Key Raiders: 2017 Wish List – Part II

I know many of you have been waiting for Part II of my 2017 Wish List article. Well, I'm excited to reveal this next wave about creatures and vehicles. I hope you enjoy these ideas!

10 - KiloraptTM GOT IT!
Type: creature
Affiliation: Rexodon
First appearance: issue #3 - "Clash of the leaders"
Facts: Bi-Harr's trusted companion has a great design that would help further expand the KR creatures lineup. The Rexodon leader is ready to ride this savage armoured maniraptoran into battle!

09 - Baryanoid-CartTM GOT IT!
Type: creature/land vehicle
Affiliation: Spektrosaur
First appearance: issue #7 - "The siege of Erlokat"
Facts: in the spectacular KR seventh comic issue, Lor-Drek attacks the Independent Warriors' stronghold with this all-terrain reptile-drawn chariot, which would undoubtedly be a great addition to the line.

08 - PyrosaurTM GOT IT!
Type: land vehicle
Affiliation: Spektrosaur
First appearance: issue #7 - "The siege of Erlokat"
Facts: another reptilian vehicle from the seventh KR comic issue, the Pyrosaur is reminiscent of a mechanical tyrannosaurus, can be manoeuvred in several positions and has a mechanical arm ending with a badass flamethrower.

07 - LoGoNTM vehicle form (with driver) GOT IT!
Type: land vehicle and action figure
Affiliation: Destructomorph
First appearance: issue #13 - "The ultimate curse"
Facts: Xonedar in his motorbike form? Sure, we need him too (and he’s here with his own position in the list), but CoBoN's evil counterpart is one of the more interesting machines shown during the several episodes of the KR saga. We already got LoGoN's robot configuration, but if its vehicle form isn’t produced, there will be an empty space on the shelf. This prototype would merely be a black repaint of CoBoN's vehicle mode, which exists as of last year, and would also include a full-body version of its white-suited driver, who is my personal favourite Demo-Rha's variant.

06 - CeratankTM GOT IT!
Type: land vehicle
Affiliation: Rexodon
First appearance: issue #4 - "A fateful secret"
Facts: the incredible tank-like transport that carries the Rexodons into battle cannot be missing. Heavily armoured and armed, it's even got a powerful missile-launcher mounted on its swinging tail.

05 - Queen HolopodianTM GOT IT!
Type: creature
Affiliation: Theriom
First appearance: issue #11 - "Herrion's ordeal"
Facts: the queen-holopodian, Kinod's biological mother, would make for a visually stunning addition to the line. I know this would be a pet project for the designers at PoliganToys, which they would certainly deliver beyond expectations.

04 - PterajetTM GOT IT!
Type: aircraft
Affiliation: Rexodon
First appearance: issue #6 - "Reptiles reunited"
Facts: when Bi-Harr feels the need to fly high, he takes off with the Pterajet. How awesome would it be to see this imposing aerial transport vehicle landing in the KR lineup?! It'd be even better if it came with its own dedicated landing base.

03 - XonedarTM motorbike form GOT IT!
Type: vehicle/action figure
Affiliation: Theriom
First appearance: issue #6 - "Reptiles reunited"
Facts: OK, where is Xonedar's motorbike form?! We're still waiting… we’ve had several configurations of this character for some time, including the Xonatron and CoBoN robot mode's head. But we have yet to see that bike form, which made a memorable appearance in the sixth KR comics issue, enough to justify its being produced in the line. It has a cool look and it'd be great if the wheels could be detached and plugged into regular Xonedar's limbs.

02 - ExabeastTM GOT IT!
Type: creature
Affiliation: independent
First appearance: issue #9 - "The Cereutian menace: Part II – Salvation"
Facts: there are many concept characters that did not make it to prototype form during the various comic issues of the Key Raiders series. Among the most fascinating might be the Exabeast, the giant monster formed by Denortos and his fellows during the epic final battle of the Cereutian invasion. I think I would really enjoy owning this large scale figure. I'm sure the folks at PoliganToys would do a wonderful job of creating a design that maximises play-factor while remaining true to the aesthetic of the line as a whole.

01 - RotakordTM GOT IT!
Type: aircraft
Affiliation: Destructomorph
First appearance: issue #2 - "Hunt for the energy stone"
Facts: Deptilion takes to the skies with this menacing vehicle that is characterised by a front gaping mouth with spinning blades around the inner circumference. Typically used as an air vehicle, the Rotakord also functions as a tunnel boring machine and is equipped with a variety of weapons, though the spinning blades are its most devastating feature. How cool would it be to have it in toy form?

As a final (unlikely) wish... how about a playset? Perhaps an all-inclusive one that incorporates elements of Theriom City, Dekropolis, Rokang Tar and Artelon, and with the two multiversal walls right at the centre of it? I know, I'm dreaming, but I still hope PoliganToys will see this and think about producing it; I believe that if it were affordable, it would sell very well. GOT IT!
