'''Rhinox''' is a dedicated member of the [[Autobot]] cause. He is reliable and outspoken, willing to give it his all battle and gifted with natural leadership qualities. [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] appreciates him greatly for this. His only true flaw is that others don't always react well to him because they are put off by his heavy-handed behavior. This includes his [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Armorhide (Armada)|Armorhide]], which hurts Rhinox.

As '''War''', he holds the position of leader of [[Unicron's Four Horsemen]].

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
====''Armada'' comic====
[[Image:WD3 Rhinox rhinoheadlights.jpg|left|250px|thumb|''There's a light...'']]
Rhinox was among [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]]'s troops infiltrating [[Decepticon Command Headquarters|Decepticon Command HQ]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in order to shut down the master [[space bridge nexus]]. When they came upon the mutilated corpses of the [[Decepticon]]s inside, Rhinox wondered who or what did all that, unaware [[Bludgeon (G1)|the perpetrator]] was watching them from nearby. He and the others soon came under attack too, but managed to survive by forcing Bludgeon out the shadows through the use of their headlights, which allowed Jetfire to destroy his shell. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4}}

Having taken care of that for now, the group proceeded to the space bridge nexus. Rhinox, along with [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]], was ordered to guard the entrance against whatever had been inside their attacker and was still roaming around. At the same time, the breach of the nexus was noticed by [[Herald of Unicron|several other of Unicron's heralds]], leading to a situation in which the Autobots found themselves attacked from both sides. Rhinox, who was losing the fight against Bludgeon, and the others were given the order to clear the area while Jetfire would take care of the nexus, thereby also distracting the heralds from the rest of the team. A short time later, they regrouped on [[Earth]] with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], picked up by Jetfire from another reality, to prepare for [[The Unicron Battles|the upcoming fight to save their own reality]]. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4}}

Rhinox was assigned as main operator for the [[space bridge]] to Cybertron until all of the [[Transformer]]s on Earth had gone through and its self-destruct sequence could be initiated as a safety measure. During the subsequent battle with [[Unicron]], Rhinox led a small team consisting off [[Airazor (Armada)|Airazor]], [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]] and [[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]]. Unfortunately, Unicron, noting the fight was not quite proceeding as he had anticipated, declared that the four of them would provide him with answers and abducted them. {{storylink|The End}}

====''Energon'' comic====
After ten years of exposure to the will of Unicron, Rhinox had gone from dependable Autobot warrior to [[Unicron's Four Horsemen|loyal servant of the Chaos Bringer]]. As War, he and his colleagues served directly under [[Alpha Quintesson]]. They were sent to stall the Autobots on Cybertron, but were repelled by the Omnicons and Optimus Prime after he used the Spark of Combination. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}} {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}}

During preparation for the final assault against [[Unicron]], Rhinox was readying his Autobot fighter for launch. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}
{{Note|During his only and brief cameo, Rhinox is miscolored as the original Transmetal [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]].}}

===IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics===
Rhinox is a reborn, multiverse-hopping [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook}}

{{note| This is an explanation for their similar bodies and identical names. (Transformers with [[Prowl (RID)|similar bodies]] or [[Prowl (Animated)|identical names]] to other [[Prowl (G1)|Transformers]] are a strange concept that needs explanation. It [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|certainly]] never [[Scavenger (Armada)|happened]] in ''[[Starscream (Armada)|Armada]]''.)}}

: Rhinox is a [[redeco]] and [[Retool|retooling]] of the ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Transmetal]] [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] figure, converting from an organic-ish robot to mechanical rhinoceros. He has a third transformation that flips ski-boards beneath his beast-mode forefeet and turns the hind-legs into tread assemblies. He was retooled not only to have [[Powerlinx]] plugs on the flanks of each rear beast-mode leg (which do not activate any [[gimmick]]s), but also to have a molded Autobot [[Insignia|sigil]] in the space originally meant for a [[rub sign]] within his chest.

: He came with his partner [[Mini-Con]] [[Armorhide (Armada)|Armorhide]].

Are all the rabbit-TF's from the same colony? Corada's race (for example) was all one colony founded by Scuba, right?-[[User:Derik|Derik]] 13:34, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's the implication in the Manga. Following BW2 the characters from that show landed 50,000 years in the past on different worlds and (likely thanks to the anglomois energy) they created the races of the BWN characters. The matchups were:

Kid - rabbit tfs

Apache - giraffe tfs

Scuba - cobra tfs

Diver - racoon/tanuki tfs

Bighorn - penguin tfs

And of course dieing LioConvoy gives his matrix to a wounded mammoth which turns into Big Convoy.(How Big Convoy gets back to the future is unrevealed.) [[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 20:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Should we keep the (BWN) and (BW2) distinctions, or shift them to (BW)? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]]

Is Stampy's chest design an intentional homage to the mecha Xabungle? They look strikingly similar.
