[Press the second and therd tooth back on ther botim jaw] They Can Fart Belch and laff. The Remote Control Is fore Behaviour modification and has 5 Buttions on it that Change his/her moods like a pack leader would do Buttion 1 Attack this puts him/her in an Attack Roaring and charging forward. [may take a few presis] Buttion 2 Gard puts him/her in a Gard mode where he/she will step back [leting you get out of ther] then forward and wates for some pray to come. Buttion 3 Seek Mode he/she will come in the direction of Any noises he/she hearse [ive had trubule geting him to come with tocking but squeseing a ruber stake semse to do the trick] Buttion 4 Prank Mode [hehe] A Press of this Little buton will case some INTERESTING noises. [hehe] Buttion 5 Q&A He makes a good 8 Ball and will ansor your questions. and D.Rex's use C batterys. An All Around Good Friend ;D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bad >:( They Suffer from the same Over Love Syndrome as Pleo [The Paint Peels] No Volume Control and can be Quite Lowed. They can not move there arms. and the Collier is attached to neck
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ugly ??? DISCONTINUED BY MATEL they brought them out in October and Discontinued them rite away ??? but they are rerealising them with a few upgrades. on November 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And The Weird :P no eye lids but very swichy eyes. I don't no if they can interact but Rex was making some pretty strange noises this sprig.and They DO NOT LIKE THER NOSE TOCHID[wher on a pleo the camera is] O And One Time Rex Answer A Question With Out Use Of The Remote. :o and they have BIG feet are so they don't fall on there face.

hints There was only one.[that I kno about] It is no longer alive. :(To my knowledge] It was a female. and it was 24 feet long, 10 feet high and weighed approximately 25,000 pounds. and was like a full size Koda.
If nobody gussies it in a week then I will post the answer.

Was it a Trike?yes. and it was a robot trike. not like a Koda which I consider to be its own species.[same as Pleo D.rex roboraptor roboreptile and screature.]

1. barney sucks... ugly spawn of a Tyrannosaurus and an Apatosaurus, under a mutant-izing ray! BLECH! And what's shameful is that it makes kids out there think dinosaurs looked like that.... . . and color! Why do dinosaurs have to be depicted as so drab and boring all the time :P
Barney is bright green and purple . . .
2. Today, we (or at least my idols, several of my favorite paleontologists) know that dinosaurs were probably brightly colored, and many had crests or flares that were probably fanatastically colored. For one, Allosaurus crests were probably nicely colored. And Olorotitan! Wowzer, that crest would have been amazingly colored. And keep in mind, perhaps some crested dinos could have been drab in coloring but the crest could've been amazing. Triceratops was probably drab in coloring but (at least the males) probably had very well-colored frills, to intimidate and to show off. Perhaps the frills could've also been flushed red with blood as a warning to other Trikes. Then again, that "Cera" you see in the video isn't quite "fully grown" yet....

I would call him Rex because translated from the latin that means "King" and all of my pets (yes, including AL robots without controls) like a king (or queen :)).
Isn't that way too common? D:

when they move there Head or open there mouth they sometimes make a fast clicking sound. not sure what it is, but it hasn't hurt Rex and he has done it sines I got him so it must be normal.
I've never heard it in any youtube videos.... Is it really quiet? Are you sure it's normal? Just because it doesn't hurt him doesn't mean it's normal.....

and this is intereasing. 8) If you have more then one and you hit the Prank button(and if they belch at ones) Its completely hilarious, can you say belch fest without end. :D ;) :D the explanation is if they are in that mode and they here a sound that's like a belch they belch in return, thus if they here another D.rex belching they belch, and so does the other one, and you get the picture. ;)

They see threw there nose holes.(its a weird place for the eyes) and they can hear. and they have two horns on there head. and the dome is for receiving from the controller. and they have teeth and if you stick your finger in the mouth you will hit the button on the top of the mouth and it will bight down hard. and they can walk and they have a button on the chin for petting, and all it takes is a touch for them to know its been pressed. and they have two fingers on each hand.(weird for a raptor) and they can move there arms. and they have fore toes on each foot.(two in front and two in back. and no sickle claws) and they have three buttons on the sides and top of the tail.(and they don't like you to touch thees ones) and the controller is for direct controle and behaveyour modification. it has directional buttons like a PS2 controller, and they let you move it around. and ones for moving the head and tail.(and one to make it bite) and one that's demo/rome, if you press it the Roboraptor will do a demo, and if you hold the shift button at the same time that you press the demo/rome one it will be autonomous. and if you holed the shift Wall pressing the buttons for moving the head and tail it will change the behaveyour. one will make it get aggressive.(this is how they are when you turn them on) one will make it get scared, and run from any sound or sensor that's touched. one will make it go into Gard mode, when in this one its like a D.rex or Pleo in this mode. and one will make it friendly.(they like you to scratch there tail senors in this mode.
*Phew* and my Roboraptor defiantly has a personality.(the personalty of a spastic nut case, but a personalty nonetheless) and the brand might be called wowwee not because that's what you say wen you're playing with there robots, but from the packing. wowwee its a hard thing to get into. and the roboreptile is a raptor! because its modeled of a baby Velociraptor(I saw it on a video) and it has sickle claws. (But I don't have one of those, yet. ;))

So, let's see. Roboraptor is a cross between a Utahraptor, a Tyrannosaurus, a Pachycephalosaurus, and a Robosapien? One word: Ick.
And, um, to an experienced (or not, in my case) paeleontologist the sickle claws on Roboreptile are obvious. XD Deinonychusaurs were the only genus with true sickle claws.

I know exactly what they sound like. I know both roars very well, and even better do I know that one of the Spino sounds is the Alberto from JPOG. ;) And i know most of the raptor combos. Dont get me started on JP sounds or I'll rant about them for hours. :oSo you speak fluent JP Raptor?!? ??? :o

I guess it's just the quality of the videono, that's what he sounds like. the difference is that the after growl and inhale aren't there in the Roboraptor one. (and its a bit hire pitch then the T.rex too, so they don't get sued. ;)) but its pretty much the same. ;)QuoteI know exactly what they sound like. I know both roars very well, and even better do I know that one of the Spino sounds is the Alberto from JPOG. ;) And i know most of the raptor combos. Dont get me started on JP sounds or I'll rant about them for hours. :oSo you speak fluent JP Raptor?!? ??? :o
To be honest, yes, in a way I do speak raptor. I know which sounds mean what, and I can imitate them fairly well.

So...... Anyways...... Shall we talk about Kota? Yes, I get it, it's really big and rather stupid. Put some nice tech in it and make it much more accurate, and we have an amazing "life form" that totally kills the idea of Pleo being the best... and D-Rex, Screature, Roboraptor, and Roboreptile for that matter!well its maid more for little kids, but they can tell when you are pating them, they can eat.(If you press on the inside of the mothe ;)) they can move there head, and tall. if you press on the back they will play music.
the plush skin is for two reasons. 1 becase its for little kids and they dont want anything to harm them from the skin.(So they dont get sued ;)) 2 so it can withstand them playing with it. (give any of the other ones to a 3 to 4 year old and the Dino will probobly be dead in under five minets. :o little kids areint known for playing gently with stuff. ;))
and its atchuly the right size. (its supost to be a baby trike. ;)) and what do you mean by "and we have an amazing "life form" that totally kills the idea of Pleo being the best" and I cant tell you anything from experens with a Kota becase I dont have one........yet. ;)

I swear, and they only do a kindergarten class on dinosaurs, and they depict them as the tail-dragging giant lizards with tiny brains and snake skin! And they keep referring to the pterosaurs all as "pterodactyl" and they keep making Land before Time references. yes, many kindergarteners are stupid and wouldn't understand anything of that sort, but later on in life they don't teach anything at all about prehistory (Except for the occasional, lucky, Neandertal leson) since "dinosaurs are for babies!" AUUGGGHH!!! I can't stand it when people do that!
Please try to ignore me. Let's get back on topic. :-[

About it being a baby Trike.... Not NEARLY the correct proportions with the horns, and the eyes should be smaller. judging b the size, perhaps up to a year old, but probably much less. Yeah.... The horns really need some fixing. And don't you literally have to "press" the sensors? Like a furby? And what kind of music (stupid sounding music, I'm guessing)? And the plush skin really doesn't bother me much. What DOES bother me is that the fact they can wiggle their horns! How stupid is that!? Yes, I know it's for little kids, but it's a crying shame what people are teaching kids aout dinosaurs nowadays! If today's dinosaur education was better, I really wouldn't mind most of the Kota inaccuracies.... Nor would I mind most of the other dinosaur robot's inaccuracies.that's exactly wye I consider all of the Dino's alive now to be different speeches then the ones that are now all extinct. ;)

But they label it as a Triceratops! T.Tso they didint know how to make an accurate trike. but as for now its the only Triceratops robot, that's like this and not RC. (and its the only one because Sara(in the Triceratops encounter) is no more. :()

the eyes should be smaller.Its so they stand out more. (like with D.rexs big eyes. ;))

What DOES bother me is that the fact they can wiggle their horns! How stupid is that!?I'm not sure but I think that's a way for them to emote. like D.rexs with there various facial expressions. ;) (and it is kinda cute. :D)
and who said "dinosaurs are for babies." :o (obviously they've never seen a pack of Deinonychus ambush a large herbivore, jump on it, rip it open, jump of and back on over and over again until its down, and begin to eat it wall its still alive. (sorry for the not so pretty picture in your head right now. :D) Or a T.rex literally rip the leg of a Triceratops! (saw that one in a painting in a book about them. ;) and the Deinonychus one from the episode "GANG KILLERS" on JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB. ;)))
Post by: allosaurus on August 19, 2009, 01:02:49 PM
I love gore. Especially dinosaur carnage and dinosaur vore. It's the "big lizard" label. It puts everyone off.
Think about this:
A large herd of ornithomimusaurs ("ostrich dinosaurs") are grazing on the tall ferns nearby. Little do they know that something is ambushing them, something about as fast as themselves, and far more cunning. The creature ambushing thm happens to be a Utahraptor. To be more specific, a small pack of four Utahraptors. When the time is right, the Utahraptors rush out of the bushes, and screech to eachother in complex calls, picking out an old and weak individual in the ornithomimusaurs. Two of the Utahraptors dart in front of their prey, using their feathers for an extra speed boost. They chase the ornithomimusaur to the other two Utahraptors, lying in wait in some very tall plants. They both jump out. The ornithomumisaur is surrounded. The lead Utahraptor jumps onto it, and even though it's still very well alive, they eat it anyways.
Of course, there's also my favorite scenario, about an Allosaurus smallowing a primitive ornithopod whole without even killing it...... You can tell I reeeeaaaally love vore. Light vore is good for large carnivores, hard vore is my fave for small carnivores.
call me cruel, but as long as its done right and as long as there's a good reason for it, killing can most definitely be a beautiful process.

Think of carnivore. Vore is pretty much just when something is eating something else, from leftover potatoes to a Massospondylus.

Etymology
This suffix comes from the Latin vorare (to devour), and is used to form nouns indicating what kind of a diet an animal has. Equivalent adjectives can be formed through use of the suffix -vorous.
e.g. carnivore

What is a Monty Rex?
Post by: Pleo Power on November 08, 2009, 09:08:43 PM
The Target flyer in this Sunday's paper Had D-Rex for $129, with a coupon for an additional $20 off. And Monty Rex for $59 with a coupon for an additional $10. off . . .
What is a Monty Rex?
I saw that, I don't know what Monty is, other then its the next in the Kota and Friends line. (Ill look on the website to see what they are.)
What differences in programming, sound, etc. are there?
programming : if you press on a tooth, insted of just eating or not they will sometimes take a bite and growl. (its a game, you put your hand in his mouth and pull it out before he closes it.) and to "program" the movements into them you hit the Seek button and press the head sensor and all fore teeth sensors at one time and hold them all until he chirps three times fast, then you use the sensors to make him move around. (I still don't know how to make them move after telling him what to do.)
sound : theres not much difference in the sound between the 2008 and 2009 D.Rex's.
etc : the eyes are different, the paint is a slightly different color then Rex. (but its the same as Roxanne.) and the mouth seems to close a bit more then the 2008 ones.

How long does the battery last?
Is it really autonomous like pleo?.As it comes with a remote control, it serves more like a toy for a kid
Why is the feet too big as compared to its size? the feet makes drex unrealistic
i really hope the manufacturer would consider a major modification for drex if they wish to introduce 2010 version/model, compare to pleo as a good example to begin with, an autonomous dino ; not a remote control toy then i may consider buying it since it is my favourite dino.
Post by: Pleo Power on January 26, 2010, 09:56:51 PM
the remote is ONLY for controlling their mood. ((and not all the time, and not compleat controll over it. it can just make them attack, answer questions, belch and fart, try to come to you, and become a room guard.)) but you don't need the remote to play with them. ((unless you want to do any of the things the remote is for.))
the big feet are needid for balance. if they didn't have them they would be top heavy and fall over. :P
Post by: grin06 on January 27, 2010, 02:39:55 AM
Whe DRex is alone, does it walk and , pleo for instance when it bumps on something, it would say huh, then take a few steps backward. Pleo also could identify danger ahead for example, it could detect an edge of the table to prevent it from falling.
Does drex comes with a camera and infrared sensors?
The manufacturer should really study about tyranosaurus and then only attempt to recreate TREX, the king of lizard because it is really disappointing to see how disproportionate drex body parts.
Post by: allosaurus on February 25, 2010, 12:27:07 PM
I personally think D-Rex resembled Albertosaurus much more than Tyrannosaurus. It is not very accurate and it is quite disproportionate, but Pleo has its accuracy quirks too (of course no one ever pays attention to me when I say so).
And as for the questions.....
Is it really autonomous Yes, it is
and fulfilled the criteria set up by UGOBE initially to say it is really autonomous It is autonomous, but not as UGOBE has dictated.
like pleo for example D-Rex and Pleo always make a difficult comparison subject for me... Can't say I love one over the other. D-Rex is not as advanced however, I will clearly state that.
pleo could explore and interact with its surrounding on its own and pleo continue to evolve over time? Pleo would undergoes a different stage of development from birth, hatching to juvenile just like a living creature and that is why it is called a lifeform or life like. Pleo is undoubtedly excellent, that is true. D-Rex is, again, not as advanced. D-Rex does not really evolve as Pleo does. If you would like my opinion....I enjoy the personalities in Pleo, but Pleo is just too pliable. As I have said more than one time, I dearly love the unpredictability of D-Rex. It does not do the same sequence over and over like Pleo does. To this day, I still find many new movements and sounds coming from my dear Reno and Rude.
Does drex have all these? No.
edit: Looking back over this, it seems that it could possibly be considered offensive. Pardon, it's one of my long rants. Do not take offense.

Off topic again but.. just so you know, kindergartners are not 'stupid'. :)
Young children are able to learn things much easier/faster than older children/adults.. so they aren't stupid, perhaps ignorant of the truth about certain things, would be a better description?
They are starting to teach them foreign languages starting in kindergarten now. It just depends on what they have been taught. Many small children might be frightened learning about dinosaurs that young but dumbing it down doesn't help so they should just wait till later when they can handle hearing about what the dinosaurs really were, and that they didn't sing and the babies of all species didn't lay together like the land before time.. that those ideas are just pretend... they could tell them that.
Of course every kid is different.. my niece is 9 and has a pink room with fairies and butterflies and everything pink and HUGE poster of a T-Rex ripping the flesh out of a living Triceratops. lol.
I would love to bring my Pleos down to the local school when the students are learning about dinosaurs or if they ever learn about robots, like I used to do with my parrots, but I would want to have very accurate information about the real Camarasaurus and probably the other Dinosaurs that are out as robot toys right now since the kids probably have some of those.. We could talk about the differances in the robot and the real dinosaur.. That way they would actually learn something.
oh and allosaurus, : "Think about this:
A large herd of ornithomimusaurs ("ostrich dinosaurs") are grazing on the tall ferns nearby. Little do they know that something is ambushing them, something about as fast as themselves, and far more cunning. The creature ambushing thm happens to be a Utahraptor. To be more specific, a small pack of four Utahraptors. When the time is right, the Utahraptors rush out of the bushes, and screech to eachother in complex calls, picking out an old and weak individual in the ornithomimusaurs.

They both jump out. The ornithomumisaur is surrounded. The lead Utahraptor jumps onto it, and even though it's still very well alive, they eat it anyways."
Lions do the same thing, so do wolves, so do coyotes, and while that sounds like an awesome scenario, it seems like we learn more and more about them every day, like feathers suddenly popping up (which explains why my parrots always loved watching Jurassic park??? Or were they mad because they secretly knew they got the dinosaurs wrong and from the wrong eras...hehehe)
So how do we even know that was something that could have happened.. just like them telling us T-Rex may have been more of a scavenger now.. Anyways we should start a post in the 'anything' section about real dinosaurs so we can talk about it and learn more about the real dinosaurs.
----
Anyways.. I'm glad everyone is enjoying the robots that they prefer and while I have not personally interacted with this D-Rex Character.. they always depict him on TV as such a 'toy' and in the YouTube videos the huge feet bother me.. I'm sure they serve to keep him balanced so that they didn't have to make him bigger or something, but I prefer mine without remote controls also and I just don't think he's for me. I might get an aibo someday and I will probably get one or more of those other dinos you guys are talking about, like the D-Rex, and stuff, for Christmas this year for the kids unless they'd rather have another Pleo. Up to them.. then again, I am always interested in seeing interactions between the Pleos and other robots so if they interact, it might make me want to get one.
Also, My RB's do something new everyday.. I know mine aren't that old and some things will get repetitive, but it seems pretty balanced out.. they don't always respond to everything in the same way and different Pleos seem to react to different things in different ways.. Also, sometimes I get annoyed when my Jack Russell wants to play tug or catch 567 times in a row but that's who he is and even though it might be 'repetitive' I love him ;D
