What’s worse than an invasion of extraterrestrial dinosaurs? Robotic alien dinosaurs. As imagined in their concept album Dinosaur Planet, the band MJ Hibbett & The Validators envisions mechanically augmented dinosaurs returning to Earth to reclaim their home after a 65 million year absence. And as the theme song makes clear, the descendants of Stegosaurus and kin are not very keen on resolving things peacefully. A cyborg Allosaurus isn’t very interested in kissing and making up, and I’m not sure I’d trust one even if it wanted to.
Hat-tip to io9 for digging this up.
