Got a KO ROTF Optimus Prime from my friend Ryan Uybenkee. It was huge. When transformed into a truck i noticed it was the same scale of G.I. Joe.
I took away all the truck parts, added a lot of misc parts and came out with my own version of the 80's M.A.S.K. Rhino that fits the scale of your modern G.I. Joe. This custom has all the features of the original Rhino. What seems to look like a regular 10 wheeler is actually a tank filled with surprises. From the power ram front bumpers, smokestacks becoming high powered laser cannons, doors that open, a mobile command center with a powerful spring action missile launcher, to the all terrain vehicle equipped with bulletproof sheild canopy, front mounted vibration cannons and an additional missile launcher with spring action. Bruce Sato, the Rhinos driver, is made from the G.I. Joes Hardmaster with a custom hand made Lifter Mask. This custom is 5 to 6 inches wide, 16 to 18 inches long, and 9 inches high. Now the newly recruited Matt Trakker finally has his partner to fight against Venom! Here were some reference pictures i found over the internet Truck Mode Alt mode Assault mode All terrain vehicle Last edited by toyphilia; 01-26-2015 at 12:20 PM.. |

Had that when I was a kid. My favorite feature was the ejector seat.

That is looking awesome!! Who are the drivers going to be?
M.A.S.K. was bigger than Joe for me back in the day, I have always been a car guy and this line was simply beautiful Come on hasbro bring us a new line of M.A.S.K. toys---a 30th anniversary would rock. |

it is a huge project but its fun. the challenge is how to maintain all the features in Rhino. Originally having the truck mode as a Huge KO Prime really helps, less cutting/trimming of the parts.

I am hoping to start on Outlaw soon, just won a Bruder. Still thinking about what to use for the base of the Rhino. Would love to have one of those KO Primes but I am betting they are pretty expensive. I am thinking about getting a Bruder truck for Rhino and then scratch building the sleeper on the back of it.
