The Energon Pub

I'm a sucker for large transformers. I recently purchased an Air Attack Optimus Primal and a Machine Wars Starscream based solely on their sizes. I'm not even a fan of the Beast Era or Machine Wars transformers, but they were on the larger size, so I had to get them.
While doing my research on OP and 'Screamer, I came across Supreme Class Cheetor. I'd seen it before, but never realized how tall it was in bot mode - it seems to come up to Fortress Maximus's chest. Now as a fan of big bots, I'm thinking about purchasing one. It looks pretty simplistic - basically stands up to achieve bot mode. So, I'm wondering, to those who have it, does it's sheer size make up for it's simplistic design? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!!

I don't count him as a Transformer, myself. He doesn't transform, he just stands up! 0 out of 5.

Basically another figure that should NOT have gotten the supreme class treatment.
Bad articulation, lame gimmicks, and the inability to stand without being propped against something all come together to make this a big miss. The cheetah mode looks better and is more stable, but still rates no more than a "meh".
If you spend your money on this, you will be sorely disappointed.
If you want a wicked new LARGE tf, try an Energon Omega Supreme ( or Sentinel ) if you don't already have one. It's huge, electronic, and just all kinds of awesome. One of my favorites.

Do yourself a favor and save the money...

Seriously bro...terrible toy.

I got mine on clearance for $7 and felt I overpaid. He's flimsy, gangly, hard to stand, has virtually no transformation, and annoying sound effects.

His main selling point was: "He's as big as a house cat".

Other than that, he's just not worth it. As was said close to no transformation. But you'd think tat would at least allow him some poseability? Nope.

Hard to get him to stand, and his other gimmicks, interfere with his articulation.

His claw slash action just kills the arm, and his missile firing action is totally worthless.

So unless you really must have him, I'd say save your money for something else.

The biggest piece of crap there is for the money I would buy a broken Armada Unicron that has no head or arms and that would still have more articulation and play value then Cheetor.

Unless you like tall and slim figures if not really no reason..

No, Dead Metal, stop holding back! Tell us how you REALLY feel!

Supreme Cheetor is probably the most hated toy in the history of TF's. G1 Wheelie may be the most hated character, but even HIS toy isn't hated more than Supreme Cheetor.

I never realized it existed, and now I wish I never found out. There are better uses for that much plastic-anything.

The adults hate it.
I bought it on clearance a few years back for like $3 (and it came with a tape of the first couple episodes of Beast Wars, I think) for my son, and he loved it. Big toy, and was easy for a little kid to transform.

Hmmm, so I'm not quite sure if I understand. Are you all saying that you DON'T like it?? Thanks for the info. I kind of figured that it wouldn't be that popular, but the size of it sucked me in. I'll probably hate myself for doing it, but if I can grab one for under $15, I'll probably pick it up anyway. I'm such a sucker for big bots!

Ok, so I found a complete one on eBay for $20 with free shipping, and it arrived today. I got to say... I actually like it. Very simplistic and somewhat awkward looking in bot mode, but pretty cool looking in alt mode, or as my dad said upon seeing it, "That's pretty wicked!" I'm not a big fan of the Beast series, but I've picked up a few toys and this is one of my favorites. Plus, it's bigger than both my dogs and taller than my baby girl and that makes for some pretty funny pics!
