The RYNO is a weapon featured in both Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank. It is the ultimate weapon of both games, firing missiles that deal immense damage to enemies.
In the former it is incredibly expensive at 9,999,000 bolts, and only available to be purchased at a vendor in challenge mode. In the latter it could be bought by Clank, for only 2,000,000 bolts, again only in challenge mode. It is delivered to Ratchet as the Pineapple Upside Down RYNO Cake.[1] Both games' weapons could be upgraded to the RYNOCERATOR with use.
Characteristics[]
The RYNO in Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank was not overly large, with a narrower muzzle with only six missiles, and a metallic frame with a red and white color scheme. It utilizes multiple fast-launch swarmer missile warheads, with one full salvo delivering the same area-denial firepower as an entire regiment of indirect-fire artillery batteries.[2] The RYNO is estimated by the warden to weigh thirty pounds while being delivered in cake form.[1]
The RYNOCERATOR is somewhat larger, with a more rounded muzzle that sported seven missiles. It also packs an extra anti-matter bomb into the warhead of each missile.
Gameplay[]

In both Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank, the weapon fires a largely uncontrolled blast of six missiles. Due to the lack of control it functions more like a shotgun, with three or four missiles generally always hitting enemies to the front, and the remainder either targeting those off to the side or missing entirely. Due to this it is more effective against large groups or up close, although its sheer damage output remains unrivaled either way.
The RYNOCERATOR functions largely the same, with a much higher damage output, firing seven missiles, that travel faster as well. The RYNO is also one of the few weapons that does not have ammo available in ammo crates, with ammo in Secret Agent Clank costing 50,000 bolts per round through the Gadgetron PDA.
