I'm referring to these pics which show other painted details on the face other than just his eye. They also have a grey horn, so, hopefully, these newest pictures still don't reflect the final look of the product. Which is actually a bit annoying.

If the final version says "KFClub" on it's side, I'm cancelling my pre-order for at least the blue one. I don't need his company name on a figure I'm paying for. If he wants to give me a free one, then Ill take the one with the name on it.

I'm more disappointed that the art work shows his hip cannons? and the product has some flat crappy boring looking hip gun i suppose the saving grace for this matter is the couple of mm on top of his hips so dr wu or somebody can put some weaponry on there.

This is no different to that crappy new BH deluxe Dreadwing. With the eyes visible he is definitely not a "Robot in Disguise".

How about you fill it in with silver paint?

That would look like crap. Im hoping these things get mass produced enough that Reprolabels puts out a nice set for both. I like Ramhorn enough to live with the stupid label on the red one. But the blue one is more of a novelty for me. Not sure if I want it that bad.

I know some of you are going to say that enough time has passed that the engineering should be 2013 level for these, but they are still just 2 inch cassettes. it is a bulky rhino with integrated weapons, good enough for me. His eye is visible in alt mode? ZOMG IT'S 2013 WHERE ARE THE EYELIDS?! Its not a big deal:

Dislike the eye tampo and .... well, the tape tampo is nothign to write either. And we've lost the face markings that were a big part of the look. That said, none of that is a deal breaker.

The eye is comical looking.

Good news! I just got my Rhinohorn this afternoon, and he's a fun little character. Definitely worth the purchase price!

I wanted to mention the thickness of the cassette mode. He's only a little wider than regular cassettes and he fits well in old school Blaster, new molds of Blaster and Soundwave, MP Soundwave, and.... Device Label Blaster (kinda). The tape actually fits in the door but he's tall enough where you need to pull Blaster's head back a bit in order to have enough clearance, and of course the door doesn't close all the way either. I don't have an original G1 Soundwave onhand to test with him.

My only qualm is the head is on a balljoint, and not very secure. Mind you, once you've got the pose you're looking for you'll have no problems. But the head easily pops off during transformation or in maneuvering. You'll likely notice this because you have to turn the head 180 degrees during transformation. I'm not sure if using Pine Sol or nail polish will do the trick, and believe it's more that the cavity in the head just could've been better sculpted to accomodate the balljoint.

So, I'm looking forward to the regular color version as well the other molds coming out.
