Makes sense. With Primal Rhinox, Rattrap and Waspinator taken care of, Cheetor Dinobot and Megatron are the obvious candiadates for MP/Generations updates. And Cheetors got at least 1 repaint option 2 including Ravage/Shadow whatever he was called.
And tarantulas, Im so taken with Botcon Tarantulas I forgot theres no modern Beast update.

Black Arachnia is almost covered by the Legends toy though she is probably a bit small compared to everyone else.

If true will there be that repaint option Phil always demands for Cheetor? Wait. Worry.

No Phil demands Night Slash Cheetor be repainted in proper Cheetor colours

That would make a fairly intricate MP wouldn't it? To fit in scale with the others he'd have to be, what, MP car size? Smaller than voyager Rhinox.

I own that toy. It's a travesty. Cheetor needs to be bright yellow with green clear plastic. That's gold, brown and red.

The MP cars are the same basic size as Gen Rhinox. Primal is bigger than them, and looks to be about the same size as the original Ultra. So it really depends on how Takara is playing it. If they're gonna use Rhinox, and Rattrap as stand in MPs, and only produce Cheetor and Dinobot. To put Cheetor in scale with MP Primal alone, then he'd need to be voyager scaled. So same as Rhinox and the MP cars. If they're taking in with the generations toys, then they'll make him a big larger than deluxe, to put him in between rhinox and rattrap.
Either way, the biggest mistake was not making Primal voyager scaled. Because otherwise Rhinox here throws everything to hell, which is exactly what's happening.

See, to me, a cheetor about that size can't be much more intricate than a Generations figure, so I'm not sure what the difference would be with an MP. All sounds odd.

MP Bumblebee is generations deluxe so they are capable of doing more in that size class than the standard retail toys. I'd guess a proper MP Cheetor though will be voyager height but not with the same bulk as Rhinox or MP cars.
Yes it leaves Rhinox a little smaller than cartoon scale but not nearly enough to bother me. Besides if MPBW is successful theres no reason to rule out a proper MP Rhinox.

I would much appreciate an MP Cheetor's beast mode to be at leadt as good as Universe Cheetor's. Just with the proper robot.

I'm not thinking so much about the size as the intricacy at that size. Bumblebee is a chunky little fella, Cheetor is a lithe cat. Apart from plastic quality I'd be interested to know how it could be significantly different to a Generations figure. Tis curious, but it would be awesome. Primal, Cheetor, Rhinox and Rattrap all roughly the right size would be great.

I own that toy. It's a travesty. Get out! *considers* Okay, this is your board. Maybe not. Either way, that's a great toy. As to MP Cheetor... I dunno. So much that could be interesting. And so much that could go horribly wrong. We'll see.

I won't dispute that the Nightslash mould is a great toy. See posts passim but especially tmukhub.proboards.com/post/31851/thread But the Universe colours are close enough to be annoying that they're not actually right. I've got some bright yellow prototype pictures somewhere that I'll dig out! That toy is Beast Machines Fox Kids Cheetor. And it's not my board!

And I would really like to see those prototype pictures. And it may not be your board, but I should know better than to anger the mods. ;-)

Hrm, for once I'm sceptical about a MP. I worry this is going to be panel city with butt flaps everywhere. The robot limbs are so much bigger than the animal limbs, so they wall probably fold up inside the cheetah.
If it does happen, what accessories do we think he may come with? Gun should integrate with animal, but doubt it will.

How can we possibly eat a burrito when we already had one earlier in the same week?

Scale wise, seeing as he was one of the few characters that became a normal sized animal, it's a shame MP Cheetor didn't come first. That way they could scale him with the MP Autobot cars (as in roughly the size of a real Cheetah to a real car) and then base every one else from his scale. Not sure how small that would make him, but it would be interesting.
