Concept artist Emiliano Santalucia has shared some new images of concept artwork that he did for Hasbro, this time as a part of the process for bringing about a new Transformers toy. Working alongside former Hasbro employee Joe Kyde, Emiliano helped to develop the concept of Generations Rhinox, from the 30th Anniversary Series. In his blog post Emiliano mentions that the concept was fairly straightforward so there were not a lot of design changes, other than the kind of rhinoceros for the final alternate mode.

Looks great. Can't wait to see it in person. I'm still hopefully for an equally faithful recreation of his Vehicon side, Tankor on a large scale.

You were expecting something else? Wasn't he a rhino before?

Art work looks as awsome as the figure! I'm beyond hyped for this Rhinox an Waspy. Long over due, an highly anticipated by me.

One of my Favorite TM ever!

I wonder how tall he is going to be. I have the Ultron figures of BW megs and primal

Awesome! I'd love to see more concept art for the Generations line, this is really cool stuff. What a nice figure too, Hasbro and everyone involved did a great job translating from the CGI model to a concept drawing to a figure.

They didnt include his controversial TransMetal snowmobile mode?
Ultrawave
I'd guess that's so they can figure out where the panel lines will be and where any visible robo parts will be (if any)

Right? lol

In the future, when Hasbro does something I don't like. I will always look at Generations Rhinox and think to myself. This is a toy we didn't deserve yet we got it. I'll never be able to stay mad at Hasbro.

I love how his toy has less kibble than he has in the show.

Definitely the most anticipated generations figure. So far at least. But that thing is a work of beauty.

I don't care what anyone says,Generations Rhinox is absolutely a work of art,and he is going in my collection when he is release,that thing couldn't get any awesomer.

Wow, the line art looks fantastic. I cannot wait to see closer in-hand photos of the toy.

This has wider hips than the promotional pictures. Hopefully, it was implemented into the Voyager and they kinda mistransformed it because the concept art's hips look so much better.

I like how the concept for Beast Mode is, well, a rhino.

I love it when a toy company actually come off looking like fans of their product.
Generations Rhinox and Waspinator are nothing short of brilliant. I look forward to seeing more.
