Description:
Cheetor (Mega, 2000/2004)

Takara ID number: BR-02

Takara release date: 2004-11-18

Accessories: Tail-whip

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.
In robot mode, his head has the same feature; turning it left or right opens and closes his Muppet-like jaw. The "swiping"-action arm—now on his right side—is still available in this mode and can be used to swing his tail-whip around. Because of Cheetor’s unusual body proportions and very small feet, he has issues standing up properly in this mode, especially with his legs positioned in the proper cat-like digitigrade style.
In 2005, the Mega Cheetor toy was re-released as "Cheetus” as part of the Japanese Toys"R"Us exclusive Beast Wars Returns line. It does not appear that any significant changes were made to it. Reportedly, this item had a run of only 4000 pieces.
