It depends on price and how it looks to determine if I'll bite on this.
Generations has been killing it with BW, and it's taken all the interest I had in BWMPs away.

Excellent. Gonna be big... he's a smidge taller than Tigatron, but a head shorter than Dinobot.
Let's hope there's not too much fakery going on with the chest.

This looks like it could be really nice, but for me too I'll not be bothering since I'm also quite happy with what Generations has been doing for the Beast Wars figures. To the point that I'll be getting rid of my Beast Wars Masterpieces at some point in the future. Mostly because it's a line that's now impractical to collect, thanks to the cost of having a Conservative government crisis.

Looks like another inside out transformation... Articulated ears, all transformers should come with them.

Rhinox will be $235usd.
I'm out. That literally killed any viable interest I had in this.

I was capped out at about £150, £175 at a push... but then again, we are getting close to a complete BW S1 crew, and Airrazor and Ratrap must be next on the cards. It'd be a shame not to have all those Maximals... |

I've got them all in Generations.
The scale and price range I enjoy more. And of all the ones that have Generations and MPs, I actually enjoy the generations versions more.

Yeah, that is a very nice looking Rhinox, but I'm not paying that much for him. A shame.

Omegalock is the UK side of TFS-Express. If you order from Omegalock it's shipped from within the UK, from TFS-Express it's direct from China.
Omegalock use DPD and shipping is usually about £7.50.

Bit the bullet and gone for Amazon JP. Weird 15 stage "puzzle" to confirm my new account - pretty sure these are primarily just for capturing data for machine learning rather than actually verifying the account creator isn't a bot, but hey ho. Showed me the charge in GBP too, so that was nice.

Mine showed up fine from Amazon, but I had 2 on order so maybe it was a larger more solid box.
Didn't overly enjoy the transformation, lots of panels, but worth it for the robot mode, looks great.

Well I did it. What a nightmare getting the arms back in position for the front legs and trying to remember the best position for weapon storage. Although it's not so much weapon storage as there's dead space in the middle, so let's make one of the guns fold up and just shove it in there.
That said, a lot of the panels do have pegs/clips to attach them to each other, legs and arms which does help a lot with getting everything positioned well.
I do worry about the white teeth on the chest however. Any paint chipping will be very noticeable and aligning panels/limbs or storing the gun in the chest cavity really makes this a possibility.
