Only 5 days left to become a Transformers Collectors' Club member and receive this years Membership Incentive figure, Side Burn!

Here is a FIRST LOOK at the packaging for Cheetor!

Stay tuned as next week, leading up to the March 16th Wednesday
deadline, we will be revealing G2 Ramjet and the box art for that great
figure as well!

I think the past two years of BotCon stuff has been awesome, and this years is especially good. I wish I could afford all of it! :-(

Then take a look at Transtech Cheetor, the figure Amimated Blurr was based on:

Transtech Cheetor on TFWiki

Blurr's successor, without the fast speech.

Glad they are retaining the animated packaging style on the box. I've said it before but this figure looks deliciously gaudy.

Someone at the club is really concerned with drumming this Cheetor=Police connection into our heads.

I know I might be the only one, but this guy looks so...awkward, I love him. The artwork is better, but I can't help it. That bright green looks so...inappropriate. I'm getting one of these trainwrecks! :lol:

I'm thinking of signing up but us Canadians have to pay a tad more for membership. How much are the exclusive figures once they are available?

I do think this looks good. Maybe a possible purchase at Botcon. But as for my Botcon list, its not a priority figure.

Thing is, he's not a BotCon figure! He can only be purchased from the Collector's Club.

But he can still be bought at BotCon, right?

Yes. You will be able to purchase them at the Club Store's booth at Botcon. It was painful watching everyone last year walking by the check-in line with their Punch/Counterpunch's.

I don't recall seeing anyone with them at the convention. I also can't recall whether my club exclusives came right before or after Botcon. I'm thinking before. Usually, if the club exclusives have started shipping then they're available at the club store during the convention. Sometimes they aren't. I never plan to get them there anyway so I never look for them.

Dude, it seemed like EVERY person who came out of that door was loaded down with figures! I missed out on P/CP the first go around, and each and every person around me in line knew someone coming out with a little blue box...awh, so much excitement!

You won't have to worry about Cheetor selling out like P/CP. Despite popular opinion, he's going to be one of my, if not thee, favorite figure of the year.
