    It’s not much but I think this is the first glimps
    Of Tigerhawk.. from a video I saw on Facebook showcasing toys from companies like cang toys, jiangxing and TFC. C7302FB0-C5E8-4D86-A9D9-1F4AB9418C04.png

    The head looks a lot like Transmetal Cheetor's Beast Mode head to me.

    So I’ll include some images as to why I think this is Tigerhawk not Cheetor because I agree the head is similar.. so those large hoop things on the 3D model I think is where the wings will go.. if you look at the red arrow on the screen got you can see t looks to be a similar shape where the wings start from the body and then the green arrows point to that back panel looking think that looks again to be very similar in both images. Not a lot really for me to go off but because of that I reckon it’s Tigerhawk

    I also think it looks like Cheetor. I honestly cannot make out any similarities between the pics with the arrows.

    Same. I can't even tell what I'm looking at in that second pic.
    Dang, that's some cool art!

    Took me a minute, but its from the scene where the blue-bulbed arachnoids stun TH so Tarantulas can captire him. It's ths shot of the one about to attach to his butt. So the arrow is pointing to his back beneath the wings.

    Yeah sorry the image is super low res so it is difficult to see. But yeah that blue looking think on his back I think is meant to be the back panel thing on the 3D model

    You know what- I think the man’s right gosh darn it! We’ve got an actual real life updated bit of news here!!

    Tigerhawk is by far the character model I'm least familiar with so I know very few of the details but, despite my first in long being that it looks like TM Cheetor, nothing else lines up with his body and I’d trust the guy with TM Cheetor as his avatar to recognise if it was in fact the little cat.

    I’m gonna guess that the pegs circled in green will be where the beast mode legs go and the red-circled hole will be where the wings will eventually be attached. Of course they could slot into the rings but that doesn’t seem particularly secure.

    Ha. I would have done well to still choose green and red so accurately if I was. Guess I saw a green peg so gave it a green circle. I’ll amend.

    No worries. I actually thought for a sec you meant you were colourblind but then I figured you’d done well to use red and green In your post so something must be afoot.

    Back to the figure, I think I’m right that the DEFINITELY GREEN AND NOT RED peg will hold the tiger front legs/robot legs. That section is attached to some panels which appear to fold down over themselves which would align the peg section under the waist to become bot legs.
    I wish Tigerhawk had just a tad more green highlights to bring out a greater minty fresh Tigatron resemblance. At least he got better recognition than the Airazor.

    Found a really decent pic of the big guy so I’ll share it so we can all familiarise ourselves more with him in preparation of criticising any additional updates. :p

    If that is Cheetos, shouldn't there be a split in the head?

    Did Chester have a split head?

    But seriously, the render clearly isn’t done yet.

    Clearly. 16 months since his announcement and this appears to be the current extent of the progress. I guess we’re still at least another year away from release.

    Going over that picture I posted I noticed just how much greebling there is on this guy so it’d be amazing if JX manages to have all that as part of the sculpt. Just like megatron, his colour scheme is pretty uniform and simple so those details will be quite necessary to keep him from looking bland.

    Great scan, where did you find it? Or was it only this picture you found?

    Tigerhawk and TM Cheetors heads do look similar. TH looks like he has a shorter snout plus the proportions of the torso compared to the head are a give away.

    Thanks for the perfect image of TH

    I hope JX found the same image. I’m sure they’ve done more research than me. I just googled and followed some images around till that one popped up somewhere on Facebook.

    Will we still be getting this work of art after they started cracking down on 3rd party figures
