Articulation

[kup]

As I recall, only a few Beast modes are unarticulated like Rhinox, Cheetor/Tigatron' and Rattrap's.

In honesty we've not gone forwards that much since the Transmetal and fuzor era - look at the beasts we've gotten recently and the only one with decent articulation is Ravage (and he doesn't even have a bot mode!)

Other recent beasts are Grimlock (classics and animated), Snarl and Swoop (animated), Snarl/Darkwolf (or whatever his name was, Cybertron), and Skorponok haven't been that articulated at all.

Considering he had no proper alt mode ROTF Ravage has sub par articulation in my mind, I hate the way he can't turn his head because of his silly gimmick.

IMO the new Universe Cheetor mold is inferior to the original. Its heavily compromised by its roar eye changing gimmick despite having more articulation in the legs. It also looks deformed due to the shape of the back that the gimmick forces.

The Henkei version is a huge improvement when it comes to aesthetics (and correct official transformation in the feet) but the mold design is still crap.

That toy does not show 10+years of design progression.

Ugh Universe Cheetor... I bought it, transformed it once, and put it on the shelf. I think they tried to do too much by homaging both his look in BM (slinky sleek thin elegant insert adjective here cybernetic cheetah) and BW at the same time (he was always more bulky in BW, and used actual guns and not Animated Prowls ninjas stars)
