I really hope they don't just recolor Cheetor into Tigatron. Tigatron should be a heavy remold if possible, or an entirely new mold. Tigers aren't cheetahs and with the level of amazing accuracy they have achieved with Cheetor, Optimus Primal and Dinobot, it'd be really disappointing if they recolored Cheetor into Tigatron.
I'm pretty geeked about MP-34S. Shadow Panther was such a cool variant 20+ years ago. Looking forward to adding him to my collection.

Agreed! Even disregarding the differences in real life anatomical proportions between cheetahs and tigers, Tigatron's cartoon model had very different proportions from that of Cheetor, with his limbs, head, and torso all being much thicker and shaped differently, and his overall size being larger and more massive than Cheetor's.Seibertron wrote:mentre83 wrote:Meh.

Nah, it's exactly the same figure. They did cheat a bit with the legs on his back though, photographing him in such a way that the black legs make his torso seem wider.

In the mean time, can someone digibash MP Cheetor with a tiger print?

It looks like either Cheetor cosplaying as Tigatron, or a very young-looking (and disproportioned) Tigatron.steals_your_goats wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:steals_your_goats wrote:Toralite wrote:Really? C'mon where's tigatron?

Tigatron will have different robot and beast heads, and a slightly different fake chest. That's the.

But Takara is pretty obsessed with cartoon accuracy so just a repaint of Cheetor wouldn't work. It would be too small to match his on screen appearance.

While I wish for that, every single experience with reality tells me different. The cartoon models may have been different, but the toys were identical and that gives them precedent. If we are lucky, we will get a Tracks/Road rage level of minor retooling.
Sorry guys, just being a realistic. I hope I'm wrong, but doubt it.
