    I want him just because he's Cheetor, but something about the face(s) really makes me gravitate towards him. He looks, I dunno, like he's gonna get into trouble or something and knows it.

    One of my favorites! Out of all the GoBots I've held onto from childhood he's held up the best. Really hoping for an updated version someday.

    That was a really fun review. You have a knack for words and your Cheetor looks great.

    I got him today and he's quite pleasant. Wish some pieces didn't come off so easily, but it is more fun than I expect it. The armor reminds of me Optimus Primal and you can have him look like he's surfing on the boat too just like "Big Bot".

    Internal 'bot: fairly simple and basic, but kinda works for it regardless. Cheetah mode is rather hollow underneath. Pretty good for the most part.

    Exo-boat-skeleton: Stupid as hell, and doesn't really offer a lot more than monster arms, but still fun to revel in the silliness of it.

    But... The damn cheetah tail. I apparently snapped it off without noticing I'd done it, and now I have no idea where the part has gone. Hope I find it eventually.

    I small cheetah carrying a giant set of armor made out of a huge battleship Yamato-sized ship. seems legit.

    I think it's dumb. saw it in person and I couldn't facepalm hard enough.

    What pieces come off on yours? The bridge/control tower of the ship comes off pretty easily on mine (apparently an issue with the Bumblebee version as well) but fortunately nothing on Cheetor comes off.

    The tail is my only complaint with the set, mostly because it’s always in the way. I might see if I can trim it in such a way that it can fold flat against his back but there’s not much material to work with.

    Found him at target today, the last one they had. He's really fun. I gave him one of Cog's guns.

    EDIT: you can pop the tail off and he can hold it as a whip.

    The gun from NuRiD Starscream looks pretty good with Cheetor:

    I just got this guy, and it's a little weird how fun he is.

    [​IMG]

    Beast mode is just... really satisfying, for some reason. Like yeah, it's fairly hollow, but the shape of it is really nice.

    [​IMG]

    Robot mode is equally great. Again, it's hollow, but there's almost no kibble whatsoever and it just really well as Cheetor. I just wish the tail folded up a bit more, and I feel like the head is positioned to always look slightly up and I can't get it to fold down more.

    The boat is also pretty decent looking, and I really dig the Maximal symbol being on it. Just wish it was visible in robot mode. Speaking of...

    [​IMG]

    So yeah, it's pretty dumb, but in a fun way. I kinda wish the arms could hinge out slightly, though.

    we're on a forum for collecting children's toys, but somehow this one children's toy is just too ridiculous?

    I have no love for the gimmick, but man, this head sculpt deserves to be used for a custom at some point.

    If they sold the base Cheetor for like $7 as a basic figure I’d be all over it and probably have a blast with him.

    Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I love the gimmick, but $25 is a LOT for a solid looking Scout+/Miniluxe and a battleboat accessory. I'd be a lot more tempted to pick this up if I can find it for, say, $20

    Ah mann,my amazon order has been delay again today. Is Cheetor out of stock or something?
    I can't go hunt for it my self since I live in Thailand.
