Vicegripx on Instagram posted several images of a Rise of the Beasts Cheetor toy. This is the deluxe class toy that will come out in the mainline and now the Studio Series toy. Interesting to see that he has a gun stored in his gut, which will make fans happy. While not a retool of the Kingdom Cheetor toy, some fans find them to share design cues with one another. Let us know what you think and enjoy the new pics!

Size and inacuracy to what we've seen in the trailer (along with bright colours) hints at the deluxe, but the extra gun accessory and reuse of a kingdom mold like what happened with Studio Series Airazor could place it in the Studio Series. Let us know what you think and enjoy the new pics!

The Gut Gun has storage as well. It still befuddles the mind they couldn't have come up with something to work with Kingdom Cheetor. I still think its fantastic

It might share some transformation cues with the kingdom mold, but there are only so many ways to have feline altmode transform into a botmode within a define transformation scheme.
Considering the differences in the beast legs on the bot shins (Kingdom's just sit on top of the shin, the RotB's actually tuck inside from the back) I'm inclined not to lump this as a Kingdom re-use/variant.

I agree. One must be totally blind to see this as a Kingdom retool. There is absolutely ZERO reused parts anywhere, unlike SS Airaizor who is a clear and simple repaint of the Kingdom.

It still remain unclear if that Cheetor is the SS "voyager" though.

It's the deluxe, we know that now. Looking at him in the trailer, he doesn't have the cheetah legs in his back so the SS will probably look more like his beast machines self than his original beast wars self, which this one emulates.
And good thing I didn't call it a retool since it isn't that. One thing about Airazor though, her SS toy shares no parts with the Kingdom figure either.

While this does not have the same appeal as the kids version of ROTB Airazor, I like this. Hope it is not just the kids toy like Airazor was, I still love her head sculpt.

It's the exact same class as rotb deluxe airazor. But FYI, all these toys are made for kids, Studio Series too.

My point was that the studio series deluxe Airazor looks bad, but I really digged the look of the other one, so I hope it is not the same here.

I am digging the Robot mode on this figure, the cheetah on the other hand…

Why is the cat wearing pants? On that note, I kinda wish that the toy had more of a single color pallet, like either go full on the yellow with some copper paint for robot mode or vice-versa.

Side note, I appreciate how the cheetah legs go forward, back, then forward again, looks much better than the kingdom’s that goes back, forward, then forward again.

It's what we like to call "shared engineering". Same transformation but no parts in common.

If you sound like Rice Krispies when getting out of bed, consult your doctor or other medical authority right away.

Or get a new mattress.

I do miss not sounding like Rice Krispies getting out of bed.

But to be fair to the movie figures, the RotB toyline with these specific figures in it were supposed to be released last year, with the SS figures this year. There was supposed to be a year's difference, not side-by-side releases.

Wheeljack is by far the most talked about design of the film. Not only because of how different it is to the G1 design but how different it is to the one we saw in the Bumblebee film, which shows more disregard to continuity (for those still clinging onto that within the live action Transformers films). Well we have more images of it below coming from both Reddit and kentan99 and we can see that the giant glasses can be removed. They are clear plastic though, so they did break in half in one instance, as we see in the images (may have been intentional, rather than accidental, we do not know yet). We also have a shot from PrimevsPrime showing what it may look like with the suspenders part properly transformed. As of now, no one has the instructions, so the accurate look/transformation is not 100% certain.

Let us know if this sways you into probably picking it up if you see him.

I LOVE every single aspects of that Wheeljack. And if people just can't accept him as "Wheeljack" just call him "Larry" or "Bob." No matter the name, it doesn't change the fact that the bot is a brilliant design with a very groovy vehicle mode.

I think it's a neat figure as well. The only two things that bother me are

1) The duck mouth. He doesn't need to have the G1 grill/mask. I get it; they want to use mouths to emote. But that particular design is off-putting to me.
2) I wish they had made the highlight color green instead of tan, as a reference to the G1 Wheeljack. A vintage army-ish green would look great on a camper van.

I don't see these as glasses now. The way they are designed, they are more like safety goggles and are similar to the kinds that scientists wear in the laboratory. That kind of adds to that "mad scientist" vibe. I'm curious to see the SS version compared to this one.

We should probably wait until we see how he looks in the movie, I doubt the toy could do proper removable glasses without them being big and chunky on a non-SS figure. That's assuming they were meant to be removed in the first place.

Still sucks ass, still a joke design that doesn't fit in a pg-13 movie about preventing the chaos bringer. Not that difficult to think of a design that fits the narrative. They're not goggles either, they're big dumb Beetlejuice glasses.

And I just finished watching the ep of 'Scooby Doo and Guess Who?' where they met Urkel-bot, so I'll never be able to dissociate him from this version of Wheeljack.

Vicegripx on Instagram posted several more images of upcoming toys for Rise of the Beasts. They include Mainline Wheeljack and Cheetor along with Studio Series Airazor and Battletrap, showing you how they all scale with eachother. He also showed that it is possible to put the Bumblebee Wheeljack's head on the new Wheeljack, just as a fun mod. Here is what he says about that:

Look! I did a thing!
It’s a loose fit, so you’ll want to cram something else in there to get BBM Wheeljack’s head to stay on RotB Wheeljack’s body. You’ll also need to turn the head sideways to transform him.

Or, with no expectation that a live-action TF movie ever respect a G1 gimmick, that this figure's arms-to-legs body proportion's all worng? Arms too short, legs too long?

The proportions are a bit wonky, though it may be completely accurate to the cgi model, but we'll have to wait and see on that one (or the original design was like that and the character could have been altered slightly in the one year delay)

Also, I've spotted a smilely face in battletrap's chest and now I can't unsee it

It's his arms! He can't even scratch his own codpiece because his arms are too short. On the average person, the arms come down to about mid thigh. His are at his enemy scrotum. Next to figures with normal length arms like Cheetor, it looks goofy and odd.

They completely ruined my favorite Autobot.
They completely ruined my favorite combiner team. (Terrorcons)
And they ruined my favorite Insecticon team, the 4 deluxe Insecticons. I gave up on ever getting the full team/set unless I go back & buy the crappy G1 toys.

There is really no need for me to continue collecting this franchise. I will pick up BB movie Skywarp & titan Nemesis and finish up my leader Dinobots but that's about it. I might also try to get the full set of BB movie Autobots but I'm really not motivated anymore. I lost interest with Kingdom & they're not doing a damned thing to get me interested again. Everything just keeps getting worse & worse. Maybe that new video game will be good?

Also, I've spotted a smilely face in battletrap's chest and now I can't unsee it

I hate when that happens to me, it really screws up my vision and focus on a toy.

It's not two vehicles in one?

No...there's something about the length of the torso in relation to the legs and the legs themselves.

That'll do it. It's just off enough that you can't NOT see it.
