>The Tankor/Rhinox stuff is completely unforgivable
This bothered me as a kid and it still bothers me now.
I can understand the other changes to the characters' personalities, even if they weren't executed very well (looking at you, Silverbolt).

But Rhinox basically telling Optimus (and the audience) that no, he's not brainwashed and that he genuinely agrees with Megatron is infuriating. I'm not sure there is a member of the Maximals who that sort of 180 would even remotely work for, but Rhinox stands out. He was the most dependable member of the team and a spiritual 'bot who basically introduced the concept of sparks and even flew a shuttle through the side of the Nemesis just to stop Megatron.
Fuck.
