For those not in the know, the little remote control tank on Rhinox's desk is Tankor, from Beast Machines, the sequel series to Beast Wars. In that series it was revealed that Optimus Primal's former right-hand robot went bad and became the evil Tankor. I never liked this plot twist. It didn't seem to make narrative sense to me at all. I did like Tankor's design, though. And I enjoyed Tankor's initial portrayal as a big dumb brute. Big dumb strong guys can be a good laugh.
