As with Airazor, most characters in the upcoming Rise of the Beasts film will get toys in both the Rise of the Beasts toyline and the Studio Series toyline (for more info on that, click here). Now we have our first look at Studio Series voyager class Cheetor. As you can see below, it borrows nothing from his Kingdom counterpart and is a fully new mold with a design harkening back to Beast Machines. This toy will be up for preorder later today. These images come from Amazon Australia.

DAMN Cheetor looks GOOD! And a Voyager you say? Not bad dawg. So far it's looking like SS for Cheetor and ROTB for Airrazor for me and my collection

Yowch on Generictor, maybe a repaint with that thing...erm...whatcha call it...colors, might help. Though it still has its square head.

Think I'm prefering the non studio series figures looks so far and definitley another tick to not see the film.

his robot head is very autobot symbol-ish. I think he looks good, but the drab mono colors really hurt.

Doesn't really feel like Cheetor. I complain when Bumblebee gets more annoying than he was in G1 but Cheetor is SUPPOSED to be annoying. This character will probably be competent. And he has a very- mature- build. Personally I like the mainline version better, as with Airazor. I don't know why they keep ruining the design if the pre-concepts look fine, I don't know why they have to get a perfect design just to fix ruin it in the actual movie. :michaelbay: :KREMZEEK: :HASBRO: :PLAYSKOOL: :-x :-x :-x :BANG_HEAD:

It's to match the look of the film which went for monochrome drab on the beasts

I'm really not feeling the beast toys, specially the Studio Series ones. The ROTB ones at least seem to have more interesting transformations. What little I've seen in the trailer hasn't really won me over either, honestly. I hope the movie comes out and I get to eat my words and really enjoy the Maximal's look onscreen, but I'm not very optimistic at this point. A shame, Beastformers are usually my favourite type of transformers, but these are just not hitting it for me.

I personally prefer the ROTB versions over the studio series, I really like that Airazor design but the studio series one- :SICK:

That design is certainly a choice for this new Cheetor.

Though, I definitely wouldn't call it Beast Machines-inspired, not in shape or color:

If it's the blend of organic and mechanical that evokes a technorganic look, that kind of visual blending goes all the way back to the Transmetals, both 1 and 2. Or even further back to some of the Pretenders of 1988/1989.

I do love how Cheetor takes some cues from multiple bodies of his. That head has some Transtech in it; the transformation looks to use BM, TMI, and TMII in it, while he sticks somewhat close to his original body cheetah mode.

I just think the blend of so many styles into him to make him feel so fresh and new while looking great are neat.

I have adored the SS figures so far, they have a lot more of that technical detail that I always love and wish we would see more of.

The RotB toyline ones look great too, and I appreciate how both lines are sort of similar but also very different, almost like AOE Dinobots and SS Grimlock style. I appreciate it.

Personally, I'm thinking of getting both lines, all comes down to pricing.

I'd argue that the Pretenders were more like "suited up" monsters or even Cyborgs, with a separation if you will between the angular mechanical and the curvy organic parts. The Transmetals has a clear separation between the two: mechanical Beast Mode, (semi-)organic Robot Mode (except figures like Terrorsaur). The Transmetals II I'll give you, but they also had the monstrous asymmetry as a form of being "unbalanced", and balanced blending was a key point in Beast Machines designs.

Mind you, the original Movie-verse designs already had that organic thing going, though the pieces of their alternate modes largely hide that.

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.

I get Transmetal 2 Cheetor vibes from this figure. I wish he had his gun. But those Spears are kind of cool

That face makes it seem like he will be older in personality. I could see this working better in a white tiger deco and be called Tigatron.

So... Cheetor being #98 fills in one gap. Scourge (Leader Class) will likely be #101

I think being a pessimist is the best way to go into a film like this, we can only be pleasantly surprised or vindicated, and never disappointed. The beasts will be drab, in both modes, as we saw with primal in the trailer at the end. They are meant for a more earthy, older, rustic look. So tan and monochrome is the name of the game here. All four will be a variation of rusty brown in bot mode, kinda like how all the dinobots in AOE all went for a similar look and were not colour coded (unlike the fruit loops coloured toys).

I'm excited on a toy front though as I love beast formers and we will get 2 new toys for each beast character, making it another cool rendition of the characters in my collection. And it will be fun to see the shelves filled with these beast wars characters.
