Yes. That is why aesthetically they will look similar (in Bot Mode) but the mold involved for MP Tigatron will be larger and not a mere redeco, as per MP Shadow Panther and the original toy.

Beast Wars is a little inconsistent with scale on purpose with the shot looking good taking precedence over scale, so sometimes it's even more pronounced!

This is what we have to work with. They have already broken their own mandate of Show Accuracy though, as MP Blackarachnia is clearly bigger than she should be.

However, it's a crazy new era without rules in the MP lineup so T-Wrecks is what should happen!

Like, this Megatron is expensive because they they won't reuse the mold.
Because the MP Seekers, Datsun brothers, Lambor brothers etc etc exist and more pertinently to MP Beast Wars, MP Shadow Panther exists.
They have known how to recoup the expense of any mold for as long as the series has existed. Rip out the electronics and instantly they have two immediate (and cheaper to reproduce) redecos of Dinobot and Megatron, in Grimlock and T-Wrecks respectively.
Without any real effort at all, they are free to re-release the two most expensive figures of the Beast Wars line to date. From a business standpoint, how could they not capitalise on that opportunity?
