Extreme Dinosaurs

Extreme Dinosaurs is an American animated series produced by DiC Entertainment in 1997 based on a 1996 toy line from Mattel. This show is a spin-off of Street Sharks (where they first appeared as the Dino Vengers). The plot revolves around a group of dinosaurs that survived extinction and were subsequently captured by an extraterrestrial criminal and transformed into mutants to help take over an alien planet. After the dinosaurs rebelled against the criminal they split into two opposing factions: the first, known as the Raptors relentlessly attempts to spark global warming to make Earth's temperature more comfortable for dinosaurs. Meanwhile the other faction, the eponymous Extreme Dinosaurs goes on an all-out effort to thwart Raptors' designs and save the planet. The show is in the same vein as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jurassic Park. Bohbot Entertainment ran Extreme Dinosaurs in syndication where it aired for one season in 1997.
