[[File:RhinoMkIborRH1-N0-1988.jpg|thumb|300px|Rhino MkIb Armoured Assault Vehicle{{Fn|11}}]]
The oldest surviving Rhino pattern is the '''MkIb [[Mars]] Pattern''', which was produced in such numbers that many surviving examples still exist. However, these machines are considered past their prime and no longer constructed, though they are still used with honour and respect. Compared to the current MkIIc pattern, the MkI's drive and engine system is less robust, lacking the same redundancy system. However it has a slightly higher top speed, load-bearing capacity, and requires less maintenance time.{{Fn|2b}}
Unlike the later [[Rhino&action=edit#MkIIc_Mars_pattern"| MkIIc Mars Pattern]], the MkIb is capable of transporting 5 [[Terminators]] in its passenger hold and did not restrict the carrying of [[Assault Marine]]s, able to carry up to 10 of them as with other full sized marine squads.{{Fn|29a}}{{Fn|29b}}
