The '''leader Neanderthal''' is mainly concerned with the defence and well-being of his small tribe. Though not keen on these new mechanical beings who've started turning up recently, he at least recognises that the [[Maximal]]s are on his side, since [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] saved his life and the lives of his tribe.

[[Chak]] and [[Una]] may be his offspring.

The leader and another protohuman were attacked by a snake and unable to defend themselves. That night, the Predacons mounted an attack on the valley in which the protohumans dwelt, in the hope of altering the course of future history. When Dinobot intervened and defeated the Predacon troops, [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] took the anthropoid leader hostage. The leader was witness to Dinobot fighting back, using an improvised club to attack Megatron, allowing the protohuman to escape. Later, the Neanderthal leader found the club and was elated by the revelation that it made a handy defense against snakes. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}

Following the valley's devastation, the protohumans scattered. The leader was travelling with Chak, Una, and two other protohumans when they were attacked by a [[cyber raptor]]. The leader tried to distract it while the others escaped, but quickly realised he was no match for it and fled. He later found Chak and Una, who'd gone missing, with some Maximals who were at the mercy of a group of cyber raptors. The leader attacked one of the raptors, destroying its control pack and sending it crazy. With the defeat of the Predacons and their raptors, the Maximals returned the two youngsters to the leader Neanderthal. {{storylink|Cutting Edge}}

The protohumans were able to find a new place to settle in some caves. Even then, they were not safe, as the leader Neantherthal spotted the approach of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]]. The protohumans scrambled to defend their new home against the Predacons. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} Though the other protohumans were driven off, their leader confronted the two invaders. As Inferno took aim, the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' appeared overhead. Despite [[Dinobot II|Dinobot]]'s protests, Megatron insisted on firing the ship's [[fusion cannon]] on the "lone anthropoid". The leader ducked for cover, leaving Inferno and Quickstrike to be destroyed by the ship's cannon.

The protohumans later made Waspinator their leader. Go figure. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}

===''Beast Machines'' cartoon===
The leader Neanderthal got tired of Waspinator flicking stones at his head while he tried to work. The protohumans subsequently chased the Predacon down and used a catapult to fling him away. {{storylink|The Catalyst}}

==Notes==
* The designation "Leader Neanderthal" originates from the scripts. As noted [[protohuman#Notes|elsewhere]], the protohumans are specifically intended to be the ancestors of humans, unlike actual Neanderthal.
