Dino Riders
If you had offered the 11-year-old version of me the choice between a brand new Lamborghini Countach or a brontosaurus wearing an armed battle station I could ride, the decision wouldn’t have taken very long to make. Dino-Riders was yet another short-run animated series designed to introduce a new toy line (from Tyco Toys before it was bought out by Mattel) but the concept was impossible to resist: time-traveling space explorers who end up on prehistoric Earth and turn the local dinosaur population into their new weapons of war. Rolling up to school every morning on a T.rex instead of an Italian supercar was definitely a fantasy of mine.
