Rhinox doesn't need to be duped to be amazing unlike Wheeljack. And Ratchet... is Ratchet. Rhinox''s Power Lock is extremely useful, stopping difficult defenders like Cheetor and Megatronous dead in their tracks. His Bleeds make him do great Damage in the Ranged game and the Melee Damage boost he gets from it makes him really good in the Melee game, something rare in Tech Bots. But wait, there's more! Rhinox is in that extra juicy Beast Purification Synergy, purifying Debuffs like they're nothing.
Also, look at this:
I managed to win this fight. So yeah, Rhinox is the answer.
I just like wheeljack, he's got survivability against the likes of 1hit K.O bots and thanks to nano-jack being a thing, that survivability goes up further.
Also he can heal, any bots that have a way of healing are good imo, saves me some energon 😅
Shield or not, wheeljack is still the better option. Get that first upgrade to be a power one, bit sp3, and spam away. Increased power rate combined with the power drain on sp1 plus repair on sp3 gives him more survivability than Rhinox. And that’s without him being duped.
Edit, something to consider. Rhinox’s Powerlock needs 16 seconds before it resets to usual % it’ll proc. WJ with 3 power upgrades will throw out a sp1 within 10 seconds if your aggressive
I would recommend Rhinox over WJ.
WJ is great defensively with the Nano power, but is too unpredictable offensively. The extra effects of his SP attacks are really up to chance. Sometimes you get all 3, sometimes you get none.
Rhinox has bleed, power lock and shields... And shock if awakened, though it's not exactly a game changing signature ability.
Plus Rhinox has the Beast synergy, which may be the best one in the game.
In my case, I prioritised Wheeljack because he is useful for both base defence & spotlight missions. But I also seriously considered Rhinox, because he is also useful in spotlights & raids. It’s just that I don’t raid too much, so I went for Wheeljack.
