Editing Rhinox (BW)/toys

{{suite}}

If there is a rhinoceros ''Transformers'' toy, it is probably one of '''Rhinox'''.

===Beast Wars===
[[File:Rhinox-bw-deluxetoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''Like'' a mutant head? Can anyone like a mutant head? I wonder.]]
*'''Rhinox''' (Deluxe, 1996)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-7'''
**''Accessories:'' Rotating mechanism, saw blade, two flails, sword

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxes for 1996, Rhinox transforms into a tan organic rhinoceros. In robot mode, his primary weapon is a spinning blade-gun/double mace-thing/lawn edge trimmer, though the television series liberally interpreted this weapon as a sort of Gatling gun (the aforementioned "Chaingun of Doom"). His tail also detaches to become a blade.

: The two panels mounted on either side of his head close together to form his 'mutant' battle mask.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] release of Rhinox added a thick layer of gray paint to the [[beast mode]] parts that faded to reveal the original tan towards the lower body as well as black eyes. ''Why'' is uncertain, as this made him even less like his show coloration. The Japanese version featured a [[variant|running change]] where the tan plastic was replaced with brown.

*'''Wilderness Showdown: Rhinox VS Shadow Panther''' (Multi-pack, 1996)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''VS-7'''
**''Accessories:'' Rotating mechanism, saw blade, two flails, sword

: In Japan, Rhinox was available both in an individual release, and in a two-pack with the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Shadow Panther]]. Both toys are identical to their individual releases.

*'''Rhinox''' (Transmetal, 1998)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-44'''
**''Accessories:'' Horn dagger

: For the ''Transmetals'' line of ''Beast Wars'' toys, Rhinox now transforms into a robotic rhinoceros. The rhino mode has fold-down skis in the front legs and tank treads in the rear legs so he can become a kind of snowmobile. In robot mode, he is armed with only his beast mode horn, which becomes a gun/blade. 

: In the Hasbro line, early releases of the toy had a much paler aqua-colored chrome than later versions. Such chrome differences were seemingly common among the Transmetals, but the pale/rich-chrome Rhinoxes seem to be the most common and most likely intentional change.

: The Takara release of Transmetal Rhinox has gold chrome instead of the aqua-blue and replaces the "RHINOX" [[tampograph]] with "CYBERTRON" and the Maximal faction sigil.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed slightly to make ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]].

*'''Rhinox''' (Deluxe, 1999)
**''Accessories:'' Rotating mechanism, saw blade, two flails, sword

: Part of the first wave of "[[Fox Kids]]" Deluxe [[redeco]]es, this toy uses the original Rhinox mold in off-white and dark burgundy.

: Hasbro documents listed this toy as "Energon Surge Rhinox",<ref>https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.toys.transformers/C30fV9dqOK0/gPO8D3N_PAUJ</ref> a name that never made it to the final package.

: This assortment was [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US.

*'''Rhinox''' (Deluxe Transmetal, 2000)
**''Accessories:'' Horn dagger

: Part of the last year of mass-retail ''Beast Wars'' product (sold concurrently with the early releases of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]''), the Transmetal mold also got a "Fox Kids" redeco in mainly blue and gray—an interesting color choice, given that those are the show colors of [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]], whom Rhinox would become. His chrome color was a pale green.

*'''Beast Wars''' (Fast food premium, 2001)

: Available only as part of a Hasbro-brand-names fast food promotion (which included miniature versions of other Hasbro properties like Mr. Potato Head), and labeled simply as "Beast Wars", this toy is an ''extremely'' simplified version of the Transmetal Rhinox toy, available only at participating Rally's and Checkers restaurants.

: Despite it being... well, ''look'' at it... it goes for ''mad'' money on the secondary market. Most people didn't realize the promotion even existed until after it was over, and the restaurant chain was fairly small and somewhat regional.

===Beast Wars 10th Anniversary===
[[File:BW10Rhinox toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"This leg and crotch are a danger to themselves and everyone around them!"]]
*'''Rhinox''' (Tenth Anniversary, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Rotating mechanism, saw blade, two flails, sword

: For the 10th Anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', Hasbro redecoed the original 1996 Rhinox toy in more show-accurate colours, giving him a darker beast mode colour scheme, and painted gold details on his robot mode head, to more closely match the CGI model. They also tampographed a Maximal sigil on his beast mode's right foreleg.

: Also included was the lower torso and right leg to [[Transmutate (character)|Transmutate]], and a DVD of the ''Beast Wars'' episode "[[The Spark]]".

:This version of Rhinox is [[Misassembly|assembled with his shoulders on the wrong sides]], so the screws that hold them together are visible from the front of the robot.

===Generations===
[[File:Generations rhinox.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|And he ''finally'' gets his <s>Chain</s>Gatling Guns of Doom. ''(Hasbro Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Rhinox''' (Voyager Class, 2014)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / 005'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TG31'''
**''Accessories'': Two Gatling Guns of Doom

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyagers, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Rhinox is a brand new mold that transforms from robot to organic rhinoceros. The robot mode design takes inspiration from both the original toy and especially his appearance in the cartoon. Included are Rhinox's twin "Gatling Guns of Doom", which can be stored in his rhino mode and have a spinning [[gimmick]] when you press down on the little lever/button whatevers on the sides. Although the discs of the gatling guns are silver in the stock photography, the final product leaves them in an unpainted brownish color, similar to the color of the levers.

:Rhinox's instructions neglect to mention a few things—the slot below the robot head that plugs into a tab on the inside of the rhino head that holds the two pieces together in beast mode, the fact that the sliding elbow pieces can click into place in both modes, and the holes on the back of the arms that can be used to store the weapons in robot mode.

:The TakaraTomy ''Generations'' release of Rhinox features metallic bronze & green plastic colors and painted discs.

**''Bag number'': '''33501 40'''
**''Accessories'': Stand brick, scoped pistol

: Part of the fourth assortment of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] [[Kreon]] [[Micro-Changer]]s, Rhinox can be... no, you don't rebuild him, we can't even complete that. Rhino mode is just the robot mode on all fours.
