No reason to reinvent the wheel when some of the work is done for you.
At least this one gets the gun and ax.

Which makes me wonder if we are looking at ss voyager
Cheetor rather than the mainline deluxe

That might explain why it comes with the gun that Kingdom Tigatron had but Kingdom Cheetor didn't.william-james88 wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Sabrblade wrote:So, just like Airazor's Studio Series figure, it heavily borrows from the engineering of the Kingdom figure.

Size and inacuracy to what we've seen in the trailer (along with bright colours) hints at the deluxe, but the extra gun accessory and reuse of a kingdom mold like what happened with Studio Series Airazor could place it in the Studio Series. Let us know what you think and enjoy the new pics!
The Gut Gun has storage as well. It still befuddles the mind they couldn't have come up with something to work with Kingdom Cheetor. I still think its fantastic

Considering the differences in the beast legs on the bot shins (Kingdom's just sit on top of the shin, the RotB's actually tuck inside from the back) I'm inclined not to lump this as a Kingdom re-use/variant.

I agree. One must be totally blind to see this as a Kingdom retool. There is absolutely ZERO reused parts anywhere, unlike SS Airaizor who is a clear and simple repaint of the Kingdom.
It still remain unclear if that Cheetor is the SS "voyager" though.

It's the deluxe, we know that now. Looking at him in the trailer, he doesn't have the cheetah legs in his back so the SS will probably look more like his beast machines self than his original beast wars self, which this one emulates.
And good thing I didn't call it a retool since it isn't that. One thing about Airazor though, her SS toy shares no parts with the Kingdom figure either.

It's the exact same class as rotb deluxe airazor. But FYI, all these toys are made for kids, Studio Series too.

My point was that the studio series deluxe Airazor looks bad, but I really digged the look of the other one, so I hope it is not the same here.

Why is the cat wearing pants? On that note, I kinda wish that the toy had more of a single color pallet, like either go full on the yellow with some copper paint for robot mode or vice-versa.
Side note, I appreciate how the cheetah legs go forward, back, then forward again, looks much better than the kingdom’s that goes back, forward, then forward again.

It's what we like to call "shared engineering". Same transformation but no parts in common.

Does anyone else miss the good ol days where there was only one line and we didn't get confused?
Also, does anyone else remember getting out of bed to EAT Rice Krispies rather than getting out of bed SOUNDING like Rice Krispies?

I do miss not sounding like Rice Krispies getting out of bed.
But to be fair to the movie figures, the RotB toyline with these specific figures in it were supposed to be released last year, with the SS figures this year. There was supposed to be a year's difference, not side-by-side releases.

1) The duck mouth. He doesn't need to have the G1 grill/mask. I get it; they want to use mouths to emote. But that particular design is off-putting to me.
2) I wish they had made the highlight color green instead of tan, as a reference to the G1 Wheeljack. A vintage army-ish green would look great on a camper van.

I don't see these as glasses now. The way they are designed, they are more like safety goggles and are similar to the kinds that scientists wear in the laboratory. That kind of adds to that "mad scientist" vibe. I'm curious to see the SS version compared to this one.

We should probably wait until we see how he looks in the movie, I doubt the toy could do proper removable glasses without them being big and chunky on a non-SS figure. That's assuming they were meant to be removed in the first place.

Actually they're right if you look at one of the first pictures with the glasses off you do see a square hole
