Dino Riders!? SDS!?

How could I forget Dino Riders?

There were cartoons, which I don't remember at all, but there are a couple comics up at this site, under toys>comic inserts. plus there are desktop backgrounds like the one below. This is probably the coolest ever.

visuals.

i like the red horizontal boxes and the vertical blue boxes.
