Takara Tomy announced MPG-26 Destron Rhinox, a figure of Rhinox as converted by the Destron device in Beast Wars episode 16. The figure includes a red head, two gatling hammers, a sword, and a beast mask. Preorders open August 5, 2026, with release in late March 2027.
The MPG line's next entry pulls from a single episode of the 1990s series. MPG-26 Destron Rhinox depicts the character after the Destron conversion device turned him evil in episode 16, "Rhinox Goes Berserk."
The figure swaps the usual color scheme for the dark palette seen on screen, and the beast mode's horn and eyes match the episode's design. A red head piece lets collectors recreate the full transformation of the rhino's head. Two gatling hammers come in an original color, and one can be stored inside the beast mode, as the toy from the original broadcast did. A sword based on the one included with that earlier release is also included, along with a beast mask that reproduces the mutant head and can be attached to the robot head while still opening and closing.
Takara Tomy lists the figure at 35,200 yen, with preorders starting August 5, 2026, and shipping planned for late March 2027.
