[edit]Chak was a member of Homo Sapiens Circuitus, or the "circ'enhanced" branch of humanity in the 24th century. He served aboard the Spooky Action at a Distance with Una of the 'logicals and his captain, Blix, of the psychals. Their mandate was to patrol the borders of the Allowed Zone and ensure the Cybertronians remained contained from the rest of the universe. The Spooky went on yellow alert once word of Lio Convoy's uprising reached the Terran fleet. Despite the neg-spin Chak saw as the inevitability of all possible Cybertronian responses, the establishment of the Dinosaur City colony on Metascan Omega was a statistically improbable pos-outcome.

A few years into the Grand Uprising, the Spooky caught sight of the fabled Rosetta Stone on a Cybertronian broadcast. Arrogant in their abilities, Chak and Una went planetside to retrieve the lost piece of Earth history, unaware the dimensionally-displaced Monster GoBots were setting a trap for them. Only the intervention of several Cybertronians, guided by the Oracle, prevented the aliens from killing the Terrans, provoking a disproportionate response from the Confederacy, or both. Confronted directly by several of the put-upon protoformer races, Chak and Una were forced to confront their own privilege. Cultural Appropriation
Notes
[edit]- Given their recurring role, Chak and Una are the closest thing Beast Wars has to token children characters.
- Chak is named after Jack from the Legend film. This reference works in conjunction with Una being named after Oona of the same film. Many years later, Blix and Screwball were later named in reference to other characters from the film.
Foreign names
