Tigertron
From Transformers Wiki
| This article is about the Playskool Go-Bot. For the prominent Beast Wars character, see Tigatron. |
- Tigertron is a Go-Bot from the Go-Bots portion of the Go-Bots continuity family.
Tigertron's speed and agility are unmatched when in tiger form. Unfortunately, his inexperience keeps him from realizing his full potential.
Toys
Go-Bots
- Tigertron (Mission: Earth, 2003)
- Released in the "Mission: Earth" assortment of the Playskool Go-Bots line (minus the "Transformers" branding), Tigertron is an ever-so-slight retooling of Big Adventures Cheetor, transforming into an orange, white, and light-blue tiger (the molded-in cheetah spots on his beast mode head having been removed). Turning his left arm activates his torso transformation, changing his head from beast to robot.
- Pre-release samples of the toy gave him an extra stripe on his chest not present in the final toy.
- This mold was redecoed into George in Japan, while the original Cheetor mold was also used to make Beast-Bot II and Chuck, and was separately retooled into Preditron.
Notes
- Tigertron had the pre-release name of "Mechanicat".
- The first image of Tigertron that made it to the public was, rather strangely, in a cross-sell on which he was not even listed! Someone apparently forgot to crop him out of the image of Hauler-Bot.
