History

Animutants

Rhinox was the second of primal Optimus on board maximum vessel of exploration the Alaxon . When the vessel was crushed, it remained on board at the side of primal Optimus, as well as maximals Vélocitor and Rattrap. to survive on planet, it taken animal mode of an rhinoceros. Thereafter, Rhinox remained primarily maximum, exepté a short episode or it was captured by the prédators, which reprogrammed it like one as of theirs thanks to a machine of Tarentula. It turned over then among the maximals.

It is noticed that it leaves less and less the base progressively of the series, too occupied working on the machines: in season 3, it almost never leaves the Arch.

Beast Transformers Machines: Tankor

In the series Beast machines, season 1, the spark of Rhinox, which was taken by Véhicons, is reanimated by Mégatron and becomes one of the three véhicons with spark: Tankor, the general of the drones tank. It then takes the shape of a robot-tank with an enormous gun has energy on its right shoulder and cries has twist-and-have-through " TANKOR DETRUIIIIRE! " , which shows a practically null intelligence of course…, at this time there, nobody suspects his preceding identity. Tankor " reveal presque" its old by betraying to him Mégatron in a combat which it should have gained and escapes with the maximals. It remains with them time to make them an exit door then Mégatron takes again control of it. Can-after, Rattrap excavation in its memory and restores it, but Rhinox is not any more the same one and adopts identical behaviors presques has those of Mégatron: to destroy any organic form of life for a supremacy of the machines, etc… Being him same a machine has whole share, it is identified as being " parfait" and exceeding Mégatron in touts points (which is not to him that half has artificial). it leaves the forces of Mégatron while being made pass for dead and imagines a plan which would ensure its supremacy on this planet. at this point in time Rhinox (or Tankor) adopts the behavior of a super genius calculator of a surgical precision. It acts as " then; second large méchant" and at the end of season 1 malicious the principal.
becomes He discovers the room of oracle (they is there that the maximals received their biomechanical bodies), takes control and steals of it a key which makes it possible to transform any organic matter into robot-like matter and incorporates it has its gun. He then becomes an enormous threat for our friends maximals which believes it too dead them. With the assistance of the assisting robot of Mégatron (which it reprogrammed for its own use), it convinc this last to equip all véhicons them of tank type of the gun anti-organics: sight that he was the chief of this alternative and that he did not die, he ace an absolute controls on them and directs them to the nose and the beard of Mégatron (which does not suspect nothing absolutely). Having taken the control of Oracle, it is him which " dicte" primal Optimus has the procedure to follow and the influence in all its choice and gives has this last the capacity to start a bomb which anéhentirait any robot-like form of life (all opposite of the key). It will not start it, thinking that Oracle handles it, and will leave to face all alone Mégatron…. that Rhinox well-on had envisaged. At the end of season 1, the plan of succeeded Rhinox: all the biomechanical robots became machines has whole share… But, against all waitings, Optimus starts the bomb…

Character

As opposed to what lets think its aspect (massive body, incredible force…), Rhinox is far from being stupid: it is on the contrary a true scientific genius. For the remainder, its character is a little double: on a side, he is a quite disposed giant, who only seeks to make the good. Of another, it can be of a fury devastator, and behave savagely.

In Beast machines, Rhinox, become Tankor, has initially a brain as small as a dry grape, then it becomes a malefic version of which it was auparavent: a super insane erudite genius/and ultra-calculator, which is not without pointing out its equivalent prédator Tarentula.
