#as a child I had one about African cats that I’d watch on repeat

Hey hey real quick weird question, if you don't mind.

So Dropmix is a lion

Cometeater is a panther

What animal would you compare the twins to??

Just wondering for a doodle

Oooooooo…. I see Dropmix as more of a tiger simply because they are freakishly territorial. But I also can sometimes think about him as a lion. I just jump between the two. You do whatever you want. Sorry.

Okay wait… if we’re just using big cats because I feel like that’s the safest option (idk why but everything else doesn’t seem to fit right for them…. Like they aren’t arrant enough? Something about big cats just feel arrogant to me) and the other two are.

You’ve gotta hear me out on this one, they’re like cheetahs.

But not just cause I see them as little speedy guys (idk I just feel like they would love racing, especially with their alt modes because they didn’t have one in the pits) but like…

Male cheetahs form little bands with their brothers. They’re called Coalitions and you have to be a brother to be included. They usually only have 2-3 members in this and it improves their success rate in hunting and protecting their territory.

They are only semi friendly towards females in heat, otherwise everyone else’s can get away. So it’s not like they are social beyond that. But they are extremely reliant on eachother in hunting and stuff. They work as a close knit unit and live in unison. They’ve got great teamwork skills…

Do you see where I’m going with this?

Because like… we got the twins who need each other (demonstrated by Sunstreaker’s breakdown) and then their third adopted brother. Usually cheetahs don’t adopt others into the group but like. Whatever.

They also have the ability to purr, though they can’t roar or anything. And their claws are unable to retract to help them with running…. These aren’t really important, just thinking thoughts lol.

Anyway they are cheetahs because we haven’t let them get attached to anyone beyond their brothers and “I guess Comet likes you so we’ll tolerate you”

I may be wrong. Or maybe it doesn’t match as much as I feel like it does. I’d love to hear your thoughts
