Rhino or Puma? A Warhammer Meme of Space Marine Misidentification
Tactical Vehicle Misidentification
This meme kicks off with an enthusiastic red-armored Space Marine, proudly pointing to a classic Ultramarines Rhino transport and shouting, “Behold! A RHINO!” The Rhino, a staple of Adeptus Astartes logistics, looks as blocky and utilitarian as ever, parked stoically in the barren battlefield like the good boy it is. The Marine even wears a “TRAINEE” badge, suggesting he’s either new to the job or has been demoted for poor battlefield zoology. Standing next to him is a stern, blonde Sister of Battle with a look that screams “I regret everything.” Her expression is unreadable, likely because her brain is buffering what just happened. It’s a textbook example of how Space Marines might not be the brightest when it comes to Terran animal names.
It’s Clearly Not a Rhino
In the second panel, the awkward silence is deafening—nobody moves, nobody breathes, and the Sister’s bionic eye seems to twitch with suppressed judgment. Then in the final panel, the same Marine crosses his arms and drops the deadpan punchline: “Looks more like a puma to me though.” It’s a callback to the classic Red vs. Blue gag, and it lands beautifully like a bolt shell to the funny bone. The Sister stares into the abyss, possibly reconsidering her entire career in the Imperium. Her expression says what every Warhammer fan is thinking: how did this man survive the Black Carapace implant but not basic vehicle recognition? It’s peak Warhammer humor—grimy, absurd, and delivered in power armor.
