Mesozoic Meltdown[]
Armatus was a Stegosaurus altered by Seth to withstand being equipped with his new stronger version of Spectral Armor, which is permanently affixed to him.
He was first summoned by Foolscap in All for One to assist Ankylosaurus against Ace. Even when Chomp and Paris joined the battle, he and Ankylosaurus were too strong. When Chomp, Ace, and Paris combined their Ultimate Moves, Foolscap recalled both his dinosaurs before the attack could hit them, having been told the location of the Green Cosmos Stone and choosing to abandon the fight. Armatus, Gigas, and Maximus later tried attacking the D-Team and Alpha Gang, but Jonathan rescued them after a cliffhanger.
Armatus and the others were summoned near the end of The Forestfire Effect to attack a Stone Age village and get the Black Cosmos Stone inside a volcano, but he ended up fighting Chomp, who outran Spectral Stinger. In the next episode, however, Brontikens accidentally caused the volcano to erupt, so everyone was recalled. They were later summoned to fight the defecting Seth's Cryolophosaurus, but Armatus was easily avoided and was frozen in place by Blizzard Smash along with Gigas and Maximus.
In Clash for the Cosmos Stones, they caught the D-Team and Alpha Gang in a surprise attack, Armatus using Spectral Stinger to defeat Tank, Spiny, and Ace and wreck the D-Lab. After merging the Cosmos Stones, they were supercharged by the Dark Pterosaur.
In the finale episode, they used their Spectral Moves to attack the D-Team's city. They were called into the Dark Pterosaur to attack the Backlander, Armatus trying to use Spectral Stinger to hit Terry but instead defeating Spiny for a second time when he jumped in the way. After the Pterosaur began protecting the Backlander, Armatus was defeated alongside Maximus by the combined power of Chomp's Lightning Strike, Ace's Sonic Blast, and Paris's Emerald Garden. What happened to his card after that is unclear, but it was probably reclaimed by the D-Team/Alpha Gang.
Trivia[]
- Similar to the other Spectral Dinosaurs, Armatus's name likely came from the first named species of Stegosaurus: S. armatus.
- In his first episode in the dub (73), Armatus's roar is the same as Tuojiangosaurus's, but starting with episode 76, it is changed to a more generic roar used by many herbivorous dinosaurs like Fukuisaurus, Edmontonia, and Lexovisaurus.
- Armatus is the only main dinosaur of the Space Pirate Trio's that doesn't have a "good counterpart" based on species, considering Chomp as Maximus' and Terry as Gigas'.
- Armatus is the only main dinosaur of the Space Pirates that wasn't defeated by an Ultimate Move of the D-Team or the Alpha Gang.
- Armatus is the last dinosaur to defeat Ace this season, in the Clash of the Cosmos Stones.
- Armatus is the only dinosaur in the Space Pirate's trio who wasn't defeated twice.
