Ton Ton has released his review of Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom deluxe Cheetor.
The review compares it to Rattrap, a core class figure (what you used to call Legends class) within the same line, as well as Masterpiece Cheetor. We see that they are going for a more realistic animal look rather than a cartoon model. Speaking of the comparison, the back legs in cheetah mode look even cleaner on this new version, at the cost of rather odd looking robot mode legs of course. Still, it's nice to know that the robot's feet have a place to mostly tuck into in cheetah mode. Below we included the review as well as screenshots. The Blackarachnia review should be next to stay tuned.

That's not bad, the rear cheetah legs look better than the early leak and the details look good. I like it.
Typically when person learns a language they pick up the accent of their teacher. A lot of places in Asia like Hong Kong and India were under British rule or influence at some point so they tend to have slightly more British accents than places that might have had a strong American presence like Vietnam (where Hasbro's factories are). But I think the factory workers simply know who to reach out to to buy their stuff without having to resort to eBay which leaves a trail. The reviewers can basically be anywhere in the world.

They all seem to have, to my American ears, an English accent. Are they expats living in Hong Kong or China or wherever the factories are?

Beast mode looks okay, as for robot mode, I like the head, back kibbles look from the front and the groin plate. Everything else is pretty bad. The way the cheetor head pegs in is kind of awkward looking even if it helps the Cheetor head not protrude as much in bot mode.
Shame Cyberverse didnt get a better Cheetor as it would probably have been a better alternative.

I was hoping for at least a gun or something. Whip tail is meh in my opinion. At least his shoulders are better than rat traps. I'm considering cheetor. Ol 'trap is a pass. Unless I find him on clearance just for his gun!

Not really impressed. Reminds me of the Bayformers; great alt mode, compromised bot mode. Looks ok from a distance, I suppose. Here's hoping the rest look better.

Still, I suppose it could be worse.

There seem to be a lot of complaints about Cheetor. I would have thought Beast Wars fans would be ecstatic for this. I never got into BW, but even I am impressed by this figure. Perhaps these are geared more toward G1 fans, like myself, to expand the BW fan base. Beast mode - realistic, yet well-articulated. Robot mode - badass and super posable. I guess since G1 and BW are sharing a line, they should share a similar esthetic.
If BW doesn't do well, Hasbro can always sideline them again.

I'm really surprised by the reaction here, I think this looks incredible. I don't want to become a Beast Wars completitionist, but everything I've seen so far shows they're really trying to do a proper Generations line that splits the difference between show and toy designs. I'm impressed that the cheetah head is appropriately positioned in both modes and they didn't go with a faux chest or flat head like in Cyberverse. Sometimes I just don't get what else people want.

It's WAY better than Universe Cheetor. I think it's pretty good all things considered.
I dunno if I'll get the Beast Wars guys. I might. At least this one looks good.

While I personally can't speak for anyone else, For starters I'd would've liked the tail to be articulated, It wouldn't take much, Just a couple of small joints (Maybe even bendy plastic like T30 Rattrap).
Also, I don't like how the kibble above the shoulders is sharply curved , It highlights the hollowness of the panel,
Making it look like a shellformer (I know this is a element of Cheetor's design, I just wish it was more flattened, Like the MP).
They're only small nitpicks, And other than that I don't really have any complaints, Certainly none that'll stop me from buying him.

They’re certainly good looking and I’m all for them, just can’t wait to see them when they’re actually announced and revealed in full. 
Believe it or not, more people in Asian countries know English than you’d think. I learned that one when I was deployed to Korea, I could hold a small conversation with most Koreans when I was there. But then again it could’ve just been region specific.

Well, I'm sold. Pretty much the same as the Cyberverse Cheetor but with better articulation. I'm still eagerly awaiting some images of Airazor, I've been wanting an update of her for a long time.
On another note, have there been any rumors of a Tarantulas figure? If there is one, it'd have to be either a new mold or very extensive retool of Blackarachnia. They can't get away with doing the same mold with two different color schemes this time like they did with the originals (though it'd be cool to see that as a Selects release like Cordon and Spinout).

cheetor here is a vast improvement from his previous generations version, but he is far from perfect. it seems that cheetor really cant catch a break, as his figures including his masterpiece version have all kinds of issues. (looking at mine with his disintegrating joints and hole-y beast mode) still for a main line figure its not bad, though I feel like he needed maybe just a smattering of gold paint. the yellow here washes out the details. One thing I find neat though, is that his tail weapon isnt the only thing taken from his transmetal version. his face sculpt really (imho) looks more like his transmetal on screen face then his v1 face. the thing I do love about this guy though is the thing I loved about rattrap, which is the attempt to make the beast mode as accurate to a real cheetah as possible. dig that one.

Yeah, digging cheetor there. I like his proportion. The accidental butterfly joint due to transformation is a welcome. No giant tumor caused by uselessly feeble gimmick, yay. Only nktpick i have is that he don't get a gun. But eh, shockwave lab or someone else most likely will take care of that in due time. Overall, definitely getting him.

This is what I'm hoping for, because the deco is my main problem with this Cheetor. Hopefully the Netflix Cheetor will use a darker blue and will add some gold paint on his arms and maybe his thighs.
My only other issue with Cheetor is how his shoulders sit a bit farther back on his body than normal, other than that he looks great. It even improves on the MP in some ways, like using the actual cheetah head in robot mode and basically the entire beast mode. That glorious cheetah mode...
Super excited for the Blackarachnia review.

I also really appreciate that Hasbro and Takara Tomy are going for more realistic looking animal modes for Kingdom. They look much cooler that way, and probably more appealing to more casual fans on store shelves. The CGI models from the original cartoon look, well...cartoonish. It's a different style, but it can be off putting if didn't grow up with the original cartoon.
It shouldn't be that odd to anyone that Hasbro and Takara Tomy went this route with the beasts either. They essentially have done the same with the vehicle/machine based Transformers in this line too. That's why we've got a licensed VW mode for the upcoming Netflix Bumblebee and not a squat little penny-racer version like the original toy and cartoon model. Same goes for Cliffjumper being a proper sports car, not a super-deformed, squat little toy car. We've got realistic vehicle modes and (relatively) screen accurate robot modes with added sculpted detail to make them feel more "alive" and less cartoonish.
I concur. I'd rather Kingdom Cheetor have had a little more paint detail, especially the gold highlights. A bit more blue, of the right hue, would also do. Here's hoping the Netflix version will come through!

The mould itself isn't too bad, a huge improvement over the Universe 2.0 Cheetor for sure and I like the cheetah mode a lot, but I agree with many on here that the colours let it down. I don't like the flat light blue, and it would be great if the Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy Cheetor we're supposedly getting uses a darker shade of blue and perhaps some gold paint along the arms and thighs.

Ultra gear!
...Come on, someone had to say it.
Yes, I'd prefer a gun, but in the interest of keeping the cheetah mode from being too bulky, I can live with them omitting it, and the tail whip looks enough like his Transmetal weapon that I'm comfotrable saying "good enough". Plus I'm thrilled that they're returning to the "hidden weapon" style for the BW guys rather than the "just plug it on wherever" method we've seen for most G1-based figures since Combiner Wars. Peg holes would NOT look right on an organic beast mode.

On the topic of battle damaged Cheetor, what if it's limited to robot mode limbs and such? Cause in the cartoon, they would use the beast mode to "heal" minor damage when they were away from base

You just know that if not for the brand unification Takara would have so given her orange spider legs.

The black spider legs don't bother me as much as I thought they would. She really does look like a cheaper, smaller version of her masterpiece toy, it's awesome.
I'm not as thrilled with Cheetor, though. I feel he needs a bit more blue, like I'm sure I'd have liked him a lot more if that inner abdomen piece was blue. Not happy with the choice of weapon either. And the missing kibble on the arms, specially given how big that shoulder kibble ends up being.
Oh well, two excellent looking toys and one mediocre one out of three is still a very good outcome. Can't wait to see the rest of the cast and the official reveals.
By the way, I'm sure TonTon must be a factory worker who pockets some early samples. No idea about PrimevsPrime, since he's british, but he's got enough viewers that he might be buying them off some subscriber who steals from the factory too.

Some guy on youtube is saying the Titan Class is the Ark.

I'm not sure if it's 'news' or not, but there it is.

We have two pieces of Transformers WFC Kingdom news for you today. Firstly, Ton Ton's review of deluxe Blackarachnia came out. While some are equating this to a budget masterpiece, it can also look like your standard deluxe with your standard amount of paint and a beast mode that looks worse than the Masterpiece version. You'll let us know which way you gravitate when describing the figure.
We also have what could be our first glimpse at the Titan Class ark toy that will be released in the Kingdom line. We see it in ark mode and we see Teklatraan 1. The image comes from Marco Madrys.
We thank fellow seibertronians Wonko-the-sane, Sabrblade, Dominus Prime and Sol magnus for informing us of these two awesome pieces of news.

i think an ark would be cool but i think it would be hard to display on a shelf with the other figures
maybe hang it from the ceiling and also they should do the nemisis as well

In TonTon's review, it seems that Blackarachnia has a swappable(?) facemask:
based on the standard face of the Blackarachnia/Tarantulas mold that was never used in media, since the show gave Tarantulas the mutant head and made up a new head for Blackarachnia:

I hope the Ark can transform. But dang it’s a bit of a let down compared to other titans so far

Black Arachnia looks incredible. I especially like the mutant mask (and hope it stays for the final figure).
Conversely, the Ark will need to be INCREDIBLE for me to get it. At this poiint I've accepted that it won't be Animated Omega, so hey, at least the $150 that would have gone to the titan can go to the Beast Warriors
