Many other dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles lived on the island, but these four were the only ones with a transforming ability, granted to them by a mysterious meteorite that crashed into the island many years ago.įor many years, this isolated island lay undisturbed and untouched by Minifigkind.įirst, Director Steven Spielbrick and Cameraman Phil Maker traveled to Dinosaur Island while scouting locations for Son of Dino Cop. It is theorized that Dinosaur Island, Adventurers Dino Island, and Adventurers' Island were once part of a single land mass before later breaking off from one another, which would explain why all three islands are a haven to dinosaurs.ĭinosaur Island was ruled by three dinosaurs and a prehistoric reptile, each with the ability to transform into three other species: a Tyrannosaurus Rex (which could transform into an Ouranosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Parasaurolophus), a Styracosaurus (which could transform into a Triceratops, Camarasaurus, and Centrosaurus), a Mosasaurus (which could transform into a Dimentrodon, Postosuchus, and Iguanodon), and a Brachiosaurus (which could transform into a Diplodocus, Plesiosaurus, and Plateosaurus) These four creatures were latter dubbed the "Mesozoic Morphing Monsters" by the LEGO Studios crew. This piece of land broke off the main land mass and became a separate island.
Presumably, approximately sixty-five million years ago, dinosaurs that lived on present-day Dinosaur Island were somehow protected from the mysterious cataclysm that wiped out the dinosaurs from the rest of the world.
