I'm in the same boat as you plus I have a duped 4* Bonecrusher, but I'm taking Rhino to be my first R4 bot because of the AM and better synergy's with my other 4* bots.
All-purpose G1 Prime first anyway.
Rhinox is a good Tech with reliable output. His sig is more on the defense side (like if you put him on base) because you shouldn't rely on taking crit hits to actually do damage. But his attack buff against bleeding opponents, power lock/burn, reliable nullify and shielding really give him good control of the fight. And yes, his S2 strips map 3 boss G1 Megatron from his Phase1 immunity right away.
OG Prime! You will not regret it mate Rhinox is good but he ain’t a god tier champ like OG Prime..
OG Prime dishes out huge damage on specials and heavies and when you eventually do dupe him.. welcome to the old man clan.. signature is crazy good those bleeds aw jeez rick those bleeds.
So do og Prime you won’t regret I pinky promise mate
@CandKane i put them about the same individually but feel the synergies for prime put him as a better mission bot.
Hmm true Megs synergies mostly just help him. Prime is, unsurprisingly, a better team player.
A permanent armor buff within a few combos though is pretty awesome, and he can shut down Motormaster or Grimlock with an S2, which Optimus can't.
og prime can do ROK with Ratchet - og mega will never be an ideal bot for that
Step 1: Throw S3 and fuse.
Step2: Run screaming like a little girl
Step 3: Profit!
Okay fine maybe not perfect in all circumstances, but I have neither Prime or Ratchet at 4*

His inherited synergy of heals from ratchet as well as his special three putting a perm armor debuff make him the best bot for RoK.
