...okay, I've missed a bit. Let's see here...
Cheetor, Blackarachnia, and Warpath all look great, first off, I'm buying all of them. Ark would be cool, but I have yet to buy a Titan figure and I don't intend to start now.
In terms of a battle-damaged Netflix Cheetor, there is an advantage here over the repaints of the G1 guys in that there were episodes of BW where they actually had battle damage. If they do anything resembling the systems damage from Dark Voyage, that would I think be best case scenario.

Nothing on Tarantulas in the leak of the entire mainline, so he'll have to be an exclusive of some sort.

I'm guessing the leaker saw his butt flap pop off and just assumed it turned into a shield
Having gone and fact-checked the shield leaks:
Leaker 1 (OG Kingdom leaker): Shield exists, those unhappy about Cliffjumper won't like it
Leaker 2 (Credible from Siege/ER): Shield exists, more akin to Trailbreaker's in that it isn't a giant piece of his altmode, around buckler size, pegs into underside of tank to help hold it together, TonTon is missing the piece entirely or is going to make an entire second video about it because he missed it in this one like the Blackarachnia mask.

So ypu would thibk they would have took the horrible waste of a chatacter slot of Earthrise Voyager Megatron and made him Warpath, right? That was my very first thought when I heard about this Megatron 6 months ago. It was an obvious no brainer they would reutilize the mold and actually give us what we want...A nice large sized g1 accurate non "H" tank, but one that has full treads. Hasbro, why on God's earth would you spend and waste money on a new smaller mold when all you had to do was add a new head and some red paint on Eathrise Megs and call it a day. I would have so wanted that. But now that you instead made this smaller mold, what are you going to do with it? How are you going to adhear to your cheap policies and reutilize this mold into more characters? The only one I can think of is Blitzwibg, but I wouldn't even buy that one because it would be too small. You should have just used Earthrise Voyager Megatron as a mold for Warpath and retool it for Blitzwing. Such a wasted opportunity and a waste of money developing a smaller mold for Warpath that cannot be reutilized for any other mainstream G1 character.
Honestly I think you could get more mileage out of this Warpath than Megatron. You can squeeze out obscure dudes like Gutcruncher (who I’m really hoping for) and Gobots Treds and maybe other characters. Megatron is so unique to himself that it’s hard to do anyone else other than different versions of himself, it was the biggest reason why I didn’t buy
Combiner Wars Warpath. The recently revealed Selects G2 version is pretty good, and I could see them doing the purpley G2 Hero version as well, and if they’re feeling really saucey maybe even do a
Robots in Disguise Bludgeon
There's also the leaked Slammer, which is currently theorized to be a retool of this Warpath, and a Voyager Warpath would have been too big anyway (unless this was a figure of WfC/FoC Warpath out of nowhere).
