Plot
A prehistoric world set in the Mechazoic era is populated by hybrid reptile-tools called Reptools and hybrid dinosaur-trucks called Dinotrux. Two best friends, Ty Rux, who is a good Tyrannosaurus Trux, and Revvit, who is a Rotilian Reptool, must team up with other inhabitants of the world to defend their community and their work from an evil T-Trux named "D-Structs". Dinotrux and Reptools share a symbiotic relationship. For example, Ty provides Revvit with safety, shelter, and security, and Revvit in turn fixes and maintains Ty when needed.
