Ian James Corlett: Cheetor

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  [Two ships fly through a portal, attacking each other] 

  Cheetor : Hull breach in Sector 7! Guidance systems failing!

  Rattrap : Oh, man, this is ridiculous! We're an exploration ship, not a battle cruiser!

  Optimus Primal : We had no choice! Ours was the only ship that could lock on to Megatron's warp signature!

  Cheetor : Shields are doing a major fade!

  Optimus Primal : Plasma cannons to full power!

• [Three speeding cheetahs come to a stop as a giant wasp suddenly appears in front of them. Two of them, frightened by the size of the insect, snarl and run away] 

  Cheetor : Hey! What...? It's just a big bug!... The way those two reacted, that's no natural lifeform... and if we're talking UNnatural lifeforms, then we gotta be talking about just one thing: Robots in Disguise! Cheetor: maximize!

  [transforms into robot mode] 

  Cheetor : Time for this cat to pounce!

• Optimus Primal : We don't have to do this, Megatron! There has been peace between the Maximals and Predacons for centuries! Why start this up again?

  Megatron : Peace perhaps on your side, Maximal scum, yeesss - but not on ours! Permit me to inform you that an enemy that appears peaceful... may in fact be biding its time!

  Cheetor : [repairing his gun]  Finally...

  Megatron : We Predacons have never gone back on our goal of galactic conquest! Nooo - we have merely waited for the right moment to STRIKE!

  Cheetor : You mean like THIS?

  [fires at Megatron] 

  Optimus Primal : CHEETOR!

  Megatron : Ahh, a treacherous, underhanded sneak attack. Oh-ho-ho, I like you, pussycat, yeesss... but it shall avail you not! Nooo! For now the gauntlet has been cast! Predacons: TERRORIZE!

  Optimus Primal : [to the Maximals]  Do it! MAXIMIZE!

• Cheetor : Hey, look at me, I'm a cheetah! No... I'm CHEETOR!

  Optimus Primal : Interesting...

  Cheetor : Interesting? It is SPOT-on SMOOTH!

• Optimus Primal : Damage report.

  Cheetor : Believe me, you don't want to know...

  Optimus Primal : That's what I thought.

• [Cheetor meets two cheetahs for the first time] 

  Cheetor : The name's Cheetor! What's shakin', cats?

  [the cheetahs snarl and run off] 

  Cheetor : What? Is it my breath? Hey, wait!

  [runs to catch up with the cheetahs] 

• Cheetor : Hey, look!

  [points to two cheetahs streaking across the Savannah] 

  Optimus Primal : They're fast, all right. You chose a good form.

  Cheetor : You think THAT's speed, you ain't seen the Golden Rocket! Check this!

  [takes off] 

• [During a battle, Cheetor is pinned down by some rocks] 

  Cheetor : Ahh... I'm stuck!

  Optimus Primal : Rattrap, help Cheetor! We'll cover you!

  Rattrap : Yeah, right!

  Optimus Primal : That's an ORDER, Rattrap!

  Rattrap : Yeah? Well, you can just kiss my skin-rear, 'cause there ain't NO way I'm going out there n' getting MY pelt punctured!

  [With a snort of disgust, Primal goes in on his own] 

• [last lines] 

  Dinobot : Attention, Dinobots! My name is Dinobot! I have left the Predacons to join your group... as LEADER!

  Cheetor : WHAT? Did I hear the word "leader"?

  Rhinox : [to Rattrap]  This guy's got bearings of chrome steel...

  Dinobot : I hereby challenge you, Optimus Primal, to a one-on-one battle! The winner shall lead the Maximals, and the loser shall be destroyed!
