I don't mind the transtech head, looks unique and interesting, Guyver like which I can get behindView attachment 29943142

So you're saying you can't see the inspiration.
Ingestor
Why is this a common "conclusion"? They share basically no traits beyond "battle mask". And said mask is drastically different, RoTB's crest is clearly just normal Cheetor(but worse to look like Black Panther).

Even stuff that'd be super easy to carry over didn't make it, why on earth would this be a reference; having transtech "ears" would even work as a double reference as they're the armor plates from BM.
The other heads definitely don't fit the bill either(especially the ones on the other chart, though I don't think people generally recall those abominations and I'm too lazy to combine them)
IgnikaMarcus
So, after seeing TJOmega's video on Transtech and comparing, I've come to the conclusion that Cheetor's head is based on his Transtech self.
PrimalFury
Maybe someone can do a side by side with SS cheetor and the best image of Cheetor from the film.
All of them so far are inaccurate to some degree except for maybe Rhinox, that one looks pretty accurate. SS Cheetor needs more spots, more plates, the maximal emblem on the forehead, more fur detail etc
SPLIT LIP
Yeah, the cheetah in general isn't really accurate.
octobotimus
Idk it still looks more like a bear than a cheetah head to me.
Dictionaryabot8407
Seems alright. Pretty correct. More so than scourge.
Evad
Yeah, on top of that, I don't like how it lacks the fur detailing present on the on-screen model. Color is something one can change with some paint, but molded details aren't something you can easily fix, which is why I've been delaying my purchases of the recent SS ROTB figures other than SS100 Bumblebee which to be relatively accurate.
Purple Heart
I think the cheetah head still sucks and the colors are on point but serverly lacking. Oh well.
Evad
Now that we got a better look from new trailers and clips, what do you guys think about the movie accuracy of SS Cheetor?

One of my elbows was loose too – future took care of that.
I'm digging my Cheetor. It's the first figure in a long time that I didn't transform once or twice and then throw into a bin. I have fiddled with Cheetor a ton – I especially enjoy trying to find cool "running" cheetah poses. Some of the ones I've seen others do are great!
DracoPrimal
"Rise from your grave….!"
CryptiniteDemon
The elbows on mine are really loose. He barely stands up in beast mode and only with his legs straight up. Can't do any sort of poses in beast mode.
Honestly I'm pretty disappointed with this figure. For what it is, it shouldn't be $35. Usually when i get a figure in hand it bumps it up a few points but not getting that here.
Pixelmaster
Do yourself a favor and get a 2 dollar panel lining pen if you pick him up, blackwashing the fur and panel lining his legs and head does wonders

Any place I could find the HD stock package images of him and rest of this wave? The ones we’ve got from that Korean(?) site weren’t the greatest quality
SPLIT LIP
Your paint job is great!

Kinda like Gerwalk mode for the Valkrye Macross Jets. But Bi pedal Beast humanoid mode. Nice.
