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. 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. The joint to flip down Paleotrex's "mask" can pass as an opening mouth for the masked robot mode head as well. When the "mask" is flipped down, Paleotrex's robot mode head is based on Optimus Primal's spiky mace, and can be used as a weapon by other figures. As an undocumented feature, Paleotrex’s tail tip has a small tab that plugs in behind the right shoulder for weapon storage.
Due to having tiny feet and a very oddly proportioned body in robot mode, the figure is hard 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)
