Anime

Dinosaur King

Laura first activated Terry to scare Dr. Z and Ed for fun. He is the most powerful of the main three Alpha Gang dinosaurs, he's a dangerous opponent, actually proving to be stronger than the D-Teams main dinosaurs. When in his chibi form, Terry enjoys nibbling on Dr. Z's beard.

He is primarily used by Ursula, and is the Alpha Gang's most-used dinosaur, defeating a number of other dinosaurs, though also being beaten his fair share of times. However, he, like the Alpha Gang's other dinosaurs, seemed to be more effective under Rod and Laura's control than the A-Team's.

In Dinosaur War!, he was summoned by Dr. Z, but his Alpha Scanner quickly fell into Dr. Taylor's possession, who used him to help defeat Seth's Black T-Rex.

Mesozoic Meltdown

Dr Z. first activated him during Alien Parent Trap in the Cretaceous Period to capture wild dinosaurs, he almost defeated Chomp by Volcano Burst, but he was defeated by Chomp and the help of an Ampelosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Styracosaurus.

He was uses several times after that by the Alpha Gang, though rarely to good effect, except when fighting Edmontonia.

In the finale, he used Magma Blaster in a Fusion Move to break the outer shield of the Dark Pterosaur, and when Maximus and Armatus used their Sprectral move against him, be was saved by Spiny and Tank, but was defeated along with Gigas when their attacks (Ultimate Fire and Spectral Lancer) collided.

Character Design

Name

Terry's Japanese name, Tirano is an allusion to his actual genus name "Tyrannosaurus", however in Japan's alphabet the letter "Y" is absent and is replaced with a "I". Tirano also means 'Tyrant' in Spanish.

Personality

He doesn't seem to be particularly close to any of the Alpha Gang, though like the other dinosaurs is shown to like Rod and Laura better than the A-Team. He has a strong rivalry with Chomp. He is mostly used by Ursula, Dr. Z, or Rod.

Trivia

• His transformation sequence is different from the others because he begins by standing on the ground with the camera zooming out as opposed to floating forward towards the camera before turning and spinning upwards.
• Unlike the other main dinosaurs, Terry is the only one that does not fight any of his relatives from the tyrannosaurid family, although he fought Black Tyrannosaurus and Gigas, the two altered Tyrannosauruses that appeared in the anime.
• Terry's first Move Card, Volcano Burst, was not called by its actual name in the English dub during its first usage.
• Terry's Japanese name oddly means "Dinosaur".
• Like the stereotypical T. rex, Terry has a strong rivalry with the Triceratops of the series, Chomp.
• Unlike Spiny, Terry is shown to be good in combat, as observed in many of his fights with the D-Team's dinosaurs.
• Alongside Chomp, Ace, and Paris, Terry is the most popular character in Dinosaur King where as it goes so far as to appearing on merchandise unrelated to the series itself (seen in Gallery).
• Terry is the dinosaur with the most number of different dinosaur defeats in Season 1, which is 14, followed by Chomp who has 13.
• Terry is the only Alpha Gang dinosaur to defeat all three of the D-Team's main dinosaurs without assistance, also the only one of the 3 to defeat one of the Space Pirates' main dinosaurs without assistance (although he was defeated at the same time).
• While normally in his chibi form, Terry is shown to have 4 teeth, but in his transformation his chibi is shown to have more teeth.
• Terry is the only dinosaur whose DinoTector Armor color does not match with his Element color (in his case, Fire is represented as red, but Terry's armor is orange, and can appear yellowish when glowing, though all three colors can be seen in actual fire).
