- War for Cybertron Trilogy "Fossilizer Skelivore" is a redeco of Kingdom Deluxe Class Paleotrex packaged alongside Megatron and a few goodies in a Leader Unboxing set promoting the Kingdom chapter of the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon. They "transform" into a skeletal Tyrannosaurus to robot and back via disassembly and reassembly. Their dino-mode tail-tip becomes a serrated sword/cudgel in robot mode, or as shown in the box art, can peg into the back of his large shoulder.
- As a Fossilizer, Skelivore 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 one suggested configurations shown in the set's stock photography with Megatron. Their robot-mode lower body and forearms combine into a double-clawed backpack, with the dino-mode tail and pelvic assembly forming a massive battle-axe, their dino-mode head and neck into an arm-mounted chompy-thing, their chestplate a shield, and their head, with the skull-mask down, becoming a hand-held mace.
- 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, not helped by the fact that his "ankle" tilts are actually positioned just below his knees.
- This mold was retooled with a new head to make Generations Selects Transmutate.
Notes
- Not too dissimilar to Enerax, Skelivore's primarily translucent-purple color scheme lends them to representing Megatron's classic energon mace, aided by Paleotrex's head already being based on Beast Wars Ultra Class Optimus Primal toy's spiky mace.
