Figure isn't without it's flaws, but the greatest trick Takara pulled off with this guy was making people think it was mostly just an upscale of Cheetor, when in reality, they went to some very interesting lengths with the engineering to pull off that illusion. The end result might LOOK like Cheetor, but the parts and engineering are a huge departure from Cheetor's.
That’s what I thought, that they went with Tigatron as the next character because they just needed to upscale the Cheetor mold and give it a new head, but I’m happy to see they used the additional size of this character to create a new mold with much better engineering
"And with everyone's favourite purple dinosaur, with Megatron." **cue brokenhearted Barney walking away in the background to the sound of the 70's Incredible Hulk sad piano music**
"Wherever your Spark goes.... Mine will find yours..." I always loved how spiritual Tigertron was... i really hope they make an MP Airazor so Tigertron can be beside his love...
I agree, but it would also be cool if they make Masterpiece versions of their Transmetal looks. Plus, I think that Snowstalker still lived on through Airazor.
Airazor would have to tie for most difficult to engineer, right up there with Terrasaur. So much of both their Beast Modes just literally disappear into the void thanks to cutting edge 90's cgi.
@@Freak80MC I can see it being 90% Panels folding up and it being a literal brick in Beast Mode. Im wondering if Airazor will ever get a go. At least Terrosaur had some kibble on him. Airazor had nothing.
Admittedly neither did I, though that was probably due to having not been born yet (though did still see bits as a baby before growing up on RiD and then G1 so it is still pretty damn formative)
When i see cartoon , i think Cheetor will be her boyfriend . BUT NO ! Need give her stupid doggy-bot , like says Waspinator , Silverbot :-( Personally i hate this bot because he : first - bad pilot , second bad shooter and finally he trying be like Optimus analog . Forgive me people but he don't like me !
I’m pleasantly surprised Tigatron isn’t just a heavy remold of Cheetor. I honestly thought he would’ve shared the same transformation with just a bit more bulk for the beast mode but they REALLY changed his engineering to make him incredibly different but still keep the super similar look
@@KameRiderGeatsfeverzombie I hope they don't make it a repaint due to how Tigatron was larger than Cheetor and Tigatron was a different type of cat than Cheetor who was a cheetah.
While we don't have any images to confirm it, we did get a list of Kingdom releases that leaked a few months back. I heard about it on one of the other Transformers RUclips channels. It included a voyager class Tigatron. In fact, the leak indicates we're getting the entire season 1 Maximal lineup. The only Predacons missing were Tarantulas, Terrorsaur, and maybe Inferno. With G1 being mixed in, it's hard to tell from a list If we're getting a voyager class Beast Wars Inferno or a repaint/remold of Earthrise Grapple for G1 Inferno.
I remember when I was a kid, Tigatron was my first Beast Wars character. And now too see them make this so screen accurate as if you just pulled him out of the TV and frozen in time. I'm thinking of getting this guy. Lol I can't get over that eye feature! More like he drank too much coffee and it was too strong 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Definitely getting this guy for sure
Tigertron is 1 of the coolest characters in "Transformers: Beast Wars" I'm glad Takara made a Masterpiece figure of him and exactly as in "Beast Wars" cartoon! By the way the orange eyes are also use to make Tigertron's beast mode eyes glow at night just like in the show.
I love how you use the Bionicle Skrall character as sort of a mascot for the intros I know it had a different name from the other skinnier Skrall but i don't remember it honestly xD
I really want rhinox and waspinator masterpiece to recreate that one battle in Stone hendge with rhinox machine gun shooting at waspinator.the machine gun went for a while.
Good looking figure overall. The backpack hangs out a bit more than the CGI model did, but it's not bad. Only real complain is the arm kibble. Would have been nice if it could have compressed a bit more, because it's quite large. Could have had a hinge that split the main section so it could fold in on itself a bit more.
Tigatron was one of many reasons why i enjoyed Beast Wars so much! Where the rest of the Maximals and Predacons mostly use their beast modes to cover themselves from the Energon, this wise white feline uses both modes equally, because he feels he is both beast and bot. So yeah, i'm really glad that they did my job such justice in terms of appearance and posability in both forms, even with those big creepy eyes in his chest. O_O
It’s Finally Here I Patiently Waited And As For The Megatron Head I Believe It’s Actually Able To Switch it With The Light Up Head I Saw It On Other Reviews
Thx for the review emgo! I kid u not u made me like transformers. I found ur channel at the age 4. Im 10 rn,so im a huge fan. I love that you always bring a laugh and smile but while still doing your job. Keep up the god like work 😃
So I got the 4th party version of this release that just came out. It was available through ShowStore Z. I had it pre-ordered, but it released shortly after pre-order came out and amazingly enough coming from China, it only took 8 days to get here. It shipped on Jan. 8th and arrived today (16th). I think I paid like $5 / $10 for the upgraded shipping option. Anyways, this version is pretty much flawless, I have no paint issues or any noticeable issues of any kind. Both striping and metallic pain is perfect. I will say that the joints are extra tight, so moving some of the smaller pin joints, you have to be careful. The fingers are especially tight, but I've had no breaks and for me I prefer tighter joints, because they will loosen over time due to usage.
Ooooh, I didn't realize there was a lock for the back legs. I was wondering why mine was being a pain. I hope I didn't break it earlier. 😆 I ended up ordering one again when BBTS had him back in stock.
Can't believe it took me this long to realize that the green eye in the Beast Wars Logo is Tigatron's eye. I was half expecting this to be an upscaled version of Cheetor but it's practically a new mold.. I grew up with Beast Wars so I'm all in for the BW MP line. Sacrifices have to be made for the benefit of robot or beast mode so I'm okay with that. Maybe some 3P company can design some more realistic looking Tiger cankles.
Honestly who really displays there transformers in alt mode (unless you have duplicates or it's a repaint) especially the beast formers (unless it's the dinobots or the robot mode is a beast)
Yeah, beast wars was weird, but I still loved it! :D there where many weird things about that show, but the thing i thought was the weirdest was CHEETOR and TIGATRON'S "GUT GUN" AND "BUTT BOW" XD
Give us some predacoooooooons, I hope the next figure will be Terrorsaur, although I don’t envy the designers for the task they have at hand with making that character model transform, but if they could make dinobot happen I think there’s very few character they can’t pull off
@@akmalfakhruddin7285 I’m thinking the same thing, it would definitely be the easiest move since he could just be a slightly bigger, retooled version of the Blackarachnia mold and it would be perfectly fine in this case
When you first showed the beast mode, my first thought was "it's a retold of cheetor". But then you did the side by side and I saw the differences. How much did it feel like a remold?
You'd think Hasbro would make more mold changes so his rear looks more natural like Cheetor's and not have a good sized chunk missing! I'm hoping for 3rd party Cheetors and/or Tigatrons start appearing...
Emgo, there's a ratcheted abb crunch you can use by lifting the upper body at the waist first slightly, just like the masterpiece beast wars dinobot, except ratcheted :D
Thank you for inspiring me to make my own you tube videos it might be gaming but still you were the first you tuber I ever watched pls Emgo keep up the good vids and thank you
@@emgo316 Absolutely, hahaha! That "garden hose up the butt" comparison to level 5 was hilarious! How has that been working out for you lately (just out of curiosity)? And thanks for the comment back btw, I was not expecting that!
I honestly thought they were just gonna heavy lll modify it with the cheetor figure because imo he looks like cheetor but with a different animal and different colors.
The original toys were the exact same mold just with different colours to make them slightly different animals. Fun fact: The BW toy 'Wolfang' was supposed to have the roll that Tigatron played in the cartoon, however animators found it both easier and cheaper to simply modify the pre-existing Cheetor robot model to save on budget costs instead of creating an all new model, so they went with Tigatron instead. All of the season 1 characters had 3 CGI models each (One for robot mode, one for beast mode and the last was one they could mess around with for the transformations) that's why it was just eaiser to upscale and edit Cheetor's model. That's also the main reason they look similar in the show. The toys on the other hand were both the same mold as I said before.
@@FOCS27 yea haha. But I still bought it because it’s beast wars and I love beast wars. I cannot wait for Masterpiece Rattrap and Masterpiece Silverbolt.
Tigatron/Cheetor robot mode comparison update linked in description :)
You forgot? How dare you forget! How dare you! GRRR! GRRR!

True, it's just pretty sad the tiger head doesn't tab in in robot mod
*mode
@@walkerspectre The tiger head does technically tab in, but the armature it's attached to is also with the head which plugs into the torso
@@chadderbug7587 ok but what i mean is that it isn't a solid connection

I love Beast Wars it was basically my G1. I hope we get Scorponok or terrasaur as the the next figure
There is a 3rd party scorponok at the showz store that is in development, it looks really good tbh
Waspinator
I'd would honestly like to see the transformations done with todays animation
Terrasaur seems like the next impossible transformation but after Dinobot who the hell knows what black magic Takara can pull out of it's sleeve
@@Freak80MC I can see it being 90% Panels folding up and it being a literal brick in Beast Mode.
Im wondering if Airazor will ever get a go. At least Terrosaur had some kibble on him. Airazor had nothing.
It is nice to see more Masterpiece "BEASTIES" coming out...I admit, when it first came out, I didn't catch onto the show at first
Admittedly neither did I, though that was probably due to having not been born yet (though did still see bits as a baby before growing up on RiD and then G1 so it is still pretty damn formative)
Never EVER use that name lol.
When you lifted the top of his head to show off the eye movement all I could think of was him seeing the big firebird nicee figure you reviewed
Blackarachnia: my eyes are up here!
Tigatron: my eyes are right there!
I think Cheator would most likely do that sort of thing, considering at one point he had a crush on her.
When i see cartoon , i think Cheetor will be her boyfriend . BUT NO ! Need give her stupid doggy-bot , like says Waspinator , Silverbot :-( Personally i hate this bot because he : first - bad pilot , second bad shooter and finally he trying be like Optimus analog . Forgive me people but he don't like me !
G1 silverbolt is best
I'm so glad he's not simply a repainted and slightly bulkier Cheetor mold. The eye-popping (because that's what it reminded me of) was hilarious.
I’m pleasantly surprised Tigatron isn’t just a heavy remold of Cheetor. I honestly thought he would’ve shared the same transformation with just a bit more bulk for the beast mode but they REALLY changed his engineering to make him incredibly different but still keep the super similar look
Emgo's sound efffects when he was changing the faces and when he opened the tiger's face were ON POINT !!!😂
I am really hoping that we get a Tigatron in the kingdom line to go with Cheetor.
There probably will be but it's will be a repaint of cheetor
@@KameRiderGeatsfeverzombie I hope they don't make it a repaint due to how Tigatron was larger than Cheetor and Tigatron was a different type of cat than Cheetor who was a cheetah.
We are getting one. It was in the listing of the kingdom figures, and it’s not a repaint because it is a voyager figure

Same here. We need a collection video.

Haha same!😁

When Tigatron gets released for Kingdom I will definitely have Robot mode Airazor sitting on his back while he is in beast mode if possible.
The part where you do the eyes!! Is Hilarious!! You’re like “Ahhhhhh!” Lol cracked me up...
I forgot just how much I loved Tigertron's color scheme... love the metallic blue-green
It’s Finally Here I Patiently Waited And As For The Megatron Head I Believe It’s Actually Able To Switch it With The Light Up Head I Saw It On Other Reviews

@@DetectiveBarricade dang it :/ I thought I was onto something
This guy handles the legs way better than cheetor does.
7:40 Belly scratches are now part of the transformation
If the tail breaks on anyone else's I recommend gluing it in the robot-mode position so it doesn't get in the way.
Impressive. I confess that from the photos I thought it was just and upscale MP Cheetor with some re-molding
It always disturbed me a little how Cheetor's and Tigratron's gun looked like it's made of ACTUAL GUTS!
I really want to see Masterpiece Rhinox and Kingdom Rhinox.
What we really need is a new Fuzor Silverbolt from either Masterpiece or Kingdom
I think this would be a better Black repaint than the cheetor mold.
3:48 this is what happens if you eat too much energon
The eyes are what nightmares are made of
I wasn't expecting him to be bigger than Cheetor! :O
He is big cat
Why not? He's bigger than Cheetor.
@@GraemeGunn My memory of the show is kinda fuzzy
Well they are both fuzzy.😂
When you showed the eyes that's an Automatic THUMBS UP for me! 😸
Gotta love Tigatron!!
i will never look at tigertron the same now thanks for that emgo316
This makes me want an MP Airazor.
Honestly who really displays there transformers in alt mode (unless you have duplicates or it's a repaint) especially the beast formers (unless it's the dinobots or the robot mode is a beast)
3:35 is that what happens when you treat energon as caffeine? 😂
"I WILL NEVER BLINK!!!!"😂😂😂

Great figure! Now all we need is an AIR RAZOR Masterpiece figure and he will be complete! :D XD
"Ahhhh, the air is sweet today. I wonder if Cybertron can match such natural beauty.."
Silly emgo, tigers don't slide, they swing
They need to make an MP Silverbolt, Black Arachne needs her man

Also, WHY IS PRIMAL SO SMALL!?!
Primal was kinda small in the show compared to most of the maximals.
This looks so good. It almost looks like it was pulled right from the show
This was my dad's favorite back in the day!
Emgo, there's a ratcheted abb crunch you can use by lifting the upper body at the waist first slightly, just like the masterpiece beast wars dinobot, except ratcheted :D
This legit surprised me, and it was a hard pull to make at that level.
How are you doing Emgo316
