    I’ve just got to have Primal posed flying. As the only original maximal who could do so, it’s a must. May as well show off the full pose-

    I’ll love when I can have Optimus chasing down MPs Terrorsaur and Waspinator and doing so with a big, cheeky smile on his face.

    goodness he looks wonderful. I'll have to pick him up before Dinobot comes out. I meant to buy him ages ago, but I ended up moving country twice in the last year and doing a ton of traveling so it just didn't happen.

    well, I'll get round to it. he is my favourite transformers character after all. he's so much more of an engaging leader than Prime, who I quite frankly find rather boring, more an icon than a person.

    I forget, does he have individual pointing fingers? I hope he does, so when MP Waspinator finally comes out we can reenact the head tap (and that wonderful wave) from a better mousetrap. oh goodness I can hear Waspinator crying out 'OPTIMUS PRIMAL' right now :D :D 

    I have to to say, having only Primal being able to fly on the Maximals side was a great story telling decision. his flight mode, and the fact he's the most heavily armed of the season 1 Maximals makes sense too, with him having connections to the Maximal police force (as evidenced by his relationship with Depthcharge).

    dang it's a good figure. have to say, it really is the best transformer I have ever seen. that might change when I have both him and Dinobot in hand, but I don't think I'll mind ;)  how could any BW fan be unhappy with both MP Primal and Dinobot:D :D

    Please Takara DON'T repaint Cheetor and call him Tigertron, as he wouldn't fit the aesthetics for that particular character! But God knows that once Takara/Hasbro gets a figure, they'll repaint the hell out of it just to make more money. But seriously paint him black and call it night panther or whatever but don't ruin my pleasure for Beast Wars and ruin a perfectly good character model!

    them simply repainting cheetor to tigatron is unlikely considering the amount of care and detail that went into making primal, cheetor and dinobot as show accurate as possible

    Thanks for notifying Takara! I'm sure they'll take note of your request.

    Seriously though you're preaching to the converted, take some time to read back through this thread and you'll see it's been discussed to death and people like @tigatron2002 and I are repeating ourselves by saying we feel it's highly unlikely TT will make MP Tigatron a straight repaint of MP Cheetor. It wouldn't BE a Masterpiece and therefore would be quite incongruous with the line thus far. He's too well loved a character to put out as a 'cheap' repaint especially when the in show scale and alt-mode were considerably different to Cheetor. Chances are if MP Tigatron does happen he'd be a new mould that borrows extensively from Cheetors transformation scheme.

    As far as the MP line goes I've seen very little evidence (especially recently) that when "Takara/Hasbro gets a figure, they'll repaint the hell out of it just to make more money." a) Hasbro rarely even bothers with the MP line these days and b) all the repaints in recent times (except maybe Targetmaster Hotrod) have been warranted, extensively remoulded and very well received by fans.

    Edit: just noticed this was Jon's first post so apologies Jon, that was a little harsh of me. Welcome to the boards :)

    The only repaint MP Cheetor could ever receive is Shadow Panther or the Orangey Yellow with brown spot toy colors. Yes Im sure that had been said to death too but sounds like we need a refresher

    If they do make some mould adjustments for Tigertron I hope the Tigertron version is used as the basis of a Shadoow Panther toy at some point.

    Biology a Panther would look better out of a beefier tiger body, but in homage I’d still like it from Cheetor

    For an obscure redeco, how about pre-reformatting Beast Machines Cheetor? You know, with the eye shadow and weirdly shaped spots.

    I feel like this could kind of work, oddly. I mean a new head, and since the robot chest is hidden by stuff, it wouldn't hurt for a remold. Same goes for the rear legs and even front upper shoulders. I'd hardly say it would count as a MP, and like honestly what line would they put it in, but it's something I'd like to see.

    He’s not saying to do it as bm cheetor, he’s saying a straight repaint as the beast wars season 1 cheetor from the first episode of beast machines from before they were reformatted by the oracle

    Oh. I didn't even know Cheetor looked different in the first episode of Beast Machines, compared to his season 1 model.
    Been a while since I've seen the two, let alone within a short timespan of one another.

    Yep, all the season 1 character models were tweaked slightly for that first episode of beast machines in a similar manner to megatrons tm2 beast mode

    Is this figure going to be rereleased? Or should I bite the bullet and pay eBay prices? Sorry if this question was already answered!

    Hmm, didn't even know he sold out - he was still on BBTS a couple of months ago. Maybe try the b/s/t board here?
