The Energon Pub

After 10 years of Hoarding the factory sealed boxed BM Supreme Cheetor toy,I donated it to a Army & Navy Thrift store.

I just gave away the toy to them for free. hopefully a parent with a tight spending budget will get this toy & give it to their kid for christmas.

I don't know why I even bought this toy in the first place over 10 years ago. It just looks awful & over-over Sized in both modes.

Right now I'm happy & satisfied with my Titanium 6 inch BM Cheetor toy. this looks more better sculpted,no gimmicks & a decent more accurate size scale.

I Had another duplicate of this BM Supreme sized Cheetor toy that I opened,transformed & had on display for a while. I gave it away to a younger relative a decade ago.

From my Persepective this toys negatives are as follows: (1) not being able to stand up in display poses in neither robot nor beast mode. (2) the gimmicks ruined this toys poseability. (3) the design/sculpt is both modes is just pure awful. it just feels like the artist/designer was looking at a human skeletan & drew inspiration from that. (4) Till today I never understood why the artist/designer felt the need to put human teeth inside the robot head mouth. not only are they human teeth,their dentist approved perfect human teeth. AT THE VERY LEAST THEY COULD HAVE SCULPTED FANGED TEETH FOR THE ROBOT HEAD. (5) The translucent parts really ruin this toy & make it look just hideous. (6)The toy is EXTREMLY over-over sized. 18 inches tall for cheetor is far too big in size scale compared to how tiny the character was shown in the media. I Love big sized TF toys but I also love sized scaled proper TF toys. I basically want the TF media characters who were shown big to get the bigger sized TF toys like unicron,overlord,tidalwave.

I Don't think I would have minded a voyager sized BM Cheetor toy in the year 2000. because it wouldn't have been that big & would have been somewhat BM Cartoon scale accurate. since BM Cheetor grew & was taller than optimus primal on cybertron in the beastmachines cartoon series. plus BM Cartoon cheetor was the temporary leader & full leader when primal died at the end.

I also think their should be no beastwars nor beastmachine toy bigger than a voyager toy. because in the BW/BM cartoons,the characters were super tiny compared to the generation one transformers.

From my Persepective. supreme sized TF toys should really be reserved for planet formers or city formers.

supreme cheetor seems like a toy for younger kids, certainly not collectors. Hopefully a kid age 5-10 or so will get the one you donated and love it.

I'm fairly certain in this case, donating it to the local rubbish tip would have been the better thing to do instead of passing the suffering onto someone else!

What's going to be sadder: going back after Christmas and it still being there or the thought of the poor kid that got it if it isn't?

Well, it is possible that during the playtime, the kid will break the figure, meaning one less Supreme Cheetor haunting the planet.

I don't even know if it's possible to break that thing, I've never even held one in my hands, but if anyone can break things, its kids

Easy enough to break.

Step 1 - Raise foot.
Step 2 - Stomp.

Ensure you're wearing steel cap boots.

I Think most Supreme sized TF toys are most MISS than hit.

it just seems like for the most part Hasbro/Takara create this Transformers supreme size class for the younger kids under age 4. for the ultimate huge christmas gift.

in case no one's noticed most Supreme sized Transformers toys are made of extremly thick & durable tonka styled plastic. the transformation is beyond simplified. the sculpt+details+colors are aimed at kids under 4 years old.

Out of the 10 Supreme sized TF toys we've received from the year 2000 thru 2011. Their is only 2 that look like they were aimed at older teenage kids & adult fans. which are Supreme sized Unicron & Supreme sized Primus.

It's beyond plainly obvious. ROTF Supreme sized Devestator was made like that to cater to the younger kids under age 4. Hasbro most likely felt if each constructicon had a individual robot mode. then it would be much harder for younder kids to figure out 6 individual robot transformations. So the idea was to cancel out the 6 individual robot modes. make the toy as easy as possible to play with & merge to form devestator.

ROTF Devastator was certainly simplified. I think there was good amount of pressure to move a hundred dollar toy. Making it appeal to various ages was important. They went younger rather than older. Surprisingly, I don't recall seeing ROTF Devastator warm shelves, after christmas, he was gone. So, it seemed to work.

I happen to like Cheetor Supreme...

Always said there was something not right about you.

Back to Cheetor ... for years I thought he was pathetic. The other weekend I finally got around to busting out ROTF Devestator.

Jeez ... I have NOTHING nice to say about this thing. Barely stays together, attempt to pose him and he falls apart ... breathe on him and he's liable to fall over.

At least with Cheetor you could put him on all four legs and he wouldn't fall over unless you tripped over him.

Let's not forget about Supreme Class Cybertron Starscream. I loved that one. He even had his crown.
