BEAST WARS! Masterpiece Cheetor is out in the wild and we now have our second in the Masterpiece Beast Wars line up. Cheetor was a welcome addition to the team as most of his previous toy incarnations have been sub par and not screen accurate. This one however delivers – it is hands down the best Cheetor figure to date, and is pretty show accurate in both modes. The robot mode is near perfection, and kitty mode gets things as close as can be given his sleek thin nature. He joins Optimus Primal and the recently announced future Dinobot. Toss in Generations Rhinox and Rattrap and you’re pretty close to a season 1 Maximal line up, though we here at TFW2005 strongly advocate for their own Masterpieces down the line too!
We’ve done up a detailed gallery so head on over to Reflector @ TFW2005 and check out 100+ images of MP34 Masterpiece Cheetor in action!
He’s in stock now and shipping from site sponsor TFSource – Masterpiece Cheetor @ TFSource.
Recent Masterpiece Releases: MP Cheetor, MP Grapple, MP Megatron 2.0 (Pre-Order), Inferno, Optimus Primal, Masterpiece Pre-Orders.

Just got mine today. Striking figure. I have yet to transform him, but so far my impression is that as I suspected from the pictures, his front legs are super long, his shoulders are broad and his head is relatively small so he ends up looking ungainly in beast mode without careful posing. Then again, thanks to the sophistication of CGI at the time the BW characters did often look ungainly. And those dopey faces are show accurate alright
Not that I don't like him, he's a remarkable toy. Looking forward to the bot mode too.

Does anyone have both MP Cheetor and Ocular Max Jaguar? I'd love to see a couple of pics of them together for a size comparison.

Dat Maximal Group shot..
MP Dinobot soon! I hope they round up the cast and Takaratomy can add an MP Rhinox to the mix. Gonna be epic if they do!

My MP Cheetor arrived with two 'smile' faces and no 'surprised' faces. Anyone out there get the opposite who could trade with me?
(I don't have a lot of confidence in Nippon-Yasan fixing it for me)
*edit: Thanks to this post, somebody who _did_ have the opposite problem tracked me down & we made a trade! See my post in the thread of wierd for unusual details.

I read online someplace that beast wars is getting a Netflix miniseries. Can't remember the source, so take with a grain of salt.

AWESOME! Make me hate not having time to pick my son's Cheetor even more.

We all have an understanding of which character I was talking about. If I had said terrorsaur, I'd understand.

You quoted his post and continued with a conversation about, what looked like your agreement, about TigERtron. I would hope you understand the reason for the correction.
slugslinger2004
… My orignial post said TigAtron…
flux convoy
Tigatron is the character you're both talking about. Tigertron is not. They're different things.
rtm
That shot of Primal riding Rhinox looks totally wrong. LMAO!!!!!!
slugslinger2004
Correct, but at that point it's an entirely new mold, just with shared engineering between the two. I'm only expecting the worst, while hoping for the best.
Back to Cheetor, this has been one of my favortie MPs in a while. It's amazing to me you can only see the pixelation in super high res pics or if you're super close to the toy.

Gorgeous gallery boss. The group shots are amazing.

For tigertron, the would need a considerable amount of retooling other than the heads: all 4 legs, torso, and tailgun for accurate thickness difference. Takara would need to scale up the reusable parts also if they're trying to keep these figures in scale.

I hope the day comes that Beast Wars makes a cartoon come back. May be a reboot?
slugslinger2004
Beautiful pics. I can't wait to see what repaint they decide to do with Cheetor. Tigatron would at least need new robot face plates and a beast mode head, though I think (hope) he'll at least get larger limbs as well.
flux convoy
They change the head and chest and that bot mode is aces.
