Chak

Chak is a protohuman from the Beast Wars cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

From them will come the human race... uh, in several million years. Chak is the one on the left.

Chak is a young protohuman, usually seen with Una, who befriended the Maximals. It is unclear whether Chak and Una are closely related, or if they are actually the offspring of the much larger mature male protohuman occasionally seen defending them.

Fiction

Beast Wars cartoon

Voice actor:  ? (English), Kappei Yamaguchi (Japanese)

Chak and Una were traveling with the protohuman with Dinobot's club and an older primate when one of Megatron's cyber raptors attacked them. Oldy was picked off, and Chak and Una were separated from the group in the scatter. Optimus Primal and Silverbolt saved them, but the other members of the tribe had already fled. Cheetor and Blackarachnia were sent to lead them back to their tribe. Chak and Cheetor bonded quickly. However, Tarantulas, Waspinator, and three cyber raptors attacked them. Optimus and Silverbolt arrived to save the day again, and Blackarachnia took a shot intended for the kids. She maintained that she slipped. However, the guy with the club arrived and showed the Maximals that they needed to destroy the raptors' control parts. Chak and Una were returned to their family and the Maximals went home, as Tarantulas and Waspinator tried to pull themselves out from under the dead raptors. Cutting Edge

When worlds collide it's a curious thing, bet you've never heard a robot and a caveman sing!

Later, Cheetor took to teaching the children basic tool use as a way of helping them develop. Go with the Flow

After the destruction of the Darksyde, Chak and Una were playing when Inferno and Quickstrike attempted to secure the protohumans' cave dwellings as their new "colony".

Notes

• Given their recurring role, Chak and Una are the closest thing Beast Wars had to token children characters. That show had some advantages, eh?
