Title:
Cheetor Supreme 3rd Beast Mode
Description:
Cheetor (Supreme, 2000)
Accessories: Tail-sword, 2 missiles
One of the largest Transformers toys, nearly as tall as Fortress Maximus in robot mode, Supreme Cheetor was heavily hyped as an "ultimate” toy. Aside from having the most show-accurate sculpting of any Beast Machines Cheetor toy, he features electronic lights and sounds in both modes, articulated jaws on both his beast and robot mode heads, and raising "hackles” on his beast mode back. Each arm contains a gimmick as well. His left arm has a geared up-and-down "slashing” movement, with extending fingers (yes, fingers) that can spring out of his hand. His right arm contains a spring-loaded twin missile launcher that fires two missiles out of his palm when the arm is pulled back at the elbow. Disappointingly for such a large and well hyped figure, these gimmicks sharply limit his arm articulation. Even with his wide and rubber-padded feet, like Mega Cheetor he has balance issues in robot mode thanks to his top-heavy construction and oddly jointed legs. His teeth-clenched grin in robot mode is also somewhat off-putting.This toy was an ultimately inauspicious start for the Supreme price point. It shelfwarmed pretty badly and ended up in blowout sales at online retailers discounted more than 75% off its original price tag.
