Cheetor (BW)

This article is about the Beast Wars Maximal. For the Unicron Trilogy Autobot, see Cheetor (Armada).

Cheetor is a Maximal character in the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity.

There he is, your little guy.

Cheetor is full of youthful overconfidence. He's also the fastest Maximal on four legs, though, so he gets into way too much trouble. Thankfully, Optimus Primal keeps a steady eye on him. In return, Cheetor has grown to idolize Primal, whom he calls "Big Bot." Optimus Primal knows the young and inexperienced Cheetor needs a good role model, so he doesn't mind too much. And, hey, he's a good kid. Just... keep him away from Dinobot, okay? Impressionable minds, and all.

Speaking of bad influences, Cheetor had a brief crush on the Predacon turncoat Blackarachnia, adding some real tension between him and Silverbolt. He seems over her now.

Off to go train with Piccolo or something, I'm sure.

(Note: although it picks up after the first season, the Beast Wars Metals manga is not in-continuity with the television series.)

Cheetor retained his youthful, inexperienced personality through-out the Japanese interpretation of Beast Wars. For the Beast Wars Metals manga his character design was retooled for a more visually-blunt interpretation of his personality.
