Back

I feel like #Cheetor was the perfect surrogate for kids watching #BeastWars. He was the #Maximals' resident teenager: cool, cocky, and overconfident, but had his heart in the right place and looked up to the adults (#OptimusPrimal and #Tigatron).

We saw him "grow up" as the show progressed (marked neatly by his #transmetal evolutions). Then, in #BeastMachines, he took up responsibility for the team and grew into a respectable leader when Optimus lost himself.
