And personally, I've never had any real big complaints with Jurassic Park's portrayal of dinosaurs, mostly because I always assumed it was because they were mutants (frog DNA and whatnot).

I never had much issues with the movies. Dispite innacuracies, I love them. And they were a lot of peoples first excposure to what dinosaurs could really be like.

I've often wondered that too. Maybe the designers were aware of the debates going on in the scientific community at the time and decided to hedge their bets, as it were.

As for MP Grimmy, his dino mode was based solely on the cartoon's portrayal, so that's why he looks like the long-lost little brother of Mechagodzilla.

Yeah, I understand exactly why MP Grimlock has his godzilla-mode. Doesn't mean I like it though.
Takara's obcession over a very bad 80s cartoon is one of the reasons I've come to hate the sunbow cartoon as much as I do.
