One of the things we have yet to see with Takara Tomy Masterpiece Transformers MP-34 Cheetor / Cheetus is the Hasbro Asia added accessory to the pack. No longer the collector coin, as we know, we now have diecast minifigures of other Transformers characters in the MP line - and Cheetor includes the big bot himself, Optimus Primal! Check it out below, via Autobase Aichi.

I don't have time today to open this guy up, as I'm time limited and chose Grapple to play with instead. Looks very awesome, and I may give in tonight, after all, who needs sleep?

Our own DecepticonFinishline has brought to our attention two videos reviews of MP-34 Cheetor. Baltmatrix and Rob A give us an up close look at this highly detailed figure. Cheetor comes with multiple heads for both robot and beast mode. If you would prefer still images please check out some of our in hand image gallery for this figure in comparison with MP32 Optimus Primal.

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.

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?
Re: Transformers Masterpiece MP-34 Cheetor Hasbro Asia Optimus Primal Minifigure (view post)
Comment by SureShot18 Mar 8, 2017
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:
