- While Bumblebee might be thought of as the current kid-appeal character in the world of the Transformers, there was a time when the Beast Wars introduced the fast and cool cat, the Maximal Cheetor!

Despite how little lines he gets, I love how polite ROTB Cheetor is.
Yes.
Rhinox is the one that REALLY got sidelined. And the fact that THE David Sobolov has the voice credit for that character by simply grunting and panting just hurts even more.
@@jdpragmatic8644 Maybe next movie.
Cool
Also call me Mandela effect but I'm sure he's the first maximal to speak on screen
@@gabrielchee8470he is
Rotb Cheetor was wildly different from his OG BW version yet somehow still feels like the same character. Like the matured version that didn’t experience Beast Machines from another timeline.
I think we could all agree with Beast Megatron when he said:
" Ahhhh...❤ Pussy Cat! A sneak attack! I like you!"❤
I love that Cyberverse gave us the meet up I have wanted for years between Bumblebee, Hot Rod and Cheetor.
What about Gold Bug? :(
A shame we were never able to see Cheetor leadership after Beast Machines, it would have been amazing to see him as full and growth leader, even becoming a matrix bearer
Alpha Trizer Era show would be nice. :(
Out of all the Bumblebee-esque characters introduced, Cheetor has always been my favorite. I always did love how cheeky he would get with not only the Predacons but to his fellow Maximals too. And his feline nature was just the icing on top(especially since I have a few cats of my own👀). His 90s lingo may be dated but I love it sm, he's trying so hard to be hip and cool fr. I just wish they could've given him more lines with Tigatron, especially after hearing "Big Cat, Little Cat" line. I would've love to see more from those interact more.
Overall, I just love this funky, transforming Cheetah. Never grew up with Beast Wars but it's awesome they're getting the spotlight in mainstream media. Just wished they could've given them more time to shine in RoTB😅.
That was my issue with Age of Extinction. I want to see the bots! You can jam a human element in the plot but that is not what we are here for. We didn't get to see the dinobots until nearly 2 hours into the run time and then the maximals straight up disappear after the first ten minutes. They assembled such a stellar cast for the maximals and we barely got to know them.
P.S. Absolutely love cheetor! Beast wars really nailed it with an outstanding cast of characters.
Cheetor was definitely a spiritual successor to Bumble Bee abd a great character to show growth!( Surprised these 2 never teamed up!) Love his voice actor, Ian Corlett, as he was Ocean Dubs 1st Goku, Mega Man and Dr. Tofu from Ranma! Just a swell actor and character himself!😂
Beast Wars gave us not only some the best characters of Transformers, but of the animation in general
"Beast or Bot, we're still the Baddest!"
Such an underrated quote.
I really love all the beast modes from Beast Machines, but Cheetor's is my favorite. In fact, it's my all time favorite alt-mode in all of Transformers. The ROTB Cheetor's beast mode reminded me a lot of it.
Cheetor was always one of my favorite characters in the Beast Wars cartoon
Yup he still spot on smooth. Ian James Corlett is my favorite voice actor as Cheetor. That cat is cool with those spots. Can wait to see him soon as a cool cat kid or a rebellions teenager he is cool.
Cheetor is the Bumblebee of Beast Wars.
He is more like Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Tracks, and Hotrod whereas Rattrap would be like both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.
@@stainshieldbee and rat trap are very different Cheetor and bee does have a bit in common like looking up to the big bots eager to prove something and snarky smart ass attitude and their insecurities but cheetor more cocky then bumblebee
Hope Primal gets one too in the future.
As a fan of the original Beast Wars series I thank you for this. Great overview on this iconic character in the series. Also ironic how Cyberverse allowed Transformers fans to see all three kid inspired members in one show with Bumblebee, Hot Rod and Cheetor all in a few scenes together.
Beast Wars was always the best transformers series ever
I really hope that Cheetor gets his own Funko Pop figure.🙏🙏🙏❤️🐆
Cheetor was the first transformers toy I ever had (Telemocha Series, Beast Wars in 2007).
I always had a fondness for cats, and I like his beast form in Rise of the Beasts.
My favorite Cheetor form was the Transmetal 2, it was the closes thing as a saber tooth tiger
The first original Cheetor will always be the best. Awesome Retrospective on Cheetor.👍👍👍👍🐆🐆🐆
*The Cheetor Loud Of ROTB Respect To The Original Cheetor Loud Of "Transformers: Beast Wars ©(1996)"*
Yes the kid is still spot on smooth as a cool cat, and he is still the fastest runner Maximal/Autobot.
I'd truly loved *Cheetor's* voice; because he'd shared the same as *Goku* from *_Dragon Ball Z,_* & *_Mega Man_* (1995) animated cartoon, as well, *RodimusPrimal!*
Shares the same voice as Goku
Cheetor always came across as the journey that Hot Rod should have had when introduced before becoming Rodimus Prime. I love both, but Hot Rod only had 4 appearance in the cartoon in order to learn lessons of leadership for Rodimus Prime
I LOVE CHEETOR HE IS my favorite beast war character and yes he is spot on smooth
i wished cheetor in rotb had more screen time
I see cheetor, hot rod, hot shot and bumblebee as brothers in a way. Cheetor and bee same age,hot rod and hot shot a year older. I even got my girlfriend a reissue cheetor for her birthday to start her collection.
I do like the way you see him grow throughout the series.
If only Cheetor and Rhinox got more screen time and lines to speak in ROTB. Rhinox didn't even get a line. They even filmed a scene with him talking but they cut it out. Very sad.
Rhinox did have a line, which was, "We'll clear the way."
Cheetor shows us that Bumblebee’s not the only kid appeal character in Transformers out there! Cheetor deserves the stardom Bumblebee has had for some time now!
Also Cheetor is “spot on smooth!”
LOVE CHEETOR!!!! Great video as always!
My two favorite versions are the teenager TM2 feral scream cheador and beast machines cartoon cheadle let's take these new bods for a test drive!
Optimus Primal use to be my favorite BW original character but over the years I really have begun to love Cheetor more, he is such an great character
Awesome video. To me, Cheetor and Primal were the best Maximals so it made me smile to see Cheetor get so much love in the later material.
He is my second favorite on Transformers Earth Wars. My favorite is Rodimus Prime.
Sweet I’m glad to see some Beast Wars characters getting a retrospective
I've done videos on Blackarachnia, Dinobot, Silverbolt, Inferno, and one on the series as a whole.
@@RodimusPrimal sorry I forgot my bad but I remember the Silverbolt video though
Yeah, Cheetor is still Spot-On Smooth.
Daaamn...Cyberverse got pretty dark pretty often, didn't it!? 😮😮😮 Great, now I gotta hunt down one of the Cyberverse Cheetor figures - those actually showed up on shelves, unlike several others, but *NEVER* stuck around for very long!!
Then again, there's a couple other Cheetor figures I need to get (like MP34 or the KO).
0:45 -Maximal delightful, *RodimusPrimal!* 😄
His power level is far over 9000
I understood that reference!
Man, I wish we got more.og him in the movie.
Maybe the sequel will give us proper screentime for him & Rhinox. Plus bring in Dinobit & Rattrap.
nice job about Cheetor Retrospective from Transformers
Yes, Cheetor is still as smooth as ever, just like Bumblebee. Thanks for the retrospect on Cheetor.
Hi Rodimus,Great video about Cheetor Retrospective,Keep them coming,Cheetor is one of my favorite Transformers Characters,but also one of my favorite Maximals of all time, Cheetor was definitely a spiritual successor to Bumblebee and a great character to show growth!, Also I not only like but love his voice actor Ian Corlett, as he was Ocean Dubs 1st Goku, Mega Man and Dr. Tofu from Ranma!

Yes The Kid is still spot on smooth as a cool cat, and he is still the fastest runner Maximal/Autobot.Also Great retrospective! I'm really enjoy them! Also Great video Cheetor was my favorite character during Original Beast Wars era. His Entrie arc throughout reminded me a little of G1(Generation One) Hot Rod.Yup he still spot on smooth. Ian James Corlett is my favorite Voice actor as Cheetor.That cat is cool with those spots.Can wait to see him soon as a cool cat kid or a rebellions teenager he is still cool.Also Cheetor always came across as the journey that Hot Rod should have when introduced before becoming Rodimus Prime.

My two favorite versions are the teenager Transmittal feral scream Cheetor and Beast Machines Cartoon Cheetor let's take these new bods for a test drive! Also Cheetor is the Bumblebee of Beast Wars.Also the following information is from Transformers Beast Wars Sourcebook(limited, mini-series)#1(of)4(2007), and Transformers Beast Wars Sourcebook Trade PaperBack(2009) they are:Cheetor Allegiance:(as of 2023): Maximal, Primary Function:(as of 2023):Jungle Patrol Transformation/Beast Mode(as of 2023):Cheetah, Weapons/Abilities:(as of 2023): Cheetor possesses the fastest land speed of all the Maximals. Athletic and agile, two primary weapons his Quasar cannon which fires bursts of explosive energy and his tail section,TransMetal Form(as of 2023):bladed whip and quantum blasters,third attack configuration: a flying cheetah mode utilizing rocket boosters mounted on either side of his mid-section. & TransMetal 2 Form(as of 2023): Rocket Pack (Beast Mode), Primary Weapon(as of 2023):Rocket Launcher, His persona changed to that of a rebellious teenager,Cheetor is also the youngest member of the Axalon Crew. Cheetor was always impulsive and eager for adventure, Also my favorite version of Cheetor was the Original Cheetor because he looks up to Optimus Primal whom he refers to as Big Bot.Also ROTB Cheetor was wildly different from his Original Beast Wars version yet somehow still feels like the same character.

Also thanks for sharing Rodimus keep up the good work stay safe out there in Florida have a good night, and until next time TILL ALL ARE ONE.🙂💪🦸🟢🏋️🇺🇲👍💯🌆 1:01 am.
He has a great story ach! Great writing! I'm more of a Rhinox person myself! But I have the kingdom one and I bought my nephew the ROTB version!
It was a awesome review! I do love Cheetor! He is number 3 on my favorite maximals! Rhinox is my 1 favorite of maximals!
Always! 🤩
Nice I have an action figure of him he must be bumblebees descendent
Ultra gear!
*Cheetor Loud Is Very Fantástic Maximal*
Definitely can hear Mega Man in the BW Cheetor. I suspect we'll see at least one transmetal version of Cheetor before Legacy ends. Hasbro really missed the trick having Cheetor and Ravage as rivals in Kingdom. They have them in the same space but one catfight isn't enough.
Cheetor's growth is one of the best in al of Transformers history!
They did my boy Cheetor dirty in Transformers Rise Of The Beasts...😔
Animated cheetor is my favorite:) great video as always!!
Cheetor is the Bumblebee from Beast Wars.
He is a mix between Hotrod, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Tracks.
Dang, I didn't know there was also Beast-Machines with Minicons as well! 7:16 Also that style of Designs at 8:02 needs to be revisited someday.
Great video rodimus stay safe till all are one
I have to buy a cheetor toy for ROTB,but I like his kingdom toy thanks for A great review.
Great video! Cheetor was my favorite character during original Beast Wars era. His arc throughout reminded me a little of G1 Hot Rod
Cheetor
Is like a mix of bumblebee and hotrod/rodimus.
Thank you again, I always look forward to your videos.
The Energon Universe was made for people that grew up watching G1 TF cartoon & GIJOE cartoon.
Imo Cheetor is the only kid appeal character that grew naturally into a leadership role compared to his other Cubertronians.
This is a spot on look at Cheetor. Thank you very much RodimusPrimal!!
You know, I can imagine a world where cheetor’s impulsiveness gets to the point Primal gets fed up and snaps at him, only for the young maximal to lash back at him, weakening the maximals at their lowest point……
Just a thought…..
Ian James Corlett is hard to get a hold of, I`d like to interview him. Great retrospective, well researched as always. I do like the TM2 model and characterisation better, the teenager type was fun to watch. I`m hoping a TM2 update will happen soon.
Galaxy Force Ligerjack (Cybertron Leobreaker) is an homage to Transmetal 2 Cheetor.
I doubt it
@@gabrielchee8470 The head sculpt and much of his robot mode is the same, not to mention he's on the beast planet with Saidos (Rhino-dos in Japanese) and another bot with BW Silverbolt's head, so it's pretty obvious their planet's meant as a BW homage. If you can't tell, maybe you need to rewatch it. I also happen to own the toy and the mechanics are even more similar in-hand.
In Rise of the Beast, Cheetor does speak in a Zimbabwean Accent.
Because his voice actor was originally from Zimbabwe
Cheetor is one of my favorite Maximals in beast wars
I thought he would be mute just like bumblebee because when the first trailer came out he didn’t speak. I thought scourge ripped cheetor’s voice box out just like Megatron ripping out bumblebee’s in transformers prime.
Congratulations are in 100 K subscribers! More than well deserved!
BEast Wars IDW endedin such an abrupt way that I wish the new timeline could bring them back
Great video.
5:22 and one of the worst. Lol
I'm also surprised that pre released ROTB pic showed bee able to keep up with him
Congrats on 100k subs!
Growing up I thought Bumblebee became Cheetor. Boy was I wrong lol
My favorite incarnation of Cheetor is in Cyberverse
I fell for every example he named in the open as a kid 😅😅😅
Favorirul meu este Optimus Primal!
Great video! Would love to keep up the beast hype with Scorponok? After the movie, the beast wars comic, and Kingdom there's a lot of stuff I'd love to see covered in a retrospective.
The transmetal era had some weird designs and honestly what was hasbro and Kenner thinking? This was before the Aoe and Tlk humanoid design even existed!
Despite of how much I loved the film, it was such a wasted opportunity in the 'Rise of the Beasts'.
In my TransFormers: AlignedVerse FanFiction, a female version of Cheetor will make her debut.......
Beast Machines never happened! At least I wish it didn't.
I watched it all for this video, which didn't sit well with me this time around.
@@RodimusPrimal By the way, my parents were on the broker side, financially. But Christmas 96 I got a Rhinox action figure. It was alright, but he should've been a deluxe toy. The figure didn't do him justice.
That Cheetor figure profile sounds more like Tigatron.
Another stellar review!
Great retrospective! Really enjoy these!!
He is a cool cat with sunglasses who likes to eat cheesy flavored snacks, one wonders how he gets enough to eat consedering that a cat is carnivore, but he seems to enjoy it, and whats more, he can talk and walk around like a person, so perhaps its a mutation. Appearing first in 1986 and changing over time, the mascot has been part of advertisements and one knows what they are getting when they buy the snack. Two video games made off this one guy! A tv show was planed but never happened and - wait what?
... Oh OHHHHHHH Cheetor... not Chester Cheetah... nevermind then.
Wasn’t Cheetor irish? I believe he used to sing an old irish hymn at the end of each episode. Might want to update the video with that tidbit
I like that beast wars saved transformers from the nothing that was generation 2
Although I prefer G1 Bumblebee, G1 Hot Rod & Armada Hot Shot, my favorite version of Cheetor is Beast wars.
cat loves food yeah yeah yeah cat love foo- you read nothing
5:36 AAAAA
Ultra Gear! One of my fav Maximals, I love all of them, but still Cheetor is one of my favs! I also love Cheetor in Cyberverse, his design in TFA cuz Idk that version too much, & I hope in RotB (haven't seen it yet) Cheetor is good, idrc if he may of may not have a small amount of screentime, as long as hes cool & in character, I'm happy!
Wait, does this Retrospective have any RotB spoilers? Cuz again, I haven't seen it yet.
I have watched TFA, but Idk its version of Cheetor too much cuz he was in a book, I think, that I haven't read.
It talks about ROTB but nothing spoilery.
@@RodimusPrimal Ok, cool! thx for replying!!
😎👍
It looks like his movie self toke design ques from his transmetal 2 self.
Cheetos is still one smooth cat.
I meant, Cheetor is still one smooth cat.
I still say at the end of B.M. Cheetor became a Prime.
Kind of but not really. He became the wise old sage, Alpha Trizer.
@@RodimusPrimal hmmm. Primal was dead, generally each leader that takes leadership after the last one is called a Prime. Think it depends on the continuity.
I got to say I love chetours design in Beast Machines. the only thing that I would change are the legs. I think they're absurdly too long and I would make them a little shorter and thicker. His design from the waist up 10/10. But from the waist down not so great lol
Those legs were definitely weird.
Cheetor
