Go To

"It's that time again, 8000 subscribers means another toy of the Worst 5 is revealed. Turns out Beast Wars was such a successful line, Hasbro decided it was time to try large scale toys again. Introducing Supreme-class Cheetor, the toy that was supposed to be the size of a house cat, loaded with incredible gimmicks, and the answer to the lacking show accuracy of the Beast Machines line... well, they got the size right at least."

Release: August 16, 2011


Tropes

  • Awesome, yet Impractical: TJ notes that one of the things that kills Cheetor is how many gimmicks the designers decided to randomly throw into him, which not only contributes to his inaccuracy to the show, but cripples both his arms completely and makes him so unbelievably top heavy that he's nigh impossible to actually pose when combined with his over jointed legs.
  • Bigger Is Better: Inverted. Outside of living up to its promised size, TJ states Supreme Cheetor is incredibly lackluster for a $50 toy, claiming the Mega class figure (which wasn't exactly good itself) did better overall.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: At the time of his "Worst 5" arc, in an effort to keep each reveal a surprise, the video title only addressed the figure as "3rd Worst" and the icon did not feature cropped stock photo like the regular episodes do. With the release of this episode, the identity of the "4th Worst" was revealed in the title.
  • Nightmare Face: TJ's opinion of Cheetor's robot mode head. Especially when the green eyed gimmick is used.
    TJ: He looks like he's about to eat my children if I had any!
  • Show Accuracy/Toy Accuracy: In-Universe. TJ points out that the Beast Machines line was notoriously inaccurate and the Supreme Class Cheetor was supposed to address this...and fails miserably despite being as accurate as the toyline ever got.
