Catilla (DOTM)

Catilla is anAutobot-alliedMini-ConorMaximalfrom theGeneration 1andUnicron Trilogycontinuity families(via theDark of the Moon toyline).

Don't you want a little Catilla you can call your own? A Catilla who'll be with you when you're all alone?

As a warrior,Catilla(akaKatilla) is no pretender: he's strong, fast, smart, tough and very, very skilled. Perhaps these abilities explain why he doesn't tend to carry all that much in the way of firepower. If he has any flaw as a soldier it's that he's only indifferently brave, it might be best not to depend on him sticking his neck out in a daring reckless bid to save the day.^[1]

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

InAurex 1104.30-JH Zeta,Catilla was one of the Mini-Cons gathered byOptimus Primal's Maximals during theBeast Warson prehistoricEarth.Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/13

Beast Wars: Uprising

Katilla was a member of theResistanceduring theGrand Uprising.By his own admission, he was a middle-of-the-packcybercat,content to let other people take the risks. He didn't like or trustPredacons,despite the Resistancesupposedlybeing pan-factional, noting that once theBuilderswere dealt with, it'd be the Preds next. Funnily enough, most of his Predacon commanders tended to leave quickly, clearly a conspiracy (and not because of Katilla's attitude, no sir!)

Katilla was part of the Resistance fleet who fought at theYuss Straits,and would'cha know it, Scylla put him up-front on theDrydock,the uppity Predacon. In fact, she had left him there as a patsy, to draw their opponentBanzai-Tronin. On attack, Katilla panicked, not sure whether to fight back, defend his ship, or just run for it.

A Builder torpedo took care of the problem for him, by turning Katilla's ship into a fireball big enough to be seen from the shores ofIacon.Derailment
