History WesternAnimation / ExtremeDinosaurs

* ToylessToylineCharacter: For some reason, Spittor never got a toy, despite his gimmick as the Raptors' tech man being tailor-made for it. In the commercials for the toyline they tried to hide this by using two (or more) Haxx action figures, though this had the side effect of making it look like Haxx was a generic army builder Raptor.

* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: In real life titanium has a tensile strength equivalent to low-grade steel, in the show it might as well be MadeOfIndestructium so far as the dinosaurs are concerned.

** In "T-Foot", the Raptor's briefly overwrite Haxx's personality with that of [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} Jerry Seinfeld]], much to their [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny displeasure]].

** Though [[ScienceMarchesOn it wasn't very common knowledge when the show aired]], ''Pteranodon'', of course, aren't dinosaurs, ''Stegosaurus'' did not live at the end of the Cretaceous, and [[RaptorAttack the raptors are depicted a la Jurassic Park rather than their real selves]].

* {{Crossover}}: Before their actual series started, the Extreme Dinosaurs (known then as the Dino Vengers) and Reckless Raptors appeared in several episodes of WesternAnimation/StreetSharks.

* RubberForheadAliens: Chedra's interdimensional species resembles humans with blue skin and elf ears.

* HumanAliens: Chedra's interdimensional species resembles humans with blue skin and elf ears.

* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Two episodes invoke this trope, however one was a Freak Accident on the protagonists and the other from a TransformationRay

* SelfDestructMechanism

-->''modern man's got prehistoric company!"''

* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Spike is the only Extreme Dinosaurs who does not gain footwears after transforming. The entire crew of the Reckless Raptors also do not wear any.

* PteroSoarer: Bullzeye, despite being a good guy, looks like a stereotypical monstrous pterosaur, though he's specified as a ''Pteranodon'' rather than a pterodactyl. His extra arms are shown to be a result of his mutation, though he was shown to have teeth and bat-wings beforehand.

* PteroSoarer: Bullzeye, though he's specified as a ''Pteranodon'' rather than a pterodactyl. His extra arms are shown to be a result of his mutation, though he was shown to have teeth and bat-wings beforehand.

* {{Irony}}: Stegz, the highly intelligent member of the gang and arguably the smartest character in the show, is a ''Stegosaurus''. You know, the dinosaur with the small brain. On the other hand, some FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you remember that old, thoroughly-debunked belief that stegosaurus was so huge it needed two brains, with a second one in its lower region. We know better now, but having two brains WOULD make you considerably smarter. And then you realize that ''most dinosaurs have small brains'', not just the Stegosauri.

* UndeadFossils: "Bones of Contention" has the Extreme Dinosaurs dealing with reanimated dinosaur fossils who had their rest disturbed by a construction crew.

** The Raptors' main motive, which is to cause global warming. It's not like the planet's current temperature is a threat to their lives or anything, since there are plenty of hot places they can live in (like their volcano hideout), they just find it annoying.

* ButtMonkey: Haxx, so many times. Being used as a guinea pig to test the Jurassic Flu virus is just top of the list. In fact, he's usually the first one to be hit, defeated or separated from the fray. [[TheWoobie Even his own team mates could be rather firm towards him most of the time.]] [[TheDitz It's usually due to his clumsiness and him being the least smart one.]]

* PteroSoarer: Bullzeye. His extra arms are shown to be a result of his mutation, though he was shown to have teeth and bat-wings beforehand.

* CatchPhrase: "Cretaceous!", "Let's Fossilise'em!", "Let's Carnivate'em!" (We shudder to think what the last one involves.)
** One might theorize that it has something to do with tearing and rending, [[ColdBloodedTorture which doesn't make it sound any nicer.]]
** And at least two of them are herbivorous!

** Haxx is heavily implied to be this in "A Bone To Pick", where he mentions at the end that he enjoyed playing with the kids.
