Told in the style of Playmates' Half-Shell Heroes action figure line, the storyline finds the four mutant Heroes in a Half-Shell turtles — Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo - going back in time to the Jurassic Era, where they encounter friendly dinosaurs from the past and dangerous aliens from the future who have a nefarious plan of their own.
