Dinoforce
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dinoforce, also known as kyoryu sentai ("Dinosaur Force") in Japan, was a group of Decepticon Pretenders under the command of Deszaras. Unique to the Dinoforce is their Pretender shells sentience; when the members of the Dinoforce are not merged with their Pretender shells, the shells can think and act on their own. This is most obvious when Goryu rides around on his dinosaur counterpart. Also the shells were fully transformable even though the Dinoforce themselves were never shown to transform. The six robots combine into Dinoking.
The members are:
- Goryu (Tyrannosaurus Rex, leader)
- Kakuryu (Triceratops)
- Rairyu (Pteradactyl)
- Doryu (Stegosaurus)
- Yokuryu (Apatosaurus)
- Gairyu (Ankylosaurus)

[edit] Transformers: Victory
One of Deszaras' longest-serving units, the Dinoforce's actions appear to served no purpose other than random destruction and civilian deaths. However, the Dinoforce often served as the show's comic relief, being portrayed as bumbling next to the efficient Breast Force.
As a result of Deszaras' plans to destroy the Earth by using a powerful space fortress, a meteorite hit the Earth near Dinoking and damaging him greatly. Forcibly separated the individual units were captured and repaired by the Autobots. In exchange, the Dinoforce gave information about the space fortress' weaknesses. Armed with this knowledge, Star Saber and Victory Leo destroyed the space fortress and defeated the Decepticons guarding it.
The Dinoforce was last seen in retirement from combat. When they were last seen, it appeared they were doing some sort of construction work. Kakuryu's Pretender shell was seen playing with some children.
[edit] Monster Pretenders
Their North American and European counterparts are known as the Monster Pretenders, and they came with different Pretender shells (and monster alternate modes). Together, the six interior robots could combine into Monstructor.
