#IDW cheetor

The talk (and the lack of it in the right moment)

Masterlist

Eukarians or beast formers in general share a lot with organics, if you thought humans look a lot like cybertronians then you haven't seen an eukarian before, most of them not only have physical and physiological that functions like an organic organism, they can eat meat and vegetables of things on the colony since every living being there has some degree of energon in their bodies too, their bodies can change and heal faster, be more sustainable, all thanks to the blessings of Onyx Prime!

Still, there are some necessities coming along with it (it was the necessity to have a bigger army)

Every orbital cycle, sometimes more times than others depending on the tribe and alt mode, Eukarians initiate mating protocols and start to go along with it, Cheetor isn't exactly sure how it goes with the other tribes but generally most single or conjuxless bots try to catch the attention of others, if there is attraction then they can interface, if things go smoothly both will sparkbond and become conjunx, get sparked and take care of the resulting sparkling, that's the best one could hope for, but there really are some that just do the do and then they are gone, leaving the other bot fending for themselves and the sparkling, happens more times than not since some have it in their CNA behavior of their alt mode or because they are a pain in the aft.

"Huh, I thought we couldn't reproduce" the unsaid question is good while you keep on putting ice packs around him.

"You spend too much time with cybertronians" Cheetor almost looks annoyed, he doesn't have any problem with other bots but he wasn't pleased with the ideas they gave to his sparkling, "we can reproduce"

"Totally normal for bots, peachy"

"No idea why cybertronians lost their own, who knows, really, but we can do it as easy as we can expect a new spark to emerge from Chela's body" Cheetor wants to pet the head of his sparkling, but the threatening sound coming from Viperus intake is enough to stop and go back, "just like you"

"It's troublesome"

Well, indeed it is, some bots get it harder than others, when Cheetor was given the explanation of why his energon lines were burning hot or why he wanted to have any contact with any surface around he said the same thing in between a yowling roar before collapsing on the nearest surface, the cold floor or a cold stone were always the best options, there was also the idea of courtship or the occasional fragging to please the protocol for a while, but it was so taxing to keep at it without opening his spark chamber and end up bonding by accident, the idea to sire wasn't his main priority at the moment.

That's how it went for a while, at least before humans arrived to the colony, most bots took immediate pity or discomforting anxiety with them, so soft they looked like easy prey, so vulnerable that many took humans in their servos or paws to get them back to the space bridge before somebot stepped on someone or a bigger prey took them away, going along the "Oh, for Onyx Prime's sake, how can your be so soft" that quickly changed it's worried tone to one of amusement accompanied with some gentle poking, Cheetor has always been a curious youngling and that didn't change when he got humans around he quickly noticed how soft their hands were.

Maybe it wasn't the best, much less when they got wind of how things went for organics.

"You what?"

"Ah, it's totally normal, we go around this more times than not"

"You what?!"

Femmes like organics bleed and don't die, they smell like carrier in certain days, mech like organics let out pheromones that shout they can go at it anytime.

How did your species survive for so long?

It was an eruption of worry and excitement all over again, Cheetor would have been happy to know before, but alas, every bot older than him seemed to forget about his inexperience just like when his first protocol took over and he was now at the mercy of his starting mating protocol with you around, it was embarrassing enough as it was but he didn't had a nice and clear working brain processor when his face shoved in your midsection before going south when you were petting the fur around his shoulder plates.

You asked if he was okay while shoving his head away, the denial and rejection hitting him harder than you really believed, looking at his hurt expression, like someone just punched him in the stomach while he tried to escape, he didn't want it to go this way, Cheetor knew you saw him like a new spark even when he was millions of years older than you, he didn't want to be put under a way more unwanted light for you.

"I'm sorry, are you alright?"

He was a fool to think you would be anything but soft and worried for his wellbeing, he didn't want to take advantage, so he only accepted the occasional scratch of your nails on his derma,the next time it happened he was mentally ready while also asking you beforehand if you wanted to be with him in that way.

Having an affirmation and a loving new flustered look on you did nothing but make his engine going when your usually kind scratches started to go where he wanted, you were a little insecure about it but he guided your hand back to his interface panel with gentle servos and ventilation system going overboard, giddiness and heat coiling deep on his tank while he rubbed his face plate to your cheek before kissing it fervently when he finally moved away his modesty plate and you touched in curiosity what you could, making Cheetor moan while almost overwhelming you with the weight of his body over yours before stopping himself and start to touch you too.

Mating protocols are such a pain.

It's nothing to worry about for him now, since he has you and a healthy bond in between, a healthy sparkling already old enough to fend for himself that was raised by you both, in terms of his people, this is the best outcome possible.

Not the same can be said for his poor sparkling.

"Well, we only have the huge urge to reproduce once a orbital cycle, not that you can't interface out of that time" he tries to be calm about this and the whole ordeal, could have been ideal to talk about it before hand? Probably, he didn't thought about it at the moment, "but since your carrier is human, and frame like male humans can reproduce everytime and frame like femmes get one earth month cycle..." Cheetor trails on his own words, looking at Viperus with apologetic optics, totally knocked out on the floor of his dark hab suit, coiled on his own large body with a frame so hot it had condensed water like sweat everywhere, "and since you have a spike and a valve like me..."

"And we don't exactly know if you can get some kind of human STD..." You add while cleaning your baby's burning derma.

He had such a furious look on his faceplate, rightfully so.

"Why didn't you two think twice before going head first on alien junk?"

There wasn't a necessity with the already said implications and the terrible heat and rut his own circuits and energon was suffering.

"I hate you both so much"

"We know you don't mean it"

"We love you too, Viper"

[cozzzynook]

The difference between cyberverse!Ratchet and LL!Ratchet's funny to me, because I can easily see the bots assuming that cyberverse is younger, but then he speaks and sounds like he just smoked 20 cy-gars. Still got that party spirit though. Also him telling robot gore stories and freaking some bots out for fun, til someone tells him to calm down.

I can see Hot Rod being so suspicious of Thunderclash because how can someone be THAT nice... then getting along with him a couple days later when Cheetor and Bumblebee INSIST on them meeting.

I think the closest way to make cyberverse Whirl like his counterpart is to make him unfazed by violence, because otherwise he's a total sweetheart. (That has a high chance of getting hit by something for some reason) Tailgate probably likes him. It's like he switched personalities with Drift or something. (Still haven't decided if it should be AFTER that betrayal or not. If it is, sorry IDW!Drift but you will be receiving many glares at first.)

Then we got Optimus teaching Hot Rod about leadership because he sees potential, and them just having a better relationship than IDW Optimus and Rodimus in general. I feel bad for Rodimus, watching his counterpart actually being prepared instead of just thrown in the position of leadership, but after the initial jealousy also feeling a bit happy that at least one of his counterparts has better circumstances.

When Hot Rod's called responsible, he just laughs and is like "oh don't worry, I plan on meteor surfing when we get back."

Or maybe it's Cheetor that excitedly mentions it, and they're like "wait what." Either way, Optimus closes his optics and sighs, but then smiles a moment later. "Just don't join a gang this time."

And I haven't even TALKED about Prowl, or how he races Hot Rod in Cyberverse... Must be whiplash for Lost Light lol.

I honestly love all of this because it really does throw them all for loop.

Bot Buddy the Maximal and meeting Drift

SFW, platonic, familial, slight angst, Cybertronian/ Bot Reader

This writing will be using the Buddy Template of Otter Buddy, aka Bot Buddy that’s Cheetor’s twin.

Refer to Bot Buddy who's Cheetor's twin if you don't know already.

Story time.

Buddy is out on their first solo patrol in a while. It had been calm these past few days and the Maximals wanted to cover more space during patrols. There was no telling if the Predacons were planning something.

Cheetor was already out the doors when Primal said the word. Buddy just sighs and gets to their assigned place near the riverbeds. They are just watching some of the vegetation and occasionally talking with Rhinox through the comms. Every now and then they would try and get in contact with Cheetor.

“Cheetor. What’s your statis?”--Buddy

“Sheesh! You don’t need to do that with me you know. Save the formalities with Optimus or Dinobot.”--Cheetor

“So then what are you doing?”--Buddy

“Doing my job--oh a bird!”--Cheetor

“Remind me again how are we related again?”—Buddy

Budy now entered the water, figuring that they could cover more through the river and cool off a bit from the afternoon heat. The current of the river suddenly got stronger and started slowly pulling them under. Buddy is trying to get out of this newfound current the best they can and trying to see if something caused it. They knew these rivers and never had the current been this strong.

Buddy quickly comms Rhinox about the situation. Rhinox is trying to coach them the best he can telling them to stay calm and to find something to grab. Then he hears Buddy struggling and bobbing in the water.

“Buddy stay on the comms. I’m sending the others to your location.”—Rhinox

“Hurry Rhinox! Things aren’t looking too good over here!”—Buddy

Rhinox began calling in anyone in the area to go check out Buddy as quickly as they could. Cheetor says that he can get there fast but the closest one to Buddy’s location was Rattrap.

“Don’t worry kid! I’m sure it’s not that bad.”—Rattrap

It turns out it was indeed bad.

He manages to get to the river and sees the problem. Some glowing thing at the river’s bed was creating a whirlpool dragging anything that wasn’t pinned down. Poor Buddy was holding on to dear life on some nearby rocks near the whirlpool. He quickly ruled out going into the water by himself, he was going to need back up. Rattrap quickly comms in for anymore back up and he was engaging the problem.

“Rattrap to anyone near our location! It’s some sort of portal thing and it’s trying to drag Buddy in it!”--Rattrap

“What?!”—Rhinox/ Cheetor

“Dinobot to Rattrap, I am closing in on your location.”--Dinobot

“This is Cheetor, I’m coming in as fast as I can!”—Cheetor

Dinobot arrives not a minute later. Rattrap transformed into his biped mode and grabbed the end of Dinobots’ tail as he dug his feet into the ground.

Buddy now was exhausted from trying to keep afloat, but they try their best to stay on the rocks and reach out for Rattraps servo. Rattrap notices Buddy getting tired and tries talking to Buddy.

“C’mon Buddy I’m right here. Talk to me Buddy. Just reach your servo out a little bit more.”--Rattrap

“I’m trying Rattrap. I don’t exactly want to get suck in by whatever that thing is.”—Buddy

Cheetor arrives and wants to jump in, but thanks to Dinobot he doesn’t. He trades places with Dinobot as he quickly transforms into his biped mode to try and further get Rattrap and Buddy out of the water. Cheetor has an iron grip on Dinobot’s arm, laser focused on trying to ground everyone. He starts shouting to Buddy to grab Rattrap.

“Buddy grab Rattrap!”--Cheetor

“I’m tired Cheetor.”--Buddy

“Don’t give up now! We are almost there just hold on a little bit longer!”—Cheetor

Rattrap was inches away from Buddy’s tired servo when the portal starts moving upwards from the riverbed. The current above moved faster and had goten stronger. Dinobot nearly lost his grip on Rattrap, struggling to keep his servo in his and not let the current break the chain. The current, sadly, was so strong it sucked in Buddy without another tug. Cheetor screamed as the portal closed leaving the river calm as it was before. He manages to yank Dinobot and Rattrap to shore and jumps in himself trying to swim around the area where Buddy was.

“BUDDY! Buddy! Buddy where are you?!?!”—Cheetor

Which was trippy for him since he couldn’t swim too well. Rattrap did end up saving Cheetor’s behind. Both him and Dinobot try scolding him about jumping in so quickly, but it fell to deaf ears. Primal descended from the sky and asked what happened seeing Cheetor’s devastated face.

“They’re gone Bossbot… they’re gone…”—Cheetor

Meanwhile on the Lost Light.

Brainstorm had been in the middle of demonstrating his latest dimension hoping device to Team Rodimus. Drift was internally facepalming himself as the monologue went on. Ratchet had no problem doing it publicly. Drift normally wouldn’t mind the science droning so much, but it had been a couple of boring days. Not that he wasn’t grateful for the leisure days, he was grateful for the lack of fights around. If only Ratchet would finally decide to take a break with him... but that didn’t matter right now. Brainstorm started up the machine the room filling with soft hums of the engine… right before it started spewing water.

“Is this normal?!”--Drift

“Nope!”—Brainstorm

 Everyone tried stopping the water, meanwhile Brainstorm, Perceptor and Nautica were trying to stop the machine. Drift was trying to move some important looking tools out of the way before the machine started sputtering. Before anyone could comment on it something brown spewed out and landed straight into Drift’s chassis knocking him down onto the wet floor.

“GAH! What’s on me?!”—Drift

“Calm down it isn’t moving or biting you. Look at it its probably dead.”—Ratchet

“You don’t know that!”--Drift

Thank goodness Drift let Ratchet convince him to leave some of his swords for the presentation if not the poor thing most likely would have been spliced. Drift gently picked it up. It looked a lot like some animal he once saw on Earth, it was limp in his servos. Everyone started crowding around. Ratchet managed to stop the crowding a bit before he and Brainstorm started inspecting the thing. Buddy’s optics weakly came online and saw a room full of unfamiliar Cybertronians. Bigger and stronger looking Cybertronians.

“GAH!”--Buddy

“GAH!”--Drift

“GAH!! What in the Allspark!”—Buddy

 Buddy is a little smaller than the minibots. Everyone was in shock and baffled. The thing was Cybertronian with an organic altmode. Now while it wasn’t unheard of, it was still surprising to the few members of the crew that didn’t have much time with organics.

“Oh Primus I’m dead aren’t I? Is this the Allspark? Never thought it’d be so… ship like?”—Buddy

“You ain’t dead kid.”—Ratchet

“Are you sure?”--Buddy

“I can change that if you want.”--Ratchet

“… You know what I’ll take your word for it.”--Buddy

“Welcome other dimensional being! Welcome to the Lost Light!”--Brainstorm

“…What?”—Buddy

Buddy’s optics go wide remembering what had happened. They try to get up but start falling. They try steading themselves on Drift pede.

“I… the others…my—"—Buddy

They pass out of exhaustion and stress before any coherent sentence is made. Drift scooped them out as Ratchet moved some bots out of the way so they could bring the newcomer to the medbay.

After Buddy wakes up after a fistful nap, Drift is by their side and gently explains what’s going on.

“So, what you’re saying is that the bot who was welcoming me on board is the same guy who brought me here? And that this is another dimension right after the Great Autobot and Decepticon War and this ship is just flying through space trying to find some mythical Knights?”--Buddy

“Yeah, that about sums everything up.”--Drift

“This is so weird.”—Buddy

“But its weird to me that you and a bunch of bots are from the future trying to stop events from happening in the past, so that time doesn’t collapse in on itself. And on top of that, you have an Optimus and a Megatron named after our Optimus and Megatron.”—Drift

“… Okay so both of our dimensions are weird.”--Buddy

“That seems about right. Oh, I almost forgot, Megatron is at Swerve’s right now with Rodimus and Magnus. They want to meet you.”--Drift

“…You want to run by me that last sentence one more time.”--Buddy

“Oh yes Megatron is an Autobot now.”--Drift

“!!!???”--Buddy

Buddy stays by Drift side for the entire walk. He does his best to answer Buddy’s questions.

“Was the medic that was looking over me really The Ratchet?”--Buddy

“Yes, that was Ratchet.”--Drift

“Have you ever been to Earth?”--Buddy

“Yes, yes I have on a few times in the past.”--Drift

“Does your Megatron have an obsession on saying ‘Yes’?”--Buddy

“No… not that I know of?”--Drift

“That’s good for you then. You haven’t suffered that.”--Buddy

Personal headcanon Cheetor’s ancestor was Rodimus/Hot Rod.

Imagine Buddy’s absolute surprise and delight seeing Rodimus hanging out at the bar. Rodimus spots the newcomer with Drift and goes to introduce himself. He was not entirely prepared for the newcomer to lowkey geek out.

“Hello there Captain, are you really Rodimus Prime?”--Buddy

“Yeah, I am and you must be Buddy from another dimension.”--Rodimus

“Sorry--but sweet Primus-- I would have never thought I’d meet you. Not in the living at least.”--Buddy

“What?”--Rodimus

“In my dimension you are my ancestor. Its truly an honor to meet you and to be just here with you--oh that probably sounded weird-- Are you okay?”--Buddy

“I’m fine.”—Rodimus, was currently trying to hold back happy tears and hugging Buddy because finally he has someone who apprentices him and his work!

Congratulations Buddy, Rodimus’s ego and pride have increased by a 10-fold. Rodimus is taking them under his metaphoric wing.

“As my descendant you must be great at Meteor Surfing.”--Rodimus

“I was for a bit but, it was outlawed in the sectors we lived in. so we couldn’t really surf much back home.”--Buddy

“… Magnus! Clear my schedule! Buddy and I are going out!”—Rodimus

Buddy had a good time with Rodimus Meteor Surfing, but they honestly wanted to go back and talk to Drift again. Drift had made it clear to Buddy that he was there to help and be Buddy’s friend for the time they were going to be in this dimension.

“Drift we’re back!”--Buddy

“Oh how was it with you and Rodimus?”--Drift

“Fun and all how have you been?”--Buddy

“I’ve been cleaning some of my blades.”--Drift

“Can you show me more about your blades?”—Buddy

Soon after a week the machine is ready. Buddy said goodbye to everyone.

“Good-Bye Drift! Good-Bye Rodimus! Goodbye everyone! Thank you for everything!”—Buddy

 Once Buddy has left Drift goes back to his habsuite. He finds a present on the recharge slab, it was a picture of Buddy and Drift at Swerve’s having a mirroring smile on each other’s faces.

Drift smiled softly and placed the photo in one of his subspaces, near and close to his spark, right where it belonged.

Meanwhile with the Maximals

They had stormed the Predacon base earlier in Buddy’s disappearance thinking it was them who had taken Buddy hostage. They, however, soon enough that it wasn’t the Predacon’s doings for once. After some research on the portal’s residue, it turned out it was an outside force that made the portal. But they didn’t have any way of finding it or knowing if Buddy was even online. Enough time had passed, Buddy was confirmed to have been killed in action.

The mood in the ship was heavy.

Primal was doing his best to navigate his team through the tough time. It was never easy to lose someone close to you. Was discussing with the team to finally put Buddy to rest after the time had passed.

Rhinox was sad and upset that Buddy was gone. He feels like he could have gone to the river himself. He was helping Optimus with the preparations for Buddy’s funeral.

Tigatron and Airazor got the news a bit later as they were far away on their patrol routes. Both clinging on to each other for comfort.

Silverbolt and Blackarachnia found out when they got back to the base that day. Both of their comms being broken after an incident with a rocky ledge. Silverbolt was more openly sad about Buddy than Blackarachnia, but she was sometimes seen looking for Buddy in the places they would usually be.

Rattrap and Dinobot are both blaming themselves for not trying harder. Dinobot and Rattrap both find consolation in each other in a way, mainly remembering good times they had with Buddy. Dinobot secretly is making a spark warming speech for Buddy’s funeral. Rattrap tries to keep an eye out for his fellow crewmates, especially Cheetor.

Cheetor was in denial for the first day that Buddy was gone. He was so sure they weren’t gone. Near inconsolable after reality hit him. He was often seen in Buddy’s habsuite crying and talking to them.

The day of the funeral comes around and it’s just them going back to the river and saying their goodbyes.

But fast forward three hours earlier.

Buddy was spat back into the river and crawled back to the shoreline. They are happy that they are home again.

Buddy sees a lovely hidden area and decides a little nap wouldn’t hurt. Who knew dimension travel would be so tiring?

Fast forward to the present time.

Now they are awake and hear the voices of their team. At first Buddy thinks they are imagining the voices. Cautious of it possibly being a Predacon trick. They get up from their hiding place and sneak behind the rocks to see what was going on.

All the team was by the river… for their funeral?!

They weren’t dead!

Quietly they walk over to hear more.

The funeral was wrapping up with Cheetor telling them about his favorite times with them and that he would miss them so much.

“Guess what I’m trying to say is… I’ll miss you Buddy and I love you.”—Cheetor

Buddy was in tears, and accidentally broke the precious moment.

They squeak.

Everyone turns around, some drawing out their weapons. They freeze seeing a very much alive Buddy.

Dinobot sneers at Buddy, telling the others it a Predacon trick for sure. Rattrap demands Buddy tell them something only Buddy would know.

“If you’re really Buddy… then where did Cheetor go patrolling a four weeks ago.”--Rattrap

“You mean where I was patrolling, Cheetor skipped to go race with the other cheetahs and begged me to cover his shift--oops.”--Buddy

Cheetor dropped his blaster and floors Buddy to the ground and starts crying happy tears and holding them tight. Buddy gladly hugs him back just as hard.

Buddy wants to tell everyone of their wild journey across dimensions, but they decide to tell after they are done being beaten to death with hugs and playful scolds.

“Don’t you ever do something like that again!”--Cheetor

“Not planning on it. Oh! I met Rodimus Prime!”--Buddy

“You met who!”--Cheetor

Creatorhood

Masterlist

IDW beast wars or the planet/colony of Eukaris wasn't as focused on as I was expecting.

Still, it gives me a lot of changes to go crazy over a whole new lore and AU.

Let's get it in this way, what could be seen of Eukaris is that they're divided in what they call tribes or clans, most of the mechs and femmes belong to one of the four main tribes depending in their alt mode as in the scale walker tribe (the reptile like ones), the wave walker tribe (the ones that have water oriented alt modes), the cloud walker tribe (the ones that can fly) and the fur walker tribe (the ones with, well, fur, maybe mammals as majority).

And then we've Airazor and Tigatron, a couple of outcast that choose one another in sacred conjunx ritual over their different tribes, which means leaving your tribe or choosing a conjunx of another clan is frowned upon since we can clearly see how Dinobot shut up Tigatron in a harsh manner even when the last one tried to be calm, it can be noticed how Tigatron takes it with such boredom, which shows it's not the first time it happens, and how Airazor reacts (totally and rightfully mad), it's obvious this is an everyday matter and everyone just goes along with it.

It is supposed that like in any other titan colony Eukaris has it's own hot spot, a couple, group or a single mech could go there and have a sparkling, a new spark that is going to take form and live on the custom of their tribe.

What could be the odds to have a sparkling that doesn't belong to their mentors frame or clan?

How would other mechs and femmes act upon this, as in, what would happen if a fur walker has a scale walker? Would the tribe expulse the pair or they would handle the sparkling to the respective tribe even when the mentor is trying to stop it?

That's something that bugs me, in bad manner for sure, especially when I think of Terraformer AU! Cheetor.

Being torn between being happy and terrified by such a joyful occasion, looking at his future cub's spark rest in your hands that starts to bleed, he doesn't care that even the circuits in his servos are exposed when he embraces you to his chest plate, burn skin and charred fur smell reaching his sensible nose and making it ache, still there is happiness that drips along around you, while he nuzzles his face over your head, purring contently when the first bits of protoform start to form around the new spark, his whole clan singing and congratulating you both when the spark gives off it's first pulse in the new body.

He is so happy, so content, he let's you rest with leaves and medicine around your hands, exhausted by the miracle of helping bring new life, mindful of how long it'll take for you to heal back, he'll take things over his own new repaired servos, brushing off any other tribe members that try to help him, taking care of the sparkling that starts to move little servos around, still not showing any discernable face or distinctive feature, but it was okay, his sparkling was supposed to take more time since you, his conjunx endurae, were human.

His happiness is what makes him overlook the first sound his sparkling does with a new formed intake, a hissing sound that takes Cheetor for surprise along with the little fangs, he is in beast form with his sparkling previously recharging over his big and soft paws, promptly cooing over his sparkling and proceed with a very affectionate grooming with his glossa, singing praises of how his sparkling is going to be such a brave warrior and hunter when the first sound out of the voice box is a hiss, such a fearless young cub that is already showing powerful fangs!

He notices, along the next days, how his sparkling likes to be warm than most other sparklings in the tribe, other bots tell him that's normal, but he only takes it as in a big favor to be close to him, close to you, and he can't really take his optics off the image of his little cub in a woven carrier made of vegetable fiber that strings the sparkling to your chest or the way you gently rock your body to get the feisty little fellow to sleep while he bites the woven plants before Cheetor stops the attack, he likes so much to see you carrying the baby, as you called the sparkling.

"Still not choosing a name?" you called out to him, looking how many datapads were scattered around him.

"I want the designation to be as accurate as possible" Cheetor beamed to you, taking advantage of his place seated on the floor to be in perfect place to kiss your neck, sparkling recharging over your little chest, "I'm going to the final round with Earthquake, Lionaxe or Flame claws"

"You aren't sure if bitty here is going to be a feline or whatever else" you laugh wholeheartedly, and in any other occasion Cheetor would've basked in the sound, but you are worried by the face he pulls, "hey, it ain't going to be that bad" you take his helm in your hands, kissing him softly, "dog, elephant, unicorn, whatever comes, we'll be proud" you tell him and he hears you with all his attention, he doesn't even want to think of any other possibility, his sparkling is a fur walker, Cheetor is sure, his feisty little cub.

That's what he says to himself, repeating like a mantra when he wakes up to the feeling of something moving strangely along his midsection just to find a big and long tail moving around the berth, in any other occasion he could be proud, just like when the bitty showed clawed servos that Cheetor proudly compared to his.

He couldn't compare his tail to the one his sparkling had, sleeping soundly while pressed to you in search of your warm body and keeping your beating heart near, in that moment, Cheetor could feel the dreariness of the situation, wake you up with an expression that showed his fear and how a plan was forming on his mind, you could only try to hear his explanation to what was happening, or to be more honest, what was going to happen when others got to see the sparkling.

Everyone noticed, as it seem, the different smell couldn't be covered by his own or yours, the sparkling own EM field reaching out.

"NO!" He cried out loud your name, hearing your own pleads, you calling out to him when a mech of the Scale walker tribe tried to take you away with your sparkling being protected by your soft, vulnerable body, telling you to come along for the benefit of your child, almost dragging you away, "No, please no, Optimus, do something, please!" Eukaris can sometimes be a harsh place, still reigned by old traditions that come from Onyx Prime's time, never once Cheetor questioned it, but now he can only try to move and reach out to you two, his own tribe holding him down and telling him this was for the best, how his cub would be better off within it's own kind and that you, as the carrier, should stay with your sparkling given the little mech's uniqueness.

He couldn't do anything, looking at Optimus, the leader of his clan, with pleading optics, but his great and strong leader could only do so much, his own human cub at his side, looking torn in what was happening and closing his dark eyes when the beastformer started to cry out loud for mercy, crying for his conjunx and his sparkling.

Such a thing have never happened before, sometimes the sparkling did have a different alt mode than the mentors, sure, but that was easily detected from the get go or the very first days, taking the sparkling to the correct tribe if needed.

Cheetor and you had yours for almost a complete solar rotation cycle when you were separated, that didn't change most of it, he was going to be there for his cub, not caring if he had to leave his own tribe behind and take you away from the other, lone groups were a thing, way more exposed to the dangerous environment and the idea of having a sparkling in those circumstances was suicidal, but he was going to get back his family or die trying.

Cheetor was at the edge of entering Megatron's domain when Primal stopped him and gave him another solution that he couldn't believe at first, but he was grateful, so, so grateful when you were returned to him and he could embrace you and his cub again after Primal made the announcement of his decision, leaving the Fur walker tribe and making his very own, one that could be joined by any eukarian that wanted to do so, some fur walkers joined him, most remained, and it was only a matter of time for all the outcasts to join too with a beastformer with the title of Primal.

It was going to be difficult, that was for sure, even finding a new territory was hard, but everything was paying off at the end of the day when he created a new home for you all, way more bigger than before taking in mind how big his sparkling already was, the scale walkers said something about a fast growing process and bigger appetite, but you two would get across the challenge.

"CHEETOR" your voice could be heard from a great distance, making him drop his hunt in the door of the hut and run to you.

"What?! Are you okay?! Something wrong?!"

"The baby changed, a baby snake, lizard, erm, I don't know!"

And maybe old traditions weren't so wrong when you hurriedly call for help when Viperus took a bite on Cheetor's tail and refused to let go, minutes later showing that your baby had poison when your conjunx was as stiff as a fallen log and foam was coming out his intake, still, the scale walkers that joined your outcast tribe helped just in time with their knowledge in poisonous chemicals.

It wouldn't be the last time Viperus poisoned Cheetor, but it was the first time that was unintentional.

Hello again! I have nothing but wips all the time. I did a kind quick sketch turn around of ratchet though. As always 3/4 view makes me weep.

Beast Wars is returning to Japan in a rerun format called Beast Wars Again! Now with new narration by Kappei Yamaguchi, the Japanese voice of Rattrap. Whether it’ll include Beast Wars Metals is unknown, but Silverbolt’s Japanese actor hopes that’s the case. Drawing is based more on IDW Beast Wars, since I was reading it again, but mixed with my own fanon by including Retrax, Iguanus and Laserbeak as characters.

I think every Transformers media that includes Hot Rod/Rodimus should include a nod to the scene in the '86 movie where he's fishing with Daniel. They don’t have to outwardly show it or make it a thing he does frequently. A cameo would be nice, if nothing more

Like yeah he's a bit overzealous. Kinda hot headed. A real speed demon. Likes to burn rubber as much as he likes a good fight. Perhaps he has some anxiety about his role as Prime and his ability as a leader if we're going with Rodimus. He doesn't make the most wise of decisions because he's still a bit wet behind the audio processors within this department but you know what?

Sometimes he goes fishing with The Boys, and that’s okay
