Love this guy! Extremely excited that Hasbro is showing some love to Beast Wars! That show was my introduction to Transformers and gives me the most awesome nostalgia vibes! Nice to see you and Chefatron are good buddies! Yoy guys are probably two of my favorite reviewers! Keep up the good work!
The cheetah eyes are left plain orange because it's meant to represent the original Beast Wars toy which had plain orange eyes or a variant with green eyes and a pupil slit.
This is months late but I hope you read this! Beast wars was my first transformers series and I still have my OG cheetor with the two guns. I recently bought a third party guts and tail gun add-on from eBay. I’m not sure if you purchase and review them but it seems like a lot of the comments miss the guts gun specifically. Keep up the content! It’s so thorough, positive, and shows a vast knowledge of the media that is inspiring.
hey bro, thanks for the Peg of Doom reference! LOL i do say it a lot, though i can’t really claim copyright for it since i heard it years ago from an old time TF reviewer Josh (BikerTrashWolf) made me laugh though 😀😁 thanks mate 👍🏻
Hahaha for me it will always be your phrase 😂 whenever I’m transforming a figure for the first time and come over a little peg, I always say to myself “it’s a peg of DOOM!” Haha thanks for checking the video out
Great review PrimeVsPrime!!!!!!!! :D Cheetor is fantastic looking, though I may pass on him, since I spent $45 on the 2009 deluxe class figure back in 2017. :P Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
Hey, just wanted to mention, I think the reason they painted his eyes solid orange is for in robot mode, he would look accurate to his CGI model without making a complex feature to change his eyes from green to that, just fyi
Thank for doing this review PrimevsPrime this kingdom Cheetor beast wars figure is going to look great with the other beast wars kingdom figures once we get them and by the way the weapon is a call back to his whip he used when he became a Transmetal
originally was iffy on the kingdom idea in war for cybertron even for one who loved beastwars. but with every reveal im more and more excited. specially for my favorite predacon waspinator toy reveal.
The Masterpiece version wasn't trying to have the same cheetah heads in both modes. The animation model of the cheetah head in robot mode looks completely different. They do have the same head for the MP Tigatron though because that was accurate to the show.
Rattrap was amazing for $10. This one however seems a bit more iffy for $20. He just doesn't look that great to me compared to my other deluxe classes. Maybe if he had more paint.
Nice review! Just the blade of the weapon is meant to face away from him when holding it. Are there 5 mm ports inside the blue parts that connect the beast mode front legs with the body? Because as far as I can tell from Kingdom Rattrap, Cheetor, Blackarachnia and Megatron they don't have a lot of compatibility with Weaponizers, Modulators and Fossilizers. Rattrap actually seems to have no 5 mm ports at all.
I wish he was different shades of tan instead of yellow, and he didn't have the blue, so it wasn't so ugly. And that the cheetah arms were transformed similarly to his legs, so he didn't just have a shell on his back
The legs could had some more work done. the way the cheetah legs fold up is good but the thighs dont need to be slotted out entirely. they could have had a spring loaded filler plate, like siege starscream had. So that you fold the cheetah paw in and it rests under the knee joint, maybe thoops into place and the rest of the cheetah leg could push the gap filler plate in, revealing a cutout slot whre there leg rests in and completes the look of the robot mode leg and then when you go back to beast mode the gap filler, which is spring powered, would just rise up into place as you pull the cheetah leg out.
Jumping gyros this figure looks sick! I relate a lot to Cheetor. Only two things I would change. His eyes needs pupils, and he should have a gun instead of a whip.
Looks pretty good but I think the paint is a little weak. The light blue instead of dark blue and the lack of gold on his body does look a little odd. Still this figure is pretty damn good and I can't wait for third party upgrade kits to include his gut gun and butt blaster.
hmm... ya think they'll recolor this guy, or Tigatron as the weird future ravage from the cartoon? Somehow I'm absolutely sure we'll get a generations selects of it. Maybe not, but if we do, I'm calling it now.
PrimeVsPrime there’s been news that you been paying large amounts of money to the people who stole transformers toys from the line kingdom,Generation selects and studios series from the factories .if he had a partnership with Hasbro he would of showed the box.
Seems like they took the tail whip/blade thing from Cheetor's Transmetal form. They could of gave him his gun, but I do see the reason why. Either way, definitely a good figure to add to the collection with a few flaws here and there.
Calling it now, Tigertron is gonna be a repaint and retool of this figure. Pretty obvious that's gonna happen, like we all knew with Earthrise Ironhide and Ratchet.
I have the same transformer.. sort of. I have the Cheetos but it’s a repaint, it’s a black and white tiger and when it’s in the robot mode it’s got bits of yellow.
i'm honestly worried about the news of kingdom. this means that waves 2 and 3 of Earthrise's deluxe figures may not come to Australian stores. All i want is Airwave :(
Now here's the question... if they do Tigatron (and they absolutely should), do they do a heavy retool of this guy and have him uncharacteristically small, or do a Voyager with the same engineering?
The lower legs and the chest area behind the cheetah head in robot mode bugs the hell out of me. I wish the cheetah neck faired out a bit to make the chest broader. As is, it make the belly look way too big.
I saw on some site called collecticontoys that this is gonna release in a netflix series deco too which is weird. The site also has some studio series listings that haven’t been announced yet
I was/am on the fence about this guy because of the shoulders in the robot mode (not the kibble, but the actual joint. It just looks... too exposed? It just looks like a joint, not like part of a figure.
I already have the mp for both cheetor and optimus primal I really like the other kingdom figures but am unsure if I should go for Cheetor and Optimus Primal Are they worth it?
