Well, now I'm just curious enough as to whether all Spark Armors will be interchangeable within their given size class that I'll be buying a few more than just big ol' Op and the Ark.

Each new subsection of Cyberverse somehow manages to get it's hollow, non-articulated foot in the door.

Cheetor's armor head looks like a cross between himself and Depth Charge, I like it! ;)^

I'm also enjoying the dichotomy between the bots and their armor. A cat with battleship armor is about as contrasting as these get.

Repaint of the armor/vehicle is interesting to see early on and gets my hopes up for jet fires tank

I prefer the color of bees warship with it reminding me of a gobot? I had as a kid. Tho cheetor looks good it might pair better with prowl. It's a nice toy gimmick and hope it lasts just so that there is even more bizarre partnering and combinations.

When I think of a logical combat accessory for a cheetah-themed warrior, a battleship is just a natural fit.

I'd rather that than the alternative AKA the OG Cheetor and the Universe one

For just a toy, maybe, but this is still not accurate to the show.

Not really. MP Shockwave, for instance is only above the mass retail toy that came out this year in terms of height and not much else. Plus there have been MP duds, like Roadrage, and the original Megatron.

Naturally, the Maximal is getting a new toy to go with the new show. Thanks to In Demad Toys, we’ve got some images of this new version of Cheetor. Cheetor transforms from a rather nice looking robotic cheetah into a robot stylized after his Beast Wars appearance, and apparently transforms without any faux parts. As part of the Spark Armor lineup, he too comes with his own Battle Armor, his being a retooled version of Bumblebee’s Spark Armor.

We have mirrored the images for your convenience:

What do you think? Will he be worth getting, or will he be a skip for you? Tell us in the discussion below

Whats the pricepoint for this cheetor or other spark armor figures?

But it looks better than a figure of this size more closely looking like the show model would. I am ok with the sacrifice of the front legs position considering it gives us a much better toy potentially

Still its a shame our triggerhappy Cheetor has no robot mode pistol/gun.

Still i wonder what mm ports his fists have. I hope he is compatible with 5mm weapon handles.

Is is anyone else getting a Tidal Wave vibe from that boat with him?

Now step back several feet and glance at it. Just a glance.

You just saw Clocker

Didn't they use Clocker as the base for a SDCC version of Cheetor, pre-beast form.

Yep.

BotCon 2006 exclusive. I think it looks cool, and I love the Clocker mold as well.

Why would the AllSpark's wise, ancient guardian be described as "triggerhappy"?

Don't you remember beast wars Cheetor. He's the one who technically started the war because he disobeyed optimus to stand down and shot Megatron in the face after he fixed his jammed quasar gun? I thought that would mean most versions of Cheetors aren't very responsible with weapons?

This isn't Beast Wars Cheetor. Didn't you see him in the trailer for Cyberverse season 2?

I did but maybe i wasnt expecting much of a change for such a old character who hasnt been used in the cartoons since Beast Machines ended.

Did you know Michael’s sells Transformers? Neither did we. Regardless they are currently advertising new Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Class Seismic Stomping Grimlock, and Optimus Prime on clearance for only $19.97! If the regular price tag of $42.00 was off putting it will be hard to deny a sale this tempting, especially if you note the current banner stating there’s 40% off all regular price items in your online or buy online pick up in store order for orders over $49.00 valid through tomorrow June 4th. We also have new images of the smaller size classed Cyberverse one-step changers such as Shockwave, and Skybyte from bbcw.com as well as new images of the upcoming Spark Armor Chopper Cut Megatron,

My wife visits one now and again, and gets the occasional coupons. Guess it's time to see if they're in-store too. :-D

That spark armor Megs on one hand looks cool because it looks like a vague homage to his G2 Bomber toy, on the other hand the altmode leaves a LOT to be desired.

The listing says online only. Also, nowhere in the listing does it say Ultimate Class Grimlock, it just says ultimate class figures and shows three different options. There's no doubt in my mind that you don't get to choose and you'll probably get Megs, Prime, or maybe Bumblebee.
