Emiliano Santalucia has updated his blog with a couple of concept sketches he did for the Transformers Generations Voyager Class Rhinox that was revealed at BotCon 2013.

Directly from the Botcon reveals, here is the first design from the Generation figures I helped designing.
I worked on these with Joe Kyde. The process was pretty straight forward, so there aren't other sketches of alternate versions.
The kind of rhinoceros was changed for the final alt mode, but I think it was the right choice as it now looks a lot more intimidating than mine!
I loved doing Rhinox, especially trying to capture the right attitude, silhouette and the details form the cartoon, and i'm so happy to see it translated so faithful to a toy!

From concept to reality................

At first I was all like, "but I'm not collecting the new Beast Wars figures."

Then I was like "Screw it, he's too awesome not to buy. I'll put him with my Autobots"

Nicely done design. Still wish he had his iconic lips, but meh, doesn't bother me too much.

Just can't wait til Rhinox and the onslaught of other Generations: Thrilling 30 gets out in stores. Honestly, I kinda hope they announce even more figures at SDCC than what we were told at BotCon. I need Classics-style and homage toys for sustenance! 8-}

That drawing is a good drawing. I approve.

Much better then the original that I have right now. He might get picked up if i ever come across him in store. I just picked up Sandstorm 30th edition, first time I have seen him in stores.
