Though, I definitely wouldn't call it Beast Machines-inspired, not in shape or color:
Maybe not colour, but transformation, yes. Of all the cheetor toys of old, this new one follows the beast machines one more than the others where the the cheetah stands up and replaces its head. And I see similarities in the shape for sure, with the shoulders and the parts where the cheetah spots are placed on the robot mode. even in alt ode I see the similarity, with the sleek cheetah type body retaining an organic colour scheme but with techonological components too. Cheetor's Transmetal designs were far removed from the organic cheetah design, either being fully robotic or becoming less cheetah like. When it comes to toys, Beast machines was the only time where we finally saw him with cheetah spots in alt mode along with mechanical components.
