Dino-Riders was created to promote a line of toys by Tyco. The show revolved around the superhuman Valorians and the humanoid Rulons, who get transported through time to the age of the dinosaurs. On prehistoric Earth, the Rulons brainwash the dinosaurs to continue their mission of destruction. The Valorians call themselves the Dino-Riders. They befriend the dinosaurs using telepathy to help defeat the Rulons.
Despite the success of the toys, Dino-Riders had a short time on television. Only 14 episodes of the series were made in 1988.
