Cheetor - trouble with transformation

Postby Cheetron » Thu Jan 15, 2009 1:54 pm

I'm having some trouble getting old cheetah butt back to beast mode. The trouble spot has to do with getting his arms back into a locked or somewhat tight position for beast mode. I tried following the instructions but they don't really show what I had to do in the first place to get his front legs out and into position.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would check youtube for a video review showing the transformation from bot to beast.

Sorry, I've got dial-up and it takes forever for any video to load. I forgot to mention that before. Sorry.

I found one on there and it took about 20 minutes for 3 seconds to load. Too long.

It's tricky. You have to open that "hatch" on his back first. Then you have to sort of fold his bot-shoulders into that space in his back, so it's like the bot's shoulders and upper arms end up INSIDE the cheetah's body, with just the lower (cheetah) part of the arm extending out. Does that make sense?

Sort of but I get the feeling I have to be looking at my figure to understand better. Thanks, I'm going to try it later and see if I can do it.

I got dial-up and youtube loads fairly quick for me. Your phone company might be digitally spliting the lines on you ( think of those party lines from the 50's ), they do this to steal dial-up customs away from small ISP's. I even had a few technitions from AT&T admit this to me.

Best way to transform Cheetor? Assuming you mean the Universe, version of course...

Well, it's very similar to the best way to transform Backstop.

Step one: Return Cheetor to a "neutral position". Stand him up on a large metal plate.

Step two: Ignite blowtorch.

Step three: Laugh maniacally as you "transform" it into a scorched puddle of molten plastic, with a few screws and pins floating around.

Step four: Go back to the store and buy Hound or Cyclonus, instead. :D

I'm watchin you.... :TRANSBOT:


As for the question, on both Uni. Cheetor and BW Cheetor you kinda just have to flow with the robot arm parts, I know you have no idea what i'm talking about sorry lol its hard to explain. You have to push the arms inward while at the same time rotating them at the shoulder outwards. This is for BW Cheetor though, GuyIncognito explained Uni. as well as I could ( It was Uni. right? lol.), hope we could help.

Edit: P.S. Love the user name lol.
