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.
Yes, but the original Cheetor mold is just a generic big cat so it worked fine for both. The MP is very clearly a cheetah in design, there's no way to translate that into a full blown tiger without at least a massive overhaul. Shadow Panther is our lazy repaint for this mold, Tigatron will be something unique (and then probably get a lazy repaint of his own, maybe in his prototype orange).
