Flying kaiju

## Summary

### Fireman (TV show)

Tyrasaurus was first seen when he was getting his flight tested in space, but encountered Marineburu during it's first test fly. The Marineburu hits Tyrasaurus' stomach, and he roars in pain. Misaki turns into Fireman and brings the Marineburu with him to Earth, leaving the dinosaur by itself. The dinosaur later comes back to Earth, and is seen sitting down below a cliff, and a little girl is communicating with it. Later, it is revealed by Dr. Mizushima & Alien Barogu that Tyrasaurus was originally a mummified dinosaur remains of the same named dinosaur. Alien Barogu forced Dr. Mizushima to create it, or else he would force him to make the Mizushima-style Atomic Bomb. Dr. Mizushima was also the creator of the robot Tyrasaurus, and like said, he was forced to make it by the alien. However, Dr. Mizushima didn't have fuel to use for it, so the alien gave it a deal to use uranium, but he has to kill humans, and then replace them with androids. This is the 1980 plan planned by the Alien Barogu. The alien shoots the scientist since he said "too much" and activates the controller for Tyrasaurus, but because of one of the S.A.F officers throwing a rock and breaking the control system, it causes the dinosaur to go on a rampage. Misaki transforms into Fireman, and watches Tyrasaurus break the building everyone was in. Fireman attempts to punch but Tyrasaurus pleads to spare him by roaring. Fireman pauses for a moment, then punches Tyrasaurus in the head, causing him to faint. Fireman then jumps to space and releases the robot into the void.

## Characteristics

Tyrasaurus is an apparent dinosaur that lived in the Jurassic period. It has a very mammalian face, and even ears. The back is filled with many small sail-plates. The robot individual that appears in the show has an mixed color area in the middle of the belly, from the Marineburu melting on it, after getting stuck in the belly of Tyrasaurus. He is powered by uranium.

### Trivia

* The fate of the Tyrasaurus (Mecha) is completely unknown, as Fireman just makes it faint, and then releases it into space.
* Tyrasaurus may have been controlled by the little girl android Dr.Mizushima made, as when she was happy, Tyrasaurus seemed to be happy/calm.
* The robot individual was named "Taro" by Dr. Mizushima.
* Although the Official Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Drama DVD Magazine states that Tyrasaurus' horns were added when he was made into an robot and cause the fossil remains doesn't have them, but it is highly likely it does indeed have horns, as it was seen having horns, when the individual was fighting Lanosaurus in the Jurassic period. It's also seen in the manga to have horns, even though the manga individual was not a robot.
* Like Lanosaurus, the name comes from removing a single letter from the name "Tyrannosaurus ティラノサウルス".
* Tyrasaurus uses a modified Barugon roar from the Gamera movies.
