Dinosaucers is a 1987 animated television series co-produced in the
United States and Canada, produced by DIC Animation City and
distributed in syndication in the US by Coca-Cola Telecommunications.
The show was created by producer Michael E. Uslan, who considered it a
"hairbrained idea". A total of 65 episodes were made for the show's
first-run syndication, but it only lasted one season.There were
originally plans by Galoob to release a Dinosaucers toyline, and
prototype figures were produced; however, the line was scrapped after
the show was canceled. The toys included Stego, Bronto-Thunder, Allo,
Bonehead, Plesio, Quackpot, Ankylo, and Genghis Rex.In 2018, Uslan
joined with publisher Lion Forge Comics to revive Dinosaucers as a
comic book.The show follows the Dinosaucers and their battles against
the evil Tyrannos. Each group is composed of intelligent
anthropomorphic dinosaurs or other prehistoric saurian species. The
Dinosaucers are also allied with four humans known as the Secret
Scouts. The two groups originally come from a planet in a
counter-Earth orbit known as Reptilon. Most of the characters are
named after the type of prehistoric animal they are based on, or some
pun of the name.
