Three Plus Two: As with the Ninja Storm Rangers from the previous season, the Dino Thunder Rangers start off as a trio. Tommy Oliver is initially portrayed as mysterious and aloof to the teens. Subverted with Ethan James a Teen Genius who has Instant Armor and Super Strength, though he grows into it through his Character Development. Trent is an artist, which involves use of colors and can change color to blend in with his environment. Kira Ford, an aspiring singer who's unafraid to speak her mind, has a powerful sonic scream. Conner McKnight is an energetic soccer star and has Super Speed. Finally, Trent spent some time as a villain while Cam is a hero from start to finish. Cam is present from the first episode while Trent doesn't show up til the third episode. Both Cam and Trent have family members who serve as the Big Bad but Trent is the adopted son of Mesogog's human alter ego while Cam is the nephew of Lothar. Cam was a sarcastic jerk who showed a nicer side as time went on while Trent is more sensitive and friendly. 
While the Thunder Rangers started out as antagonists, Tommy was a good guy throughout Dino Thunder (though he was also a villain for a time in Mighty Morphin).
Tommy is a single Ranger while the Thunder Rangers were a duo. 
Tommy and Trent are somewhat inversions of the Thunder Rangers and Cam. The original MMPR team where genuinely interested in environmentalism and other activities that benefited their community when they weren't being Rangers. This is best displayed in "The Passion of Conner" in which Conner pretends to be into environmentalism to impress a girl he's attracted to. While the Mighty Morphin team were idealistic and heroic to a rather unrealistic degree, the Dino Thunder Rangers are more believably flawed. While the MMPR team where friends from the beginning the Dino Thunder team never interacted with each other until becoming Rangers. They are also this to the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team. In addition, the Wind Rangers were already friends by the time the season began, while the main trio were not due to being in different cliques, leading to growing pains in the early episodes. The main trio were high school students with no fighting skills or training before becoming Power Rangers, while the Wind Rangers had at least a year of training at the Ninja Academy before becoming Power Rangers. Animal-Motif Team: They are the second dinosaur-based team in the franchise.
