Transformers Vintage Beast Wars Cheetor Action Figure

Product Information

Primal, Megatron and Scorponok all (at least partially, in Primal's case) share their names with G1 characters, so I guess those prefixes are there to differentiate them. "Cheetor", "Rattrap" and "Tigatron" are all BW-original names.

A tiny statuette of Metals Cheetor on a rectangular stand was available with candy, alongside other Metals characters. [4] Released by Monogram, this 2.5" 3D foam bag clip takes the form of a chibi Rise of the Beasts Cheetor in cheetah mode. Cheetor was one of the 24 beast warriors to receive a battle card representation for the Beast Wars card game. The robot- and beast-mode legs were re-used for the Hasbro PulseCon-exclusive War for Cybertron Trilogy " Covert Agent Ravage". The original mold was also used to make Legacy Nightprowler.Known designers: John Warden and Mark Maher (Hasbro), Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy), Dennis Chan (sculptor), Ken Christiansen (concept artist) This figure is the first transforming toy commemorating the Beast Machines story, designs, and faction symbols. According to Titanium Series concept designer Don Figueroa, making Titanium Cheetor use the BM body was his idea. It seems he was told simply to make "Cheetor", but his Hasbro supervisors never specified which Cheetor to make. Aaron Archer corroborated this, saying Hasbro had not meant to produce a Beast Machines figure: they had simply put Cheetor's name on a list, and the toy ended up being, as Archer put it, "the wrong one". After the quantum surge, Cheetor acquired a Transmetal form that gave his robot mode the organic attributes that his beast mode once possessed. The upgrade gave Cheetor more power and agility than ever before, and this new body had flip-out cyber-thrust wings that gave him additional speed and limited flight. Transmetals Cheetor bio Due to the temporal machinations of Ravage in Primax 785.06 Alpha, a quantum duplicate of the Autobot shuttle carrying the victorious Maximals home from the end of the Beast Wars in Primax 496.22 Alpha was spawned. The shuttle was shunted to Primax 903.0 Beta, where Unicron destroyed it, scattering its crew into transwarp space. Outlier Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/30 TransTech The youthful 'bot who would become "Cheetor" was part of the Maximal exploration ship Axalon; Beast Wars (Part 1) unbeknownst to most members of the crew, its captain Optimus Primal had been secretly tasked with abandoning the murderous Protoform X far from Cybertronian space. Bad Spark However, the Axalon would be diverted off-course to pursue Megatron and a group of rogue Predacons, who'd stolen a golden disk and fled Cybertron aboard a transwarp-capable starship.

This toy, like most of the Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, is a Walmart exclusive in the U.S. and Canada. Like the rest of its Deluxe Class wave, Cheetor was found in Walmart stores on March 13 [7] before an official unveiling. Part of the first assortment of Beast Machines Megas, Cheetor transforms into a super-lean technorganic cheetah. In keeping with the early Beast Machines design trend of "articulated features", turning the beast mode head causes its jaw to open and close. His left foreleg has a gear-spring horizontal "swiping" action activated by pushing a section of the above shoulder-armor towards his body. Eyes of a stalker hunting its prey... The super-swift cheetah springs! But food is not on this hunter's mind... Optimus Primal vs Megatron!Shadow Panther was the head of the Predacon Secret Police, although rumors swirled about his origins and true allegiance, with some saying he was secretly a Builder rebuilt as a Predacon, or that his Spark had been altered by aliens. Which was, of course, ridiculous. After the Grand Uprising, he became a part of the second Tripredacus Alliance and a representative of the Independent Predacus States at the Cybertronian Parliament. Derailment War for Cybertron Trilogy marketing material While Optimus went onward to retrieve the Allspark, Cheetor and the Maximals disagreed with the Autobots over the importance of the Allspark and the nature of their own mission, until Rattrap pointed out that Primal had also gone missing. Kingdom episode 4 Cheetor and the other Autobots and Maximals soon re-united with their respective leaders, but they brought bad news: the AllSpark, separated from Cybertron for too long, had begun to die. After a brief stand-off against the two Megatrons, the Maximals and Autobots returned to the repaired Ark and prepared to launch before the Predacon-Decepticon alliance launched a full-scale assault, and as the heroes besieged the enemy starship Cheetor and Tigatron faced off against Ravage. Ultimately, however, the battle ended with the Ark itself assuming its new robot mode and toppling the Decepticon flagship, allowing the heroes to take the two Megatrons and their followers prisoner before blasting off. Kingdom episode 5 Part of the fourth wave of Kingdom Deluxe Class toys, Shadow Panther is a retool of Cheetor from the same line, with a new head based on the original figure's mutant head. He transforms into a "panther" in 20 steps. Shadow Panther's tail can detach to become a bladed whip, similar to Cheetor's Transmetal toy. His beast mode has fully articulated limbs and his jaw can open and close.
