A fearsome biopunk-style biomechanical rhino, its body a fusion of rusty metal armor, exposed organic tissue, and glowing green circuitry, stands in a dark, atmospheric environment.

Here is a design for a biopunk-style Transformer with a biomechanical rhino alt mode, conceived as a hypothetical post-Transtech concept. This design is influenced by the cancelled Transtech continuity's "technorganic" aesthetic but pushes it further into a darker, more visceral, and unsettling biopunk direction. Core concept: Biometal Symbiont In this timeline, the separation between technology and biology on Cybertron has completely collapsed, giving rise to "Biometal" life forms. These Transformers are no longer machines that mimic animals, but rather a horrifying synthesis of artificial intelligence, living flesh, and cold machinery. A rhino alt mode for a Biometal Transformer would not be a sleek, high-tech vehicle with animal features but a creature that is unsettlingly both organism and engine. Biomechanical rhino alt mode The alt mode is a monstrous, quadrupedal beast that resembles a rhinoceros, but one that has been genetically and mechanically augmented to become a biological weapon. Overall form: The creature's silhouette is an aggressive hybrid of a rhino's powerful build and a walking, industrial siege engine. Its armor isn't seamless plating, but a patchwork of hardened chitinous growths and rusty, riveted metal panels. Veins of glowing energon-fluid pulse beneath translucent layers of biological tissue. Hide and armor: Patches of its hide are hardened, armored organic plates. Other areas are covered in riveted metal plating that appears to be bolted directly See more
