The other changes make Takara's version closer to Cheetor's show appearance than the Hasbro version: green robot mode eyes (Hasbro's version has light blue), painted cheetah teeth (Hasbro's are unpainted), and the gray plastic is more blue-hued than the Hasbro version's semi-French-gray. The most immediately noticeable is that the "CHEETOR" tampograph on his beast mode was changed to "CYBERTRON" and the Maximal faction symbol. The Takara Beast Wars Metals release of the Transmetal Cheetor toy features a number of small but notable changes from the Hasbro version. The toy suffers from a design flaw where the breast plate's hinges that holds both arms up in beast mode suffers from a lot of stress, and, over time, can't hold up the cheetah head properly anymore. He also features an energon chip applied to the inside of the left wing. In robot mode, his removable tail becomes a spiked whip, but he has no ranged weaponry, though you can put his two-fingered hands together to simulate the "gun" he used on the show. In beast mode, two rocket boosters can be flipped out (and extended, which the cartoon failed to show) of the sides of the cat torso to create a "flight mode", plus his tail rotates 180 to provide a "stabilizer" fin.
