I just tracked down one of the last gaps in my Studio Series collection - here’s Lockdown!

It’s actually the Takara version, which is kinda neat! Only difference is the box, but it’s still cool to compare to the regular Studio Series boxes.

Lockdown himself is great! The molded detail is especially good on this guy, and the gunmetal paint looks really nice too. There actually isn’t too much paint work I have to add for alt mode!

I wasn’t too sure if he used both these weapons at the same time in AOE, but I rewatched the final battle again, and he does!

I really wish I had gotten more of his Shadow Raiders, I enjoy that mold, it turned out nice!

Also well done on your Ratchet. The green definitely pops with the NEST colors

I never saw Shadow Raider at retail, but I wish I had! They're real cool looking.

Thank you!

Just ran across this on Baidu…

SS RotB Optimus Prime it would seem.

Yes, that image is part of the recently shown Shanghai convention images.

Just got informed that my local Gamestop has WFC Barricade but can't sell him until the 19th.

The SS Prime looks good, and I am glad that it appears as if his sword can be hand held or peg in like it is coming out of his arm. That is a nice touch I wish the DotM Prime could do

We saw that the next wave of Studio Series voyagers were ready for distribution and someone got their hands on Rhinox. They made a quick review showing that the shoulders are mistransformed on the box. We also get a look at the Rhino mode from different angles, some less flattering than others.

Let us know what you think!

Okay. SO I saw his face and my first thought was Doom from the first Fantastic Four movie. Am I wrong?

Is it just me or does he look like he’s one green cloak away from ruling his own fictional eastern European country?

No…
‘Behold the power or Rhino-Doom”

He looks pretty dang good to me

[-Kanrabat-]

That Rhinox look very, VERY good. He may be the best looking one so far, all lines included.

Possibly coroborating that date, Amazon says mine will be here on the 21st. Also he is in stock on Pulse right now as well.

LMAO. My post just before you made yours said the same thing

Looks very nice in both bot and alt mode. But... they took away his ability to open his mouth? The feature that was on every other Rhinox figure? And now also the iconic roaring scene from the trailers?

*edit* NVM, rewatched the vid and there seems to be a tiny hinge for the tiny brown underside of the rhino mouth. So it probably can open. He's just got a tiny mouth now compared to his other counterparts.

According to The Low Road, it's not his mouth blast that you should be worried about

I am a bit disappointed most of these voyager beast-formers only have a basic "stand-up and walk" transformation. So much wasted puzzle-potential.

Transmetal Rhinox outclasses this toy in complexity.

All except the Transmetal Rhinox mold.

It really is. Plus the odd decision to give them zero beast kibble in robot mode means they've all got pretty generic and boring silhouettes.

Not sure what you're referring to. Are you talking about the battle master Rhinox that splits it's ass open and transforms into a phallic gatling gun? Fear the ass?

The Beast Wars episode The Low Road when Rhinox has the energon discharge virus. Then he eats bean vines. Then the entire planet shakes.

Thanks for the vid LOL. So it is still "fear the ass", but different. I wonder if the ass-ling gun battle master Rhinox was referencing this scene.

Didnt think of that. I may buy 10 just for that reference
