Velociraptors (Vel-os-irap-ters), often simply abbreviated as Raptors, are agile animal dinosaur predators of the Dino Attack and Dino themes.
Version 1, Studios and Jurassic Park III[edit | edit source]
The first version of the Raptor was released in 2001 with the 1370 Raptor Rumble Studio from the Studios subtheme Jurassic Park III. This version was made of common parts.
Version 2, Dino Attack and Dino 2010[edit | edit source]
The second version of the raptor was released in 2005 into the Dino Attack and Dino 2010 themes. The new figure was made of all new parts and came in only black with a yellow underbelly. It consisted of six seperate pieces.
This version of the raptor has heightened senses, great agility and a huge amount of strength, as Raptors can rip Fire Hammers to bits in no time. The creatures emit an energy field that most weapons cannot pass through. One of the few weapons that can hurt a Raptor is the Cosmotronic Ray.
The Raptor was boxed in the 7474 Urban Avenger vs. Raptor set, along with the main vehicle and Shadow. In Europe, the set was released as a Dino 2010 set, the 7295 Dino Buggy Chaser, the weapons being replaced by capture gear.
Version 3, Dino[edit | edit source]
In Dino, an theme released in 2012, the Raptors have been redesigned. Two versions have been released, a brown one and a green one. The brown one is found in the Lego set 5887 Dino Defense HQ.The green one is found in the Lego set 5884 Raptor Chase.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Its tail is made out of rubber.
- The Raptor present in the Dino sets is closer to a Deinonychus in appearance than the much smaller and leaner Velociraptor, however it lacks the feather coat, wings and tail fan which real-life raptors are known to have had. A feathered variation of the Raptor, the Pyroraptor, appears in 76951 Pyroraptor and Dilophosaurus Transport.
- They appear as an enemy in the level "Rapturous Rise" in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
