Still haven't started Altered Carbon. It's on the list though.

W-w-w-what up D!!!
I got that at the very Chicago State St. Toy R Us I was just reminiscing about in the TRU memories article. And he was even one of those GLORIOUS SALES, I referred to. I picked him up on clearance in maybe '97 or 8, on my way home from college. I'm sure I looked absolutely ridiculous riding home on the train with a backpack, a bass guitar, and this giant robot in a box. He's 2 feet tall!
There were/are a lot of Iron Giant toys out there. Google it up. Might even see a resurgence after Ready Player One.
P.S. Densh! If you're reading. I really enjoyed your story AND PHOTO! in the TRU convo.
AH HA! Beast hunt!

Wow. Tuff call. I love 1st run BW Cheetor, but TM1 is a better toy. He carries over what the 1st did good, but tightens it up and improves upon it. TM2 is low on my list of favorites. The pile of knives style he and Dinobot were rescanned in doesn't always do it for me, but out of those two, Cheetor is cooler
(sorry jak). Both modes are so over the top it falls on the "so ridiculous it rocks" side of the fence.
My 2 cents. Tm1 is a better, easier, more fun toy to play with. TM2 looks wild as hell and is as primordial teeth gnashing beastial you are gonna find in the entire era.
Take from that what you will.

BW is a Basic Class. TM is a Deluxe. BW has a fun and simple spring loaded transformation. TM has a more involved beast era ball jointed t-formation, and has a weird cool 3rd mode. I like them both. I only had TM forever until they did those Walmart Exc. TLK two packs. Poor mold has definitely seen better days. It feels like a dirty dime store KO. I can still appreciate what he is though 'cause I know where he came from.
They're both neat D. Maybe which ever you find first for what you wanna spend.
As for the goings on in the 'Tron
A buddy hipped me to a comic shop I hadn't been to yet called Krypton. So we rolled out to peep their wares. They had more toys than comics. Star wars to the end of a far far away galaxy! Lots of Marvel and DC stuff. They had a few TFs but I was told the majority were out for a toy show in Ohio. Thay had a really nice G2 Prime for fitty bux! The main take away though was I just found a great place to dump a bunch of old comic toys and GI Joe that I have been needing to clear out of here for years!
In the spirit of the shop's St. Patty's Day 20% off if you're wearing green sale, I did nab this little sweet shiny ingot of die cast super alloy for my desk at work. Bandai Absolute Chogokin Gundam Guncannon.
I also bought the key to a super nerdy dork-out organizational collector geek rabbit hole.
For some unknown reason I felt compelled to snag this metal binder from work when it was on it's way to the dumpster before moving day.
It's purpose became clear, and the sticker was placed.
I bought a pile of collector card sheets to sleeve up all these cards that we've been getting lately.
And after digging through my entire instructions, catalogs, and card backs file cabinet, I realize I'm gonna have to go back to Krypton for more sheets!
I like this rabbit hole though because I can see the end!
that's certainly a unique design though!
This is going to haunt me tonight, I know it. On the plus side I didn't realise that bandai made so many things I wanted, some that I didn't know I wanted till I came across then. Any more details you can remember from that toy will be great cobo, like if there's a date next to the copyright info.
