Paleotrex is a Predacon Fossilizer from the Kingdom portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Frightening in the dark.

65 million years in the making, Paleotrex transforms into the fossilized remains of a mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, also able to separate into skeletal armor and weaponry for his comrades, thanks to F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology.

Part of the first wave of War for Cybertron: Kingdom Deluxe Class figures, Paleotrex "transforms" from skeletal Tyrannosaurus to robot and back via being disassembled and reassembled. His dino-mode tail-tip becomes a serrated sword/cudgel in robot mode; as an undocumented feature, the weapon has a small tab that plugs in behind the right shoulder for weapon storage.
As a Fossilizer, Paleotrex can split into weapons and armor compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System for use by other War for Cybertron Trilogy figures (or any figure with 5 mm post compatibility), with two suggested configurations shown in his instructions. The first has his robot-mode lower body and forearms combined into a double-clawed backpack, with the dino-mode tail and pelvic assembly forming a massive battle-axe, his dino-mode head and neck an arm-mounted chompy-thing, his chestplate a shield, and his head becoming a hand-held mace (which, with the battle-mask flipped down, resembles the original Beast Wars Ultra-class Optimus Primal toy's spiky mace). The second has his lower body still as a backpack, but now acting as twin cannons, with the dino-mode feet plugging into the bottom of a figure's feet to be... uh, stilts, we guess, keeping the arm-mounted shield-chestplate, and combining the dino-skull and tail-axe assembly into a monstrously huge battle sword.
Due to having tiny feet and a very oddly proportioned body in robot mode, the figure can be difficult to pose without it falling over.
In Japan, Paleotrex was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive.

Notes

  • Intentionally or coincidentally, the mask flipping down over the robot head makes for an interesting callback to the "Mutant head" gimmick used by first-year Beast Wars figures.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Paleotrex (パレオトレックス Pareotorekkusu)
