Line 31:
* An episode of ''[[Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs]]'' took place on a planet populated by dinosaurs. The episode was titled [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"Oh Boy! Dinosaurs!"]], appropriately enough.
* ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'' has dinosaurs on a few of the planets, which are inexplicably identical to various species that once roamed the Earth. The level of dinosaurs a planet has is actually a pretty good way to measure its age. The young planet Juno has quite a few, although they're now threatened by humans and other introduced mammal species; the older Delta Belune also has dinosaurs, but they're small and birdlike; Kallamity, supposedly the oldest inhabitable planet, doesn't seem to have any dinos at all.
* In ''[[
* ''[[Dinosaur King]]'' isn't a strict example as it's focused completely on dinosaurs, not just throwing them in for [[Rule of Cool]]. But consider this: In Japan it was preceded by an insect-battling game called ''Mushi King''. Then the designers sat down to plan a spinoff and asked themselves "What's better than insects?" before concluding that [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs]].
* ''[[Getter Robo]]''. Just... Getter Robo. If there's room for a dinosaur at any given time, then they '''will''' be there. And it will be [[Holy Shit Quotient|awesome]].

** They made a miniature of a Fiendish T-Rex. As if a T-rex wasn't enough, they slapped the Fiendish template on it.
* ''[[Exalted]]'', being a setting whose content is decided entirely by [[Rule of Cool]] and [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]], has gigantic "Tyrant Lizards" that look remarkably like ''T. rex'''es. Presumably due to ''Tyrannosaurus'' being Latin for "Tyrant Lizard". It also has the [[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|Dragon Kings]], which are roughly human-sized sentient dinosaurs who wear armor, can learn to breathe fire, and have enormous crystal clubs with laser blades to hit you with if you piss them off.
* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' Fantasy's Lizardmen are a dinosaur race, their basic troops being "Saurus" and them using "Stegadons" and "Carnosaurs" as mounts and war engines. There are also "Cold Ones," Velociraptor-like things used by the Lizardmen and Dark Elves for cavalry. The beasts eat everything, so the Dark Elves cover themselves in poison to fool the lizards.
** The Cold Ones are mentioned (literally or metaphorically) to be dragon-kin...the ones the Dark Elves use also are subterranean, can live in the cold climate of the Dark Elves' territory, and, IIRC, sweat poisonous goo, which might make them more of a freaky lizard-horse than a dinosaur.
* A lot of [[Death World|Death Worlds]] in ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' are covered in dinosaur-esque creatures, and the Tyranids themselves are also somewhat dinosaur-y, at least in terms of teeth - the Termagaunts, especially, look like an odd cross between Armadillos, Zerg Hydralisks and ''Velociraptors''.
