Fellow Seibertronians, yours truly has discovered some exciting news regarding the Transformers Cyberverse Spark Armor figures. Some time ago, the show's Season 2 trailer featured the return of a long time favorite, the Beast Wars Maximal, Cheetor.

Naturally, the Maximal is getting a new toy to go with the new show. Thanks to In Demad Toys, we’ve got some images of this new version of Cheetor. Cheetor transforms from a rather nice looking robotic cheetah into a robot stylized after his Beast Wars appearance, and apparently transforms without any faux parts. As part of the Spark Armor lineup, he too comes with his own Battle Armor, his being a retooled version of Bumblebee’s Spark Armor.

We have mirrored the images for your convenience:

What do you think? Will he be worth getting, or will he be a skip for you? Tell us in the discussion below

Its a nice feeling to see a Cheetor toy at retail again.

Take that first picture of him in bot mode wearing the armor.

Now step back several feet and glance at it. Just a glance.

You just saw Clocker

Totally!

Doesn't someone else come with the same armor/battleship? Bumblebee?
Or does it just look similar?

Agree that it's neat to see Cheetor show up again.

Edit: Jumped back a page because I swore we'd just seen Bee, and yes looks like they share their armor up companion.

Is this the first we've seen of different figs sharing a armor friend?

Yes! Now I can get the four armed battleship look without having to buy another fucking Bumblebee!

I know, really happy about this. Also it means armors may be interchanged. That is a pretty big deal for me.

Oh yes, that cheetor looks good. These figures from spark armor line up seems to be a major step up from previus cyberverse toys. If these are deluxe sized, i'd grab a few.

Indeed, as I stated in the article, Cheetor's armor is a retool of Bumblebee's. It appears at least the head is different, besides the redecoed colors.

From everything this line shows us, a mainline cheetor wouldnt look any better.

that's a pretty good looking Cheetor! I'm happy with what I'm seeing, I'll get him

Not gonna lie, that Cheetor look pretty damn awesome! :shock:

In BOTH modes!

I seriously begin to think that the real draw of the Cyberverse line will be the Armor figures.

Posted by Skritz on May 29th, 2019 @ 5:53pm CDT

The fact we're seeing Cheetor in Cyberverse show and toyline, just like how Animated has their version of Waspinator makes me so damn happy. Beast Wars may not be as referenced and homaged as G1 (and to a lesser extent nowadays, movie-verse) but man...WHOO! It's still kicking twenty years later! :APPLAUSE:

I am not a fan of this simplified transformation, it also makes him not show accurate by having the front cheetah legs simply become the robot arms.

Cheetor's only good toy was his Transmetal 1 toy and I think the main reason is that Transmetal designs were incredibly toy accurate in the show. I'm a huge BW fan but I'll be first to admit that BW-styled organic altmodes are a total bitch to do in toy form due to kibble.

His deluxe Beast Machines and MP were pretty good too.

I didn't put in Masterpiece because its redundant to say a character has 'a good Masterpiece'. They're on several levels than a mass retail figure. :lol:

Agreed. the Transmetal toy is so much fun. It's hard to get his original body justice

Well, now I'm just curious enough as to whether all Spark Armors will be interchangeable within their given size class that I'll be buying a few more than just big ol' Op and the Ark.

Each new subsection of Cyberverse somehow manages to get it's hollow, non-articulated foot in the door.

Cheetor's armor head looks like a cross between himself and Depth Charge, I like it! ;)^

I'm also enjoying the dichotomy between the bots and their armor. A cat with battleship armor is about as contrasting as these get.

Repaint of the armor/vehicle is interesting to see early on and gets my hopes up for jet fires tank

I prefer the color of bees warship with it reminding me of a gobot? I had as a kid. Tho cheetor looks good it might pair better with prowl. It's a nice toy gimmick and hope it lasts just so that there is even more bizarre partnering and combinations.

Re: Transformers Cyberverse Armor Spark Cheetor Revealed (2023013)

When I think of a logical combat accessory for a cheetah-themed warrior, a battleship is just a natural fit.

For just a toy, maybe, but this is still not accurate to the show.

Not really. MP Shockwave, for instance is only above the mass retail toy that came out this year in terms of height and not much else. Plus there have been MP duds, like Roadrage, and the original Megatron.

But it looks better than a figure of this size more closely looking like the show model would. I am ok with the sacrifice of the front legs position considering it gives us a much better toy potentially

Still i wonder what mm ports his fists have. I hope he is compatible with 5mm weapon handles.

Is is anyone else getting a Tidal Wave vibe from that boat with him?

Didn't they use Clocker as the base for a SDCC version of Cheetor, pre-beast form.

Yep.

BotCon 2006 exclusive. I think it looks cool, and I love the Clocker mold as well.

Don't you remember beast wars Cheetor. He's the one who technically started the war because he disobeyed optimus to stand down and shot Megatron in the face after he fixed his jammed quasar gun? I thought that would mean most versions of Cheetors aren't very responsible with weapons?

I did but maybe i wasnt expecting much of a change for such a old character who hasnt been used in the cartoons since Beast Machines ended.

Did you know Michael’s sells Transformers? Neither did we. Regardless they are currently advertising new Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Class Seismic Stomping Grimlock, and Optimus Prime on clearance for only $19.97! If the regular price tag of $42.00 was off putting it will be hard to deny a sale this tempting, especially if you note the current banner stating there’s 40% off all regular price items in your online or buy online pick up in store order for orders over $49.00 valid through tomorrow June 4th. We also have new images of the smaller size classed Cyberverse one-step changers such as Shockwave, and Skybyte from bbcw.com as well as new images of the upcoming Spark Armor Chopper Cut Megatron,

That spark armor Megs on one hand looks cool because it looks like a vague homage to his G2 Bomber toy, on the other hand the altmode leaves a LOT to be desired.

The listing says online only. Also, nowhere in the listing does it say Ultimate Class Grimlock, it just says ultimate class figures and shows three different options. There's no doubt in my mind that you don't get to choose and you'll probably get Megs, Prime, or maybe Bumblebee.

So Cyberverse Spark Armor lets them enter a Shattered Glass dimension where Megatron and a drone combine into reverse-color-Battletrap, and Meg's crotch is super-prominent because it doesn't have strategically-placed alt-mode weapon kibble!

The more I see of this subline, the more I like it! It's like Power Core Combiners and RID Energon Armor merged to spawn a litter of the most bizarre mutations known to Cybertronian life!

Agreed his hands are obviously exposed and his crotch is left wide open.
Even movie 2009 ROTF megatron was a lot better since his limbs werent exposed despite being a cybertronian tank.
