Jaw Bone appeared in the 1986 film ''[[GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords]]''. He was voiced by Foster Brooks.

===Comics===
====Fun Publications====
=====Echoverse=====
Fossilsaurus was featured in the 2016 ''[[Ask Vector Prime]]'' story ''[[Echoes and Fragments]]'', set during the events of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The manipulations of the evil [[Gong (GoBots)|Gong]] and [[Sideways (Transformers)|Sideways]] resulted in various GoBots, Rock Lords and Starriors swapping places with characters during the events of that film.<REF>{{cite comic|title=Ask Vector Prime|story=Echoes and Fragments|publisher=Fun Publications|date=February 10th, 2016|writer=Jim Sorenson}}</ref>

=====Rhetoricverse=====
Fossilsaurus appeared the ''[[Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric]]'' episode 27 story "[[Fossil Fallout]]," in which he was forced to fight alongside the [[Renegades (GoBots)|Renegades]] after they abducted [[Ulna (Rock Lords)|Ulna]], daughter of Jaw Bone. Fossilsaurus easily defeated Courageous, but was then able to take revenge on the Renegades after [[Leader-1 (GoBots)|Leader-1]] rescued Ulna.

Fossilsaurus also appeared in "[[Combiner Wars Part 1]]", an installment on the ''[[Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric]]'' [[Facebook]] page by [[Fun Publications]]. Jaw Bone and the other Fossil Lords formed him in order to aid [[Courageous (GoBots)|Courageous]] against [[Monsterous]], but were overwhelmed after [[Puzzler (GoBots)|Puzzler]] and [[Nemesis (GoBots)|Nemesis]] joined the battle.

Courageous teamed up with Fossilsaurus on the planet Quartex in a battle with Grungy, Puzzler and Monsterous in episode 65, "[[Combiner Wars Part 2]]". Although initially outnumbered, Monsterous was distracted by an attack by Blast Rock and Stun Stones drones commanded by Scooter and Nuggit. This allowed Courageous and Fossilsaurus a fair fight, which eventually lead to a Guardian victory.<ref>{{Cite episode |title= Combiner Wars Part 2|episodelink=Combiner Wars Part 2 |series= Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|serieslink= Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|credits= Written by Jim Sorenson |network= |station= |airdate= December 12th, 1986/February 5th, 2016 |season= 1|number= 65}}</ref>
