arguing amonst themselves in regards to which one should be the new leader. At the same time, the Valorian healer Serena was caputred by the Rulons but had managed to escape into the base. Serena came across Krulos and saw he was dying. Despite the fact that she could have escaped and robbed the villains of their powerful leader, she stayed to heal Krulos and bring him back to health. Serena even beats herself up at the end of the episode, acknowledging that she should have let Krulos die.

%%* WeaponizedAnimal
* WeaponizedAnimal: The Rulons' first move after realizing they need the Valorians' time projecting device to return to the future is to start arming dinosaurs with lasers against their will to create an army and take said device. The Valorians (nee Dino-Riders) counter this by doing the same albeit with their dinosaurs being willing participants.
