    Don't know if anyone remembers the junky original Minicon Rhinox I posted along with the other first set of minicons, but it was bad. Really bad. It couldn't stand, it wasn't possable, and it just didn't even look good.
    So I made a new one from scraaaaaaaatch.

    Parts were from EVERYWHERE
    - Arms from a Legion Prime Cliffjumper with rhino toes added.
    - Chest from Armada Demolisher's minicon PURELY for the shoulder&hinge joints.
    - Head from a snowplow minicon(Same one as my Minicon TM Megatron, just sanded differently).
    - Thighs from a powercore minicon.
    - Knees&lower legs are from a TM2 Optimus Minor, chopped to make Rhinox properly sized.
    - Guns are from Prime Legion hammer weapons.
    - Beast Head came from BW Basic Iguanus, ears and rhinox toes from TM2 Scarem. Skirt from Scarem's chest. Held to the body via twist tie wire, making it not get in the way of posability.
    - Various parts bulked via contour putty.

    The Maximals(so far) assemble:

    Comparison with the original Minicon:

    Dinobot v2 and Scorponok v2 are almost done as well. REALLY excited to show off the Dinobot. Also will just be glad to be rid of the older minicons now, they just never looked good enough to me.
