Dino Attack (Dino 2010 in Europe) was a theme released in 2005. Each set included futuristic military vehicles fighting against mutant dinosaurs. It includes 5 sets of different vehicles and dinosaurs and is the third LEGO System theme primarily focused on dinosaurs. It had a team of four minifigures (Shadow, Digger, Specs, and Viper) trying to stop invading dinosaurs.
Background[]
In the year 2010, strange mutant dinosaurs appear and attack cities worldwide, and Shadow, Digger, Specs, and Viper must stop the dinos before it is too late. But these mutants have abilities beyond any normal dinosaur, making them far more dangerous. With the latest technology and weaponry, the Dino Attack team fights to drive the dinosaurs out of the cities. They are ultimately successful in their mission, but the mystery of the dinosaurs' origins remains unsolved.
The story of Dino Attack is primarily shown in the online stories, character profiles, and LEGO Magazine articles and comics. The theme also has an online Dino Attack Game developed by Yamago. A promotional Japanese poster "恐竜＆ダイノバスターズ図鑑" features a story description and character profiles, and most significantly reveals that the dinosaurs escaped a museum after they were mutated by radioactive contamination from a science laboratory.

Dino 2010[]
The Dino 2010 sets are slightly different from the Dino Attack counterparts. Instead of large weapons, the sets are given grappling hooks and large cages for capturing dinosaurs instead of fighting them. The setting has also been changed from a ruined city to a deep jungle, and the scant story materials in catalogs and magazines describe the heroic hunters catching the escaping dinosaurs instead of driving off an invasion. Therefore, Dino 2010 is thematically closer to Dino Island than Dino Attack is. These sets were only released in Europe, while Dino Attack was in North America, Japan, and Australia.
