After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that's sad.

My current one's the Anchiornis, because it's in the same clade as birds so it's in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked very birb-y:

(Figured I'd just turn an earlier comment into an actual post because why not)

My favorite cartoon as a kid had a triceratops at a hero. I don’t remember much about it and can’t find it listed online but it might have been from 1970s and I really just remember the triceratops charging at the bad guys, shooting lasers out of his horns

Herculoids?

I Think you found it! THANK YOU

The name “Herculoids” seems familiar and the Wikipedia description of Tundro is right on!

However the thumbnails don’t seem to be quite the appearance I remembered, but maybe that’s just poor memory

Woo-hoo, go, Tundro

Edit: maybe my memory is conflating multiple shows but this must be part of it. Holy crap, how did I like this? Watching it now, it was so bad

And how did this pedo episode ever air? “Hey kids, come on into my white windowless van. I’ll take you far from here and make your wishes come true”. This could have used a little stranger danger!” Mania, but predates that

Dino Riders?

A triceraton from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Dinosaucers?

Beyond that, not sure what futuristic triceratops there was.
