is it me, or does the big guy look like a possible armada megatron retool?

"A little on the short side though."

Nice XD

Makes me wish I bought into exclusives. But the prices for them are rediculous. We need a REAL update for this character rather than an exclusive. Still very cool though!

I'm interested to hear Sabrblades take on this. He has a marvelous ability to track and follow the 'verses.

I'd kill for a Transtech Prowl figure.

Could be, though I doubt them using the same mold twice in two sets

TT Rhinox could easily be made from a RTS Hailstorm

I don't know why, but these 2 pages kinda pissed me off. Maybe it's because I was already in a foul mood. Or maybe it's reminding me that instead of get something cool like a TransTech set or a second Beast Wars set we're getting more Shittered Glass crap.

Also, if that Snake Eyes in a mech suit?! WTF?!

The Transtech designs were from the line that was supposed come after Beast Machines. The one shown here for Megatron was recycled into Armada Megatron.

I just love that Rhinox's job is to watch Transformers cartoons all day.

I love how they've used actual screenshots from the shows for Rhinox's monitors. Very nice touch.

They've got me intrigued, even if the whole multi-verse concept gets a little boring for me.

That's why I kinda like the club's Transtech storyline and SG. There's no previous fiction that they need to follow. Both of these are blank slates. I do hope that we see more of the club's Gobots story as well.

That's TransTech Megatron, whose design was a basis for both Armada Megatron and Animated Shockwave.

Basically, what TransTech Rhinox is saying is that the world of the Marvel UK Annual story "Another Time & Place", which was previously documents as having been destroyed, is somehow no longer destroyed, which doesn't make a lick of sense. Something must have happened in the Classicverse during this year's "Invasion" BotCon story to render that destroyed world no longer such.

I think he's supposed to be a redeco of Cybertron Landmine (which was redecoed into DoFP Axalon Rhinox).

He's looking at comic images too.

I know that, but this is probably a alternate universes Rhinox

So being how this storyline takes place in universe Primax 207.0 Epsilon, we will see Classic vs SG. But you guys know who else is currently in that universe?

THE GO BOTS!!! So do you think it's possible we may see a 3 way showdown next year between Classics vs SG vs Go Bots?

Go-Bots vs Beast Wars vs G2 vs Shattered Glass vs Classics!

Hey, look at that! Octopunch has his helmet and tentacles. Good thing someone's been hard at work making a set for people to get to upgrade Ducktopunch...
