Oh now that is gorgeous. Cheetor was a dick in the cartoon, and he annoys me because he paved the way for Bumblebee's slide into becoming a jock-like asshole (although Prime did do a pretty good job of reversing that a little). But...
It's Beast Wars. And that sculpt and that deco is making me all tingly and wanting to sit down and re-watch Beast Wars right now. For a character that's not my favourite, I'm having quite an extreme reaction to this.
I think someone must have slipped something in my Earl Grey.

That is beautiful. This and Primal can't possibly be being designed by the same person doing the others.

I dont know about that. These are 100% cartoon accurate. Isn't that exactly what the designer on the other guys has been trying to do? Beast ars just has nicer animation models.
But yeah these look significantly better than anything MP G1 since Bluestreak.

I do think they're a different designer. It isn't just that BW had nicer animation models, it's that these look more on par with actual Masterpieces. They look like they belong with either MP Optimus, and the first Starscream. Save for Soundwave, everything post MP 10 has been "nice expensive toy," but nowhere near deserving of being called a Masterpiece.
These are actually detailed. They actually have nice looking decos. They're actually intricate in their design. And they also actually use toy details as well as animation model details (which seems taboo to whoever does they horrid autobot cars)

You can't really see too much on the photos that I've seen - would have been better if both where coloured. But with seeing the diffrent beast mode faces, it looks like the best face in robot mode is a fake face - but is it viewable from under beast mode or does it get covered up if on top by the shoulder panels? You could spot that if beast mode wasn't grey.

Can't see the pictures! Followed that link to 'amiami', and it's just figures of half naked young women again! What is it with you and these figures, Big Phil?!

Doesn't work on my phone, which has a teeny tiny brain. I'll try it on the PC tomorrow.
I bet there'll be more Lady figures....

This is the Cheetor toy my brain remembers from back in the day! Even though I know it is nothing like this!

Suspiciously cheap! Makes me think they'll be a catch. Will he be a to-scale cat?

The description says the robot mode is seven inches, which is pretty tall for that price.
Edit: actually, with all the exchange rate changes and Inferno coming in at over a hundred, that really is very cheap for a seven inch figure.

Not upset about a release delay, free's up funds for all the legends!

Yeah, the delay's good for me, also. Gives me more time to appreciate Ginrai and Combobob.
