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

    From a_3tom on twitter. Now just make Dinobot's chest this clean



    From portarmy on twitter. 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.

    While I wasn't excited with Primal at the prototype stage (won over with the coloured shots), Cheetor is amazing!

    Bravo to the designer(s)!
