He's a catty cop who never lets a perp get away. He's a fishy desk jockey with no time for hot-headed traffic cops. They fight crime.
Synopsis
Cheetor chases Crumplezone and Ransack through the streets of Cybertron, disrupting the daily activities of bystanders around them. Cheetor finally catches up to them when Crumplezone decides to fly off a ramp, accidentally landing on Ransack. Cheetor's declaration of their arrest prompts the question of what crime they committed.
At the TransTech offices, chief Depth Charge chews out Cheetor for his reckless endangerment, despite the speedster's claims that the duo were committing a "moving violation". As this is the sixth incident that Cheetor's gotten himself into, Depth Charge informs Cheetor that he has been transferred to Iacon Central. The Autobot doesn't take kindly to the prospects of being demoted to "beat cop".

Notes
Transformers references
- Derrick J. Wyatt designed Cheetor with hexagonal spots to emulate the original Cheetor without looking overly organic, but the finished toy gives his vehicle mode a full-on organic-look cheetah spot pattern. If you look reeeal close, you'll spot the reason for the spots in this comic: when Pipes tumbles from his perch, he splatters black paint all over vehicle-mode Cheetor!
- Ramhorn, Volks and Chase were all designed for inclusion in the Animated cartoon, but didn't make it into any of its numerous crowd scenes. Troop and Sepelak seem to have gone out of their way to include them here in order to give them their only fictional appearances outside of The AllSpark Almanac II.
- Chromia's appearance is the blue Arcee-styled body (from the Japanese Transformers Cards game).
- Amidst the chaos of the accident, an unseen victim cries "My bumper! Look at what you did to my poor bumper!", paraphrasing Armada Cyclonus's quotable lament about his butt from the Armada episode, "Overmatch".
- The Wanted posters back at the station show Wasp and Mudflap, the latter being a new character based on the Cybertron incarnation of the character.
- Animated versions of Jackpot and Hubcap, two of Sepelak's favorite characters, appear in the police station. The duo's Generation 1 counterparts were previously seen together in the Sepelak-and-Troop penned "Gone Too Far", where they were interrogated by Stungun, an Animated version of whom appears to do the same thing here.
Trivia
- The various signs and posters written in Ancient Autobot:
- Pipes and Huffer's sign is for "Motormaster's Stunt Convoy" with the starburst on the poster noting that it is "Live" (a lead-in to the plot of the BotCon 2011 comic "The Stunti-Con Job")
- The ramp Crumplezone flies off of is marked "Hazard"
- The (upside-down and busted-open) crates are labelled "Fragile"
- The wanted posters just say "Wanted" (duh) and list Wasp and Mudflap's names
- Depth Charge's door nameplate reads "Chief"
- The order Depth Charge shows Cheetor says "Transfer"
