CatSCAN


 * CatSCAN is an Autobot from the Universe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Formerly a medical computer’s artificial intelligence program, CatSCAN was given a corporeal form by Apelinq. Compassionate, gentle and childlike, he struggles to understand his new existence and the universe around him. His speech and mannerisms are odd and stilted, but he's slowly learning to be an individual, with respect for all life.

Hurt one of his charges, however, and he'll demonstrate that he might not like to hurt people, but he's learned how to "wreck and rule" pretty damn quick when the situation demands it.

Expanded Universe

 * CatSCAN (Deluxe, 2002)


 * One of several BotCon 2002 exclusives, CatSCAN is a redeco of the Beast Machines "Night Slash" Cheetor mold, transforming into a robotic cheetah. Each bicep contains a spring-loaded flip-out scimitar. His chest has some weird flip-around gimmick thingy, who knows what it does. He features some glow-in-the-dark paint applications, which is rare and incredibly awesome.

Trivia

 * The "SCAN" part of "CatSCAN" doesn't actually stand for anything. When asked at BotCon 2002, Glen Hallit struggled to remember what it might have stood for at one point in development, but it had ultimately been decided to drop that angle.
