I think the reason Rhinox doesn’t get as much attention as other BW characters is because he’s the stabilizing agent of the Maximals. He’s perfectly happy not to be in the spotlight and just dedicate himself to helping his team members. His patience helps temper Cheetor’s impulsiveness, Dinobot’s warrior instincts, and Rattrap’s selfishness. It also compliments Primal’s leadership, and makes him a great second-in-command. The series tried early on to put Rattrap in that role, but really it was Rhinox who ended up taking that place because it fit him like a glove.

Rhinox is definitely one of most favorite characters in "Beast Wars." Some of my favorite moments with him include his speech about sparks, taking down the Predacons after they corrupted him, retrieving Optimus Primal's spark to make him a Transmetal, and crashing into the Nemesis in the finale. As for him being Tankor in "Beast Machines," I liked how they expanded on his 'enhanced evil' side, but I wish the show gave him a chance to redeem himself. I don't care how it would've happened, just as long as he reunited with his old comrades and helped them battle against Megatron. Plus, it would've cool to see him as a techno-organic rhinoceros. Maybe someday Rhinox will appear as a guardian of some relic, like how Primal and Cheetor were in "Prime Wars" and "Cyberverse," respectively.

Ah yes Rhinox, charging into fans hearts everywhere

Rhinox was my favorite Maximal on the Beast Wars series. I feel that he was competent enough to succeed Optimus Primal as leader if necessary.

Thanks for this series! I was a casual fan as a kid and teen (up to Beast Machines) but have found any attempt to get back into transformers overwhelming with all the lore that's accumulated! I'm really glad KZread magically knew I'd like this

I recently rewatched Beast Wars and Beast Machines on Tubi to relive a part of my childhood. Seeing the two so close together made me think about what happened with Rhinox in Beast Machines. PART of me feels like the reason why Rhinox took the path he did after he “woke up” was because of the Predacon programming from Beast Wars. I felt like that even though it was reversed, the programming could have still been dormant so to speak and when Rattrap started poking around, the predacon programming kinda kicked in. But that’s just me rambling on lol

This has lined up quite well with the Kingdom announcement, maybe we'll see rhinox in the Netflix series and get a new figure of him in the toy line

It would be good to always get at least a short clip of the characters talking in the different shows so we can get an idea of how their voices sounded.

Rise of the Beast did not do Rhinox justice.

If they had just leaned more on the corruption of his spark in Beast Machines, I could have seen his turn in a more believable light. Unfortunately for me it just comes off as unbelievable that Rhinox, the most honest and level-headed character in Beast Wars, would just flip like that. I’ll just quote what Phelous said about it: “Yep, That sure was some lovely character assassination.”

I know I’m late but to celebrate the basics and Chris McFeely reaching 100,000 subs. I have binge watched all 110 videos in the basics playlist! What a joy it’s been! Keep up the amazing work

Gee, I wonder what he transforms into

Truly one of if not THE best transformers series. Beast Wars established SO much lore and utilized it so well. I even liked the dark arc of Beast Machines, minus the character designs of the Maximals. But sadly, I'd be surprised if that show gets pulled from history due to uts genocidal tone and constant correlations to the holocaust. Excellent episode Chris, more Beast Wars stuff please.

The guy is unforgettable, and for a supporting character has some of the best quotes from Beast Wars. "When a Spark goes online, there is great joy... When a spark is extinguished, the universe weeps" and when asked what being a predacon was like? "Like you've got 4 gigs of attitude on a 2 gig hard drive, no wonder they got personality issues!"

Fun fact: There's a monster in Final Fantasy III for SNES called "Rhinox" which looks like a bipedal rhinoceros. Ted Woolsey is the translator of that version that named the creature. Its original Japanese name was "Desutoroida" (Destroyer, as it is called in FF VI Advance). It has access to a spell called "Life3/Reraise" which it lacks sufficient Magic Points to actually use, though if Gau learns its Rage, he can use Life3 very early in the game, compared to when you actually get an Esper than can teach that spell to you. Since the game was released in America in 1994, but Beast Wars started in 1996, it may be possible that the name for the Beast Wars character was inspired by the game, though this has never been confirmed.

2:00 primal's face + Chris McFeely's lines...makes this golden 😂👌

Man I cant believe this series is so old. I remember when it first came out. Beast machines i really need to give another watch. Initially the character designs were very jarring considering I was watching it right after beast wars had finished off, but I knew it was a good show. I remember seeing some of the episodes when I was younger, and despite not liking the character designs initially I really enjoyed the series

Rhinox! MAXIMIZE!! *HORRIFIC BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM*

I'm gonna avoid this video for now because i'm in the middle of watching Beast Wars

I started last year. Quickly became one of my personnal favorite series. So Good!!!

Great tribute of not just one but essentially two polar-opposite characters! Toy history wise, I always thought the Transmetal version of Rhinox was somewhat of a 'missing link' between the original BW Rhinox and BM Tankor due to certain elements of the third 'transport' mode. Rhinox (unnamed) also actually made a brief cameo in the Armada cartoon (as a Cybertronian pilot in the retooled Mini-Con-compatible/engraved Autobot Sigil Transmetal/Unicron's First Horseman of War body). It is interesting to see how a character that only turned 'dark' in one episode in the original series eventually went all the way into the void - even as extreme as becoming a lead harbinger of the Chaos Bringer! (He always was a natural leader, especially during times of peril.) And it is also comforting to know that in the end, he rediscovered the right path and found salvation; even revisiting spiritual aspects of the original character within the multiverse. Do keep up the good cheer, Chris!

6:47 Oh my god! I had that same figure when I was little!

Personally, I loved what they did with Rhinox in Beast Machines. Though I don’t think he agreed with all of Megatron’s ideas. He seemed to mostly agree with getting rid of the organic. I always figured being stuffed inside Tankor drove him a bit mad and perhaps not all of the Pred code had been removed. Or maybe simply being twisted into Tankor ratcheted up his ambitions. That’s why I like Beast Machines. It didn’t play it safe.

I recall having the second of each pair of his Beast series toys as a kid. Wish that I still had them.

Rhinox is the archetype of Beast from X-men. LOVED his automatic cannons though 😍😍😍

The country scorpion with the Cobra tail & the manta ray were my favs. The Manta toy was huge

Just so you know, I'm presently running a Transformers d20 game and your videos have been instrumental in my development of it. Thanks, Chris.

They’re playing our song, Megatron. Time to *DANCE!!!*

Thank you for this video. As an old Rhinox fan, I love how you sumarized him so well :)

Its been 20 years i wonder if there will remake or atleast a new beast themed TF series.
