Looks a bit like one of my feathered Gorgosaurus libratus juveniles.
I like the Parus major look to it, too.
Spike.

How about trying to make these brutes sentient as well? Dinosaurids with attitude!

I can't do it, man! They'd just be too deadly!
(Plus, when you're big, fast, and great at killing shit already, why would you need to develop a bigger brain?)

They should have resonating chambers in their skulls; they can produce infrasonic communication by snapping their jaws shut. It could be one of the ways individuals outline the parameters of their territory, and bigger animals = bigger skulls to make bigger booms for bigger territories and more ladies; ergo, large size and big jaws are sexually selective. Viola, evolution.

Wow very cool critter. I doubt a cheetah would be able to compete with this guy. Cheetah might be a bit quicker but it's not as durable.

We're mentally connected in a cosmic plagiarism kind of way, pseudo-tyrannosaurs are my shit. Awesome.

Haha! Awesome, dude. Awesome.
(Pseudo-tyrannosaurs are the shit, basically.)

It could be a hyena/dire wolf analogue, being a powerfull predator/scanvenger adapted to run for long distances. Don't worry about cheetahs, because they run fast but for only short distances, which places them in a slightly different niche

That's a really good idea. I was only thinking of the phorusrhacid body plan as a model, trying to make that fit a beast with more versatile dentition. But such a critter would be more like a fast-moving hyena, using longer, slower strides (then a smaller dromaeosaur) to achieve comparatively high speeds (like a horse or ostrich). This body-plan would make a very effective, energy-efficient therapod hunter, capable of maintaining the speeds and stamina of most of its prey animals.
