Cheetor (Armada)
| The name or term "Cheetor" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Cheetor (disambiguation). |
- Cheetor is an Autobot, and later the Horseman Pestilence, from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
If you need someone to sneak into Decepticon strongholds and steal their precious data, Cheetor is the first one to step up and get the job done. The only thing more impressive than his skills and track record is his ego. Smug and self-confident, Cheetor loves the praise he gets from a completed mission, and is always ready with a sharp retort to put others down just to make himself look better.
