Judging from factors such as the robot chest's ears not having earholes like the beast head's ears do, and the slightly more inflated nature of the chest-head, my best guess would be that the robot mode beast head covers the actual beast mode head. (That, and if Takara was embracing part swapping for BW masterpieces, we probably would have seen clip on bits to cover Primal's visible robo-kibble in beast mode.)

Yeah, I am pretty sure there is no parts swapping and that the robot mode beast head is incorporated in the toy. because we saw all the accessories and a fake cheetah head wasnt one of them, so thus it must be integrated.

Speaking of fake beast heads for chests, I really feel that is the only way to do dinobot properly, what do you guys think? Man, i just want an MP Dinobot so bad.

I feel it'd be the best way to do a lot of them, Rattrap and Waspinator included. When the beast mode heads formed the chest, in the cartoon they tended to look a lot more flattened down than could possibly be replicated in plastic form. If the Beast Wars MP line continues, I'd personally expect to see a lot of faux beast mode chests.

A faux chest is fine with me, as long as it is integrated into the toy.

I think it might be easier to name which characters would be able to use the actual beast head instead of a fake one robot mode.

Besides Primal, of course.

Well, I'm pretty sure they won't be able to do a fake with Megatron...

Megatron, Terrorsaur, Scorponok, maybe Rhinox.
Dunno about Tarantulas.

So basically one definite yes, two maybes and two guys which are probably the last ones people want from an MP Beast Wars line.

Why would we be talking about Super Ginrai in the Masterpiece Cheetor thread?

There is not much talk here because this is thread for Cheetor.
However, we have not seen those photos you speak of so if you have them, please send them to us by clicking on the link in my signature so we can news them.

Can't compete with getting these scans before the guys in Asia do, but here are some higher resolution scans for those interested:

From @chromless, painted Cheetor at Wonder Festival 2016 Summer. Probably some better images out there, this is just the link they were using on the Twincast Podcast.

Looks like fans of lightpiped eyes in Masterpiece are getting their wish. I hate that, but the figure otherwise looks fantastic!

Dear Seibertronians, you may need to lower your brightness settings for what you are about to see, because it is glorious. We now have color images of Takara Masterpeice Cheetor, thanks to seibertronians steals_your_goats and MaverickPrime. Shown at the Wonderfest 2016 convention, this is the first time we've seen a full-color mock-up of MP Cheetor's robot mode. His beast mode was also on display, but it was unfortunately still in it's grey-scale prototype phase. Check out the photos below, credited to @52toys and @Chohenken!

There are no "photos below" in the news post at the front page. There is only a thumbnail (which takes me to a forum page, showing no pictures on that page) and one comment regarding the news on the main page

Please fix.

Until the article is fixed just scroll up in the forum to see the pics I posted.

At first I was like why does he have so much gold? Then I remembered the cartoon model. I think he looks amazing. I can't wait to see pictures of his beast mode whenever those come out. Takara I'll take all of the Beast Wars Masterpieces you want to make. :-D

That looks amazing! I hope they keep producing more from the Beast Wars series.

I wasn't a huge fan of BW, but that robot mode looks really really nice.
Is there a chance a MP BW Megatron may not happen because that character was so big??

But back to Cheetus, yeah, if you're a fan, looks like this isn't to be missed.
I will say the waist/crotch looks a little off somehow.
No joke intended, but it looks a little flat, and the whole section looks a bit big.
But I could be wrong.

Star Saber was Combiner-sized and they were able to do him. They could make Megs a little shorter than Ultra Magnus if they wished.

Obv the could make him smaller. I just wonder if they would want to.
While I'm sure MP doesn't completely stick to a standard scale, if Megatron was only a bit bigger than Primal, I think that could be very underwhelming.
Especially for a MP.
