- Panther is a Maximal from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Panther turns into... a panther! Yeah.
What he's like depends from continuity to continuity.
Fiction
Beast Wars Perfect Book
He's a Maximal ground soldier. Very fast on his feet, he showcases this ability by using his speed for reconnaissance. Beast Wars Perfect Book
Beast Wars Metals comic
Panther is the father of Ravage. Beast Wars Metals Manga
Whether this means that Panther was the previously unseen father of Generation 1 Ravage or if Panther was G1 Ravage and Beast Wars Ravage was his subsequent offspring in that continuity is uncertain. It's also possible that they were more than one generation removed, and/or that neither was the original Ravage and both were descendants and/or Panther was Ravage's father while BW Ravage was his son, but that's just getting into the realm of speculation... But it can't be ruled out, either. Ugh, Japanese continuity can give ya a serious headache!
IDW Beast Wars comics
Panther is somewhat of an oddball... On top of constantly talking to himself, in strange third-person narratives no less, he believes that even the most mundane of missions to be of the utmost importance. Though he is stealthy, his tendency to make his monologues out loud tend to give his position away. Beast Wars Sourcebook
Toys
Beast Wars
- Panther (McDonald's Happy Meal toy, 1996)
- Part of the first McDonald's Beast Wars promotion, Panther transforms into a heavily-armed Humvee with electronic lights and sounds, plus a spring-loaded missile.
- No, just kidding, he transforms into a panther with no other gimmicks. In keeping with most Transformers fast-food premiums, he features an extremely simple transformation scheme, mostly just standing him up in beast mode, making the mechanical detail on the inside of his arms, legs and underbelly visible, and flipping back his beast mode head to reveal his robot mode head. His panther tail is a molded detailing in his back, unlike what his promotional art suggests. His head bears a resemblance to Cheetor's.
Notes
Foreign names
