Temblorkin -- 3RR
Creature - Elemental
Rumble 2 (When Temblorkin enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice any number of lands. If you do, put two +1/+1 counters on it for each land sacrificed this way.)
3/4

I changed the mechanic slightly. "When" make it a triggered ability, which would resolve long after its entered the battlefield. Making it an additional cost to cast seems too steep, and might lead to a two-for-one or more if the creature gets countered.

It's a pretty cool mechanic, since it gives the player control over how many eggs to put into the basket, similar to devour. Unlike devour, once players hit their curve, extra lands often feel unnecessary.
.
Mecharnivore -- 6
Artifact Creature - Construct
Modular 4
Apex -- As long as Mecharnivore has the greatest power among creatures, it has trample. If it would deal excess damage to a player, put that many +1/+1 counters on Mecharnivore instead.
0/0

I had to Google whether MtG uses "greatest power" or "highest power."
