Landsaurus is a primarily purple Gigantosaurus with silver-blue stripes running along the back.The teeth and claws are a dull silver and the eyes are green.
Gigantosaurus- 12.8 metres long and weighing 8 tonnes - was the largest land carnivore that ever lived, beating the size of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The Gigantosaurus prey were herbivores.During the hunting, they would run in, take a very large bite and then back off and watch until the prey would bleed to death.

 Dino Science Forum Sept. 2001: CoolDinos.com
Gigantosaurus was truly a force to be reckoned with, king to all he surveyed, and was powerful enough to take down even some of the largest creatures on earth, the Titanisaurs.
Gigantosaurus was lightly built, with a large but fragile skull and had a brain smaller than T. Rex's (and the fact that he's bigger makes him even less intelligent in comparisson to T. Rex).
So basically, Gigantosaurus method of predatation was to run in, take a large bite of his prey, then run to a safe distance and watch as the Prey died from loss of blood.

 The UnMuseum - Tyrannosaurus Rex
Gigantosaurus lived in South America during the Cretaceous era and is perhaps the largest land-dwelling meat eater to ever walk the face of the earth.
Gigantosaurus, whose name means "Giant southern lizard," grew as long as 52 feet and weighed eight tons.
Though Gigantosaurus seems to have filled the same niche in the South American eco-system as Tyrannosaurus in North America, paleontologists think that they were in no way related.

The evidence comes from four or maybe five Gigantosaurus who died together, then had their bones washed down a fast-flowing river to be laid to rest in a common burial site for 90 million years.
Gigantosaurus weighed in at eight tons and measured some 45 feet long.
It was fond of dining on one of the largest creatures that ever walked the earth, the long-necked Argentinosaurus, a mild-mannered vegetarian which weighed about 100 tons and each of whose vertebrae were as big as boulders.

Were as Gigantosaurus teeth were sharper but very thin and could easily break if they hit bone or ttough muscle, unless it could get T-rex in a vonerable area that i can't find.
Gigantosaurus had an advantage of size, weight,and its larger arms with sharper claws,but i don't think any of this can compare with the strength that T-rex had in its jaws.
Gigantosaurus would run in, take a bite to rip open the flesh of it's prey in weakpoints, then back off and watch the prey bleed to death.

Gigantosaurus' lighter legs, however, were lightly built and weren't as muscular, most likely making him slower than a Tyrrannosaur.
Gigantosaurus' teeth, however were meant to cut flesh, so after Gigo bit his prey, he could back off and let it bleed to death.
Gigantosaurus may have also operated in a similar fashion to the T.Rex, but even it would have been no match for the spinosaur.

Bigger, badder and older than T-rex, but with a smaller brain, Gigantosaurus is vying for the title of scariest dinosaur of all.
T-rex's position as undisputed king of the carnivores was cast in doubt with the announcement in 1995 of the discovery in Argentina of a  new dinosaur is called gigantosaurus carolinii.
While the tyrannosaur's teeth were suited for biting right through flesh and bone, those of Giganotosaurus were shorter, less variable and narrower, and are much better adapted for slicing flesh.
