So Cheetor is pretty freaking awesome. Quality is on par with the bigger 3rd party companies, not the cheap laziness I've come to half expect from Takara. They really did an excellent job.

Just a little warning to be careful with him.

I've changed him a couple times now, I'm calling serious ham fisting here.

This was probably metioned but I just realized that the eye are NOT articulated. Instead, you have different pair of eyes to combine wit the different head expressions

Oogly eyes and face masks suited for animatronics. Yep, I'm scarred for life now.

So has anyone figured out how the beast mode's mid-back (where the robot elbows are) locks together, or is it not locking just A Thing for this figure?

As far as I can tell it doesn't lock. There's a little bit of wiggle at the joint used for transformation.

It doesnt lock. But I think thats wanted since it adds poseability in beast mode. Plus the standard pose has gravity bring it down so that it doesnt need locking.

Having played around with him for a while, turning him back into Cheetah mode is really awkward and fiddly.

I still can't get it to look right.

Robot mode is fantastic though. Seems he was meant to have extra hands at some point. His hands just pop off too easily otherwise.

A pic with his original self:

Oh man, if only the background environment looked like it was made entirely out of clay.

Unproduced accessories for MP Cheetus found!

They're clip on versions of the long-range comm link that Rhinox made in Episode 3, "The Web". The smaller one is for Cheetor's robot mode arm, and the fatter one is for Cheetor's Beast Mode foreleg.

Shots of a Masterpiece Cheetor prototype have emerged online showing an accessory that was absent from his release. In the shots below, you will see a comm link that was originally made for the toy. It calls back to the long-range comm link that Rhinox made in Episode 3, "The Web". The smaller one is for Cheetor's robot mode arm, and the fatter one is for Cheetor's Beast Mode foreleg. Thanks to Sabrblade for informing us of these images that were posted by STFU and Primal Sabbath on TFW2005.

new thats what that slot in his arm was for. optimus has a similar slot in his forearm, which im sure is for the scanner he had when megatron asked for a truce near the end of season 1. probably cancelled for similar reasons.
