Hey, amidst all the other crazy news vis-a-vis toilet files and the like today, there was also a new dang Transformers live-action film! It’s been five years! And it’s Rise of the Beasts, the Beast Wars movie! And so Polygon, as they are wont, reached out to me to talk about it. I ramble about my favorite niche Transformer to appear in it! A lot! It’s technically spoilers, I guess, so don’t click through if you want to go into the movie totally clean, but this cameo’s really only from the first sequence, so you ain’t getting, like, ending details or whatnot. Give it a read if you want to see me type too much about a thing I know a lot about.

Dammit, you had me there for a moment and then I realised I’d put an R after the B that wasnt actually there. 72 hour working week for the win…

I’ve since seen the movie, and didn’t even know that was a canon character. I am disappointed that outside of Optimus Primal and one other, there wasn’t much of a Maximal presence. I’m pretty sure Rhinox didn’t even have a speaking line.
