Sounds like a great redeco option

Also, I know it's just the Rhino mouth's upper palate behind his head, but it totally looks like Rhinox has long blonde hair and a mohawk.

I think these Beast Wars Masterpiece figures have been absolutely the best of the entire line, which is ironic because I complain about the overly cartoon look on the modern G1 Masterpiece figures, but absolutely am thrilled at how accurate these are to the Beast Wars cartoon. Brain conflicts!

That is funny. I feel the same way. But now that I think about it, it makes sense. Beast Wars being cg was much closer to being photo-realistic. So show to toy works. The 84 cartoon was a drawing of what we imagined to be photo realistic. So show accuracy may be cool and fun for some people looking for cartoon looking models, but for others it seems off.

But then you see different angles and slowly you can see the compromises done to turn this into an actual physical figure. Well Rhinox looked like pure magic once again, so the big question was: how does the back look like? Well, not bad as it turns out. There is a backpack, which he should have, but it looks clean for what it is rather than a mess of parts. You can see for yourself with these images from Takara. The side view of the rhino mode does look more messy with some robot bits peering from the bottom.
Listings from Japanese retailers at their discounted retail price, like $165 USD at Ami Ami. We'll update when Amazon Japan has a similar price.

I agree, especially since he gets a whole new Predacon color scheme with the silver instead of gold and I think a purplish tint to his skin color instead of brown (and perhaps some other color swaps???). A Predacon Rhinox redeco would be very welcomed!

Let's also be clear. Aside from the Dark Design redeco, Rhinox is a one and done mould. He had a Takara colour scheme variation*. But there were no other bots that came from him.

Anyway so I have like a dozen POs there at the moment, not intending to discourage
