Open the door / Get on the floor / Everybody walk the Dinoforce

Hailing from Chaar, the Dinoforce (恐竜戦隊 Kyōryū Sentai) has the combined brainpower of a melon. A very, very stupid melon. They are looked down upon by the other Decepticons, most notably the Breastforce, because they're just so darn stupid. Despite being dinosaurs, they are not very strong and resort to combining into Dinoking in a tight spot. The Dinobots they ain't.

Rather uniquely, the Dinoforce's Pretender shells appear to have some level of independent thought; when the Dinoforce aren't merged with them, they can think and act on their own, though usually simply doing whatever they were told to do by their robot masters. In fact, team leader Goryu rides around on the back of his shell rather than within it. Another odd thing is that the Dinoforce rarely—possibly never—seem to convert into their "monster" alternate modes when outside of their shells.

The Dinoforce consist of:

They can combine to form Dinoking.

Clips of the Dinoforce were seen when Shūta Gō and Grand Maximus were talking about the new Supreme Commander Star Saber. Shūta and Grand's Masterforce Super-Secrets!

Victory comic

During the final showdown between the Autobots and Decepticons within Deathsaurus's Space Stronghold, the Dinoforce proved to be of little use against Galaxy Shuttle and the Victories. Eventually, however, Deathsaurus admitted defeat and introduced the Autobots to what he was really fighting for: the Decepticon civilians living in the city atop the Stronghold. With peace at last attained between the two factions, the Dinoforce were joyfully reunited with their precious babies. Heroic! The Victory War

Toys

Victory


  • Dinoking (Multi-pack, 1989)
    • ID number: D-328
The Dinoforce toys share the same robot molds as the Hasbro Pretender Monsters, but their Pretender shells are modeled after dinosaurs with cyborg armor attachments rather than monsters. Each one transforms into a small monster-robot, plus has a third mode as part of the combiner robot Dinoking.
All six members of Dinoforce were available both in individual boxes, and in a complete six-piece gift set. While there are no differences in the toys themselves, the gift set lacks any bio or Tech Spec cards for the individual components, only having cards for the combined mode.

Notes

  • The Dinoforce shells are notable for developing a green patina on the painted-gold portions, as well as a slimy texture over their whole surface over time. What causes this is unknown, but ick. Even previously unopened samples will develop this nastiness. While some water and a little bit of hand-soap should take care of the slime, there's not much to be done about the green discoloration.
  • Note that although "Dinoforce" is spelled out in English on the toy packaging, the group breaks Japanese Transformers convention by not actually being referred to by their English name in the animated series. Instead, they are identified as the "Kyōryū Sentai", literally, the "Dinosaur Squadron". They are not, however, the only Kyōryū Sentai in existence to have dinosaur partners.
  • Despite their comical nature, the Dinoforce are among the few Decepticons that have been seen to kill humans.
  • As opposed to the Pretenders in Super-God Masterforce, the Dinoforce follows a concept that is much closer to the American version in that the robot and the shell can operate as separate units.

Foreign names

  • English: Dinosaur Regiment (Omni Productions dub)
  • Spanish: Batallón de Dinosaurios (America, "Dinosaur Battalion")
