Toys

Studio Series

Wakanda forever!

• Cheetor (Voyager Class, 2023)
  • Movie: Rise of the Beasts
  • Hasbro ID number: 98
  • TakaraTomy ID number: SS-108
  • Accessories: 2 spears, "Peruvian Jungle Discovery" backdrop

Released as part of the 19th wave of Studio Series Voyager Class figures, Cheetor transforms into a mechanical cheetah in 24 steps. The toy comes with two spear accessories that can be held separately, combine into a long staff, or store on his back.

Hasbro revealed the figure on January 24, 2023.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

We finally know how a cat would wear pants.

• Jungle Mission 3-pack: Cheetor, Nightbird, and Wheeljack (Multipack, 2023)
  • Accessories: Tail weapon, blaster

• Known designers: Tomoki Tatsumi (TakaraTomy)

Released in a Target-exclusive Buzzworthy Bumblebee Jungle Mission 3-pack, this Deluxe Class version of Cheetor converts into a mechanical cheetah. His transformation scheme is somewhat patterned on Kingdom Cheetor while his overall appearance is based on a non-final movie design, so his robot mode differs greatly from his Studio Series figure listed above. He is armed with a small blaster, which, in a nod to his original Beast Wars toy's "gut gun", stores in his cheetah mode abdomen, along with a bladed whip weapon formed from his beast mode tail. In an undocumented feature, the gun can store on Cheetor's robot mode back via a rectangular slot; however, no such storage exists for the tail weapon, which he's left to hold at all times.

His stock renders omit the tip of his tail that covers its blade in beast mode, though the hinge it attaches to is plainly visible. The renders also depict differences in deco from the final toy, such as blue shoulders and overall a more vibrant shade of blue than the duller shade used on the actual toy.

Cheetor comes packaged with Nightbird and Wheeljack.

• Cheetor (Beast Battle Masters, 2023)
  • TakaraTomy name: Kakusei Weapon Cheetor
  • TakaraTomy ID number: BW-01
  • TakaraTomy release date: April 15, 2023

• Known designers: Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy)

Battle Master Cheetor is a very small, slender cheetah cast in creamy yellow and silvery grey plastic. He converts into a triple claw weapon which can be held by or mounted on the forearm of a larger figure via a 5mm post. The paint on his yellow parts is fairly extensive, with black cheetah spots and silver musculature highlighted on all 4 legs, plus spots on his head and bright red eyes. However, he has none on his grey parts due to being cast in what appears to be unpaintable plastic. He has ball joints at the shoulders, hips, and front paws, the last of which are cast in silver grey. This allows for some small range of posing but is limited due to lacking knees or elbows.

Why would you give the cat a rubber band!?

• Cheetor (Flex Changers, 2023)

Released as part of the "Flex Changers" line for the Rise of the Beasts toyline, this Cheetor transforms from beast to robot with the use of a flexible plastic band.
