cheetor's forms

personally, i prefer Cheetor's original robot form. the thing is, he is one of 3 characters to change his form in each season, those others being Optimus Primal and megatron, which in a way can be confusing.
i suppose the reason i prefer his original form is because season 1 is the season i watched more often than seasons two and three. you get used to a character: their personality, their quirks, and their image. i guess that being robots, you should expect wierd things to happen, but it's not like you're going to walk down the street and walk into somebody you know and notice they have a whole new body and face! (unless...plastic surgery
). plus, season 1 hosted the very first mergence of transformers with animals, and i loved to see his cheetah head and his spots.
season 2 - cheetor's tm beast mode, though cool, confused me at first. i didn't think he looked like a cheetah very much, but more of a puma...where were his spots? if you looked closely in his beast mode you'd notice there were a few under his tail...hardly somewhere you'd want to look, but here you go...but i didn't realise what that little yellow thing on his chin was when he was in robot mode. it wasn't untill i read it on a website somewhere that i found out it was a goatee!!!
but i did think that the highly enlarged torso (hmm?) and that little thing were a nice touch to the theme of growing up...too bad the show never declared his actual age (in realation to our years or not). but i found the hole in his butt funny!
unfortunately, i havn't seen the feral scream and episodes onwards (but i intend to) so i guess that i can't really comment on that, but from several (hundred) pictures i think it dosn't suit him...but i no i probably have to see the rest of the season. it sux living out here sometimes. can't find bw anywhere, and i can't buy off the net because i don't own a credit card (i'm too young). but i suppoes put this form together with his voice and attitude adjustment it would make more sense to me.
this is completely irrelavant, but what did people think about his form in beast machines? wierd huh?

But his face is so wonderfully expressive. I really like it when he squints or widens his optics, or lifts up an optic ridge. It looks so genuine. (You know, like when he said "Tankor is who?").
