Also - as enemies - if the Shaman was able to cast a hibernation spell on them, why didn't he eliminate them then and there? Not to mention, where does the whole "extinction" aspect play into it all if surviving the meteor played no part in their timeline? Lastly, killing the shaman off so early also leaves no connection to the magic of the Extinct and the magic of the Driver if he has no part in it's creation. I'm completely open to alterations and big changes to the idea I proposed initially, but that just sounds less simple, makes less sense, and causes way too many plot holes.

Phew. Rant over. I just had to throw that out there. Again, I do think the backstory barely matters here and the design of our fan-created rider is the most important part. So continue with what you're doing now. I don't mean to backtrack things.

I think we could go woth the chips idea only instead of them having a fossil piece on them have them have the DNA sequence of a specific dino programmed into it.

I'm in no way suggesting in any way crystals or gems or eggs or... Whatever exactly it looks like is pictured here.

The only thing from this sketch you should consider is the Dino Skull motif. Everything else is just random visualization.

Whatever the form change collectible ends up being (I'd thought about Dinosaur figurines that fold up like ranger keys... only without the key part) would slot in and the skull would chomp down to initiate the transformation. In this sketch the jewel would slide in to the open cavity on the other side of the belt, but you can ignore that entirely if you want. Honestly as I was sketching this I started to lose interest in the idea of a gem or stone... thing. But oh well.

MS Paint FTW.

I really like it, but let's just do the collectible device and we'll get back to the picture. Earlier I was suggesting the idea of Amber stones and those can work in that. I think cards or chips could work in that also. What do you guys think of my idea, Amber stones. For example the ones that mosquitoes get stuck in. Maybe they could the DNA of different dinosaurs.

The mosquito in amber from Jurassic Park was the reason I colored the stone orange in that picture. :P
