:''Cheetor is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]]''

There's nothing '''Cheetor''' loves more than chasing down [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] at incredibly high speeds. However, when caught up in the thrill of the chase, he tends to ignore his surroundings; street signs, traffic, and any unfortunate [[Autobot]] who gets in his way is bound to be ran right over! Because of this, the Precinct tends to keep rotating Cheetor from partner to partner; no 'bot in their right mind would want this turbo-revving young punk on their backs!

He's presumably popular at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], since the bar has a picture of him on its menu.

A button on his hood deploys an energy saw weapon which can double as a shield or clip onto his back in robot mode. Due to his leg design, the very middle of Cheetor's rear wheels are the only parts that roll, while the sides do not. These parts stick out a hair, though, so his mobility in vehicle mode is unhindered.

:His feet can swivel and have ball-jointed toes and heels, which lets him easily pull off running poses, if you can see him doing that sort of thing.

[[Image:Animated cheetor by forster.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Nobody wants to be Peter Criss not even Petre Criss]]

* Cheetor is a veritable hoop of homages! Obviously, he's based on ''[[Transtech]]'' [[Cheetor (TransTech)| Cheetor]], who was going to be an upgraded version of the original [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]. However, after Transtech was scrapped, [[Fun Publications]] did a ''[[TransTech]]'' storyline featuring a [[Cheetor (TransTech)|DIFFERENT Cheetor]]. In the meantime, Transtech Cheetor's design was an inspiration for [[Blurr (Animated)|Animated Blurr]], who he's a retool of. Finally, his colors are based on the ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' version of Cheetor. Phew!

* Not unlike [[Chromia (Animated)|Chromia]], Cheetor first materialized in multiple different, unrelated sources almost simultaneously, by sheer coincidence. In the last week of June 2010, Fun Publications announced at [[BotCon 2010]] their intention to release a Cheetor figure that would be a repaint of ''Animated'' Blurr. Mere days later, ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' was released, containing an illustration of Cheetor that [[Bill Forster]] had created independently of Fun Publications' figure, which was ''also'' based on Blurr. As Forster's illustration was merely of Cheetor's head, it is basically a "repaint" of Blurr's own noggin so the connection would be recognizable, with two "ear" protrusions instead of Blurr's central fin, cheetah spots, and cat-like "face paint" based on KISS drummer Peter Criss's stage make-up. ''Fun Publications'''s version of Cheetor, on the other hand, received an entirely new head designed by [[Derrick J. Wyatt]].

'''Silverbolt''' is a brave Autobot. Who else would command the [[Aerialbot (Prime)|Aerialbot]]s despite his fear of heights? He cares more for his friends than himself, and as a true believer in the Autobot cause, he would gladly sacrifice himself to protect them.

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (360/PS3/PC)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Patrick Seitz]] (English)
During the decepticon assault on Iacon Silverbolt and [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] tried to stop [[Starscream (Prime)|Stascream]] from getting to The [[Decagon]], but sustained heavy damage as a result. As Cybertron was dying, [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] ordered an evacuation of all Autobot cities. However, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] had refitted the station producing [[Dark Energon]] with a colossal weapon that blasted the ships holding the Autobots who defied him by escaping. Prime sent for Silverbolt, Jetfire and [[Air Raid (Prime)|Air Raid]] to lead the Aerialbots in an assault to take Megatron's battle station offline. After getting into the relay station, and disabling the safety locks, the Autobots managed to find the coolant room, where Silverbolt suggested blasting everything. Shooting through wave after wave of Decepticons, Air Raid admitted he had wanted to be the Aerialbot commander, but was impressed with his leader not entirely sucking at the job--especially for a guy who was afraid of flying. Silverbolt was not amused.

The Autobots then destroyed the station's coolant pump, and Silverbolt ordered the squad to navigate towards the control room, showing utter devotion to the task at hand. In the room, the controls were blocked off and Megatron projected an image of himself, taunting the Autobots, Jetfire in particular. Silverbolt was surprised that they knew each other, and after a war of words, Megatron sent in his Decepticon troops. Though the Autobots were outnumbered, Silverbolt swore he'd fight to his last spark, and the opposition was no match. Silverbolt then flushed the coolant tanks and the Autobots tore off through the now-empty tunnels, which were starting to come apart. After overhearing a Decepticon commander talk about Megatron's plans for Trypticon, Silverbolt's squad destroyed his troops and flew to the nerve centre, where they deactivated the beam's pulse regulator. After stalling waves of Decepticons, the plasma within the regulator reached 110% and blew sky-high.

However, Megatron had backup systems, and sent more Decepticons. Silverbolt decided that his team could still blow the weapon up from the inside, and the team flew inside to the energy conduit, where Optimus contacted him, telling him to disable the gun immediately, as the damage from the cannon was becoming catastrophic. Silverbolt had no clear plan, but still swore to do what he could prevent the Autobot deaths. Then...the gun taunted the Autobots, revealing its true identity as a Cybertronian, [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]. As they dispatched the Decepticons and flew in further, the situation became more and more dire, and Air Raid suggested the destruction of Trypticon's [[conversion cog]], changing him to his original mode. Jetfire was skeptical, but Silverbolt encouraged the idea, as anything was better than a gigantic talking space gun. They managed to destroy the cog before it Trypticon could unleash a full-power blast at Optimus Prime's position, and Trypticon was forced into his beastly robot mode, falling towards Cybertron. Silverbolt ordered the team to destroy Trypticon's jetpacks, and when they were eliminated, allowed gravity to do the rest.

Sure enough, Trypticon crashed on Cybertron, and Optimus, [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] went to investigate. Silverbolt told Optimus he and the others were en route, and even gave them advice on how to defeat Trypticon. Optimus's group took Silverbolt's advice, and just after damaging his weapon systems, Silverbolt's squad arrived and tried to help out, but all three flying Autobots were swatted aside by the beast.

Silverbolt and his teammates survived, however, and got better in time to witness Optimus's post-victory speech, staying on Cybertron continuing the fight against Megatron. They would be among the future crew members of the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'' when the Autobots' time came to leave their home. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===
:''Voice actor:'' Patrick Seitz (English)
As the Decepticons attempted to restart the [[Energon Bridge]], Silverbolt set a group of Autobot fighters on them and used Energon dampeners to disrupt the flow of power. Though the Decepticons quickly destroyed the dampeners, they were forced to attempt to reroute the Energon through a back-up link. Silverbolt confronted them at the back-up controls. He proved unable to stop them, and they successfully reactivated the bridge. Silverbolt had still bought the rest of the Autobots time, and the Decepticons discovered that they had used the [[Omega Key]] to sever the connection to Cybertron's core, limiting the power flow.

*In the DS version of ''War for Cybertron'', Silverbolt is a playable character, unlocked by going to Options on the start menu and then Code Input. The code is 10141.

:''Fliers are a body-type in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron|War for Cybertron]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

A '''Flier''' was a soldier type employed by the [[Autobot]]s, [[Decepticon]]s, and [[Neutral]] forces, mostly during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. Fliers would swap between their Cybertronian jet [[alternate mode]] and their robot modes, where they would hover in the air. They were relatively weak but often attacked in groups to make up for it. A popular method of destroying them was to shoot their robot mode's foot thrusters, which would send a flier sailing, often into the nearest wall, before exploding. Decepticon fliers were nicknamed "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]" by Autobot infantry, while Autobot fliers were nicknamed "[[Aerialbot (Prime)|Aerialbots]]" by the Decepticons.

==Games==
===Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)===

Fliers were part of [[Starscream (Prime)| Starscream's]] neutral forces aboard the [[Trypticon (Prime)| Trypticon]] station. They were first encountered by [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron's]] unit as they admired [[Cybertron (planet)| Cybertron]] through a hole in the station wall. Although the first wave was easily taken care of, more fliers continued to harass the Decepticons as they made their way across the wreckage of the station to the [[Dark Energon]] storage facility.
