Description
The show follows the Dinosaucers and their battles against the evil Tyrannos. Each group is compromised of a race of intelligent, reptillian dinosaur (or a related creature) beings that are more or less evolved forms of the dinosaurs on which they are based. The Dinosaucers have allies of four humans known as the Secret Scouts who are good friends to them and help out. The two groups originally come from a planet known as Reptilon. Most of the characters are named after the type of creature they are based off of, or some pun of the name.
Both groups have a central base of operations. The Dinosaucers' base is called Lava Dome and is located in a mountain area, in a dormant volcano. The Tyrannos' base is located under a tar pit. Each of the groups' members, save for Teryx and Terrible Dactyl, have flying ships to travel around and even do battle with. Most ships actually resemble the personae of their respective owners. Along with their individual ships, both groups have a large mothership of sorts as well.
The Dinosaucers have a special ability to "dinovolve", or transform into the actual creature they are based on. The Tyrannos could not do this, however they could devolve into actual creatures with a special raygun, though doing so would involve a decrease in intelligence.
The Story

Allies to the Dinosaucers
And to stop Genghis Rex and the evil Tyrannos.

Genghis Rex: Well follow them!

Allo is an evolved Allosaurus.
