Always happy to cause a little chaos in JWE2 in the name of Goji

Ultimasaurus imperatrix was something that cropped up on the fly and helping flesh it as well as the OG variant out was good fun in speculative biology. Often at times when we think hybrids, we kinda default to thinking it must be superior to its components as a gestalt. But, mixing traits rarely works that way. The crux of U.imperatrix was to create an animal that still fit the general shape of the classic Ultimasaurus, but balance out the body type so the components complimented one another. Very proud of how this one came out as the visuals and narration were very on point and really brought it all together.

So, according to the Chaos Effect toy line, the Ultimasaurus was created post the events of Jurassic Park. The hybrids were created because after losing Wu (either due to his death in the book, or because he clearly stopped working for InGen for some time after the events of the first movie), InGen's remaining scientists struggled to restore the lost processes Wu used. With the facilities on the islands essentially lost, they were mostly starting from scratch. Because of this, the best they could do was work with the already present genomes of the currently restored animals by sampling from living animals. The goal was to make animals which were much easier to control, so they tried blending the animals and often under the faulty premise that integrating herbivore DNA, it'd make them more docile and easier to control. It did not work outside of the one which was hybridized with canine DNA. In fact, the most violent members of the Chaos Effect line were all carnivore/herbivore hybrids. Ultimasaurus was supposed to (narratively, at least) have ended up as the most aggressive of the lot, and it was intended to be the size of Tyrannosaurus Rex. The toy sizes actually didn't line up with the actual sizes of the animals. Amargospinus was described to be the size of a Brachiosaurus, and its toy was nowhere near that in scale. Because of its hyper aggression, I don't know if it could function in a social manner, or even attempt to do so. The only animal which had what I'd call a stable and normal psyche was the Ankyloranodon. The Ultimasaurus was the polar opposite of this, with the box being planned to describe the animal as utterly unpredictable. In the end, InGen spent more money on Chaos Effect than perhaps the original Jurassic Park, with the best technology on the planet dedicated to making these animals and the equipment of its men (including exo-skeleton frames and aircraft). Though a couple of designs had promise, the general theme seems to be that it happens around the same time as The Lost World and the arrival of Hammond's team results in the project's failure. Perhaps in large part because InGen hired the same team, but with Dieter Stark having a greater leadership role.. And we know how effective he was. His toy even featured strange tubes connecting into his flesh from his gear and whatever he was injecting himself with had turned his hair stark white (pun intended), so he may have been even more unstable than before. Of note, a baby Ultimasaurus did get released and it was with a heavily equipped Roland Tembo. The Chaos Effect animals never seemed to be described as breeding, so I'm not sure if he was supposed to be its handler, if it was intended to have any kind of special relationship with him, or if it was supposed to represent Roland using the "take a chick to lure the adults" technique. But the relationship with Roland and the Ultimasaurus seems to be important. From there we can pretty clearly tell the Ultimasaurus replaces the Tyrannosaurus Rex's role as the ultimate hunter in the Chaos Effect story. We can further confirm this because two entirely new Tyrannosaur hybrids were developed, resulting in larger and more dangerous versions of the already terrifying Rex. Both the Omega Rex and the Thrasher Rex were repaints of the bull and doe rexes, and both of their boxes describe them as basically the undisputed, most powerful dinosaurs ever. So I suspect the Ultimasaurus, which distinctly never had any kinds of descriptions like that attached to it, might've been bested by the pair in the story had it gone through. Namely since both animals seem to be "top dog", and the two animals are male and female, which to me means they ended up functioning as a non-competing team. Further evidence of this involves the fact that the Omega Rex specifically cites the Ultimasaurus as being able to match it in battle. If that's the case though, then it took two genetically enhanced Tyrannosaurs to defeat the Ultimasaurus. Which at this point is just speculation, but we really don't have a lot to go off of at this point beyond what I've already written out. Which would then mean the Ultimasaurus could probably take on pretty much everything in the JP franchise to date, and probably devastate even the mighty Indominus Rex. Truly, there's never been an InGen dinosaur quite as awe inspiring as the Ultimasaurus, which perhaps best of all of InGen's creations embodies the very concept of Chaos Theory, and the lessons Crichton had hoped to instill in his novel involving mankind and tampering with the infinite complexity of life. Anyway, it seems like maybe you guys weren't quite as familiar with the toyline, so I thought I'd just do an info vomit there in case you ever feel like doing a follow up video on Ultimasaurus! =)

The Ultimasaurs 2.0 seems like it would be a perfect gladiator in the GojiCenter Arena. I think it would awesome if you guys went into a detailed analysis of what would happen if other dinosaurs, like the Indominus, Spino, or Indoraptor encountered the Imperitrix. Or even better, what would happen if the Imperitrix was in the Monsterverse and it fought against something like a Skullcrawler? Or the Whitespikes from The Tomorrow War? I'd love to see a video going in depth on what this thing could do. But one thing in this video makes me wonder. The Ultimasaurus Imperitrix is only 15 percent carnivore. It is mostly made up of herbivorous dinosaurs. So that begs the question, does it behave like an herbivore? Does it eat like an herbivore? Or is the T.Rex in it predominant enough to make it behave and react to threats like a carnivore? It's something that I think would make a good topic for a sequel video. I love the content, guys. Keep it up!!

Happy to have designed the concept art for this! It was truly fun to execute this concept. Love how it's translated into the video!

I love that instead of letting the ultima be a bit of a flop they decided to make a version that could live up to our expectations and I love the creativity they put into this because in our heart of hearts we all know we wanted this thing to dominate

This rendition of Ultimasaurus is a sight to behold, it'd be especially intriguing to see what you have in store for other hybrids such as Indoraptor or Scorpios Rex. Furthermore, nostalgic hybrids such as Stegoceratops, Spinoraptor, or Ankylodocus could probably be improved beyond their original concepts. I appreciate your ideas and would love to grasp what you have in store for future projects, keep up the good work!

Ultimasaurus Imperatrix is a well thought out creature. I especially like the comparison to a bear because this build seems like it would be best suited for scavenging and stealing kills, just like a bear or hyena.

I really like your "remastered" version of the Ultimasaurus. It would definitely be more for difficult for the Indominus to bring down

The Ultimasaurus Imperatrix looks fascinating and terrifying at the same time! Excellent work gentlemen!

6:55 “Jack of all trades master of none” is not an insult. The whole quote is actually ““a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one”

Congrats! You officially have created the ultimate scavenger! I can see it as an omnivore that is capable of intimidating or fighting off a predator that has killed its prey. Since it isn't very fast i would expect it to have this lifestyle since it has great stamina to find where it's next meal would be. Dude is a straight up menace since it would be able to toss any dino without much difficulty. It kinda reminds me of the short faced bear.

Would definitely be interested in seeing your rendition of a refined Indominus Rex, Scorpius Rex or Indoraptor at some point in future.

Real happy to have contributed to this one. Ultimasaurus is one of the relics, per se, of the early stages of the Jurassic Park franchise that was sort of one of the fandom secrets you only heard of in rumors or deep dive discussions. The fact the figure was never released only added to its enigmatic status. At long last it has been brought to life.

The recreation of the Ulimasaurus sounds like a true force of nature. With amazing attributes that can push the Indominus Rex to her upper limit.

Could we get a "10 ways Ultimasaurus Imperatrix could kill you" or something so that we'd see how it'd function in combat and how deadly it is compared to others or even compared to the original Ultimasaurus? I love your video style and they're all so fascinating. I'd definitely be interested in seeing more about this new hybrid.

The one in the game seems to be a lot more realistic, removing the spikes at the tail and making the legs into t rex legs as well as some other small changes, making it more viable

It would be awesome to see more hybrids getting refined to be the best they can be. I would love to see your take on Stegoceratops, either the one from JWE or Jurassic World the Game

the Ultimasaurus looks like it hurts to exist.
