It was actually a joke on the original BM line, where for some reason Nightscream and Jetstorm were given huge figures with electronic lights, projectiles, so-called 'third' modes (Jetstorm hover-bot, and Nightscream turned into some sort of swingset crawler thing), etc. I figured nowadays to keep the insanity you'd have to up the size class to get the features in.

I saw two in a comic shop a few years ago. I didn't have the cash for one at the time, and the next time I checked they were both gone.

Supreme Cheetor to this day remains the only Transformer I ever returned to the store. Same day. It just didn't work. Nothing held together, nothing triggered correctly. I actually gave up. I've never had that happen before or since.

It may just be I got a defective one. It was for the time a very complex setup of electronics and spring gimmicks for a Transformer.

Has anyone actually gotten it to stand up long enough to do a size comparison with Fortress Maximus or early Titans?
Armada Unicron was pretty big, too. It'd be nice to have a picture with several of the 'biggest for their time' (and other notable ones, like G1 Devastator, who is less impressive than the media would have you think) together.

Side-by-sides of toys ten or more years apart can be wild.

Your right, as a fellow bat lover: he shouldn't be any bigger then Commander Class. :p
That's exactly how tall the original Ultra class toy was. ;)

"Don't push it."

I want to say Supreme Cheetor was marketed as one of the largest/tallest TFs up to that point.
Kid in the commercial: "He's as huge as a cat! And even bigger as a robot!"

He was also terrible.

I still swear my local TRU still had one floating around right until the day they closed. The building's a market now, but I half expect to see Cheetor on top of a shelf somewhere every time I go in.

It took until 2026, but some finally sold!

I just think he’s really ugly.

I still have mine. 😁

I once stood mine next to Armada Unicron but with Cheetor's legs bent digitigrade in order to make him closer to Unicron's eye level, as Cheetor towered over him with his legs fully straightened out.

Armada Unicron isn't remotely the biggest thing in my collection anymore but it still seems big to me. It has presence.
