Rhinox (BW)

This article is about the Beast Wars Maximal. For the Armada Autobot, see Rhinox (UT).

Rhinox is a Maximal in the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity.

"I will usher in a new age of technological perfecti-- er, I mean, yay, pretty flowers."

Rhinox is a Renaissance Bot. Intelligent, massive, strong, and stalwart, there are few Maximals one could depend on more. Rhinox is of a rare breed -- he's incredibly tech savvy, but mystically-inclined... without coming off as a burnt-out technohippie. He's quick and decisive in a crisis, with spectacular results, but is slow and steady. He loves to sniff the flowers. A behind-the-scenes charismatic and an on-his-feet strategist, he could lead the Maximals if he wanted to, but he doesn't.

If he sounds too good to be true, it's because he just might be. At times he can be borderline obsessive and single-minded. The Maximals are glad he's on their side, because if he ever had a change of heart, woe be to them. No, woe be to the galaxy.
