I know it can never actually happen, but...repaint as Battle Cat from MotU PLEASE.

*Hums the Beast Wars theme* Cool, another Cheetor, but this one may be a little...down-market for my collection. Though it is nice to see Cyberverse widen the quality gap between itself and the Autentics line.

That Cheetor is absolutely gorgeous and it looks like way more fun than the Kingdom version. I'll be sure to get it when I'll see it in store. :APPLAUSE:

He was the main character and Guardian of the Allspark back in Season 2.

It does look more fun than the Kingdom version. I am actually working on a top 5 cheetor list (will wait for this guy to come out first though) and I am actually finding out that there are a lot better cheetors out there than the kingdom one. I am actually wondering right now which is better, Kingdom Cheetor or the OG 96 one. Not sure.

Cheetor looks pretty good, and I like the subtle Thundertron/Alpha Trizer homage with the placement of the claws on his shoulders, but I don't like that green sabertooth tiger helmet, it looks a bit doofy.

I've bought Deluxe Bumblebee and Hot Rod from Ebay, they'll be arriving next month, and they'll be my first Cyberverse toys. For those who own these two, what am I in for?

EEEESH, you're gonna see the two ends of the spectrum. Bumblebee is, with no exageration, one of the best Deluxe Bee figures we have ever gotten.

Hot Rod is utter trash though. Someone **** up with that figure, the poseability is really neutered due to lots of stuff getting in the way. It's the worst deluxe in that line.

Very nice. And a lot more screen-accurate than the last Cheetor figure the toyline gave us.

Thanks to an Amazon sale, I finally have Iaconus and Meteorfire.

Both bots are glorious and powerful robots, with a very retro look. I love it!

As for the vehicle, Meteorfire is very 1980's in his design and it's awesome! As for Iaconus, he turn into... a submisive bot? A something? He turn into a WHY-NOT! :lol:

Iaconus is supposed to be a Fort Max or Grandus Style stsrship, where being in space requires no aerodynamics, but the hand thrusters and the side ailerons are about the ony indication of which way is forward. They should have at least allowed thr legs to fold all the way over and maybe done some kind of molding on the calf to help it

I saw meteorfire on sale but still said no. Didn't see isconus though, how much was he?

20$can at Amazon for a short while. Now it's back to the usual 40$can. For 20$can, I couldn't say no for this silly thing. At that price I have my money's worth for some mindless fun, but I wouldn't have paid a single dollar more.

Meteorfire is damn awesome by the way. 20$can would have been the ideal price, but 22$can is better than nothing. I always kinda wanted it so my instincts said it was now or never.

I've thought of Iaconus' alt mode as being backwards. It doesn't make sense for the rockets to be in the front, I look at the blue knees and think of them as windows.

Now Cheetor, that's one I'm getting for sure. I love those almost Beast Machines armor parts I passed on the previous Cheetor because I didn't like the armor, but I have been watching prices on eBay so hopefully when this one comes out the prices will drop there. I want both of them for my growing Cheetor collection, I just don't care about the battleship.

To me the armored head shares a lot more with the Titanium figure thanks to all that green on top and sides of the head.

Man I love that little hotrod. He’s one of my go to bots to idly transform. Sure he isn’t anywhere close to the best version of the character but when it comes to transforming and vrooming around (in a totally grownup fashion) he’s a winner in my book.

I'll have to keep an eye open in case I ever see it in store. :-?

Deluxe Class Cheetor actually looks tempting but... I'd feel "obligated" to get Thunderhowl too if I did get him, don't know why. :-?

If you go for a Thunderhowl, got for the Ultra. Way superior to the deluxe, IMO.
