    Not sure if this is old news, but Yellow Leopard is showing up on Show-Z at $78.99 now. I'm fairly happen with that given the quality of Skateboard Gorilla.

    @synchronii Thank you, I just pre ordered two SEPARATE ones from ShowZ. One very important TIP WHEN ORDERING MULTIPLE PRODUCTS FROM SHOWZ: Oddly enough, when I preordered two Cheetors, I only got the painfully long 2 month shipping option (I live in Illinois USA). But when I placed the preorders separately it was their free regular 15-20 day shipping for each item. I guess size and wt. matter for shipping due to the pandemic. I learned my lesson the hard way with TransArt Primal since I preordered two together and it took exactly 2 months to arrive. Some of the thrill had fizzled by then.
    I do not believe the price is unreasonable for Cheetor. The TM Primals from them are VERY high quality. In hand the looks are dead-on to season 2 models. Primal is pretty big with accessories and a stand. Granted, TM Cheetor does NOT come with a stand and many/if any accessories (though I do wish he would come with at least a flight stand), but compared to other MPs/3P MPs I think this is reasonable given their quality. They are only going to get more expensive as they establish their name and quality. That's just the nature of the business.
    Competition would be nice to drive the price down but I doubt anyone will tackle Season 2 Beastwars when TransArt is doing SUCH a fine job and the fan base for BW is not nearly as big as G1 (hopefully that will change as Kingdom products sell well and hopefully lead to a BeastWars inspired Movie). That is why I intend to support as many good BeastWars products as I can. The future looks bright for the Beasties.

    YAY! Bit of an update. Looks like his release date is going to be some time in January which is a lot sooner than I had anticipated!

    Very nice, thank you for the update. I cannot imagine how the quality will be better than the Skateboard Gorilla as I have TWO copies and they are both almost flawless (minus the robot shoulder pad scratches on both... battle damage does not bother me!). I assume it will be heavier as many people perceive weight with quality (unlike me). Still looking forward to my two Cheetors and two Ravages. Let 2021 be a start of recovery and better health for all.

    I'm so conflicted. One hand I want this Cheetor in hand... but on the other I was budgeting for later! I hope Ravage is a month or so later to space out my wallet, lol

    Didn't realize that Transmetal Cheetor was doing heavy squats, cause look at those thunder thighs. Then I rewatched BW Agenda and those are spot on.

    Side note: Just saw that Ravage thread, damnnnn... (In a good way).
