Cool. It kinda looks like a T Rex and allosaurus hybrid.

Very cool. Wonder what the scientific name equivalent of "Lightning Claw" is?

Interesting discovery, I like the illustration to this, makes the dinosaur appear a bit majestic.

From what I've read, the Lighting Claw is actually the same creature as Rapator, a megaraptorid(tyrannosauroid?) estimated at up to 9 meters long.
