Product Information

Despite their differences, Cheetor and Dinobot grudgingly exchanged gifts on Chosen One Day. Choose Me Accessories: Three cheetah heads, three cheetah eyes, three robot faces, "Panther Eye" mutant head, "Shadow Mist" gut-gun, "Panther Shot" tail-gun, comlink (beast mode), comlink (robot mode)

Part of the first assortment of Beast Machines Megas, Cheetor transforms into a super-lean technorganic cheetah. In keeping with the early Beast Machines design trend of "articulated features", turning the beast mode head causes its jaw to open and close. His left foreleg has a gear-spring horizontal "swiping" action activated by pushing a section of the above shoulder-armor towards his body. Mainframe Entertainment's original plan for Transmetal Cheetor was to have his face mature over the course of the season, from a big-eared, wide-eyed, rounded face into one close to the toy. Also, he would have had a "Hero's Heart" which glowed after completing brave or heroic feats, somewhat akin to the classic anime character Astro Boy. Due to time and financial restrictions, none of these concepts panned out. As with all Transmetal 2 toys, he features a spark crystal, a small, clear-colored ball with a vacuum-metalized faction logo inside. Cheetor's spark is placed on his left hind leg. Cheetor figure comes with 2 blaster accessories and converts from cheetah to robot mode in 9 steps.Though most early artwork for Beast Machines character designs were very different from the final product, Cheetor's design seems to have changed very little, with only the green being downplayed in his color scheme. This toy, like most of the Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, is a Walmart exclusive in the U.S. and Canada. Like the rest of its Deluxe Class wave, Cheetor was found in Walmart stores on March 13 [7] before an official unveiling. Cheetor, in his Transmetal 2 body, was one of Optimus's many allies in a fight against Megatron's own army, in what might possibly have been an inter-universe battle.

The Megatron of Cheetor's native time and universe accidentally referred to Bumblebee as "Cheetor". Bee in the City A Change to the Agenda Fiction Rise of the Beasts film Voice actor: Tongayi Chirisa (English), Wataru Takagi (Japanese), Eko Fresh (German), Sylvain Agaësse (European French), Duda Ribeiro (Brazilian Portuguese), Carlos Monroy (Latin American Spanish) Most of the Maximals and Predacons believed that Cheetor had perished; he was posthumously honoured as the "First Resistor", the first proto-former who'd taken a stand against the tyrannical Builder regime. Derailment In reality, however, Cheetor had been captured and imprisoned within Fortress Maximus, where he remained for many years until Lio Convoy's forces eventually freed him and he was more than welcomed into their ranks as the "first resistor". Head Games Cheetor wanted nothing more than to march into the front lines, but Lio Convoy felt he served better as a propaganda hero, and over the next five years, he and Preditron were shuttled about the planet doing just that, hardly ever being told the reason for their going, just being sent where they were sent. Although he adopted a cybercat beast mode once the Maximals and Predacons adopted the Beast Upgrade, Cheetor figured he'd missed any chance to fight the good fight.In Japan, this toy was released as a JafCon convention exclusive, under the name of "Metals Cheetus Silver", along with the "Fox Kids" versions of Transmetal Airazor and Transmetal Rattrap.

Due to the temporal machinations of Ravage in Primax 785.06 Alpha, a quantum duplicate of the Autobot shuttle carrying the victorious Maximals home from the end of the Beast Wars in Primax 496.22 Alpha was spawned. The shuttle was shunted to Primax 903.0 Beta, where Unicron destroyed it, scattering its crew into transwarp space. Outlier Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/30 TransTech This vintage Beast Wars Cheetor figure is inspired by the original 1996 Beast Wars release. Figure features green eyes in the style of the 1997 toy release After reactivating in his new beast mode, Cheetor helped Nyx repair their damaged ship before the high-flying pilot took off to explore the planet with her new wings. Cheetor was upset by this, as it meant that he'd have to turn to the notoriously unhygenic Rattrap to reach into narrow components. Savage Landing Part 2 When night fell and Nyx still didn't return, Cheetor grew restless and considered striking out on his own to find her before Optimus shot down the idea. Savage Landing Part 3 While returning to their ship, the rogue Predacon Dinobot barred their way and challenged Optimus to a duel. Although Cheetor was keen to fight in Primal's place, Rattrap restrained him; when the other Predacons interrupted the fight, the battle revealed a huge energon crystal in a nearby mountain, and the Maximals rushed to claim the bounty before the Predacons could take it for themselves. High amounts of energon radiation forced both sides to fight in their beast modes, and although Cheetor fared better against Waspinator the second time round the energon was all destroyed. Beast Wars (Part 2)Part of a set of four Kabaya candy toys, this version of Cheetor, based on the original toy, is an unpainted and unassembled plastic kit that transforms (and partially re-assembles) from cheetah to robot mode, though much smaller (and cheaper) than the original toy. It is cast entirely in pale yellow and grayish-tan plastics, as are the other three toys in the set: Dinobot, Rattrap, and Terrorsaur. [2] This eccentricity didn't affect his effectiveness as a spy, however. Cloaking himself in shadows and in illusions created by his holographic emitter, he executed his missions with grace and precision. On the rare occasions when he encountered opposition, he used a neuro-weapon to paralyze his foes. His sole weakness, which he shared with his idol, was his optic sensors' inability to adjust to bright light. Beast Wars Sourcebook #3 Beast Wars: Uprising

Upon arriving on prehistoric Earth, the dangers of Energon radiation forced the Maximals and Predacons to take on beast alternate forms. "Cheetor" promptly grabbed a cheetah by its underbelly, hoisted it up to his optics, and scanned the creature's molecular structure. The indignant cheetah could do nothing but silently ask the robot "Do you mind?" Cheetor transformed into his new organic cheetah mode and darted into Predacon territory. Unfortunately, Cheetor was spotted by Tarantulas, and the two battled until they were forced to return to their beast modes to avoid Energon radiation damage. Beast Wars: Transformers video game advertising comic Beast Wars:Transformers video game The youthful 'bot who would become "Cheetor" was part of the Maximal exploration ship Axalon; Beast Wars (Part 1) unbeknownst to most members of the crew, its captain Optimus Primal had been secretly tasked with abandoning the murderous Protoform X far from Cybertronian space. Bad Spark However, the Axalon would be diverted off-course to pursue Megatron and a group of rogue Predacons, who'd stolen a golden disk and fled Cybertron aboard a transwarp-capable starship. This mold was also used to make Shadow Panther/ Tripredacus Agent and Tigatron. It was slated to be used for Universe Nightprowler, but that toy set was canceled. Accessories: 2 sets of alternate hands, 1 "tail blaster", 1 Energon crystal, 2 blast effect accessories

Takara released two different Cheetor toys; one that was the same as Hasbro's red-eyed version, and a running change version in January 1998 that not only has various color tweaks to make him slightly more show-colored (including dark green cheetah eyes, a gold head crest instead of blue, and red robot eyes), but also has a slight mold tweak to keep the beast head pointed forward in robot mode, based on Hasbro's initial release of Tigatron, which has been retained on all versions thereafter.
