From TakaraTomy at Tokyo Toy Show! Finally a worthy Cheetor! Yesssss i really hope they can put out a BW Megatron that's as good as this.

Looks great! Some odd stuff at the back of the beast legs but a small concession for two good modes.

Well this is exciting.. I wonder how long we will have to wait for this beast

I am not a fan of bw but I have to say this piece looks better than primal.

Cheator's the one they left back on Cybertron because he keeps on peeking at other Maximals' test papers to copy their answers.

From portarmy on twitter. Seems like that dangly beast leg is the only concession they've made.

Seems like that dangly beast leg is the only concession they've made.

I wouldn't say that's a concession because it is screen accurate. The show model does also keep the front beast legs dangling from the back, same as the original toy (ah, the joys of having show models scanned direct from the figures ). The main difference is that the cartoon model crosses the legs over in an "X" shape, which the original toy can't do, but the MP evidently can. So they're being perfectly show-accurate by keeping the legs there and allowing them to articulate into an "X" shape.

Wow, wasn't expecting a prototype to show up so soon. He looks pretty good, and I suspect will look a lot better once he gets some paint - hopefully with the same "fur" texture style that Primal has. He looks too smooth here but so did the Primal prototype, and I was amazed at the paint job they gave him.
