I HOPE and PRAY that cheetor, wheeljack, and nightbird don't crumble apart eventually. that goldfish bronze plastic used on those three is terrifying ngl
It won't. The color of the plastic wasn't the problem with Gold Plastic Syndrome; it was the metallic material, and they don't use that kind of plastic anymore.
I do think that ROTB Cheetor's robot mode greatly evokes his Beast Machines design mostly because some of the design traits between them are similar and like in BM Cheetor's more matured and experienced in ROTB which given the role the Maximals have on being on Earth long before the Autobots and Decepticons I wouldn't be surprised if that's an intentional homage to that.
I had the exact same train of thought yesterday when I purchased him and was on my way home, this is what he should have been in Beast Machines, maybe the design was going to be a Legacy release and then ROTB was announced.
Would have appreciated it even more if it had a little bit dark metal blue. This rotb is inspired from its transmetal 2 and beast Machines design. The figure is really good.
@@PrimeVsPrime i did a redesign of this movie version by combining season 1 and transmetal 2 forms. Here, his tail is attached to his body and acts like a weapon similar to transmetal 2.
As a brand new design I’m too sold in this Cheetor, love how the robotic mixed with flesh work together perfectly. The spear weapon is a great choice too, much better than just giving him a whip or blaster. Will definitely get him as well as the other upcoming Maximals.
That’s not a good thing. A transformer should have recognisable parts of the alt mode in bot mode. That’s what makes their designs appealing. This is just a generic robot
@@nicholasstensson9699 it could be generic robot if he was another shellformer like some bayformers figures/toys, but this one actually transform, and he looks cool, He's like Beast Machines toyline's maximals but actually done better than some characters.
@@nicholasstensson9699 a cheetah doesn’t have many recognizable parts that can be part of the robot mode. Cheetor has everything he could possibly display being a cheetah
I've sadly had to skip a whole lot of awesome Transformers releases (both official and 3rd party) because I simply don't have the extra money nor space to continue purchasing these action figures. However, this Cheetor figure looks so freaking cool for a mainline voyager figure, I may have to make an exception for this one. If SS Optimus Primal is as good as Cheetor, I may get that one as well.
Hasbro is KILLING IT with these ROTB studio series figures. I've loved the designs of all these characters and CHEETOR is definitely one of my favourites so far. MAYBE the core class Arcee won't be so bad?
We know Prime vs Prime is so hype because every time he transforms toys he always missing one or two steps in every videos 😅😅😅 Thank God there's still other youtubers who can demonstrate complete step of transformations.
This is a rare video for me. I live in SC and I got this figure BEFORE his review. Usually his review comes out a month or two before my preorder goes through.
I remember the getting transmetal cheetor, and his only accessory was the detachble tail. Probly only used it in the show ONCE. Still my fav transformer tho
For the arm I would recommend that you could use a small pin on the arm at mid transformation and lightly tap it with a hammer and the pin should come off without damaging the figure and to tighten it either use masking tape on the inside and use it to add more friction
No hollow parts, decent transformation, and minimal color missing but engineering wise, it is much better compared to the last figures we got from this toy line 😊❤️
PrimeVsPrime… IM BEGGING you to make stop motions, you have literally every studio series figure made so far and I’d really like to see a stop motion :D
I’m loving the design for this version of Cheetor. Overall, this line of Studio Series, and a lot of the Mainline toys are phenomenal. Can’t wait for the film’s release. Keep up the good work, man.
They should have reversed the colors on the Hands and the Claws. This would have matched Silver Front Claws to Silver Back Claws and it would have blended the Hands into Beast Mode better.
I didn't care too much about these until I saw the movie, but after I just had to start tracking these down. The beasts are too cool. I don't think I'll be getting SS102 Prime since I already have SS38 but The Terrorcons are definitely on my list and probably the RoTB Autobots too. I haven't been this excited over a Transformers movie since 2007. RoTB is so good!
All they had to do is make the cheetah head split down the middle while staying together but once clipped into the chest section in robot mode the head will make the chest but slightly split towards the right or left arm to reveal a maximum symbol on the inside middle of the cheetah head. I wish i could show a picture to help you see my point lol
I think I can imagine what you’re saying. That maybe would’ve looked cool but I hate it when the animal head splits into 2. Usually it always leaves a nasty line/gap when combined
First thing I notice is how much brighter your copy is compared to the stock images, yours is a lot more golden bronze whilst the stock images were more redish brown, not sure if my memory is faulty, but it is interesting...
The color is fine. My biggest issue is the visible fists in beast mode. At voyager scale, there's no excuse for that. They easily could have made panels to hide them.
Yeah I agree, he needs to be a much less saturated sand color. Nice figure though! I actually like this Cheetor the most. Maybe Takara will Premium Finish him?
Definitely think one of the crossovers could be a black Panther one to honor Chadwick considering this design is such a perfect black Panther transformer with some minor tweaks
kiki for loose joints, on eBay! The colorway on this Cheetor is accurate to a real cheetah, they're not sunbeam yellow. The new one is too "muscular" in beast mode, cheetah's are sleek and almost aerodynamic. They made him too bulky.
This review just sold me on the mold, but I'm gonna hold out for a Premium Finish version. If that never happens, I'm sure this version will be on sale somewhere
Cool review. I would love to see this figure scaled up and retooled so the animal head flips out onto the chest to give us a Tigatron and Shadowpanther (ideally with a gut gun).
I think that rotb Cheetor looks like Black Panther but has a cheetah coloring and have a anmintium claws, Makes me wanna hunt him down when by the movie comes out
Woudl be pretty cool if a third party company made an upgrade kit to fill in the gap under the neck in beast mode to allow his arms to stay out to the side for better articulation in beast mode
Honestly, the Cyberverse Cheetor is a far better updated Cheetor... it's a good design, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't feel like Cheetor! One thing is refreshing a look, one thing is wiping it away and putting an old name on a completely different design. The RotB mainline Cheetor works leagues better AS A CHEETOR. Mold wise, I have a few complaints: the feet are comicallt small, I worry about it standing, the hands fully visible in beast mode, for a voyager, are flat out wrong... and what is it with RotB and colors? It looks like everything went through a sepia filter! Take BB, OP and Arcee away and you got: -Battletrap -Scourge -Freezer -Airazor -Cheetor -Elton John -Rhinox -Primal All of them being in shades ranging from ochre orange, to dirty white, to dark brown to dusty gray. Where are the colors?
I really do love this "updated" take on our Golden rocket lol he looks more feline like in robot mode and dare I say better in some ways than his 90s incarnation
i might keep this guy in robot mode, but with the back legs in beast mode - the digitigrade look during the reverse transformation process looked super neat
The design leans more toward Transmetal 2 Cheetor or Beast Machines cheetor. Really all of them feel more like Beast Machines esque designs while maintaining a design that's possible. Beast machines they just morph into a different form. Overall downplaying the bright colors from the Maximals doesn't help in comparison to the show colors. Personally I disliked how small Cheetor was for this line. So I might pick this one up and have him take the previous figures place.
If you look closely at the chest in robot mode it looks like it has a beast like face on it. Also, who else thinks that the way the tail stores in robot mode makes it look like its Cheetors spine?
I HOPE and PRAY that cheetor, wheeljack, and nightbird don't crumble apart eventually. that goldfish bronze plastic used on those three is terrifying ngl
Goldfish? Do you mean Goldish?
I think the gold plastic syndrome was fixed a while ago
I think the studio series versions of wheeljack and nightbird will be better
It won't. The color of the plastic wasn't the problem with Gold Plastic Syndrome; it was the metallic material, and they don't use that kind of plastic anymore.
@@ferzwither it was I believe, I remember watching different reviews in recent times, like in the last year kind of recent, and it has been mentioned
I do think that ROTB Cheetor's robot mode greatly evokes his Beast Machines design mostly because some of the design traits between them are similar and like in BM Cheetor's more matured and experienced in ROTB which given the role the Maximals have on being on Earth long before the Autobots and Decepticons I wouldn't be surprised if that's an intentional homage to that.
Maybe hasbro planning another toyline trilogy miniseries also reviving transtech.
@@RACH90810 yes. That was awesome
Don't blame em since beast machines had potential and then messed up on everything
I had the exact same train of thought yesterday when I purchased him and was on my way home, this is what he should have been in Beast Machines, maybe the design was going to be a Legacy release and then ROTB was announced.
It's closer to the Transmetal 2 design.
I love the spine effect we get with the tail in robot mode!
Yeah that’s really cool!
I actually really like how the tail looks in robot mode, it looks like a spine
Would have appreciated it even more if it had a little bit dark metal blue. This rotb is inspired from its transmetal 2 and beast Machines design. The figure is really good.

I really do get Black Panther vibes from this guy! Nice to see paramount taking inspiration on marvel characters!
Huh? How? In what way?
@@JeffZ1028 the head sculpt
He doesn't know does he
It’s stunning how cheetor looks like he doesn’t transform, which is a big difference between this and the original design!
Agreed! You really wouldn’t tell he was a cheetah in bot mode haha
That’s not a good thing. A transformer should have recognisable parts of the alt mode in bot mode. That’s what makes their designs appealing. This is just a generic robot
What is your song intro

“Elton John” made me spurt tea out my nose.🤣
I like the way the tail lines up with the back to make a robo spine.
Oh yes that’s a nice touch!
This figure is my fave Cheetor. I do like all the designs, but just love how this one turned out. Super fun figure and feels great in hand.
I absolutely love this Cheetor design. I'm so so so hyped for this film. All of the designs look great to me so far!
He looks so cool, I love his new design!
I agree!
I really love this new version of cheetor it looks like beast Machines cheetor came back and ask hasbro for a Hole new Makeover
Haha yes! I can definitely see the inspiration!
Really appreciate the new reverse transformations
Thanks mate 🙏🏻
When you need ideas to pose, how to transform and a review PrimevPrime always my go to. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Ah thank you so much! 🤩
I like it! I do wish the articulation in cheetah mode (specifically the front) was better
If you untab the shoulders from the neck it gives a decent amount more posability and it still looks good.
@@doublenep7095 ik
Unfortunately we never really get great articulation with beast modes

It’s a pretty cool one to get! :)
Epic review!! I’m really sold on the redesign.
I bought him and arcee and I’m hoping they will arrive soon.
Thank you! :)
So happy you are doing the reverse transformations aswell
Thank you! 🙏🏻
7:34 had me dying and I don’t know why 😂😂😂
he looks great!! definitely give transmetal vibes
I like how the tail looks like his spine in robot mode
I think the design is a nice refreshing take on cheetor. He looks really good imo. Especially the colors
I’m getting him. Making him MY first Cheetor toy
Cheetor’s design is based on his Transmetals counterpart with the color scheme of his Transmetals 2 version
Honestly, he reminds me more of the beast machines version.
The elton john joke always makes me chuckle

Is it just me or does the beast head sculpt look almost like a bear rather than a feline
6:12 Now that’s what I call a Glow-Up
For the arm I would recommend that you could use a small pin on the arm at mid transformation and lightly tap it with a hammer and the pin should come off without damaging the figure and to tighten it either use masking tape on the inside and use it to add more friction
Oh wow thank you so much for the advice! I’ll give that a go! Much appreciated! 🙏🏻

WHAT A COOL CHEETOR FIGURE ,I’m definitely picking this up tbh
It’s pretty nice!
This mold would look amazing in Transmetal 1 or even beast macines colors
I didn't care too much about these until I saw the movie, but after I just had to start tracking these down. The beasts are too cool.

the robot mode is an absolute beast of a design 😮
The color is fine. My biggest issue is the visible fists in beast mode. At voyager scale, there's no excuse for that. They easily could have made panels to hide them.
I agree! They do sadly stick out 😒 I wish they’d had folded inside the forearm
Optimus: WE MUST FIND THE 4 TRANSWARP KEYS BEFORE THE TERRORCONS CAN USE THEM FOR EVIL
Can we get a transformers movie not centered on a maguffin
At first I wasn't sure about this figure but now that I got him I absolutely LOVE HIM
I just noticed the pelvis panel kinda has the shape of the Maximal logo 😂 It reminds me of Battletrap's Predacon logo con his crotch 😂😂
I think if Cheetor just had the helmet crest I’d be way happier with this design.
Yeah that maybe would’ve been a nice touch!
He reminds me of the classic Beast Wars. I would humbly say it is a fantastic tribute paid to the original.
I can't wait to see Cheetor to do a Wolverine move
That would be so cool!
The tail on cheetors back looks like a spine, so sick
That’s very true!
Beast Machines Cheetor, transmetal 2 Cheetor and black panther vibes
How does it have Black Panther vibes? Where and how?
@@JeffZ1028 Cheetors facial features looks like Black panthers mask
Yeah I agree, he needs to be a much less saturated sand color. Nice figure though! I actually like this Cheetor the most. Maybe Takara will Premium Finish him?
I’ve just ordered him today primevsprime
What an awesome and quick transformation!
Interesting, but I hope he gets a more stylish and vibrant redeco.
That would be nice!
Definitely think one of the crossovers could be a black Panther one to honor Chadwick considering this design is such a perfect black Panther transformer with some minor tweaks
I would like too!
Omg did I get mine before you for once yaya
This guy is good reference to beast machines)
i wonder if we’ll ever get a cheetor with a similar style to perfect effect leonidas

Cheetahs don’t roar they meow like house cats
Me as Cheetos: meow
that tail looks like a robo spine, nice!
I really like that the robot mode looks more athletic than muscular because of the Cheetah alt mode
Better than I expected! I'm impressed!
I absolutely hated this figure when it was revealed, but after seeing pics and reviews from everyone who has him....I LOVE HIM
I like the fact that he is pretty much the beast machines design but better
This review just sold me on the mold, but I'm gonna hold out for a Premium Finish version. If that never happens, I'm sure this version will be on sale somewhere
If his tail comes out, I'm sure larkain could make a T2 esq Cheetor tail so we have a standin for that figure. This figure is soooo good!
Cool review. I would love to see this figure scaled up and retooled so the animal head flips out onto the chest to give us a Tigatron and Shadowpanther (ideally with a gut gun).

Another really good review like always
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
I hope cheetor and bumblebee will be best buds in the movie
Cheetor is not even gonna get any characterization so I'd temper my expectations.
He's probably going to be like tfp prime x100 with seriousness
I really think with today’s technology they can do better.
Woudl be pretty cool if a third party company made an upgrade kit to fill in the gap under the neck in beast mode to allow his arms to stay out to the side for better articulation in beast mode
Cheetos looks like Accurate Figure of the Voyager Class from Transformers Rise of the Beasts Studio Series 98
I like the cyborg/animal vibe much like the Transmetal 2 figures.
i hope they make a ravage out of this, would work really well for the beast wars version of ravage.
Would be really cool if they repainted this guys as a part of the NEST line
Honestly, the Cyberverse Cheetor is a far better updated Cheetor... it's a good design, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't feel like Cheetor!

-Scourge
-Freezer
-Airazor
-Cheetor
-Elton John
-Rhinox
-Primal
All of them being in shades ranging from ochre orange, to dirty white, to dark brown to dusty gray.
Where are the colors?
I’ll make decision when I see it in the wild.
Mine also has loose elbows. Haven't gotten around to tightening them yet, but I imagine kikis or dr dstars will do the trick.
If cheetor ever became a prime, this is pretty much what he’d look like
I really do love this "updated" take on our Golden rocket lol he looks more feline like in robot mode and dare I say better in some ways than his 90s incarnation
i might keep this guy in robot mode, but with the back legs in beast mode - the digitigrade look during the reverse transformation process looked super neat
He looks a lot better in hand than in the promo shots.
I wonder if Cheetor would be inexperience warrior from the 90s show or an older character 🤔
I really hope he calls Primal Big bot in the movie
The design leans more toward Transmetal 2 Cheetor or Beast Machines cheetor.
Really all of them feel more like Beast Machines esque designs while maintaining a design that's possible. Beast machines they just morph into a different form.

Hey PrimevsPrime did you know that you can combine the studios series Cheator and Airazer figures
Cheetah in his Cheetor mode
This is actually better than i thought
I like him, he looks really awesome. Hovewer I have a Kingdom version od Cheetor and I am not shure to buy or pass him.
If you look closely at the chest in robot mode it looks like it has a beast like face on it. Also, who else thinks that the way the tail stores in robot mode makes it look like its Cheetors spine?
