Rhino is a Maximal from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

I may have to crap my own legs to transform, but at least I'm not Rally's Rhinox.

Rhino turns into a rhino. No, he's not Rhinox.

What he's like depends from continuity to continuity; see entries below for details.

Fiction

Beast Wars Perfect Book

Rhino is a Maximal ground soldier and his main attack is a body-ramming slam. Prairie fighting is his specialty, but he's not good in confined spaces. Beast Wars Perfect Book

IDW Beast Wars comics

Unlike what one would expect from a member of a technological race, Rhino is not too preoccupied with cold science. He is a mystical being who finds power in Ancient Cybertronian incantations and spells. Seemingly impossible feats he has performed, such as amazing physical prowess beyond his body's technical specifications, seem to indicate there is some truth behind his beliefs. Deeply spiritual, he is well-read about the legends of Primus and his arch-enemy Unicron, and convinced that whenever he destroys an opponent, the inner strength found within that enemy's spark joins his own.

Part of the first McDonald's Beast Wars promotion, Rhino transforms into a rhinoceros. His head bears a striking resemblance to the "mutant head" of the original Rhinox toy.
