## Characters

* Fat Albertosaurus-The main character in the series, he is usually the conscience of the Junkyard Gang. Though very obese, he is an Albertosaurus dinosaur who's athletic and enjoys playing sports. He always wears a red shirt and blue pants. Civic-minded and wise beyond his years, Fat Albertosaurus works hard to maintain integrity in the gang and with others, and is the lead singer as well as bagpipe-accordion (made from a funnel, radiator and an airbag) player in the Junkyard Band and on occasion, plays the bed-spring.
* Mushroom Mack-a slack-jawed simpleton *Brachiosaurus* with big lips. He always wears a red knit hat with a blue scarf and almost always speaks in virtual Ubbi Dubbi, tantamount to an overdose of novocaine in the mouth.
* Dumb-bell Parker-a lanky, dimwitted fellow. He is a *Parasaurolophus* who's Rudy Raptor's best friend. He always wears a green long-sleeved jersey three sizes too big, and a pink stocking knit cap covering his entire face except his crest, eyes and mouth. In the Jurassic Junkyard Band, he plays a trombone made out of a plumbers' pipe and a morning glory horn from an old phonograph.
* Bill speedster Ornithomimus- Like the others, Bill the *Ornithomimus* is a good athlete and enjoys playing sports. However, he spends most of his time trying, often unsuccessfully, to keep his little brother Russell out of trouble. Like Fat Albertosaurus, Bill is often a voice of reason in the gang, although at times a little more stubborn. In the Junkyard Band, he plays homemade drums made from a discarded foot-pedal trash can using spoons for sticks.
* Spike-tailed Russel-Bill's younger pal (based on his real-life brother—whom he often talked about in his routines) and the smallest and youngest of the Junkyard Gang. He is a *Stegosaurus* who always wears a heavy blue jacket, a yellow scarf, red boots, and a dark blue Ushanka winter hat regardless of the weather. Russell has a penchant for making snide remarks and blunt observations (much to his older brother's consternation). Russell frequently criticizes Rudy, reserving his most withering insults for when Rudy is being especially cocky. His catchphrase is "no class." He plays the xylophone in the Jurassic Junkyard Band (made out of empty cans and a discarded coat rack).
* Weird Simon-flappers-is a tall, skinny, beady-eyed *Quetzalcoatlus* (pterosaur) who is one of the tallest one of the Jurassic Junkyard Gang and always wears a gold dress blazer, a brown sock on one foot and a red sock on the other, and is clumsy. In the Jurassic Junkyard Band, he plays a harp made from bed springs, and on occasion plays a "dressmaker dummy" in the percussion section.
* Rudy Raptor-a sharp-dressed, smooth talking, cocky *Velociraptor* whose smart-Alex attitude frequently gets him into trouble. He is Dumb Donald's best friend. Rudy's cocky attitude and dismissive demeanor are often the catalyst for a typical plot's conflict. But inside he has a good heart and usually learns lessons from his mistakes. In the Jurassic Junkyard Band, he plays a makeshift banjo, whose parts include a broomstick handle and sewing-thread spool to hold the strings. However, when shown playing apart from the others, Rudy plays an electric guitar (personalized with a big "R"). He always wears an orange flat cap, a fuchsia vest, a pink turtleneck, purple bell-bottom jeans, and boots.
* Overbite Rex-He's a young *Tyrannosaurus rex*, as his name indicates, has a large overbite. He is a quick and flexible athlete. Bucky plays a stovepipe organ in the Jurassic Junkyard Band.
* 3 River Blockbusters – The Junkyard Gang's main rival when it comes to competing in sports such as baseball and football. The Blockbusters stole the championship in a competition called "buck buck" in the episode "Moving out". However, they have a good side when they help Fat Albertosaurus get out of a junk pile.
* Tricia-an all-new character who happens to be a *Triceratops* with a tough voice, but she's also got a kind and gentle heart.
