Whoops! There's so many people online at the moment that I lost your post in the commotion! Sorry Helios.

I mean. Yeah, that's basically the concept we're going for. More or less. As I understood it, the lever is just a way to make opening the jaws easier. The dial would by default be on the form change position on the far left. From there:

--> Dino 1 --> Dino 2 --> Dino 3 --> Dino 4 ---> (Maybe a fifth Dino? I'm not sure we need that many. Can you think of five distinct dinosaurs for each diet class right off the top of your head?) ---> (Far right) combination finisher.

I can come up with five for each class except fort aerial and aquatic. Aerial I can do like 3. Aquatic, maybe 4.

wait I think we're also gonna need dehenshin position for unlocking the stone from the belt (you switch the dial to the desired dino position before putting in the stone so that it locks in place after henshin) so that makes 5

Oh. I guess I didn't count aerial as separate... But I guess technically if aquatic reptiles get the distinction, might as well. I was just gonna throw Pterodactyl or whatever in with the carnivores. :P

You know what? Maybe Aerial should just replace the omnivore form. I can barely come up with one omnivore and I think the one I'm thinking of is already aerial. Haha. :D

EDIT: Jeez. I keep missing posts because I take too long to type this stuff.

I think I said earlier turning the dial all the way to the left would spit out the stone. So between four dinos, the starting position (also deactivation), and the finisher position, that makes six.

Herbivores- Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Brachio/Brontosaurus.


Shale I cover the other types as well?

maybe we could just make it: Land - Sea - Air. plus evolved versions of each ala wizard dragon

That was something relative to what I said earlier, way earlier.

Shoot... I mean Omnivore. *facepalm*

I fixed it in my original post.

Most omnivores didn't develop until after the ice age. If I'm not mistaken.

Okay then.

Although, I do think herbivore and carnivore should really be a distinction, though. A distinction just "land dinos" doesn't really set apart. His first two forms should be Carnivore and Herbivore because they're slightly more simple. Aerial and Aqua come later because I think both of those types include carnivores AND herbivores.

I think those four forms and a final form is good enough. It's not like we have to sell toys here, so maybe we should keep it relatively simple.

Pretty much all Aerial dinosaurs are carnivores, same for aquatic. Only one aquatic comes to mind that's possibly an herbivore.

Maybe there should be a different name for the "Carnivore" form then. Tyranno, Raptor, Spinosaurus, etc. I don't really like the sound of "Bi-pedal" form (lol), but I do think that should starting point.

Base form (whatever we call it), Herbivore, Aerial, and Aqua.

EDIT: Theropods? Isn't that what they are? I suppose to cut down on syllables "Thero Form." Although maybe we can come up with some kind of pun. I dunno. It's an idea. :p

Get ready everyone, I'm going to say it all right here right now:

The belt will be based off of Yuu's design. The default mode is a closed jaw with the lever in. When you pull the lever out, the jaw opens. To henshin you put the amber stone in. And push the lever in and the jaw chomps on the amber stone transforming you into Paleo. The belt has a six mode dial. The default mode for the dial is henshin, so the first time he transforms, he does not have to turn the dial, but if he changes modes he will have to turn the dial back to henshin if it's not already on it. The next four modes are power up modes each based on a dinosaur that fits into the category that the form is based off of. Each dinosaur power up mode gives him an unique ability. The sixth mode is the finisher mode. For the finisher, all the power ups activate at once and the finisher is performed. Whenever changing forms, power ups, or activating finishers, Paleo must first turn the dial to the desired mode and then pull the lever causing the mouth to open. Then push it back in causing the jaw to chomp. Then he will transform, be powered up, or perform a finisher. He has five base modes:

Carnivore: Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Spinosaurus, Allosaurus
Herbivore: Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaur
Omnivore: Oviraptor, Ornithomimosaur, Troodon, Therizinosaurus
Aquatic: Plesiosaurus, Archelon, Megalodon, Kronosaurus
Aerial: Pteranodon, Tapejara, Archaeopteryx, Changyuraptor

Carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, aquatic, and aerial are Paleo's five base forms. The four dinosaur DNAs in each of the 5 ambers are his power ups. To dehenshin, Paleo simply pulls the lever and opens the jaw. Then he takes out the stone and closes the jaw.

I tried reading everyone's posts and being as specific as I can be.

woudn't a better classification be Therapod - Sauropod - Aerial - Aquatic , that way we only have 4 main forms since classifying the first three based on what they eat then the rest be on their habitat is kinda wierd.

we could even add elemental affinities to each Therapod (fire)- Sauropod (Earth)- Aerial (wind/thunder)- Aquatic (water/ice). But that's just me

Wait. Didn't PsychoRanger and I just establish Omnivore is sort of obsolete? And that most Aqua and Aerial are Carnivores anyway? Let's finish addressing those before finalizing all of this.

Actually...

YES. I love this idea. We shouldn't make the elements very prominent, so as not to rip off Wizard in any way. But like... For examplle, the Thero finishers could have fiery undertones and whatnot.

Also, can we please decide each of the specific Dinosaur choices as a group?

What about secondary rider? One based on prehistoric beasts would fit it.

How about like these from Dinosaur King?

http://dinosaurking.wikia.com/wiki/C...ning_Dinosaurs
http://dinosaurking.wikia.com/wiki/C...ater_Dinosaurs

http://dinosaurking.wikia.com/wiki/C...rass_Dinosaurs
http://dinosaurking.wikia.com/wiki/C...arth_Dinosaurs
http://dinosaurking.wikia.com/wiki/C...cret_Dinosaurs

Nah the elements are mostly to define the visual effects of the finishers / Color of the suit much like how Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon is a dark type monster yet attacks with a fire breath.

I love that idea and it can also add visual effects to the suit design as well

If we are going to use Theropods and Sauropods (just a reminder for those who don't know: Sauropods are only the dinosaurs with long neck), why not instead of using aerial and aquatic we use Pterosaurs and Sauropterygians (their scientific definitions)?
Also, follows my list of suggestions for the different ''power change'' dinos:
Theropds: Tyrannosaurus-Utahraptor-Carnotaurus-Spinosaurus
If Sauropods: Argentinosaurus-Saltasaurus-Apatosaurus-Sauroposeidon
If Herbivores: Triceratops-Ankylosaurus-Stegosaurus-Pachycephalosaurus
Pterosaurs: Pteranodon-Pterodactyl-Tapejara-Quetzalcoatlus
Sauropterygians: Elasmosaurus-Kronosaurus-Pliosaurus-Nothosaurus
Omnivores(if we-re doing them, they could be like a ''movie form''):Therezinosaurus-Gallimimus-Deinocheirus-Oviraptor

And about the elements, I like the idea and the distribution of them. The Omnivores could be void.

I thought sauropods are dinosaurs with 4 legs which coincidentally are mostly hervivores

As it turns out terms I was looking for was Bipeds and Quadrupeds

Got my terminology mixed up there lol

Therapod: Tyrannosaurus (Strength), Velociraptor (Speed), Spinosaurus (Blade attack), Allosaurus (Flame attack)
Sauropod: Triceratops (Horn attack), Brachiosaurus (Stretching his body), Stegosaurus (Armor plating), Ankylosaur (Mace/Hammer Attack whic can cause minor earthquakes)
Aquatic: Plesiosaurus (Water Attack), Archelon (Shield), Megalodon (Jaw Attack), Kronosaurus (Various underwater power boosts)
Aerial: Pteranodon (Flight), Tapejara (speed in the air) , Archaeopteryx (Feather Attack), Changyuraptor (Wind Attack)

Therapod, sauropod, aquatic, and aerial will be his four base ambers/forms. The four dinosaurs in each category are his power ups.

The default mode is a closed jaw with the lever in. When you pull the lever out, the jaw opens. To henshin you put the amber stone in. And push the lever in and the jaw chomps on the amber stone transforming you into Paleo. The belt has a six mode dial. The default mode for the dial is henshin, so the first time he transforms, he does not have to turn the dial, but if he changes modes he will have to turn the dial back to henshin if it's not already on it. The next four modes are power up modes each based on a dinosaur that fits into the category that the form is based off of. Each dinosaur power up mode gives him an unique ability. The sixth mode is the finisher mode. For the finisher, all the power ups activate at once and the finisher is performed. Whenever changing forms, power ups, or activating finishers, Paleo must first turn the dial to the desired mode and then pull the lever causing the mouth to open. Then push it back in causing the jaw to chomp. Then he will transform, be powered up, or perform a finisher. To dehenshin, Paleo simply pulls the lever and opens the jaw. Then he takes out the stone and closes the jaw.

Updated it. Please read about the functionality of the belt. The description is for the belt Yuu designed.

Umm..as it turns out the term we were looking for the first 2 were biped and quadruped not the therapod and sauropod I kinda got the terminology mixed up

Also the stego should be a giant 13 bladed broadsword and the plesio a giant plesio head water bazooka the brachio could be a pair of extendable lances (tail and head) triceratops ..a horned shield

The thereapods are biped and the sauropods are quadroped so it still works. Whatbdo you think of the idea though?

No..I looked it up. Sauropods refer to giraffe ones only. Triceratops are called Ceratosomething-something.

Also..I want a 13 bladed broadsword

How about if...

Tyranno: 4 Tyranno-based dinos
Tricera: 4 Tricera-based dinos
Ankylo: 3 Ankylo-based dinos & Stego
Ptera: 4 Ptera-based dinos

Eh. I don't like how limiting that is. Theropod is right for what we're going for though... How bout:

- Thero Form
- Quadro Form
- Aeria Form
- Aqua Form

Also, don't bother to update the functionality with a wall of text again Helios. I think most of us get the idea at this point. Haha. :p

As for the selection of dinosaurs. AGAIN, let's do that together.

Can I make just one suggestion since we're breaking it up to 4 categories?

tbh, I prefer the update frequently over having to go back to a master post, especially since this is an ongoing thing.

better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Alright then. :D

Let's do together. Right now we all agree his forms are based on a category of dinosaurs and specific dinosaurs are his power ups. Let's start off with bipeds or therapods, whatever you want to call them. We all agree the T. Rex is one of them. For the other three we have to decide together. My suggestions for the three are Spinosaurus, Allosaurus, and Velociraptor.

Guess nobody would like my suggestion. Well here it is anyways!!


I think that since we're using these different categories that we should use only 3 dinos for each set. One normal/default for that category, with one for a bulk/strength, and one for speed/stealth.

Since the belt has a dial, it would be weird to have 3 dinos because it would be the henshin mode, finisher mode, and 3 dino modes which equal to five. A 5 pointed dial would be odd looking, but with 4 dinos it could be a 6 pointed dial which makes it a more circular. Also, it'd be better if all the dino power ups could have their own unique power.

I'm just saying what I said because, lets face it, the more they have the less they'll get used.

We all can agree here that this is not going to befome a TV show, this is just a fan project we're all working on for fun. It doesn't matter if it gets used or not.

I know it won't get put into a show. But I'm just one of hose practical thinkers when it comes to design. Despite the fact that I'm one for trying to break the mold. <__<' '>__>

This is our rider and we'll do anything we want with it, so if we want Paleo to use all of his power ups, we will make him. I think everybody here would include all of his power ups if we do a fan fiction. We all put effort into, so why wouldn't we want all the power ups put to use?

for Thero i was thinking Tyrano as the base, Spino, as a kind of blade master, Velociraptor as a speedster, and A Carontaurus as more of a stealth person

Not going to argue Helios. Keep up the work.

I was thinking T. Rex was strength and instead of Carontaurus we could use Allosaurus which would have flame powers. I was thinking the same for Raptor and Spino.
