A
cartoon from the
80s starring
evolved Dinosaurs from the planet
Reptilon. It was rather
cheesy, but has nostalgic value to me because I was
addicted to it as a
kid in
fifth grade. Some of the characters are
Allo,
Demetro,
Brontothunder,
Teryx,
Bonehead, and
Tricero. They battled the
Tyranos, which comprised of
Genghis Rex,
Plesio,
Ancarlo, and
Brachio, to name a few. It was produced by
Coca-Cola Telecommunications (Huh? They produced TV shows? I thought they just made
soda) and was on the air around
1987.
The premise was simple; the Dinosaucers were having problems with volcanic activity on their home planet, Reptilon, so they decided to fly to Earth for help. Earth and Reptilon are on exact opposite sides of the Sun, which is why Earthlings never detected Reptilon.
The Tyranos decided to follow the Dinosaucers to their new destination, and began reaking havoc. After all, it would be a lot easier for them to take over the Earth with its "puny mammals" than Reptilon, so it was a good starting point. The Dinosaucers are therefore forced to remain on Earth to protect it from the Tyranos' hijinks.
Along the way, the Dinosaucers meet four teenage humans who are given fancy vehicles, communicator rings, and are declared to be the "Secret Scouts". They assist the Dinosaucers in keeping tabs on the Tyranos, and have their share of fun, too.
