Japanese like having big chesticles on their figures, makes you wonder if they will do that for this Arcee toy?

 

I see no mold on toy figure looks ok I still can’t help to see long look and first glance all I see cheetor with new head and repainted body it’s all I see I don’t see tigratron.

And arcee my gosh arcee master piece figure in bot mode she externally skinny with big chest bigger than her head glad to see finally she getting attention but her bot mode transformer with implants her car mode is great but grey door sticks out out it doesn’t blend in with pink color, glad they included her wheel spike from animated movie will arcee have rotating face for her visor mode in animated movie she had, her gun looks small from screen shot in movie it look like arcee is holding little cricket

 

What the hell are you trying to say? might wanna do a second draft on this sentence.
Anyhow it's a new mold, just look how much bigger he is than Cheetor.

 

Can you... not see the prominent height difference between Cheetor and Tigatron somehow?

 

It’s like SS starscream and legendary evasion Optimus guys. Basically the same exact mold just blown up and changed a bit.

Despite japan loving them, it’s somehow one of the things they seemed to have screwed up here

 

Hey weird thought, how big is Takara's presentation compared to last year's?

 

Probably nothing like most Japanese citizens. They are pretty a-sexual at this point with concerns for future population.

 

Will there be a chance for MPMs?

Welcome to the future, where TT is making OSKOs of thier own molds!

what\'s the over-under that Tigatron cost anything in the ballpark of an OSKO?

 

On top of being a lot bigger, his chest, legs and arm guards also transform differently. They definitely share some engineering but quite a lot of it has been changed up  
Very exciting!

 

Tigatron looks awesome, I feel we need more pictures of the actual Arcee because whatever the hell the plastic thing that is on top of her image makes her breasts look like they’ve been smashed from all sides.

 

Which example are you referring to?

 

^This. He’s got some new stuff on him yes, but you’re still basically looking at a blown up recolored Cheetor with different head and chest. I can literally hold my Cheetor up next to the better Tigatron photo and see that nearly everything is the same.

 

Noooooooo I refuse to admit they shelved it. We still have an hour or two until it starts, right?

 

Check out his beast mode legs, they transform wholly different from Cheetor. They look very involved. They also reworked the chest transformation so Tigatron does not have a faux chest in robot mode. He also has additional kibble on his arm guards. Of course the tiger and cheetah body proportions are all completely different as well.

It also appears that his beast mode lower back and tail don't turn into a weapon but instead fold into his back in robot mode.

The size difference alone would require 100% new steel molds.

There might be some shared engineering but that was to be expected for 2 characters that looked so similar in the show.

For more analysis on the transformation, head on over to the MP Tigatron thread. Lots of good stuff!

 

Given how expensive it is to create new molds in general, I have a hard time believing that Armada Optimus was shelved indefinitely.
