English Video Review of Kingdom Cheetor

That's not bad, the rear cheetah legs look better than the early leak and the details look good. I like it.

They all seem to have, to my American ears, an English accent. Are they expats living in Hong Kong or China or wherever the factories are?

Typically when person learns a language they pick up the accent of their teacher. A lot of places in Asia like Hong Kong and India were under British rule or influence at some point so they tend to have slightly more British accents than places that might have had a strong American presence like Vietnam (where Hasbro's factories are). But I think the factory workers simply know who to reach out to to buy their stuff without having to resort to eBay which leaves a trail. The reviewers can basically be anywhere in the world.

I was hoping for at least a gun or something. Whip tail is meh in my opinion. At least his shoulders are better than rat traps. I'm considering cheetor. Ol 'trap is a pass. Unless I find him on clearance just for his gun!

I think Cheetor's looking good. Actually not as bad as I feared. Only issue I have is now I'll have to decide which mode to display the Beast Wars figures in.

Not exactly a good idea for the Beast Wars guys who haven't had updates in years.

Still, I suppose it could be worse.
Speaking of which, I like your profile picture.

He's not simple, he just integrated his alt mode into his bot mode - he hasn't got an entire car taped to his back, like you're used to

I'm really surprised by the reaction here, I think this looks incredible. I don't want to become a Beast Wars completitionist, but everything I've seen so far shows they're really trying to do a proper Generations line that splits the difference between show and toy designs. I'm impressed that the cheetah head is appropriately positioned in both modes and they didn't go with a faux chest or flat head like in Cyberverse. Sometimes I just don't get what else people want.

It's WAY better than Universe Cheetor. I think it's pretty good all things considered.

I dunno if I'll get the Beast Wars guys. I might. At least this one looks good.

I like him. Beast mode looks great, robot mode just as good, definite improvement over what we got a few years ago.

I'll be getting him. He looks good. Season One Beast Wars is going back on my shelf, it seems.

cheetor here is a vast improvement from his previous generations version, but he is far from perfect. it seems that cheetor really cant catch a break, as his figures including his masterpiece version have all kinds of issues. (looking at mine with his disintegrating joints and hole-y beast mode) still for a main line figure its not bad, though I feel like he needed maybe just a smattering of gold paint. the yellow here washes out the details. One thing I find neat though, is that his tail weapon isnt the only thing taken from his transmetal version. his face sculpt really (imho) looks more like his transmetal on screen face then his v1 face. the thing I do love about this guy though is the thing I loved about rattrap, which is the attempt to make the beast mode as accurate to a real cheetah as possible. dig that one.
