No reason to reinvent the wheel when some of the work is done for you.
At least this one gets the gun and ax.
That might explain why it comes with the gun that Kingdom Tigatron had but Kingdom Cheetor didn't.william-james88 wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Sabrblade wrote:So, just like Airazor's Studio Series figure, it heavily borrows from the engineering of the Kingdom figure.

Which makes me wonder if we are looking at ss voyager
Cheetor rather than the mainline deluxe

Size and inacuracy to what we've seen in the trailer (along with bright colours) hints at the deluxe, but the extra gun accessory and reuse of a kingdom mold like what happened with Studio Series Airazor could place it in the Studio Series. Let us know what you think and enjoy the new pics!

Considering the differences in the beast legs on the bot shins (Kingdom's just sit on top of the shin, the RotB's actually tuck inside from the back) I'm inclined not to lump this as a Kingdom re-use/variant.

I agree. One must be totally blind to see this as a Kingdom retool. There is absolutely ZERO reused parts anywhere, unlike SS Airaizor who is a clear and simple repaint of the Kingdom.
It still remain unclear if that Cheetor is the SS "voyager" though.

It's the exact same class as ROTB deluxe Airazor. But FYI, all these toys are made for kids, Studio Series too.
