- Rhinox (Beast Battle Masters, 2023)
- Part of the first wave of Rise of the Beasts Beast Battle Masters, Rhinox is a 3-inch figure that transforms from rhinoceros to a Gatling gun and back. He is cast is dark greyish brown similar to a black rhinoceros, with silver highlights to make his robotic "musculature" and horns stand out. All 4 of his legs are cast in silver-grey unpaintable plastic and ball jointed, though they can only fold inward and spin, meaning they don't add very much poseability.
- He can weaponize other figures if they have 5mm ports, though his legs tend to get in the way if attached anywhere besides a hand or narrow forearm. His gun barrel does not spin and is only held on with friction, making it removable.
- Like other Beast Battle Masters, Rhinox comes packed on a simple open card with no bubble, held on by plastic bands. His instruction sheet is tucked in the back but with one end folded under the front flap. He is somewhat oddly strapped to the card sideways with legs folded under, likely to prevent the feet from being easily removed.
- The design of Rhinox's gun mode is very peculiar; the muzzles on the front do not line up with the barrels behind them, suggesting that the barrels are supposed to spin while the muzzles remain in place. While this is consistent with some multi-barrel gun designs, said real-world weapons generally have only one muzzle since only one barrel is fired at a time; the purpose being to prevent any one barrel from overheating by giving it some time to cool off slightly while the rest get used in turn. This would mean that 7 of the 8 muzzles would be completely redundant. However, this is assuming that Rhinox's minigun form is meant to bullets or that lasers would have the same effect as solid projectiles on the barrel of the weapon that fires them.
- Rhinox (Battle Changers, 2023)
- Released in the first wave of Rise of the Beasts Battle Changers, Rhinox is a simplified 4.5-inch figure that transforms from robot to rhinoceros and back in 6 steps! His chain gun is permanently affixed to his right arm.
