Weird Transformers: Prime question

Post by Metal Vendetta » Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:07 am

So my buddy brought me back a Russian Transformers Prime comic recently, which is kinda cool (I love how "Megatron" looks in cyrillic, for example) and it came with a little sealed pack of trading cards. Most of them have regular, y'know, Transformery stuff on them, like Prime, Megatron, Miko, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Cybertron etc. but one has a picture of an anthropomorphised cat in a sort of flight suit/jump suit wearing one of those caps with a little propeller on top.

Now I've watched Transformers Prime through a couple of times and I don't remember seeing a sort of cartoon cat thing in a cap, but I was painting my Blood Angels while I was watching it so this could be something I missed. As far as I can translate it, its name is "Something cat" which isn't particularly helpful to search for. This pic itself looks vaguely Japanese - is it maybe from an anime that exists within the show? I don't recall Jack, Raf and Miko watching cartoons but again, it's possible I was concentrating on a particularly detailed pauldron at the time.

Anyway, has anyone else seen this or knows what it is?
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Can you post a pic of it?

I'm not good with Prime, but someone will be...

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

I've been meaning to dig out the scanner for a couple of days now (need the cover of The Complete Works Part 2 and an example of an old UK Fact File Interface for the wiki) so I'll scan it in and see if anyone can identify it. It's just such a strange anomaly within the set and I can't find a reason for it.

I recently marathoned the whole of Prime and I don't recall anything that sounds like that.

I've read that Rescue Bots is set in the same universe as Prime, but is more cartoony and aimed at a younger audience. I've not seen it but maybe it's from there?
