"Rexy" is the fan name that Jurassic World fans have given the tyrannosaur |

Do Hasbro hold the JP licence?
EDIT: No, Mattel

I'm not saying it is a brown decoed megatron, and the guy is drunk off his rocker and drunk people should be banned from the internet, and it is plausible he drunk idioted T-Wrecks twice, and getting the name wrong once (thank you for making all that BS legible to me)
(Edit: it was my friend's copy/paste that was illegible to me. OP's post wasn't great but it didn't parse into text at all)
But he did list Megatron twice- once as T-Wrecks, and once with a popular unofficial name given to a fan favorite specific tyrannosaur deco.
A JP decoed Megatron has been on a lot of fans want list for 25 years.
It makes sense.
Edit 2:
He does mean JP Rex.

I can see it, and I can see it fits with the current run of Movie exclusives (King Kong Op?)
The problem with it is, as I said above, Mattel hold the JP licence now.

Mattel doesn't own a copyright on a brown tyrannosaurus.
It's an animal, that had been given a fairly generic color scheme.
Just about everyone but hasbro that has tyrannosaur toys, has done them in JPish brown.
Not sure Mattel has any say unless Hasbro is knocking off exact toys.
I think it'd be up to Universal to argue Hasbro is infringing.

Ooooh. Could that... could that be a Jurassic Park crossovers? That couldn't be. Could it..? Rumours of a JP Megatron have been strong for a while. I'm at a complete loss for what else Park could stand for other than Jurassic Park |

Did we have a rumour about a third Leader Megatron repaint - one specifically Jurassic Park coloured? That would be the Project Park figure I would think? Or did that rumour become T-Wrecks?

I am hopeful for a Ford Explorer. Not fussed about a Megatron repaint.

Rumors are a new mold, and the Ford License is involved.
Though I'd really like a retool of Studio BB Jeep Bumblebee or Siege Hound as the park jeep from the chase scene.

This needs to be a 2 pack of the jeep being chased by the T-rex.

The car, whatever it is, is the draw for me, but yeah, the T-Rex chase scene would be fun.

Make a brand new core class velociraptor mold.
Can just straight up recycle the engineering of Vertebreak to save money.
Put three in a package. Boom.

Ideal:
· Storm Attack- Ford Explorer (rumored new mold) vs Tyrannosaur (megatron retool to demegatron her)
· Clever Girls- Velociraptor threepack (new core class mold ×3. Recycles Vertebreak or PotP Slash's engineering)
· Midnight Escape- Park Jeep (SSBB Jeep Bumblebee retool) vs Spitter (raptor retool)
Bonuses:
· Tranquil Trike- Triceratops (rhinox retool)
· Dig Site Discovery- raptor fossilizer (Vertibreak retool)
That just leaves the brachiosaur, gallimimus, and helicopter out in the cold.

· Tranquil Trike- Triceratops (rhinox retool) Should be the BW Neo Guiledart, the rotting flesh feature representing what happens after the poison's longer term effects. Also, remould Earthrise Quintesson into a lavatory with lawyer figure to sit on it. |

I'd not considered the idea of using SS jeep Bumblebee - mostly because I forget it exists.
But given that these sets can also disappoint, I'm putting my money on a repaint of Earthrise Trailbreaker as the tour car from the first film, and a repaint of Dinobot as one of the first film's velociraptors. Which will in no way be in scale, but you know.

Interesting. Likely first sighting of the Skids mould that was leaked recently. Or possibly gears and or Rollbar. Or all 3.

I was right about the tour car being bigger than generations!
I wish the tyrannosaur was a predacon instead of a decepticon, though. Names kinda suck.
But otherwise, I love it!

It's too big to be Skids. It does however fit Armada Red Alert.
If it gets reused at all- Maverick still hasn't.
