Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

At least with Ramhorn, he can transform into a convincing micro-cassetteTransmetal Rhinox is a robotic rhinoceros. But Transmetals flopped in Japan where a lot of fans preferred the more realistic organic modes of the original BW TFs - a lot of collectors complaining that the Transmetals just aren't robots in disguise. A metallic rhino isn't foolin' anyone (sorry Ramhorn and Headstrong)
This Rhinox toy looks great. A significant improvement over the original (which was already a great toy). The detail in the sculpting is just exquisite. Want!

Perhaps the loose joints have caused a delay in production and thus a delay to market. BBTS have said he'd have a November release, but they've only got 72 hours to come good on that.

Even if he's just a loose statue that's pain to transform, that robot mode looks so perfect I just would not care. Can't wait for the preorder to come in!

So got him and love him. As only those with long memories would recall, I once had the username Rhinox around here. He's one of my favourite characters but the original toy never a favourite and the statue was just a statue.
This one is basically perfect. He's got the size now, and he looks amazing. Even the limited colouring on the chain guns isn't a big deal since the design of them makes up for it.
As a beastie there's still panel forming to be done, some of it is a bit fiddily. In Rhino mode he doesn't have a lot of poseability (nor do most vehicle TFs in alt mode either) but he hides the robot mode very well and even has a bit of Beast Wars traditional hidden weapon storage.
His robot legs are weaker than you'd want and the shoulders are a bit weak too (what is it with shoulders these days!) but he looks so good in robot mode I forgive the flaws.

If they redo this figure as his Transmetal version I might consider picking him up... maybe

I would also buy that...
That would be a pretty extensive retool, how would they do his skies and tread?

Got my TT version in the mail, fanastic figure. He's got the size, sculpt and colours plus the chainguns of doom! I really like the look of this figure and the texturised plastic is especially impressive. The shellforming transformation is interesting enough and he also shows incredible balance in alt mode
Love this guy, best representation of Rhinox to date even if he is just a giant rhino statue in alt mode.

I think the TT version is the same, I wouldn't call them floppy but they're not as tight as I would like either.
