Bronto Thunder

Relationship	Apatty Saurus (Girlfriend)

Bronto Thunder (Voiced by Marvin Goldhar) is a member of the Dinosaucers. He is somewhat naive, a trait that sometimes gets him into trouble or interferes with the missions of the Dinosaucers as a whole.

Bronto Thunder is an evolved Brontosaurus, a genus of gigantic, quadruped sauropod dinosaurs long considered a species of the closely related Apatosaurus. Ironically, his head, though still inaccurate, more closely resembles our modern understanding of the brontosaurus skull than the one considered accurate at the time the show aired.

He is thought to be second-in-command among the Dinosaucers, as he often takes command when Allo is absent or away from Lavadome. Although this is heavily implied, it is nevertheless never directly stated and perhaps no Dinosaucer within the group exerts such a function.

Bronto Thunder in his ship

Bronto Thunder has a girlfriend back on Reptilon named Apatty Saurus. He was a "rep" for a ceramic tile shop before he became a Dinosaucer.

Bronto Thunder's name is an example of tautology, as "Bronto" means "Thunder" in ancient Greek. He is physically considered the strongest of the Dinosaucers and he is the largest of the group.

He can Dinovolve into an 80-foot or 24 meters long brontosaurus. At this form and size, he is the most destructive Dinosaucer, able to trash everything in his path or crush almost anything standing in his way. He also dinovolves to help his friends cross large expanses of terrain when it is inaccessible or too steep for his comrades or to get through situations where only sheer size can help out.

Bronto Thunder, devolved into an apatosaurus

Bronto Thunder's spaceship does not closely resemble a brontosaurus, but it has the unique ability to burrow under the ground. This ability was used in a few episodes.
