CHEETOR:
Oracle Bearer

After the events of the Great Reformatting, Cheetor became a more mature, but still hot headed spokesperson for the Technorganic citizens. When the Decepticons attacked, he was the first to stand and fight. (And get his ass handed to him!) He wasn't very well liked by the New Cybertronia Parlament, who feel Cheetor was an instigator of events, and slightly hold him in contempt for the actions of Optimus Primal and the reformatting. He was also the one to break off from the Parlament to find Optimus Prime, against their wishes.

Taking cues from the DHJ design and the Motorball body from Battle Angel Alita, Cheetor bore a "Damascus Blade" and flip down rollerblades to move as mach+ speeds. He is still in contact with the Oracle, who guide him in the form of a holographic form taking cues from T.A.I. from Robots in Disguise. Unfortunately, no one but Cheetor can even see her, so everyone thinks he's off is rocker... Except for the Axalon crew. He transforms into a dragster similar to Aeon Flux's split wheel roadster.

Excellent re-conceptualization of Cheetor here. He's my all-time favorite transformer, and I love to see some well-thought-out fan versions of him. (too many people churn out fanart for transformers without either doing proper research if they aren't re-designing, or just overall poor-quality designs if they do)

As Quietstorm said, I do have to agree with the slight rodent-ish look he's got going here, but that's fine. Since in your version he doesn't transform into an animal at all, I suppose any look is up for grabs. XD

Nice...head reminds me a bit of BM Rattrap. But ironically, the recent con exclusive of pre-BW Cheetor looks a tad like his head as well.

Love the design job. I love the BM designs as well. Not entirely at first but they grew on me. Recently picked up the DVD's and rekindled my love of Beast Machines.

Cheetor, who I didn't really care for in Beast Wars became a favourite character during BM.
