I love how each form Cheetor gets is a stage in his growth. His original body being that of a kid, trans metal 1 a pre-teen, trans metal 2, a teenager, and his techno-organic form is that of an adult.
I wish the current TF shows/story lines learned more from Beast Wars. The transformers upgraded their forms as the war progressed, also one of the only shows to not have humans (besides our ancestors, which did lead to the best story line with dinobot and the end of the series as it was used well), and the inclusion of the G1 history. As a kid when this originally aired, it was such a great show to catch week to week.
To becoming the next leader of the Maximals. Cheetor is probably the best character in the series because we see him grow up and mature throughout both Beast Wars and Beast Machines. His tale is the coming of age story and it was beautiful.
Especially when it doesn’t seem to serve much purpose other than to remind the audience these are still beast transformers. His warrior and vehicle modes are superior and without the energon surge there is no reason to turn into beast mode.
Or how about when after he landed and transformed to Beast Mode after hearing some monkeys in the distance he scratched the side of his chest like a flesh and blood gorilla or other primates would.
He only uses beast for a shield block mode. He uses his jet mode to fly everywhere, his tank mode was used for getting the other Maximals he had to get out of a rocky pile and get back to the Ark in Feral Scream prt 1
It is funny how in childhood I always subconsciously loved the characters most who eventually became the heroes. E.g. Cheetor was just a kid early BW, but he is also the ONLY out of all series, who had a complete arc from start to beginning (eventually becoming the new Maximal leader in Beast Machines).
My thoughts exactly! No one else was there since episode one of Beast Wars until the last episode of Beast Machines had a full character arc. I know Beast Machines wasn't that popular among fans but if Cheetor is your favorite character then you HAVE to watch Beast Machines if you want to seem him rise up all the way to the top as next leader of the Maximals. In Beast Machines, probably one of the best and most emotional moments in both series happens when Optimus, damaged or ill, appoints Cheetor to be the leader of the Maximals since Optimus currently wouldn't be able to do so. Hearing Cheetor just simply say "Me?" was intense and it was that moment we as fans realized that he was no longer the starting space cadet we first met in the first episode of Beast Wars. He had completely grown up and was now ready to take on the responsibilities of being leader. Hell, with this new sense of responsibility, he FORCED Optimus to stand down as leader a few episodes later because he saw that Optimus wasn't thinking clearly and was putting the Maximals in danger. So with that being said, Cheetor turned out to be one of the best characters in not just both of these series but the whole Transformers franchise in general.
What I loved about Dinobot 2's fight with Cheetor is that he COULD have just stayed in Robot mode and blasted Cheetor right then. But he CHOSE to switch to his Dinosaur form.... something the OLD Dinobot would've done as a matter of honor. He was ALWAYS still in there. He just was buried by Rampage's spark.
@Maleksrphn I heard "I'll Kill you." in a deep, menacing, and creepy yet hot growl. TM2 Cheetor is a kick-ass close-rang fighter as a beast and HOT bad boy as a bot. 8P *drools as she stares stalkerish @ Cheetor.*
one thing i noticed rewatching this show is how optimal optimus almost never uses his beast mode in season 3, in fact i think this epísode is the last of the season where he uses the beast mode, after that he always on robot mode or fly mode.
Cheetor's body went through a lot of transformations. OG, transmetal, transmetal 2, back to OG, then the techno organic mode. All on his original body while Optimus had three bodies built for him over BW and BM. The others didn't get as many upgrades
@Maleksrphn yeah, that is what i thought he was saying. Really cool though, however, they could have cleaned up his robot mode a bit more. Beast Mode is hot!.
Cheetor doesn't look as good (non-beast mode) as he did prior but I will say his beast mode is good and his fighting style very much improved. Thanks for the episode.
I know these comments were from a long time ago, but despite Cheetor's growth in the show being a positive, I really can't find myself liking Beast Machines as well knowing that it was the sequel to the Beast Wars (now I know it can be enjoyed by ignoring that it's the sequel, but it really doesn't work for me knowing that they're meant to be the same characters). I'll take the transmetals any day over the techno organic crap we got. I'm just here to show I'm a fan of the Beast Wars as well!
@theww3abc In RM yeah but I think his BM is fairly kickass, though not as kickass as Tm2 DB's. IMO it was an attempt to save Cheetor from the Scrappy pile by having him take a level in Badass. Thought occurs to me that this is the 2nd time Cheetor got stuck in a feral state in BM and Optimus coaching him is very reminiscent of the whole "I Am Transformed" shinanagens in the sequel series.
@ab14967 Never mind. it is 'curse you'. O_o why did I think it was 'I'll kill you'? that would never fit cheetors character! Dinobot on the other hand . . . .

Transmetals are the coolest
In the comics he eventually becomes a sage.
Og age 13
Tm age 15
Tm2 age 17
Bm age 19
Kinda
What Comic's?
Right!
Seeing Optimus lift Cheetor as if he was a proud father is definitely one of my favorite moments in this season and the show in general :D
imagine if Tigatron saw that
Reminds me of Optimus hugging Bumblebee
And yet Cheetor shy 🤣

From a egar young space cadet to a rebellious teenager. Ahh the joys of cyber puberty.

@@dahoomancentipee9461 yes indeed my friend cheetor's story arc was very beautiful.
At 5:36-5:37, when Cheetor says: "Maximize!" ... that's the voice he should've had all along.
5:36-5:37
Optimal Optimus Primal: *YES!* You did it!
I always forget Optimal Optimus even has a Beast Mode. It’s honestly weird seeing him out of robot mode
Especially when it doesn’t seem to serve much purpose other than to remind the audience these are still beast transformers. His warrior and vehicle modes are superior and without the energon surge there is no reason to turn into beast mode.
"This is Optimus. We need backup...I think..."
I like how Optimus takes a second to look at some bananas at 0:29
Or how about when after he landed and transformed to Beast Mode after hearing some monkeys in the distance he scratched the side of his chest like a flesh and blood gorilla or other primates would.
Omg I never noticed that, That's adorable
I just noticed that. 😆🐵🍌
We need more scenes of primal acting like a monke
His voice breaking was always something that I didn’t understand well into when I was a moody teenager myself.
Man I loved waking up to watch this show on Saturday morning cartoons , ahhhhh those were the days!!! 😢
A rare sight of Optimal Optimus beast mode.
No he already in beast mode since the beginning of the first ep ss3
@@UssrHenry This is his Transmetal 2 form . . . and he has 3 modes: Jet, Gorilla, Bot.

I'm pretty sure that if Optimus hadn't called for reinforcement, Feral Cheetor would've ripped Dinobot apart.
lucky old dinobot 1 wasnt there or everyone would get trashed
I wish he did waste dinobot for the cheap shot he did on optimus
I forgot how bad-ass Cheetor was!
Lol epic armpit scratch by Optimus
I will admit trasmetal 2 cheetor definitly more intimidating
beast or robot mode?
@@redlantern6669 yes
I miss these guys,
Yo,,, bring them back 😡
I liked Cheetor's first Transmetal form the most cause it was shiny and colorful just like Rattrap's
Same AND because he has boosters
Boy, if only Tigatron had been here.
he would got through to cheetor faster and dinobot1
Agreed
Primal is such a dad
0:30
Primal is reaching for bananas lol

yup
“This is Optimus; I need backup… I think.”

Though his transition of kid to puberty was funny.
Transmetal Cheetor just evolved into Transmetal 2 Cheetor!!! Man, I'm good.

OK, the last part confused me. WHAT HAPPENED TO CHEETOR? I SEE HE'S GOING THROUGH PUBERTY, BUT NOW HE'S SUDDENLY, "DAMN, I AM GOOD."
part of puberty. Extremly fast changing emotions. One minute you were happy and second you are already deeply depressed

2:41 it's time to shred some pred!
Cheetor
in season 1 was a boy.
in season 2 he was a pre-teen and in season 3 he was a teenager in
beast machines he is already an adult
come on now optimal optimus should be able to wreck those two preds all by his self
Love the new cheetor
6:00 Oh joy, cyber puberty
cheetor is a beast no pun intended lol
Watching cheetor going into a blind rage was what's so satisfying after dinobot took that cheap shot.
Awesome, TM2 Cheetor's the best part about this episode :D

HAHAHA!! Waspinator got PWNED!!! 100,000,000% PWNED, that is!!! Haha! Aw, man!
i wonder if optimus got bitten or scratched by Cheetor he might have had "Cyber Rabies"
Megatron probably has cyber rabies since Transmetal 2 Cheetor was feral during part 1
@@elliotttafel578 That would explain Beast Machines he lost his mind and went crazy.
Okay this cheetor I like
Anyone else feel bad for Wasp?

nice pit scratch : )

the last few parts of feral scream don't seem to buffer very well :P
The fight in this scene is exactly how I played with the toys when I was a kid
I liked Transmetal 1 cheetor cause he could fly. Also hand cannons
Actually he could fly in his Transmetal 2 form see Nemesis part 1
He can still fly in his Transmetals 2 form. Cheetor just got even more powerful. Making him the second strongest Maximal
Smilodon vs Velociraptor

dang, the 20th century ended with a bang.

My cat reminds me of cheetor when I pick her up like optimus does XD.
And just like that, he’s now entered his rebellious edgy teenager phase.
@6Jas6devi6 that's the problem, he wasn't before. From what I saw and remember.
I love Cheetor's look and still have has oringinal action figure the trans metal one
What cheeotr and blackarha hook up
@Ucatty2 I think it was, "curse you."

If it was only that easy to change the toy of Optimus that way😅😅😅😅
This is the original ultra instinct goku
Cyber puperty!!!
@ab14967 Why couldn't they have made him awesome to begin with?
i'll never understand why his spark is in his leg in his transmetal two form.
o boy cyber pewperty
Joy not boy
Cheetor hands look like wolverine hands
i m going to fant now
