Nitro (Transformers)

The Nitro are an Decepticon and Alien from the Transformers universe.
Generation 1
Nitro is a six-limbed creature roughly analogous to a cat from the planet Brobdingnag. He belongs to Aron, a young, timid boy. Because everything on the planet is scaled up, Nitro is more than big enough to use Soundwave as a chew toy.
The Transformers cartoon
When a group of startled Transformers arrived in Aron's room, Nitro immediately began stalking a blue and white one, chasing it across the floor. He soon caught his prize, only to have it taken away by his master. Undeterred, he stalked a group of Autobots hiding in Aron's building set and then helped Aron capture Ravage. Aron's parents then came to investigate the smell of smoke, and Nitro gave away the Autobots' hiding place in a desk drawer. Sometime later, the Autobots were able to hitch a ride on Nitro to get back into Aron's room. Perceptor was able to come up with a plan to return the group of Autobots to Earth, however once preparations were made, the Decepticons attacked and took Bumblebee hostage. Perhaps sensing a chance to redeem himself, Nitro pounced on them, freeing Bumblebee but sending the Decepticons into the teleport beam and back to Earth. Fortunately the Autobots were able to modify Aron's toy rocket, and the boy and his pet watched them streak off into the sky.
