#transmetal

Alright time to get obscure. Here's some fan art of Rhinox from Beast Wars based on his Transmetal toy that never showed up in the TV show.

I ended up making my own spin on the character bio you could cut out of the back of the toy box.

So your three colors are:

-The orginal Transmetal figure

-The "Fox Kids" repaint (that i desperately tried to get my grandma to buy for me at a Rite Aide as a kid)

After all this time, finally someone back home came looking for the missing autobots, but unfortunately he wasn't looking to help, wasp is looking to settle the score with bumblebee and would do anything to get his way, even becoming a horrible transmetal mutant

Wasp HATES bumblebee, a trottlebot reject he used to hang around cliffjumper and bee back in the day where he had the most experience between the three of them. but his overconfident, opportunistic personality caused bee to pay extra attention to him as he reminded him of his brother hot rod, and wasp hated every second of it.

bumblebee's constant attempts to further their friendship really got to his nerves, seeing the whole exercise as an atempt to control him, and keep him away from his true potential as an autobot scout, he left their little friend group literally one day before optimus choose them to go on the mission to earth

Wasp came crawling back, begging to be let back into the team but he made it more than clear he wanted nothing to do with them the previous day so bumblebee in an act of pettiness, already filled his spot with hot rod and left, leaving wasp to think on his life, while bee and the others would be kocked offline thought to be dead for years, when wasp learned of the disappearance of the mission that in his eyes belonged to him. Rather than be sad about the loss of his old friends, or be relieved he wasn't one name in the list of missing persons among them, wasp grew obsessed with "what if"

What would have happened if he was aboard the ship, could he have made a difference when they got attacked? He convinces himself he would've, and becomes obsessed with tracking down the lost autobot ship, determined to prove he's better than the others, losing sleep and eventually tracking them down but as he wasn't a good pilot, his ship crashed, leaving him stranded on the planet alongside the other autobots

But when he arrived at their new base, he saw a new trottlebot, glyph. Wasp always knew hot rod wasn't really a replacement, he was too different but glyph was born from the same mold as him, was green like him and even had a nasally voice like him,

from his twisted perspective it was clear as day that he never really mattered to anybody, he was expendable, and bumblebee was a liar who clouded his judgement by looking so weak as to make him think he was actually important to somebody, only to be thrown out the moment he wanted more,

Picked up a MISB BW TM Fox Kids Airazor a while back, and she is a delight. She's not like, the most out there as far as Transmetals are concerned, but she's still distinctly odd, which I love. The claws on her arms are a big part of that. Though, I will say, the hips are not great as far as a comparison to modern articulation is concerned. The ball joints are fine, it's just that the sculpting on the socket means the legs can't come out too far. She's bulky, too. Those wings are huge and in general most of the alt mode is on her back. Cool transformation, though, even if I am horribly hesitant to do it again with that MASSIVE wall of chrome (and her quarter century old plastic...). First TF toy designed as a girl, though!

update: i added behind the design to show what parts i was influenced from.

update 2: I changed the sword design slightly to make it more like godzilla's dorsal plate and fixed the head size of the human size form.
