Shots of a Masterpiece Cheetor prototype have emerged online showing an accessory that was absent from his release. In the shots below, you will see a comm link that was originally made for the toy. It calls back to the long-range comm link that Rhinox made in Episode 3, "The Web". The smaller one is for Cheetor's robot mode arm, and the fatter one is for Cheetor's Beast Mode foreleg. Thanks to Sabrblade for informing us of these images that were posted by STFU and Primal Sabbath on TFW2005.

new thats what that slot in his arm was for. optimus has a similar slot in his forearm, which im sure is for the scanner he had when megatron asked for a truce near the end of season 1. probably cancelled for similar reasons.

So.... anyone interested in seeing a coin for MP Cheetor that TakaraTomy never showed us?

How confident are you that that is real? I really want to news it, but the non-authentic bug has bitten me and I am a bit bitter and hesitant right now. I know the figure came with a diecast Optimus Primal option in place of a coin, but I can't find a single peep about a coin anywhere else either

Would love to see the packaging that the coin came in! Any chance you can share pictures of that so we can news this?

.... personally I'm 100% sure it's legit because I trust my source. And seriously, who would fabricate a brand new coin?

And all I got is the coin. No packaging

The coin would come from Hasbro Asia though, no? Takra Tomy doesnt issue coins.

That is correct. All of the coins come from Hasbro Asia, not Takara Tomy.

Good news for those that missed it last time – MP 34 Cheetor is back up for pre-orders at Big Bad Toy Store, due in stock in April 2019. Which gives a release date at a similar time as the now delayed Beast Wars Megatron. Cheetor sold out quickly before, so this is an excellent opportunity to catch up with the Masterpiece Beast Wars line.

BigBadToyStore.com wrote:This articulated Transformers Masterpiece MP-34 figure includes 4 different faces, 2 weapons, 2 leg pieces, and is beautifully colored as he is in the series.

Fans and collectors alike will love this anticipated fun-colored bot that can transform into a cheetah in a few steps.

No news from other online retailers yet, but we will keep you updated when more information comes in, so keep your optics peeled for those pre-orders!

Pre-ordered, together with Dinobot. Optimus Primal is finally gonna get some company on its shelf, just in time to face the upcoming arrival of its arch nemesis.

Hang on there, they may actually be on right:

Specifically the hip twist is easily missed.

Yes, most people reported backwards feet at first (me too) but thats because many missed a crucial step in the transformation.

Lol thank you so much that’s why I love this community I’m so glad my first my beast wars wasn’t a mistake. Everything’s perfect just a heads up I don’t think his shoulders are different like shadow panther I think they’re the same as the initial run but everything is tight and locks in pretty good

Quick update has anyone noticed the black spots rub off after handling?? I’ve had him just a few weeks and I’m seeing spots disappear one after another one leaving the yellow underneath. I’m thinking maybe there should be a clear coat on top? I pre ordered mine from Amazon btw
