The ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' toyline was notable for introducing the [[Prime Master]] gimmick highlighting the titular "power of the [[Prime (rank)|Primes]]". Like the rest of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', each toy included a small packaged card based off the character; unlike its last predecessor, which used the classic [[Tech Spec]]s, the ''Power of the Primes'' toyline included one of twelve randomly packed cards for each toy, each highlighting the additional powers or personality changes that a Prime Master can impart on the character in question.

'''Cheetor is behaving oddly after the accident, and a new Transmetal 2 creature is stalking both camps.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Optimus Primal/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] checks on [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], who is napping after he collapsed in front of the [[Maximal]]s' current base, heavily damaged from the fight with the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. After making sure Cheetor's okay, Primal has a discussion with [[Rattrap]], mentioning that Cheetor has refused to use the [[CR chamber]]. Rattrap figures he wants to prove something, but Optimus is suspicious. He decides to discuss it with Cheetor in the morning, while Rattrap decides to take a little rat nap.

[[Image:Feral Scream 2 Cheetor mutate.jpg|left|200px|thumb|The [[JaAm]] proceeds to mutate Cheetor.]]
Cheetor doesn't sleep soundly, though. From the cat's chest, a strange appendage grows, and Cheetor has a nightmare of the other Maximals (sans Optimus Primal) wanting to see 'what makes him tick', and subsequently transforming him into an ugly, mutated monstrosity, to their disgust. Cheetor awakens, glad his dream was unreal, but finds himself caught in a green light expanding out of his spark.

Rattrap, awakened by the noise, heads to the lower level to see what's wrong. Before he reaches Cheetor's room, a large cat monster bursts out of it and knocks Rattrap over, then rushes away. Optimus Primal comes to help Rattrap, who (incorrectly) assumes that the big ugly monster has gotten Cheetor.

In the [[Darksyde|Predacon base]], [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] hears the roar of the roaming beast and checks the radar. He figures out that Cheetor has been upgraded, explaining who his nemesis from the most recent battle was. [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] is sent to capture the cat-bot.

[[Image:Feral Scream 2 Optimus mean.jpg|right|200px|thumb|See this? This is my unhappy face.]]
[[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] returns to the Maximals' base, having failed to locate Cheetor (and jealous of [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]'s concern for the feline). Having already surmised what is going on, Optimus Primal confronts [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]], and forces an account of the relevant events out of him. Depth Charge explains that Cheetor removed some device from the Predacon machine, but was caught in the overload. Depth Charge also says that he destroyed the [[Transmetal driver]].

[[Image:Feral Scream 2 Dinobot Waspinator.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Dinobot II and Waspinator watch a train go by.]]
Awakening in a cave, Cheetor finds himself back in his usual [[Transmetal]] form again, completely repaired, but with fragmented, disturbing memories of what happened the previous night. Later, [[Dinobot II|Dinobot]] and Waspinator find the cave, and after shredding Waspinator, Dinobot proceeds to hunt the Maximal. But inside the cave, he finds Cheetor has already left.

Optimus orders the Maximals to search for Cheetor in [[Grid Alpha Two]], but Cheetor shows up outside the Maximal base. He tries to explain that he's taken care of "the monster". Optimus Primal, being less gullible than Cheetor is clever, indicates he wants Cheetor to take him to the creature's remains. Away from the other Maximals, Primal and Cheetor talk, but before Cheetor can admit the truth, Primal's chest is fried by Dinobot.

[[Image:Feral Scream 2 Cheetor Waspinator.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Why are teenagers so freaking cocky?]]
The emotional stress of Cheetor's concern tears the cat back into his [[Transmetal 2]] form, and he easily blasts away Waspinator away. The two Transmetals 2 duel with each other, slashing each other in their beast modes. When Rattrap and Silverbolt arrive, Dinobot is smart enough to retreat.

Optimus reaches out to the feral Cheetor, coaxing him back to his senses. Back at the Maximal base, Cheetor tries to keep his cool while he flirts with Blackarachnia. Cheetor misinterprets her affection as something personal, when really she's more interested in his technology—and how she can [[Crossing the Rubicon|get some of it for herself]].

==Quotes==
"That meddling feline destroyed my machinery and improved himself in the process!" 
"Mmm, improved." [''pointedly looks at Dinobot'']
:—'''Megatron''' and '''Waspinator''' also discuss Cheetor.

"Any sign of our tabby?" 
"Oh, not so much as a whisker. Your...concern does you credit." 
"I'm full of surprises." [''winks'']
:—'''Blackarachnia''' and '''Silverbolt''' also discuss—oh, you know.

"You listen, hardhead. Cheetor's gone, and I think you know something, so you will talk, or I will rip out your core processor and extract the information personally!"
:—'''Optimus Primal''' gets scary-mad at Depth Charge.

"Wait! Need plan! Waspinator in charge!" 
"I ''am'' the plan."
:—'''Waspinator''' and '''Dinobot''', shortly before the former is shredded by the latter.

'''Cheetor:''' ''(Noticing Silverbolt and Rattrap looking at his new form)'' You lookin' at somethin'?! 
[''Silverbolt and Rattrap look at each other''] 
'''Rattrap:''' Oh, joy...cyber-puberty.
:—<s>Rebellious teen</s> Transmetal 2 Cheetor seems to have quite an attitude.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*During his fight with Cheetor, Dinobot's large plate that covers his beast-mode crotch seems to be moving and stretching together with his right leg.

===Continuity errors===
*The scratches that Cheetor inflicted on Megatron's chest plate in the previous episode have switched from his right side to his left side.

===Real-world references===
*In response to a threat from Dinobot II, Cheetor says, "I don't think so." While perhaps not an intentional reference, that was something of a catchphrase for Bob on [[Mainframe Entertainment]]'s ''ReBoot''. [[Ian James Corlett]] (Cheetor) voiced the character during its third and fourth seasons.
*There is a possible nod to the film ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' during Cheetor and Dinobot's fight. In the film velociraptors were said to be able to move at cheetah speeds. Apparently Cheetor felt that the scientific inaccuracy was an insult and thought he would prove the film makers wrong.

===Trivia===
*The contents of Cheetor's room:
** A photo of himself and Primal from the first season.
** A big trophy with a Predacon insignia on the base.
** A model of solar system with haphazardly-orbiting planets.
** What could possibly be a model of a [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian city]].
** A photo of Blackarachnia.
** A potted plant.
** Three spare tail-clubs.
** A miniature model of the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]''.
** A clock with a kind of holographic display to indicate the stages of a Solar cycle.
** A model Douglas DC-3.
*During Cheetor's nightmare, after Blackarachnia says "it's hideous," Rattrap makes motions as though he's going to puke.
*Megatron's observation that Cheetor is moving at Mach 2 seems a bit absurd. Yes, turning Transmetal 2 is portrayed as one heck of an upgrade and Cheetor has a rocket on his back, but a quadruped running at that speed is still fairly ridiculous.
*Waspinator was able to find Cheetor, while Silverbolt didn't. So Waspinator is a better tracker than Silverbolt? More likely, Megatron's scan of Cheetor's "moonlight stroll" narrowed the search zone, whereas the Maximals had no information about his trajectory.
*[[Cybertronix]]
**The text under Rattrap's monitors is mirrored at first, but doesn't say anything particularly notable.
**Unsurprisingly, the text which flashes briefly on Megatron's monitor when he asks for magnification says "MAGNIFY".
*Waspinator has a sling when he tells Dinobot to "stand aside, Waspinator will take kitty-bot to Megatron." Apparently his arm was hurt just a little bit worse than the rest of him when Dinobot turned him into confetti.
*Optimal Optimus does two distinctive ape-like things when he transforms to beast mode. Namely scratching and showing interest in a bunch of bananas.
*Cheetor is able to almost completely dominate Dinobot in their fight, despite Dinobot's ability to take down both Depth Charge and Optimus Primal with little effort. Whether this is beast instincts or Cheetor is just that much stronger in his new form can be speculated upon.

Dead End (WFC)

{{disambig3|Dead End}}
:''Dead End is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:WFCDeadEnd.jpg|250px|thumb|Four down, one to go.]]

[[Dark Energon]] can do strange and horrific things. Once a chatty hired thug, long-term exposure to the substance has left '''Dead End''' a silent, brooding shell of a bot with an insatiable hunger for power. While the [[Autobot]]s have always thought of him as rather freaky, his recent change in personality and behavior has made even his fellow Decepticons rather unnerved, with Dead End hiding in the darkness, eyeing his fellow comrades and their power cores as rich sources of energy, and ''waiting''.

==Games==

{{note|The chassis for Dead End, the Tracker [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]], was made available as a part of DLC #2 on [[September 7]], 2010. He was available for the XBox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, but not for the PC version. In addition, he can be played as himself in Escalation mode.}}
