As croc vs shark showed, it doesnt take a ninja master to effectively avoid a limited range of attack.  Ill say it again the spino is larger and therefore would most likely not fear the rex.  In all reality the 2 would most likely avoid 1 another, only over food or territory would they even consider all out warfare.  The rex has 1 utility, a massive pressure jaw that sits on the end of a long frame.  If you know geometry then you understand the farther something is from its focal point the less stable it is regardless the counter balance.  Lets not forget the rex was a lowly scavenger 1st and foremost and a hunter part time.  You underestimate the actual skill of wild animals and natural defensive instinct.  The spino knows how to use its arms and also was a full fledge hunter against things that could potentially fight back.  Do i think the spino is tactical enough to snap a neck, no probably not, but it would probably use its arms to grab and avoid a simple predictable assault and then wrestle its victim to the ground like most wild animals.  The rex cant use that because he cant get back up.  The spinos heavy and tall enough to pull it off.  For either beast its dire tho, 1 mistake for either would spell doom and its fully possible both die.

Man no offense but you really are against the general consensus of what would happen if a tyrannosaurus rex and Spino actually encountered eachother in real life. 

The t-rex has been shown to have about 3000lb more muscle force, it was far more intelligent, it had forward facing eyes which is a big advantage in itself.

It had far better vision, and actually the complete opposite of what you say is true, it was a predator first and opportunistic scavenger second. T-rex would compete with eachother for prey, and take on dangerous prey, the spino ate fish... It was a specialised animal for hunting fish, the rex was specialised for biting through the bone of giant herbivores with crushing power.

And where are you getting this information?  I can believe the forward facing eye and better vision(We all know JP was wrong there), i even believe the muscle mass.  But the intelligence and predator is bull dude.  The rexs skull had a small cavity compared to its size, it had a small brain for something its size.  It suffered from lack of brain size because the skull was so thick, probably to protect its brain from rival rex.  Lets compare the 2 baddest bites of the modern world.   #1 is a rat living in the jungle that cracks open a coconut type seed that a hyena couldnt get into.  #2 is the hyena which is a scavenger 1st and formost(So the baddest bite of a modern carnivore belongs to a scavenger).  The rex has a bone breaking bite just like the hyena.  Why, because due to it being a scavenger it wouldnt get the hole meal and therefore it needs past the bone to get more nutrition or even eat the bone(Just like a hyena).  Animals are predictable, by seeing others with the same ability you can tell what it does.  The traits are traits of a scavenger or nutt eater, not a hunter.

Watch this video, a recent presentation of the T rex by an expert.

The rex was more intelligent than you realise, it came 30 million years after the spinosaurus... It was a more evolved and superior predator. It had better vision than an eagle, and an incredible sense of smell to go with it.

There have been skeletons found of herbivores where a T rex tooth has been broken off and embedded into their bone but new bone had formed around it.

This is evidence of the rex going after live animals rather than being primarily a. scavenger.

I haven't watched the video yet but i never said it wouldnt hunt, just that scavenging was its go to.  I have no doubt rexes have killed prey, it would just scavenge 1st.  So if i find a hyena tooth in a gazelle the hyena is magically a hunter 1st now?  No.  All carnivores can hunt, it might not be its go to tho.  As for a guy saying it was smarter because its more modern or some other odd ball reason, i call a quack.  Proven science, brain size offers a range of possible intelligence, this is campared to the creatures size.  Large creatures need a large brain to run all its nerves in its huge body.  The fact that its brain cavity is rather small for its size means the majority of its brain is used for running its body, leaving lil room for intelligence.  Your claiming high degree of sight when we have no eyeballs to study to know its sight abilities.  Now tho we could argue this argument is for future tlc patches, im rather surprised joe hasnt deleted posts or closed this thread yet, so we have to end this.  At base a spino wins by dps, rex has better health so could probably tank it out when properly bred.  I enjoy the new spino and cant wait to try it.

Hope this will fix the health problem with the griffin, super annoying. Love the argentavis!

you listen to my idea for the trike  were when larger dinos are near its gets a damage buff thanks for listening devs 

I know tlc pass 2 is coming out but my only question is when will you guys actually make primal survival i saw the trailer and my friends are wondering when it will be coming out I told them it will comeout probably when the dinos are fixed but they dont believe me they think you guys are cheapos I dont know what to tell them we had a plan to be a huge raptor pack but at this point I still believe in you guys dont give up. BTW I know that i have grammer mistakes but I need to fix my keyboard

Development on Primal Survival stopped a long time ago. It's not known at this stage whether development will resume again or not.

What is primal survival?

GP do you know when this is coming out on console?

Mid-April is the latest ETA for console.

Mid april starts in 2-3 days.  We're so darn close to the estimated area and its weird we dont have an exact number considering how close it is.

As far as the TLC update.. the Argy saddle is still not working properly?

its been fixed as a smithy saddle, and I can craft. But I cant repair gear as I would in a normal smithy,.  

Also.. The fabricator. It would have been nice if the fabricator would have replaced the smithy, similar to the replicator replaces  both...

I'm eagerly awaiting the next community crunch. Might tell us the exact date. I hope it will.

Agreed and cheers to that  

Crunch 126 just landed.  Estimated time for TLC2 is next week.

Currently not a bug, it's intentional, they haven't decided if they want the Argy to be able to repair as it might be to OP. (saw this in a tweet) Personally think repair would be nice.

If the repair ability is OP then the smithy ability is to.  Smithys repair metal items, they go hand in hand, so the devs need a wake up slap for this, idiots.

there is a hand tool you can craft to repair the item without a smithy..

Nvr heard of this, sounds like a mod, unless its like the lasso and equus saddle
