Nice

 

Possible, no, it is a fact that is official, in itself, the leakers ruined our surprise with Tigatron and Waspinator, so a black repaint with a mutant Cheetor mask no longer attracts so much attention, only those two tails are curious.

 

Probably just someone that stole two factory samples and gave the tail of one to the other.

Speaking of which... Pipes leak when. Give me my pipey boy.

 

Heck yeah, been waiting for a Shadow Panther for a long time! Looks like the beast head might be different? That would be a pleasant surprise if so.

Ya'll can keep your Agent Ravage, gimme some more toy-only BW weirdos!

 

Just like the original Shadow Panther figure with mutant mask

 

I actually like him better, I don't like the animation (Black Tigertron face) look to Ravage, but I do like his updated transformation a lot. Non show, for the win!

 

shadow panther and ravage are separate characters

 

That's true, but I can only choose one cool black remold unfortunately. Decepticons forever.
...did I do it, did I get the BW brownie points?

 

Hopefully that's not the same rubbish yellow as on Cheetor.

 

Really there is no reason now to have them as the reveals for Pulsecon. So give us something else, Hasbro!

 

I considered buying this to grow my Predacon army, but then I remembered how utterly average Cheetor was. Not even his new head will get me to buy him. Why did they choose this guy over Polar Claw again? 

 

It does look good. I wasn’t sure if I liked how the Kingdom toy only had the mutant head when I saw his artwork, but now that I’ve seen it in three dimensions, I’ve warmed up to it slightly. His head is weird, creepy, and has an utterly alien feel to it that TFs don’t always have. I think I might get this. I’m a sucker for weird-looking stuff and Japanese TF homages. All I need is a pic of the panther mode to help me decide how much I want it.

 

Yeeeeessssss.

~L~

 

That's not how reveals work, leaks don't factor into Hasbro's plans.

 

I'm just saying they is really no big surprises anymore.

 

It’s also worth noting the stuff that doesn’t get leaked or revealed officially, but shows up on store shelves with no fanfare whatsoever. *looks at some of the Cyberverse toys and everything from Buzzworthy Bumblebee except Origin Bumblebee*

 

That's the problem with the internet. If you don't want to get spoiled, don't go into threads that have leaks.

 

surprised it's using a mutant head.

 

Definitely prefer the non mutant head, but that goes for most BW for me.

 

They chose him over Polar Claw? Is Polar Claw not happening now or just delayed for a while?
