OVA

There were five promotional CGI-only Original video animation episodes released, the first four were sold with the initial Dinozone toys in Japan. Dino Tyranno came with an episode entitled "Revive, Dinosoldier", while Gigano Dragon came with a video called "Gigano Dragon Strikes Back!!". A third featuring the Cerazaur Brothers was sold with Dinostyras. A fourth OVA was released with Nightwing. A final fifth OVA was given only to subscribers of Televi Magazine and Comic Bom Bom. The pilot was dubbed into English and released in the US on a VHS available as a special offer with the toys in 2000. The voices used in the pilot were different than the cast for the series, as Saban were not involved in the dubbing of the pilot.

TV Plot

It has been 65,000,000 years since the Dino Knights had last defeated the Dragozaurs. When the Dragozaurs returned, a boy named Kaito has reawakened the Dino Knights. The battle between the Dino Knights and the Dragozaurs begins once again as the Dino Knights prevent the Dragozaurs from stealing Earth's life force.

Characters

There are three different races in this series: Dino Knights, Dragozaurs, and Humans:

Dino Knights

When the Dragozaurs first attacked, the planet chose prehistoric animals to fight them, converting them into Dino Knights (ダイノソルジャー Dinosoldiers?). Normally fossilized, a Dino Knight can assume a more metallic form when re-animated. The saying to power up the Dino Knights with the Dino Daggers is "Take this, the power of righteousness, righteous armour, the justice headband. Equip!".

Principal Dino Knights

The main Dino Knights reside in the Dinotarium.

Cerazaur Brothers

The Cerazaur Brothers are three Dino Knights that were found by Rick. By the command "Triblade fusion! Integrate!", they can combine to form Dino Triblades (大剣者トリブレードス Daikensha Toriburēdos, Great Swordsman Triblades?) who wields the Quadruple Fossil Star Sword.

Dino Weapons

The Dino Weapons (ウェポンザウルス・ダイノアームズ Weponsaurusu Daino Āmusu, Weaponsaurus DinoArms?) are Dino Knights that can become weapons outside of their dinosaur and warrior forms and attach to any Dino Knight. They were found on a strange island in a weird state and were nearly abducted by Gomez. Once Dino Tyranno and Dino Brachio got the three to remember their secret identities, they helped Dino Tyranno and Dino Brachio fend off the Drago Clones and the Dragozaurs.

Others

Dragozaurs

The Dragozaurs (デスイーター Desu Ītā, Death Eaters?) are an alien race that feed off of a planet's life force causing the planet to be life-less and in ruins. The Dragozaurs are:

Drago Clones

Created by Diamond Ryugu, the Drago Clones (シャドーウォリアー Shadō Woriā, Shadow Warriors?) were as powerful as their counterparts in the main Dino Knights.
