That thing is so weird and I actually love it, thanks for sharing. Just weirdness all over the place, like calling it a triceratops for not giving it any of the 3 horns that make up the tri part of the name and giving it back scale/plates like a stegosaurus.

So it's instead a "Stegoceratops".

Robosaur Bicerotops looks awesome.

I love the fact the mold allows for a lower jaw but "nope, f**k it, the kids can do without it" attitude.

I don't mind the 'face' or lack thereof. It oozes alien robot.

What is in keeping with G1 era (even today actually) is the box photography showing beige colored shoulders in alt mode but the toy is actually grey. Haha. I love it!

Purple Seaspray is a known variant.

Oh, so this is one of those rumored Hasbro employee Christmas figures then. I remember reading about the Beachcomber one, but checking TFWiki they suggest Seaspray is the same case. But I also see some MOC purple Seasprays on eBay so I guess I'm not actually helping at all.

I am 99% positive a kid from my neighborhood when I was a kid had that Robosaur Brontosaurus. I remember him having a knockoff Sludge that had an orange head. If that's the case, these would have been when the Dinobots came out (1985-1986).

It's hideous.

Tigertrack Across Generations

As Seibertron.com works toward upcoming galleries for Missing Link Sunstreaker and Cordon, it felt like the right time to finally shine a spotlight on Tigertrack. The vigilant yellow Lamborghini Autobot has been waiting in the wings since our 2014 Masterpiece gallery update, and now we complete the circle with three new looks at his history.

A fierce sentry with optics sharp enough to pierce through camouflage, Tigertrack shares his mold with Sideswipe, but his bright yellow deco recalls the Lamborghini styling of Sunstreaker, making him a unique hybrid of the two iconic brothers.

Tigertrack (e-Hobby / G1, 2003)
Originally released in Japan as an e-HOBBY mail-away exclusive, Tigertrack redecoed the G1 Sideswipe mold into a Lamborghini Countach LP500S. Sporting painted tampographs instead of some stickers and a fully functional spring-loaded launcher, he became a sought-after collector's item. This toy closed for pre-order in December 2002 and shipped in late 2003, paying tribute to the yellow Diaclone Countach from the brand's earliest days.

WFC-GS18 Tigertrack (Generations Selects, 2020)
Part of the War for Cybertron: Earthrise Generations Selects lineup, this redeco of Siege Sideswipe included his missile launcher, missile, and Red Alert's electron pulse blaster. Covered in C.O.M.B.A.T. System ports for blast effects, he's ready for battle displays. Interestingly, Hasbro Pulse described this release as inspired by the 2013 Masterpiece Tigertrack, acknowledging his legacy beyond just the e-HOBBY release.

Tigertrack (Universe 2.0 Custom, 2008)
Tigertrack never officially appeared in the 2008 Universe toy line, but fans discovered that by swapping parts between Deluxe Class Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, you could assemble a yellow “what if” version. This same engineering trick also produced Spin-Out from the leftover parts. Though unofficial, this gallery highlights how versatile designer Hisashi Yuki's clever torso-reversal engineering really was — making Tigertrack a natural fit for the mold.

With these three new galleries, Tigertrack's history comes into sharper focus — from rare Japanese mail-away to a modern Generations Selects redeco, and even the “unofficial” fan customs that carried his legacy forward. More than a decade after we first covered him in our 2014 Masterpiece Tigertrack news story, he finally takes his place alongside his brothers in red and yellow. Compare him to Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Masterpiece Tigertrack to see how this vigilant Lamborghini has evolved across generations.
