Chak and Una were traveling with the anthropoid with Dinobot's club and an older primate when one of Megatron's Cyber raptors attacked them. Oldy was picked off, and Chak and Una were separated from the group in the scatter. Optimus Primal and Silverbolt saved them, but the other members of the tribe had already fled. Cheetor and Blackarachnia were sent to lead them back to their tribe. Una thought that Blackarachnia was cool. Little girl has some weird choices in role models. However, Tarantulas, Waspinator, and three Cyber raptors attacked them. Optimus and Silverbolt arrived to save the day again, and Blackarachnia took a shot intended for the kids. She maintained that she slipped. However, the guy with the club arrived and showed the Maximals that they needed to destroy the raptors' control parts. Chak and Una were returned to their family and the Maximals went home, as Tarantulas and Waspinator tried to pull themselves out from under the dead raptors. Cutting Edge

Later, Cheetor took to teaching the children basic tool use as a way of helping them develop. Una was a very fast learner, so much that Megatron decided that she would be useful in helping the Predacons build their disruptor cannon. Una was kidnapped, though she managed to make Waspinator come apart after transportation, and was used to finish the repairs on the cannon. Rattrap was able to rescue Una, but not before she took a needed stabilizer crystal from the cannon. (She thought it would make a really nice hair pin.) The disruptor exploded, and Una went home. Go with the Flow

After the destruction of the Darksyde, Chak and Una were playing when Inferno and Quickstrike attempted to secure the anthropoids' cave dwellings as their new "colony". As the adults defended their home, Una took a club and began bashing the head of the recently scrapped Waspinator. Nemesis Part 1 After the Maximals departed Earth, the anthropoids celebrated Waspinator's ascension as their leader with a ritual feast, during which Una used Quickstrike's decapitated head as a ceremonial mask. Nemesis Part 2

Una was frolicking with her kin before the anthropoids decided to exile Waspinator from their tribe. The Catalyst

Beast Wars: Uprising

Serving aboard the Spooky Action at a Distance and patrolling the border of the Allowed Zone, Una and Chak were present when Captain Blix reported that the probability of war on Cybertron had shot up from 7% to 96% and that they would need to be more vigilant. She later smugly beat Chak at chess while commenting that the immediate crisis on Cybertron had passed. Intersectionality

When it was found that the Rosetta Stone was on Cybertron, Una and Chak were sent to collect it and acted like entitled arses for the entirety of their stay on Cybertron before Stiletto and Rampage put them in their place. After securing the stone, Una said that the humans might be able to help the Maximals and Predacons after the War, Stiletto was unimpressed. Cultural Appropriation

By the 25th century, Una had come to command The Problem of Infinities and discovered evidence that the Shi-Lai had violated the Treaty of Prysmos. The ship was saved by the Rusty Mace which Una skeptically sent over Ne'll to help repair. The Inexorable March

Notes

• Given their recurring role, Chak and Una are the closest thing Beast Wars has to token children characters.
• Una is named after Oona from the Legend film. This reference works in conjunction with Chak being named after Jack of the same film. Many years later, Blix and Screwball were later named in reference to other characters from the film.
