DINOSAUR WEEK III—The Super Mega-Sized Dinosaur Brawl-For-All

Dinosaurs are a vicious and powerful lot. And what better way to take advantage of that AND entertain us in the process than by pitting some of the craziest, nastiest and most fearsome dinosaurs from across media against each other in the figurative arena!

For Dinosaur Week III, we're bringing back the brawl to end all brawls...the SUPER MEGA-SIZED DINOSAUR BRAWL-FOR-ALL! Just for fun, we've taken dinosaurs from different media and made them go head-to-head in a battle for the ages!

Who will roar in triumph? Who will claw their way to victory? Place your bets coz the ripping and the tearing begins NOW!

DINAH SOAR (Great Lakes Avengers) vs TRICERACHOPS (Super Dinosaur)

Tale of the tape: One is a humanoid pterosaur with a sonic scream, the other is a lithe dinosaur/human hybrid with a big frikkin' axe.

The battle: Dinah Soar is capable of flight, so playing keep-away with her opponent is child's play, but Tricerachops is mightily skilled with the battle-axe that closing the gap on her ranged foe is easy enough. With that said, we can't discount that Tricerachops is trained for deadly force, and she would have no compunctions about dealing with an opponent—permanently.

Winner: TRICERACHOPS

RIPTOR (Killer Instinct) vs SAURON (Primal Rage)

Tale of the tape: One is a genetically engineered raptor fighter, the other is a primordial god of Urth. Both love fighting in an arena for some reason.

The battle: Their fighting game roots could make this an even fight; Riptor has a penchant of unleashing drawn-out combos in quick succession, while Sauron relies on his raw power and ability to withstand damage. But that's as even as it's gonna get, because I don't think even the meanest rapter has a chance against a literal god. One of them is gonna be dinner, and it's Sauron that ordered for blue rare.

Winner: SAURON

FANG (Primal) vs HARMONY (Cavewoman)

Tale of the tape: One is the giant Tyrannosaur companion of a half-naked caveman, the other is a giant Tyrannosaur companion of a half-naked cavewoman. Both have fans for very innocent reasons.

The battle: This is a toss-up. Both Fang and Harmony may be domesticated, but they're still wild animals, not the least powerful and bloodthirsty reptiles. Can Harmony take the first bite of her foe? Or will Fang rip her to pieces? It feels close, but Fang is shown to be the smarter and more cunning of the two. All Fang needs is an opening, and those T-rex teeth will be wet with blood.

Winner: FANG

DEATH SAURER vs TRYPTICON

Tale of the tape: One is a biomechanical dinosaur and one of the most powerful Zoids to ever exist, the other is a titanic and unstoppable Transformer city.

The battle: This will be an interesting fight, the sort of kaiju battle that gets your blood pumping. Trypticon gives smaller Transformers a hard time, and even his arch-rival Metroplex has his hands full with this dinosaur robot. Death Saurer on the other hand lives up to its name as the "Godzilla" of the Zoids universe, capable of untold destruction.

However, Trypticon's power is at the expense of speed, while Death Saurer has an actual finisher move, the Charged Particle Cannon that he can hit out of nowhere. With a target this big, Death Saurer just needs to open fire.

Winner: DEATH SAURER

DINOSAURUS (Invincible) VS GENGHIS REX (Dinosaucers)

Tale of the tape: One is a bloodthirsty and hyperintelligent dinosaur hybrid, the other is a tyrannical alien tyrannosaur with dreams of conquest.

The battle: Okay, we know Genghis Rex as a loud-mouthed, bumbling leader surrounded by literal pea-for-brains, but surely his devolved form (when he turns into an actual T-Rex) would be enough to even the odds? Unfortunately, Dinosaurus is even more intelligent in his dino-form. It would be a walk in a Jurassic Park for Dinosaurus to slash his opponent to smithereens.

Winner: DINOSAURUS

DINOSAUR AVENGERS (Marvel) vs JURASSIC LEAGUE (DC)

Tale of the tape: One is the dinosaur version of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the other is a dinosaur version of The World's Greatest Superheroes. Both are fucking rad holy shit who thinks up this stuff.

The battle: I'll be honest, this one's hard to call. Both teams have the powers of their prime universe counterpart. The Dinosaur Avengers has heavy hitters in Thor, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange, but the Jurassic League has Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Green Lantern.

Will the Jurassic League's prehistoric skills be enough to overcome the Dinosaur Avengers' modern savvy? It's tough. But in the end, there's a reason why they call the Justice League DC Comics' "pantheon." The Justice League are basically gods, and it'll be a slugfest until the Dinosaur Avengers realize they're fighting an uphill battle.

Winner: JURASSIC LEAGUE

REX (We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story) vs REX (Toy Story)

Tale of the tape: One is an actual Tyrannosaurus Rex brought to the future, the other is a plastic Tyrannosaurus Rex made by Mattel.

The battle: You know the rules—bloodlusted, full power, no stopping until one is declared the winner. As much as Rex from Toy Story is a beloved fixture of pop culture, Rex from We're Back! is a full-sized T-Rex that's demonstrated his capability for carnage. One wayward stomp and Toy Story will find itself one toy short of a toybox.

Winner: REX (We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story)
