Years and years of research into the dinasour gene-pool, finally facilitated a breakthrough... ...when the multinational corporation TyrranoTech, after several attempts successfully extracted Velociraptor DNA from 65-million year old fozzilized T-Rex droppings. They complemented the fragmented DNA with the DNA of modern Emu DNA, and thus brought the Raptor back to life: Not in the form that its hellish creator had originally conceived, but in the form he had intended. As soon as this information got to the attention of the Rentagun, the whole project was shut down immediately, and mysteriously Tyrannotech stocks came tumbling down.

They came up with a new and much improved raptor: Part machine with state of the art computer implants, part raptor with unique killer instincts and part bio-mechanics with ultra rapid healing capabilities... The creature was named The MechanoSaur... For many years the scientist and the press really thought that the project had been discontinued, until strange stories began emerging from the off world outer borders. First-person sightings confirmed that whole platoons of soldiers had been wiped out by a single, awe-inspiring warrior of unknown origin... There were rumors from the off world colonies of soldiers being mutulated and killed by unknown weapons, and also rumors about corpses of foot-troopers being half eaten by some strange entity... These stories were all indications pointing towards the existence of the collaborate skunkworks-beast The MechanoSaur...
