 I think we should add what type of dinosaur is it based off, but i'm certainly not a dinosaur guy so i don't know. As a firearm guy (i don't own gund don't worry) i'm offended at the fact that that isn't a bazooka and more like a cannon. [[Special:Contributions/45.178.0.39|45.178.0.39]] 16:47, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
 : I tried looking for examples (I'm sure I've read multiple such - not just a single dinosaur) but the only results I was getting back were about Pokémon fossils, which wasn't exactly helpful... [[Special:Contributions/82.13.184.33|82.13.184.33]] 16:54, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

	This comic might be a reference to Dino-Riders: an old toy line with weaponized dinosaurs. The Bazookasaurus reminds me of the Protoceratops with lazers monted on its back. But it also might be a coincidence (looking back at pictures, it's not that close).

		+
		+	Honestly, I first thought of Genesect (a fossilized Pokémon with a cannon on its back). There are a couple of differences between the Mon and the dinosaur in this comic, including that Genesect is a bug and that the cannon is stated to be fully functional (although rarely used). Is it relevant enough to go in the main description? [[Special:Contributions/50.144.171.106\|50.144.171.106]] 19:22, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

 :Despite the "Bazookausaurus" name, the structure is not actually referred to as a bazooka, only a "weapon". It might have been named by a paleontologist who didn't have much experience with the specific names of heavy weaponry, and the species' name could plausibly stay the same even after it became clear that the weapon wasn't actually a bazooka.
