Rhinox's specific, core BW Canon role after Chainguns of Doom is pretty much tech support. That defines part of his ICness. So, like, what are we doing..? >_>
I think part of it is patience, Dal, and the other is playing more freely from the script since most players would rather steer away from the strict dialect and actions. The show's script is more like a general guideline so we don't get lost in the episodes and they don't carry on forever. However, when it comes to patience, I do kind of think NK and Alak jumped the gun a little, taking away Dinobot's enjoyment in squishing Waspinator and proving his allegiance one step further with protecting Optimus while he was down. However, like Rhinox, Dinobot no longer has a permanent owner in the game, so maybe Blazemane was fine with the actions that were taken. On another note, I know that Icebreaker and Orcariner wanted to help, but I think they probably should've continued on their way since they were heading in a different direction, and because of the show, it was moreso Dinobot's right to take out the Preds since he was in the immediate area of the ambush. They should've given Blazemane a chance to post for Dinobot before jumping in kind of randomly and then splitting off just as abruptly.
Let's try to keep things sensible, guys, and not "steal" someone else's fun.
To clean this up, I'll use Icebreaker's missile instead of Dinobot's laser eyes, so the missile will knock loose the boulder and crush Waspy. Then everyone can go on from there. ))
Waspinator simply shook his head, wondering why he could never take full credit when things actually went according to plan and when he wasn't blown into pieces."Yeah, yeah, whatever." "I would have gotten 'im anyway."
"Ambush!" "As I suspected."
The green Predacon gulped, recognizing the voice belonging to the largest Maximal."Preds at 1 o'clock!"
The penguin's missile hammered a large boulder above the wasp, and with a few cracks and debris, it rolled downward and landed right on top of Waspinator before he even knew what happened, flattening the Predacon on his back between the huge rock and the ground.Icebreaker, Maximize!

Rhinox's voice was like a very faint echo, far, far away. Optimus sat in silence inside the CR chamber. Slowly he was coming around, his red optics faintly illuminating and glancing about, acquiring his surroundings. What happened...? he pondered. Then he felt the pain, the agony, of the wounds the two Predacons gave him. Dinobot had been right in his caution, and Optimus admitted to himself that he had been foolish to act so irrationally and in a rush because now the fallen pod was in even greater jeopardy without a flyer to reach it faster. But why the intruders hadn't been picked up on their scanners sooner was a little puzzling as they would've had to have been in robot mode to fire.Optimus..
Carefully, Primal lifted a hand to his deepest injury on his chest and gently felt around. He cringed from the anguish and lowered his hand, taking a deep breath. Primus... The pod... Greatly concerned about the situation, there was nothing he could do but rest and get repaired. After all, he would be of no use in the shape he was currently in. So the Maximal leader's optics dimmed once more and he drifted off, slipping back into darkness.
