Cut JPOG Dinosaurs

As you all may know Wuerhosaurus is in the Early Cretaceous creature pack, some may not know this but the Wuerho was one of 7 dinosaurs that were originally supposed to be in JPOG, but were sadly cut from the game, since Wuerhosaurus has finallly gotten into JWE2, there may still be a chance that these other dinos can make it in as well, let's look at them shall we....

Yangchuanosaurus - This dinosaur is a theropod that lived in China from the middle to late Jurassic, 168.3 - 157 MYA, it is the larger and more well-known cousin of the Metriacanthosaurus. If added to JWE2 its fossils would be found in the same digsite as the Chungkingosaurus and Mamenchisaurus. It would be close in size to some of the larger theropod dinosaurs.

Tenontosaurus - Tenontosaurus, a dinosaur that needs no introduction, but still Tenontosaurus is an iguanodontian dinosaur like Dryosaurus, Iguanodon, Ouranosaurus, and Muttaburrasaurus. This dinosaur is from the late Cretaceous of North America, 115 - 108 MYA, it has been found in many formations, but is most well-known for living alongside species like Acrocanthosaurus, Deinonychus, and Sauropelta. It is also known for its long tail.

Panoplosaurus - Panoplosaurus is a nodosaurid that lived in North America during the late Cretaceous. Its fossils have been found in digsites like the Dinosaur Park Formation from Alberta, Canada and its fossils have also been found Texas in the Aguja Formation. Panoplosaurus would look different enough from the other nodosaurid species in JWE2, because of its unique armor placement.

Ornithomimus - A dinosaur that is the namesake of its family which also includes the likes of Gallimimus, Struthiomimus, and Archaeornithomimus, Now it wouldn't bring anything new to the table due to it being another ornithomimid, but if Frontier were to add this species to JWE2, they could possibly do something to differentiate it from the other "bird mimics", maybe a small amount of feathers on its back or something. Its fossils could be excavated from the Denver Formation in Colorado, and the Horseshoe Canyon Formation.

Alioramus - A slightly, better known cousin of the Qianzhousaurus, hailing from late Cretaceous Mongolia in the Nemegt Formation. Similar in size to Qianzhousaurus, the only way I could see of differentiating these two would maybe make Alioramus as tad thicker than Qianzhou or give it some small spines like seen on Allosaurus or Giganotosaurus. Its fossils would be found in the aformentioned Nemegt Formation.

Thescelosaurus - A member of thescelosauridae from late Cretaceous North America, its fossils are known to have been found in the Hell Creek Formation, the same formation that houses Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, etc. This small herbivore would be unique as it is a thescelosaur, which none are in the game, the small herbivores currently consists of only ornithomimids, Dryosaurus, and pachycephalosaurs, so to add a little more diversity to the small herbivores.
 
Unless they put in feathers after Dominion premieres, I don't think that this game needs any more ornithomimids. They all already look too similar to one another, and it doesn't look like Frontier has any ideas on how to make them look more different without involving feathers.
 
I agree that Ornithomimus would be redundant, what with Struthiomimus in the game... and I feel like Edmontonia would make a more fitting addition than Panoplosaurus... the rest would be great though!

Alioramus - Similar in size to Qianzhousaurus...
Uhh... isn't the Qianzhou similar in size to Allosaurus and Albertosaurus? Pretty sure it's way bigger than Alioramus, which could easily be cloned from the much smaller Herrerasaurus.

Qianzhou is pretty much just a slighty older Alioramus. We have 3 alioramin specimens, yet the gun was jumped and each of them was given its own species (and one its own genus).

The in-game Quianzhou also looks more like an usual Alioramus restoration, due to not having yet that long of a snout. So, no, Alioramus is already represented.


While we are at it, Metri is pretty much based on Yangchuanosaurus restorations.
