 This article is about a transforming mecha/companion in Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
|
Cheeda Nick (チダ・ニック Chida Nikku) is the cheetah-type mecha Buddy Roid partner of Hiromu Sakurada. He is a positive thinker, and though a robot, has no sense of direction. Nick acts like an older brother to Red Buster. Also, he is able to transform into a motorcycle for Red Buster to ride into battle (where his face becomes the handle and meter). When fighting in robot mode, Nick can also use his rear wheels as handheld weapons.

Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters[]
Nick gives Hiromu his support.
The Buddyroids lent the Go-Busters their power once again when they returned to save the world during the emergence of Space War God Voldos. Together they transformed into Powered Custom twice, first to protect the Kyoryugers from a possessed AbaRed before being forced back by TyrannoRanger, and again when facing the Deboth Knights. They were knocked out of their Powered Custom by the Knights' combined Deboth Finish, forcing the Go-Busters to fight back without their power. Nick gave Hiromu his support as the latter urged his successor to believe in the friendship of his buddy.

Protector Armors[]
Cheeda Nick can combine with Red Buster, as well as his alternate reality counterpart, Red Cheetah, forming protective armor on their suits.
Red Buster Powered Custom
As Red Buster uses the GB Custom Visor, Cheeda Nick's data transfers and projects onto Red Buster's suit to form a powerful armor based on the "protector" prototypes. Cheeda and Red Buster, to a degree are combined and can teleport swiftly in a puff of red smoke. Red Buster/Cheeda gain the attack "Volcanick Attack" which allows them to manifest as a flaming CB-01 Cheetah that charges toward the enemy.

The Cheeda Nick Key (チダ・ニックキー Chida Nikku Kī) is Cheeda Nick's Buddy Roid Key. The five Buddy Roid Keys were transformed from the gathered Phantom Ranger Keys held by the Gokaigers, with the Cheeda Nick Key having transformed from the Red Phantom Key. When used in GokaiOh, they granted access to the Greater Power of the Go-Busters which allowed the mecha of both the Go-Busters and GokaiOh to use Megazord Keys to transform into past Sentai Robos. TV STORY-Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie
It is unknown if the Buddy Roid Keys can be used by the Gokaigers to change into Buddy Roids, nor is it known what happened to them after their use.

Behind the scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Keiji Fujiwara and Cheeda Nick as seen in the ending sequence of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters Returns vs. Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters.
Cheeda Nick as seen in the opening titles.
Cheeda Nick is voiced by the late Keiji Fujiwara (藤原 啓治 Fujiwara Keiji). His suit actor is Kosuke Asai (浅井 宏輔 Asai Kōsuke), whose previous roles were GoZyuJin and Basco ta Jolokia's true form in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. This is ironic as, while Nick and Red Buster are partners to the end, Basco and Gokai Red were archenemies when the former betrayed the Red Pirates.
Nick was briefly portrayed by Katsuhiro Suzuki (鈴木 勝大 Suzuki Katsuhiro) in Mission 28: Beware of Chickens, when Sprayloid 2 caused Nick's appearance to change into that of Hiromu, though Keiji Fujiwara still provided Nick's voice. His Auto Program voice is provided by Kanako Serano (瀬乃 加奈子 Serano Kanako).
Design[]

Etymology[]
Like the other Buddyroids, Cheeda Nick's name is based on his animal motif and what their animal motif eats with Cheeda's based on the word Cheetah (チーター Chītā) turned into Chida (チタ Chida), and the word Meat (肉 Niku) turned into Nick (ニック Nikku)
Notes[]
- Cheeda Nick is the first character to appear in a Sentai hand-off other than the participating Red Rangers, and the first to accompany his team in their "early-bird cameo". He appears in the hand-off between Red Buster and Gokai Red at the end of the finale of Gokaiger, and in the Go-Busters' early-bird appearance in Gokaiger vs. Gavan. However, on both occasions he only appears in his bike mode rather than his humanoid form.
