    Kingdom Cheetor sure is a terrible, lazy figure, but it's not the worst Cheetor figure ever made. That would have to be Universe Cheetor.

    I can't speak for anyone else, but for me personally, it's the "silhouette"...It's just flat out horrendous, kibbly, and just plain wrong in comparison. Also looks nothing like the athletic runner that is Cheetor.

    And as for the Netflix version "being even better with much nicer paint"...How is it much nicer paint, when Hasbro completely omitted the Paint in some of the most important & Iconic places? So it's the wrong shade of Blue or it's Zero Paint on the Legs??? And this is right after Hasbro got the paint for the R.E.D. & Cyberverse figures correct. Really...Why???

    Then it's a good thing we have options.

    I hate the the robot legs and weapons on the Cheetor mold. I feel a leg redesign would make the figure a good figure.

    I love that we are getting all these deep cut repaint characters. Stuff that would have been expensive botcon releases in the past.

    Keepnem coming Hasbro. This is my Jam.

    I like Kingdom Cheetor. Aside from the poor weapon choice they went with for a Transmetal reference, he's a nice cat.

    Certainly not leaps and bounds better than either of the previous two. Small improvements yes.

    Kingdom Cheetor is by far the best cheetah transformer we've ever gotten, and it's probably the best Cheetor we've ever gotten. Masterpiece is a pretty good Cheetor, but it's kinda unwieldy in service of being hypershow accurate. Which is good to exist! But Kingdom is a much more satisfying $20 version that you can actually swap back and forth in less than an hour.

    I absolutely love the way the legs transform. They result in nigh-perfect cheetah legs and surprisingly good robot Cheetor legs. All around it's a high bar for future Cheetors to reach.

    Seems to me that the bar was extremely lowered with the KD Cheetor mold...The kibble shell on KD Cheetors shoulders is so prominent, that it literally almost has the exact same silhouette as Marvel's Mr Sinister?!

    See for yourself:
    20220124_192952.jpg 20220124_192926.jpg 20220124_192759.jpg
    How can the KD Cheetor mold possibly look fast, or even look like Cheetor, when it has the "Good Year Blimp" across it's back and shoulders? I mean Cheetor is supposed to look fast & athletic, right???

    The Kingdom Cheetor certainly has a better Beast Mode, but the Kenner Cheetor most definitely has a better robot mode and much better details.

    Nope!

    The beast head hid the actual robot head in bot mode, it had way more obtrusive kibble and the proportions were all over the place. Even for the time, the original BW toy was rather weak compared to the rest of the line (For example, Wolfang did similar things and also had flaws but its execution was still better).

    It’s a good chug version of Cheetor who is pretty close in likeness to his animated version. And very posable to.

    Dude, your grasping at straws to try and justify your hatred of this figure. Just say you don’t personally like it and move on.

    I just gotta say, I'm not really liking how Hasbro's gotten away from giving us little bonuses like new weapons with these plain repaints... even just an "official" Cheetor-sized gut gun would've been a cool inclusion here. Plus the lack of paint etc... it does really feel like a particularly greedy money grab.

    Absolutely agreed, I honestly don't think I'll ever need another season 1 style Cheetor, especially considering the whole season 1 Maximal cast has gotten done.

    And his Tail Gun.
    And less restrictive kibble around the shoulders.
    And a better transformation of the legs.

    There's plenty of room for improvement. Plenty.
