    I agree with the others who say he needs more spots. It looks really great though. I think the guns from the blurr mold would work better with the character.

    Along with all other G1 inspired Transformers, it looks stupid and boxey, which leads me to the question...

    Why does Hasbro keep on catering to these 30year old nostalgics, who's rather see the franchise die than evolve into something modern ie 'better'?

    I dont really like the classic Cheetor but this i must say looks awesome. Great use of the paint and i love the Spoiler, could you let me know where the spoiler came from? :) 

    The paintapps on the Sword are also pretty cool.

    That is very well done, and overall works incredibly well. Excellent work. And I thank you for not covering the car mode with spots. Doing this to my Hasbro Drift may give me an excuse to grab United Drift.

    Is there a lot of paint rubbing? I want to add this to my to-do list.

    It's flawless. Really, the only thing I can say is: maybe it could use some spots in vehicle mode...the idea is great, the execution is great.

    Wow!

    Wow that's pretty negative feedback. What your implying is a matter of opinion. To assume that all robotic races everywhere would cater to a more rounded organic like form is poppycock. Hasbro caters to these 30 year old nostalgics because that's what makes transformers transformers and those of us who hasbro are catering too are usually in our late 20's early 30's.

    As for the bot. I love the paintwork on this. I gotta say though I beat you to it. But where mine would be classics yours would be henkei. Nice job.
