Premise
Millions of years ago, an alien race has taken all the dinosaurs away. Millions of years later, they have returned. In the near future where evil aliens threaten Earth, Armorsaurs follows a group of teenage pilots who are genetically linked to dinosaur companions thanks to the Avian Anomaly they have and are equipped with advanced battle armor.
