Via TonTon Review on Youtube we have new in-hand images of the upcoming Kingdom Fossilizer Deluxe Ractonite.
Paleotrex is part of the new Kingdom Fossilizers which can split and combine as weapons for other War For Cybertron figures similar to the Siege Weaponizers. Ractonite can split into several weapons like swords, maces, and even become new body parts for other War For Cybertron toys. Ractonite is cool Styracosaurus skeleton which shows a very nice deco while robot mode looks like a medieval knight. We also have comparison shots next to other Fossilizers and War For Cybertron figures.
Check out all the images on this news post, as well as TonTon video review, after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

This, this is it.
I'm so excited for these bone fellas, theres so many different ways to interpret them. Mindless zombies, ancient guardians, normal transformers, bone knights, the possibilities are endless.
goth teen, you say? well…

Only buying the fossilizers from this line, but I would DEFINITELY pick up a "goth teen" redeco of cheetor!

I knew it wasnt a triceratops lol. I just wanted to see if anyone was going to call me out for daring to call it a triceratops. Kinda like those guus who get mad when you say the 2007 and 2009 camaros are identical.

Given that he was portrayed as an adolescent going through puberty, I think we can work in the pock-marks for Cheetor.

I think they tend to hang around because they're the ones most commonly repacked. Because those molds don't get the same kind of reuse at retail.
Mister D
Have they? I know a lot of people like them, but they also seem to sell slower than regular figures. At least that's my perception in a limited local sample size.

Just because the Beast guys don't have 5mm weaponizer ports doesn't mean they couldn't make use of the Fossilizers ability to break in to weapons they can hold in their hands. I think modular figures are going to be around beyond WfC. Mostly because they seem to have been really well received.
Neko-bot77
5mm ports are easy to either a) hide or b) justify on 'vehicle' G1 TRANSFORMERS because they have a blocky look / can do folding tricks with panels. E.g. an extra hole in g1 prime's/ sunstreaker's/ sideswipe's arm or shin can be either hidden or hand-waved as "mechanical detail" in either mode.
But the beasties? They have very smooth/ organic looks. It'd be VERY difficult to justify why an animal at the zoo had perfectly circular divots in its body.
Plus, can you imagine the response Hasbro would get from BW fans if munky prime, t-rex megs, dinobot or cheetor's beast modes were pock-marked with holes? It'd be worse than POTP primal's small "jet" mode.

Definitely gonna need this guy.

One rumor that I would love some confirmation or clarification on is that Beast Wars was supposed to be its own independent line, while the 86 figures were supposed to be in WFC. When the new movie got delayed, they flipped the script, putting 86 in SS to keep that line afloat, and putting the beast figures in their places in WFC. No idea if this rumor is actually true, but it would explain the lack of ports in the beast toys. However, it doesn't explain where the fossilizers come from.

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

I am really curious as to how they will play into the mythology, but I suspect that we'll just see them "as is" in season 3 during the time jump/dimension crossover without any explanation of what they are or how they came about.

Team head hand.

What bothers me about using Rac's skull not as shoulder piece for Rac's bot mode is that it necessitates the use of him using his "hand peg" as a shoulder connector which looks like it would limit his elbow to go inward.

Probably because it isn't a triceratops.
It's a Styracosaurus.
Rated X
Weird looking triceratops…

I'm not planning to buy any Fossilizer but they're starting to look intersting..
