    I far prefer the TM version of Cheetor over his season 1 appearance (and definitely over his TM2 version), but this looks very impressive. Almost incredible to imagine this sleek cheetah transforming into this robot.

    Not my favourite incarnation of Cheetor, but will definitely get.

    Well the there would be only 3 things TT would need to do so that Tigertron can become a MP: upscale the figure, different face for robot mode and tiger heard for beast mode....and by extension new chest piece mold for robot mode......

    That really doesn't matter, especially with how creative and inventive Takara can be.

    I don't think it will be that easy. Tigatron has an entirely different alt-mode, you'll need more than an upscaling and new heads, Cheetahs and Tigers are completely different in build. Even in the show Cheetor and Tigertron's alt-modes were quite different. Cheetor long and slender, Tigatron bulky and muscular. I'd vote for a new mould, they could reuse Cheetor's transformation scheme but there's enough differences between the two in the show that he is no longer an acceptable remould/repaint for the MP line.

    See, I wasn't even interested in Cheetor (as much as I love Beast Wars). I think I will be getting him now LOL!

    I'm kinda pissed that I sold my Rat Trap a long time ago, now. But I'll get one back.

    Nope, the toy Hasbro released as Tripredacus Agent was a redeco of Transmetal 2 Cheetor. Hasbro never released Takara's Shadow Panther.

    He was available through their online collector service in 1999 though, that's what I meant. And the name was changed from "Shadow Panther" to "Tripredacus Agent".

    I bet Beast Wars Masterpiece will last until the 30th Anniversary.

    Just noticed the light piping.
    As a fan of lightpiping done right, I approve.

    Heh, I forgot Hasbro even HAD an online collector service once. Did you buy one of these back then? I can't think of ever seeing one in package.

    Yes, but they'd have to retool it quite a lot so that it can transform into a micro cassette so he is accurate to the show. :)
