I regularly transform all of my MP back and forth, taking turns posing them in both modes. Yes, even blackarachnia who just yesterday was transformed into spider-mode.
I transform my figures at least 20 times back and forth within the first week of getting them. For me, the fun is in the transformation and I'm no longer too concerned about paint wear. If they're any durability issues, you'll be sure to hear about them from me. (^.^')
Currently all my BW MPs are in beast mode, even Blackarachnia who's just so solid. Tigatron will spend a good while in 'Bot mode for sure, but I honestly predict he'll spend a lot of time as a tiger considering that's what he's happiest as. :3
I mean, I'm already imagining poses where cheetor in bot mode rides Tigatron. It will add to my series... I'm thinking Cheetor saddled on Tigatron, gun pointing in the air, arm waving like a cowboy
I meant to say... when he was sent to that farm upstate to live with all the other transforming dinosaur robots. (^.^')
I see the pre-order price at BBTS is over $200 - why so much for this one, it is not as big as some of the other MPs is it?
It is the third largest MP BW and the third most expensive. But also, in general, they have been going up in price
I think Beast mode will be his default look because that's who he is and I like a tiny bit of alt mode representation in a display.
I was a little leery about the price but all this speculation about Tigatron’s engineering has reminded me why I continue to buy MP. He’s been pre-ordered with confidence
