Cheetor

Cheetor is the fastest maximal and has a sort of teenager attitude. He looks up to Optimus Primal and always prefers to fight rather than hide.

The youngest member of the Axalon crew, Cheetor was always impulsive and eager for adventure. While he admired his comrades, he often felt that they underestimated him and did not give him the credit he believed he deserved. This often drove him to try to prove himself even more to those he admires. In particular he looks up to Optimus Primal whom he refers to as "Big Bot". Cheetor contributed some of his own circuitry to save Airazor, and they share a sibling relationship as a consequence.

A young Maximal full to bursting with energy and exuberance, Cheetor is always ready to leap into action at a moment's notice. And, much to his colleagues' chagrin, he often does so without a moment's consideration or forethought. Nobody can fault his motives, just his methods. Sure, he's got a bit of cocky edge to him... after all, he is the fastest Maximal on four legs (and he knows it), making him an excellent advance scout and capable of running rings around opponents. And yeah, his enthusiasm often gets the better of him, and he doesn't seem to have much in the way of volume control. And he doesn't exactly handle people thinking he can't handle a job the best he could. But he's a kid with a good spark who just wants to do right. He just needs some guidance and experience... and a lot of luck, because this cat gets into a lot of scrapes.

Thankfully, Optimus Primal, himself something of a young firebrand, keeps a steady eye on the young Maximal and tries to guide him, and in turn Cheetor affectionately calls him "Big Bot". And a friendship with his fellow "big cat" Tigatron is also helping the spotted speedster learn a little patience.

Cheetor possesses the fastest land speed of all the Maximals. Athletic and agile, he is a difficult target to hit. He is armed with to primary weapons: his Quasar cannon, which fires bursts of explosive energy, and his tail section, which transforms into a high-powered rifle that fires concentrated laser beams. In his Tranmetal form he gained Quaser blasters built into his arms, and a bladed whip, which he became quite proficient with. Upon his return to Cybertron and the gaining of his Techno-Organic form, he was gifted with twin blades capable of blocking lasers. Some of Cheetor's dreams have suggested that he may possess some type of innate precognitive ability. He can transform into a cheetah.
