Is this resin or ABS plastic?

I don't know much about these guys, so please tell me that's a prototype and the actual figure will come with a few paint apps...

TFS: CST-01SG - Rhinohorn Evil Version

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 10:52 pm

Painted pics are up at BBTS. This guy looks sweet! No tape details, though, which is a pity. Hopefully Reprolabels picks up the slack here.

EVIL RHINOHORN PROFILE

Abrasive, obtuse, belligerent; these are all words that Evil Rhinohorn would use to describe lesser beings. He prides himself on his ability to speak as eloquently as possible, he actually does this in an attempt to be as precise as possible, but ironically, it makes his oratorical sonorities too pleonastic to be expeditiously assimilated.
His expanded vocabulary has led to his team-mates mocking him, and referring to him as dictionary bot, he simply smiles, keeps walking and replies “thesaurus bot would be more accurate”. Little do his team-mates know how veracious that statement is, as he often punctiliously studies synonyms in his spare time.
His rhino mode has meant that his function in war can be a little one-dimensional, and he worries extensively over the repeat impacts he puts his CPU through, as he routinely charges head first through enemies or barricades. More recently, he has noticed himself slipping up, and mixing up his big words, and he has vowed to not let these repeated obtrusions dull his perspiration.

Also, a G1 colored version will be coming up soon.

What's up with that cartoony eye? Why isn't the other side of his face decoed? The details on the top are also meant for the bottom of a tape, so if he was paced in Blaster correctly everything will be upside down.

Not impressed.

It has eyes on both sides.

And I didn't say it didn't.

There are identical details on both sides of the face. We have only seen this one picture with any tampographs. I don't understand your comment.

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.
