universe classics 2.0 cheetor review

Universe/classics Cheetor is a figure that got a lot of things right but also got a lot of things wrong.He is highly poseable in cat mode and can pull off some nice (yiff)poses but bot mode suffers because of it.

Alt mode


He has a lever that allows his mouth to open and close but cannot stay open (ala Grimlock)

As said previously he has multiple joint on his legs that allow for a variety of poses and stances.
The big down points are,
a non movable neck and head(one piece)
Some visible joints without a solid beast mode.

Alt mode

Can pull off some nice poses but suffers because of the complex transformation.(Impressive for a deluxe)
The problems with bot mode,
Head is on a limited peg joint and can only look side to side
Arms have some pose-ability but the cat legs are attached to his bot arms and limits his poses.(modding is possible)

Tail becomes a sword and he has two shurikans very similar to prowl's.(attach to his back legs under the thighs)

The backpack is a big problem but is required because of transformation similar to Galvatron.


Although he has issues he is still a rather fun and inventive deluxe figure that is a nice upgrade over the beast war figure.

Recommended for completeist or if you are a cheetor fan but casual fans may want to stay away.

Compared to Beast wars cheetor(yiff).He towers over him by about 3 inches and puts him to shame

Compared to a taller deluxe.Has about a inch over cyclonus including ears.

I love BW so I'll probably end up picking this up at some point, not a priority though.

Have you tried putting the feet flat in robot mode? I get the impression that's the intention from the Takara photos, and would make the toy a bit less "damn that's tall." (yiff) .

Yeah, the feet look like they can slide into the calves, to make it better proportioned.

I just can't stand how the robot mode looks in pics. Maybe when I get him in person he'll turn out better.

Cheetor seems to be a set back from his mold instead of a step forward.

Michael Bay may not have raped my childhood, but I think he may have molested it.

It's largely an improvement over the original, particularly the Cheetah mode, but probably not enough for me to buy it. The bot mode isn't all that inspiring.

Still, I appreciate the fact that some Beast Wars characters are getting a remake alongside the G1 characters.
