I am saddened that his tail doesn't seem to lift to recreate that iconic scene.
Other than that (and the unpainted chainguns), he looks pretty darned cool!

Yeah, he's a little bit awesome. 
Although I have to say I'm surprised by the size comparisons to the other Beast Wars figures. Are Dinobot and Cheetor quite large deluxes or is Rhinox looking to be quite small?

A bit of both, Rhinox is a current gen Voyager, which are smaller than they used to be. Cheetor and Dinoboot are both Deluxes from 2008, and are larger than current deluxes.
On top of that, Rhinox is pretty compact and packs a whole lotta mass, while the other two are very slender and long in alt-mode.

Yeah, that makes sense I suppose. I guess Waspinator and the rumoured Rattrap would compare well to him then. What's everyone's impressions of the two Universe deluxes? Are they worth picking up or should I pray for HasTak to revisit those characters?

Pray.
Cheetor is utter crap, avoid at all costs, get the original toy. Dinobot is OK, best version of the character to date, but not perfect, would have needed to be Voyager to be perfect.

I have Cheetor and I can sum him up in three images
Great Cheetah Mode
Flatfooted under-armed lackluster robot mode
... with a huge backpack
Not for the casual collector.

Given how long it took for this line to go back to Beast Wars period, it's hard to say. As crappy as Cheetor is, I would prefer they went forward with more Beast Wars characters. The figure is really weak, but I'm still glad I have him just for completeness. Same thing about Leo Prime.
Did you ever think about getting the Titanium Cheetor? I hear that one is pretty decent, although I don't have one personally.

I am going to be bold and actually saying something negative about this toy. I don't like that beast mode rhino face. Especially the eyes. I hate that they went for a realistic rhino look instead of going for a more show-accurate face that better resembles the big Horn-Head we all know and love.
And I don't like how his brown is more toy-accurate tan instead of show-accurate brown.
Or how his robot mode arms are exposed in beast mode.
Or how his chest looks wrong.
Oh, and his lips are gone.
As are the spikes that went on his legs.
Doesn't stop me from liking this figure, though.

I recommend the Beast Wars Telemocha Series version of the original Cheetor toy.Dead Metal wrote:Cheetor is utter crap, avoid at all costs, get the original toy.
The Henkei! Henkei! Dinobot is the version everyone should get.Dead Metal wrote:Dinobot is OK, best version of the character to date, but not perfect, would have needed to be Voyager to be perfect.
You might still wanna at least consider Dinobot. Specifically this one:Sodan-1 wrote:I feel better about not having them already. Money saved! Thanks you two.

He looks fantastic, and I'll definitely be picking him up. Probably with Doubledealer, since I had that toy as a kid and am somewhat nostalgic for him.
The only downside with Rhinox is that he reminds me that I still can't find the Robot Masters/Telemocha Optimus Primal anywhere.
Please Hasbro, make my life easier (and probably cheaper) and release that figure in the US also.

Better colors, but my concerns were more geared towards the mold itself, rather than the deco.

Indeed...for the guns. Hasbro Rhinox actually looks organic in beast mode, as he should. Takara's Rhinox can suck it.

But I don't care. Rhinox and every other bot on that show looked like clay animals anyway, and that's how they're remembered as looking.

That's likely due to Takara bizarrely making the organic rhino parts shiny while leaving the supposed-to-be-shiny green robot parts not-shiny.Manterax Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Better colors
