    Major Edit: I had a good look at it (Before I only saw the first pic) and it is indeed a vast improvement. I can't deny that. The Bronzey bit looks distracting with a yellowed look to it but it could be flash based on this latest pics but the different shades on the leg is a big deterrent and very distracting. It brings the figure down considerably..

    Yep, I concede, I was wrong as there is a great improvement based on the orignal pics we saw but I still think it could be better so I will continue to play the waiting game to see what TakTom does with it and that will be the decider.

    I remember the storm surrounding Cheetor's eye colour. The blue eyed variant was in such demand, especially after Cheetor's released was held back from the very first wave of BW toys to the second... after the year drought of no Transformers at all, the held-back Cheetor had an almost mythical status for a while!

    Yeah, I remember the different eye variant Cheetors being listed separately on price guides with different prices for them. The blue eyed was the most expensive followed by the red eyed and the cheapest being the green eyed, which is the one I have! Doesn't bother me... IMO the green-eyed one looks the nicest, but I do enjoy looking at other people's variant Cheetors too.

    Yes, there's the grey plastic that will be changed to silver(with some extra paint), but otherwise I still think that they did a great job with that.
    Cheetor - I'm just not that big a fan of the design of the toy (saw the review by peaugh - the backpack that's part of the cheetah mode just doesn't work for me... So probably going to skip the Universe release

    I'm also reasonably satisfied with Cyclonus. I do like how Universe Cyclonus is going for the more G1 toy-accurate darker purple instead of the show-like lighter purple that Henkei Cyclonus has. The lack of chrome isn't really bothering me on this mould so I think I'll be going with the Universe version for this toy.

    I will have to see it in person as the plain 'Hasbro silver' on the wings looks cheap and awful in pics.
