TyrannoMax Theme Song (Season 1)

TyrannoMax and the Warriors of the Core (or TyrannoMax and the Heroes of the Core if you're from the UK) from Buzby-Spurlock Animation is a forgotten 80s gem, based on the comics from Cocytus Comics.

The cartoon emphasized Dr. Underfang as a primary antagonist, re-contextualizing most of the side-villains as his minions or creations directly. The 'Fossilized Time' origin was simplified into a hollow earth accessed via portals, and a lot was obviously softened for kids TV, particularly DeinoSteve.

It also where a lot of the iconic aspects of the film came from. The Dinoid society already had high-tech devices when the toon starts, where in the comics TriceraBruce invented their gadgets by reverse-engineering human and Ultramerican tech. Wally is in high school instead of being college age and Bobby is a regular member of the cast along with Max's show-original little cousin Wrexy.

The scads of toy-based characters go without saying.

Like most Buzby-Spurlock productions, TyrannoMax is largely lost media. This comes down mainly to the company's legal troubles in the 90s preventing official release. Here's hoping the new buyout means re-release.

"Warriors of the Core, lets hear that roar!"

Screencap is three individual multi-gen composites and overpaintings with extensive photomanipulation. The song was generated with SunoAI.

Combining character reference and the new nijijourney personalization style ( my code used here is --p p6grcgq) to make some DeinoSteves. Unmodified gens presented to demonstrate "First draft" results.

Verdict: Promising.
