    Primal in October; Cheetor in December... would it be too much to hope for Dinobot in the spring?

    Cheetors' gun did sound unique and awesome in the show whether it was being fired or reloaded, quasar jams haha nice one Zook, but for his price and size would electronics even be possible? Electronics for the MP line that I'm aware of are MP1, Megatron, Grimlock, Shockwave and Primal... Cheetor would be the smallest so far to get them if he did.

    If it had electronics it wouldn't be the lower price it is.

    yeah, I don't collect Beast Wars, not really a fan of the series, G1 all the way for me...

    I'm still gonna need three of this! will have to wait for payday next Friday, hopefully preorders will still be open from the Japanese sites. but then, with the Yen as it is and the shipping, may be better off just getting it from TCP.

    Yeah, I get that...but do robotic cats? Optimus Primal needs monkey nipples, for added realism.

    OK, I'm only teasing but I don't think he looks that bad. For the record, I don't like BW and I don't have any intention of getting this. But for what it is trying to achieve, it does a good job. Trying to achieve a kibble free animal robot mode as it appeared on the cartoon is near impossible. G1 vehicle Transformers can get away with it because the kibble is incorporated into the character design (for example, G1 Prowl's door wings). This is an organic design...it's going to be a lot more difficult.

    This figure is looking amazing !! Primal and Cheetor will be together in the same glass case . I'm totally ready for more. BW MP 's . Heck , it seems like Takara gets these right better then the G1 MP figures !

    A lot of G1 MP collectors,a lot of Beast War collectors too, good job on Takara to try cater to all the needs of various collectors.

    I think a Tigatron remold is more likely first but a Dinobot next December would be awesome

    Anyone that pays $75.99 for this is wasting money. I preordered today for less than $50. Gotta love the front page sponsor worship.

    As someone that's bought a lot of stuff from overseas sellers these past couple of years, I just don't see much of a difference between ordering from domestic stores or overseas stores at the moment thanks to the stronger yen these days.

    Anyone that's bought one is a hero in my book. They're doing their bit to increase the chances of seeing more figures like this is the future.

    So were you able to preorder Cheetor for $50 shipped?

    Or $50 + $26 shipping = $76?
