That would be pretty awesome.

I saw this on tfw, looks like a mix of Cybertron Dirt Boss and PCC Mudslinger. They didn't do anything interesting with the wheels at all, just hanging them off the limbs. And he's wearing Skeletor's hat.
I don't dislike it, though I'd have preferred the hood looking parts of the robot mode be black to evoke a cloak when combined with the back kibble rather than going all in on the Constructicon aesthetic. He very clearly just wads up and the robot goes under the truck shell, which isn't terrible but it's not great either at Leader prices. We're basically paying a premium for oversized tires.
Color scheme and especially the vehicle mode headlights give off mad Cyclone Joker vibes.

I know the color scheme changed over time, if this is intended as the 'modern' Gravedigger they may have had to make it this color for licensing or something.
my weeb ass thought that was an evangelion collab figure
The Leader price point gave me a bit of hope that there'd at least be a budget for it, but I guess these days we just aren't going to get ambitious with big wheels like that. Idk if this being Hot Wheels and having to adhere so much to a specific look has anything to do with it, but probably not much of a factor (Bone Shaker's gigantic shifter is at least optional in altmode). Like at least have the shoulder ones swivel forward to be wind cannons or something.
Also not wild about the color scheme, but it IS eye-catching (and googling suggests it's usually some variation of this color scheme anyway). And at least it does get away from the red/blue that HW collabs have been (even the other Monster Jam ones, funny enough). And that scythe thing is cool.
Close enough, welcome back, Cybertron Dirt Boss.

I think the rights holders have a huge say in how their vehicles are displayed, and ones with a lot of tampographing/specific styling probably push to keep it unbroken as possible (probably a little easier for the painting process too). Super bummed about the tires, I bet they aren't detachable either. Looks decent overall, I might end up referring to him as Dirt Boss anyway.
I kinda like it, but given that these always seem to end up on clearance eventually, I might wait.
Ah, that's pretty cool.
This homage does clarify that those are boots (right down to the skull toes), rather than mummy-like wraps like I was hoping.

The lovechild of Skeletor and Jonkler
Looks nifty. I can see him bumming with Cannonball and Scourge’s band of black and neon dayglow pirates.
I like it! I don't know if I will get it day 1, but I will keep my eyes open for it.
Also, FRONT PAGED!
-and each time hoping the next leap, will be the leap home...(to Eternia).
Oh, great, now between this and Megatron armored Skeletor, Gym Bro Skeletor, and Dream Date Skeletor, I could see the entire fanfic coming together in nothing flat...
Not like a Leto fan or anything, but I did actually quite like his Skeletor.
