Laser Cheetah (Qiji 41213)

About this set

This KEEPPLEY 41213 Laser Cheetah sits in the Ultra Transform series and rates 2/5 for difficulty, so it is a friendly first mech build. The box labels it "机兽魔方 雄主兽" and also carries the Mantа name, placing it in the mech brick category. Parts come in yellow, grey and black: grey and black handle the frame and joints while yellow forms most of the outer armour, giving the finished mechanical beast a bright look. The main selling point is 4-in-1 transformation, so you build the Thunder Cheetah in beast form first and then shift it through its other configurations. When building, sort the torso and limb connectors by bag before you start, since the transformation joints live there and a reversed piece means a tear-down later; pair up the symmetric torso parts first as well. At 2/5 the part count is small and one afternoon covers it, making this a good pick for younger builders and newcomers who want transforming mechs without a long, fiddly build.
