Fiction

TransTech

When a group of six interdimensional travelers found themselves in the multiversal hub city of Axiom Nexus by mistake, they spoke of the extra-dimensional Cataclysm that threatened their entire universe. To hopefully help explain this occurrence Optimus Prime and Megatron called on the expertise of Rhinox. After some quick data analysis, Rhinox was able explain the source of the travelers' cataclysm—their universe was being replaced by another, due to an unusual shatterpoint caused by the appearance and destruction of Unicron, the destruction of Primus' avatar, a tainted Matrix, as well as an unidentified earlier event.

Though the source of the travelers' cataclysm was found, there was nothing Rhinox or the other TransTech could do for them. Withered Hope

Some time later, Rhinox detected "multiple phenomena across corresponding clusters," even in universal streams long thought destroyed. Rhinox traced the activity back to Primax 207.0 Epsilon in general and its universe's Overlord in particular, along with an invasion force from Primax -408.24 Epsilon. Invasion Prologue He monitored the situation and its effects on the rest of the Multiverse, reporting to Prowl afterwards that other universes were being unevenly affected. He also found that two ships had ended up in an era known to be the location of the Origin Matrix. Invasion: Epilogue

Notes

• Rhinox's alt mode appears to be based on Generations Darkmount but with a crane arm replacing the tank barrel.
