In fairness, Cheetor does seem like the sort of guy to buy shurikens online because he thinks they're ultra gear.

I like to think of the back kibble as a backpack of sorts and the weapons don't bother me due to him having so many different weapons between incarnations. Also on a side note, confuzzled is the name of a furry convention which makes the choice of using it over its synonyms very interesting.

1. I guess that face is akin to Transmetal or Transmetal 2 Cheetor... 2. I guess the head sculpt was meant for Tigatron...but when they realized how badly the Cheetor mold turned out, they decided to scrap it. But it ain't the first or only time a Classics-era figure was kibbletastic (Classics Voyager Optimus, Classics Hot Rod, Classics Voyager Megatron, Classics Bumblebee, Universe V2 Octane, etc.).
@kinoepigrafe7 жыл бұрын
I don't hate him nearly as much as everyone else, actually. The excessive arm and rear kibble is somewhat annoying but the overall robot aesthetic is passable with some poseability and I can totally have fun with posing the beast mode. Certainly not the best from Universe 2.0 but also nowhere near Plastic Addict level too imho.

Also, the paintjob is pretty good. This wouldn't have been all that remarkable of a thing back in 2009 but hey, modern CHUG teaches us not to take a good paintjob for granted.

Or better yet, get rid of the gimmick. It's too minor a feature for the sacrifices required, and it doesn't even feel in character for him.

I feel like we just went from one extreme to another. The original toy had a crappy beast mode, but the robot mode was at least serviceable with the right weapon. This toy has an amazing beast mode, but the robot mode suffers for it and gets the wrong weapon. Here's hoping the Master Piece version finally strikes the right balance.

Honestly, I know you say this is bad, and you've pointed everything out, but I don't see it. Weapons are inaccurate? That's linewide. Optimus didn't have a windvein gun, nor a smokestack rifle. It was just a cool weapon. This is a neat redesign with interesting callbacks and the backpack is the biggest issue I have with it, but even then, it's hardly one at all. Solid figure to me

On the one hand, it was him and Universe 2 Dinobot that got me into collecting. They were the first transformers I had ever bought for myself (I'm a BW guy who never gravitated towards the Armada trilogy) and I still remember the excitement I felt for them. On the other hand, I hardly ever touch this guy because he's simply awful. I can't get mad at him because of what he represents, but there's too much missed potential and shoddy design to make me like him.

Not to defend questionable design, but to answer your question of when Cheetor was a ninja, watch some Beast Machines. No really; it isn't overt like it is with BM Silverbolt, but I've got a speedy, stealthy, swordsman constantly doing things with swords that basically require magic, and just to fit an animé trope, seems to have intentionally selected colors to mitigate what should be a somewhat camouflaged appearance. Actually, go watch Beast Machines and then stop *right* before they add Botanica. I once was in a long, message board discussion/debate with a friend over the series and I actually like Beast Machines a *lot* better now after getting it only to prove to my friend how bad it actually was. XD
@Undrave7 жыл бұрын
Why didn't they just put the level at the back of the head?! It didn't need to go all the way to the back. That could have freed some bulk for the arms and keep the cheetah legs as backpack. No one minds that kind of kibble if its accurate.
@AwesomeMooseSmile6 жыл бұрын
Due to the weaponry, proportions, and the fact that the Japanese version has gold on his head, I think that this was supposed to be a combination of the beast wars and beast machines figures.

Let me put it to you this way. If I have to spend half a review praising the beast mode, one of the best articulated beast modes we had to that point, would it really feel like Plastic Addict? I can't judge it simply on one mode, both modes need to give me material to work with.
