Not my cup of tea, but I never was much of a Beast Wars fan. But now all those who have dreamed of owning a yellow & black spotted Blurr (or Transtech toys) can rejoice.

Half-right.
Side Burn is the freebie. Ramjet and Cheetor will be available as the TFCC's 2011 store exclusives.

Considering the fact that they're referring to it as Animated Transtech Cheetor and it's a repaint of Animated Blurr, I would say it's Animated Transtech Cheetor.

No, Ramjet is not the free membership figure. The free membership figure is Side Burn. Ramjet will be available for purchase along with Cheetor.

He looks Animated, he's an autobot not a Maximal, and he's apparently part of the Elite Guard. So everything points to Yes.

This may be the first time you've actually gone after a toy I don't even own yet.

Imaginative to say the least. I never liked the style Beast Machines went with, so Transtech (and this) are for me best left alone.
I do still want Blurr though...

But the TransTechs are Autobots and Decepticons, not Maximals and Predacons.Overcracker wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:So let me get this straight: Transtech Cheetor is, despite the Transtech name, part of the Animated continuity?

But I guess, since they used the normal Autobot logo instead of the TransTech Autobot logo, he's from Malgus instead of Nexus anyway.
