Catilla (DOTM)

The name or term "Catilla" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Catilla (disambiguation).

Catilla is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con or Maximal from the Generation 1 and Unicron Trilogy continuity families (via the Dark of the Moon toyline).

Don't you want a little Catilla you can call your own? A Catilla who'll be with you when you're all alone?

As a warrior, Catilla (aka Katilla) is no pretender: he's strong, fast, smart, tough and very, very skilled. Perhaps these abilities explain why he doesn't tend to carry all that much in the way of firepower. If he has any flaw as a soldier it's that he's only indifferently brave, it might be best not to depend on him sticking his neck out in a daring reckless bid to save the day.

Fiction

Beast Wars: Uprising

Katilla was a member of the Resistance during the Grand Uprising. By his own admission, he was a middle-of-the-pack cybercat, content to let other people take the risks. He didn't like or trust Predacons, despite the Resistance supposedly being pan-factional, noting that once the Builders were dealt with, it'd be the Preds next. Funnily enough, most of his Predacon commanders tended to leave quickly, clearly a conspiracy (and not because of Katilla's attitude, no sir!)

Katilla was part of the Resistance fleet who fought at the Yuss Straits, and would'cha know it, Scylla put him up-front on the Drydock, the uppity Predacon. In fact, she had left him there as a patsy, to draw their opponent Banzai-Tron in. On attack, Katilla panicked, not sure whether to fight back, defend his ship, or just run for it.

A Builder torpedo took care of the problem for him, by turning Katilla's ship into a fireball big enough to be seen from the shores of Iacon. Derailment
