    Correct on all fronts. It's Planet X Vejovis with a 3D Printed Lost Light/MTMTE Head and painted hands, and RTS Perceptor with the MMC R-40 Jaguar/Tyrantron upgrade kit rifle.

    EDIT: Oh, and MMC Drift has SXS Hot Flame's swords.

    Interesting, I didn't know there were IDW head options for Planet X Ratchet. Does it fit snugly on the ball socket? The page doesn't specifically say whether it supports Planet X or not. Also do they have a similar Ironhide IDW head option?

    edit: oof nevermind, this is only for the schematic download, not for purchase of the head itself. I don't have a 3D printer so I guess I'm out of luck haha.

    Shapeways is your friend!

    For my own print I had to scale the head to be 120% larger to look proportionally right, then tighten the ball socket with some nail polish. I'm sure @SteamShield can work with you if you opt to go that route.

    I went canonical with mine using the Toyhax set and I thought it turned out quite nicely. I just used one size larger than my gut said to use.

    Part of me thinks you still need the Feralcons/Feral Rex in the mix even though they weren't part of IDW.

    Oh man, if I could find a Feral Rex at a decent price, he'd absolutely be on the shelf. Unfortunately, Getaway, Kaon, Vos, and Rung are taking priority right now. Plus Nickel and the Pet, that Planet X Grimlock, and whenever MMC gets to releasing Fort Max and Deathsaurus. And then a Starsaber from either MMC or PX. So yes, Feral Rex eventually, but lots of MMC releases before then.

    How much is Feral Rex going for these days? He’s my least favorite of all my combiners.

    I take that back. He’s second worst. TFC’s Defensor is #1.

    Haha, yeah, that TFC one did not age well. I've seen MMC versions of Feral Rex for $250-$350 depending on if there's upgrades or not. The Jinbao one for $150ish? But I'm trying to avoid the KOs unless no other options are there (see MakeToys First Aid/Yes Model Ambulance).

    Gotcha! Thank you.

    Yeah, funny enough, I love TFC’s Superion and Devastator (with multiple upgrades). I ended up taking the whole thing (Defensor) and shoved him into a drawer — GT’s will be replacing him.

    Was there upgrade stuff released for Rex? “Officially” or do you mean like, Shapeways stuff? Sorry for all the questions and thank you.

    Prof Heisenberg and Crazy Devy did upgrade kits for it, plus the individual bots had heads you could get. I think the Jinbao one also had some hip upgrades too? Also there was the Felisaber figure I believe.

    Thank you muchly.

    I don’t think I have any of the upgrades outside of some … ziplock baggy and paper that came with some .. additional weapons? Or something.

    I don’t have any of the boxes for the figures. 95% sure I have all the instructions. And if I were to ever sell it, there would be no way in hell I’d ever un-combine it — all that said — if you are seriously interested, let me know.

    The MMC Ravage is such an underrated mold, especially when paired with their Megatron. I constantly find myself fiddling with this figure on the shelf.

    I quite like him and The Pet, MMC does well with beasts. I do wish his feet were more articulated and I wish he were a tad darker grey, but those are minor complaints.

    It makes me wonder if they ever would do like beastwars figures how well they would do. Even if they did like a reformatted subline like MMC R-Beast (bw, bw2, bwneo, bm, transtech, misc beast characters from other tf toons/comics)

    Idw bw Nyx, she's a new character would be pretty sweet.
    I know we gave us the non-beast BM characters Strika and Obsidian already... we need tankor, trust, and jetstorm, lol. But yeah there's got to be someone on MMC team passionate about BWs that would want to make some more beast figures.

    An MMC-led Beast Wars line is a personal dream. I'd love to see their take on TM Rampage and Depth Charge.
