    GEE BILL! TWO TIGATRONS!?
    Somehow these ended up finished in the same week. So here's a Minicon Tigatron.


    - Built from...Dust pretty much. This thing is parts from parts with parts mixed in. I don't even know what I'd call the "base figure" here. The chest? The legs?
    - Instead of making a 2nd Minicon Cheetor and painting it as Tigatron, I tried to go for a different mold from the ground up, keeping only the legs&head the same parts.
    - Transforms pretty accurately to the show with the arms folding underneath the beastmode rather than into its back.
    - Overall slightly taller and MUCH bulkier than my Minicon Cheetor.
    - Tail gun chosen to contrast with the Gut Cannon I made for Cheetor. Tabs in via metal pin to the abdomen(beastmode) or in either hand. Tail itself is once again twist-tie wire like Cheetor's, but this one was doubled for a thicker tail.
    - Beast Head is completely made from scratch out of baked clay. Wasn't happy with any options available. Head connects to beast neck or robot chest via a glued-solid twist-tie wire(letting it rotate but not bend). This does mean the transformation involves parts-forming, but I don't mind since the tail already meant partsforming.
    - Ball jointed hips/shoulders/elbows. Individual Torso&Neck swivels, shoulders are also on hinges that let them move in/out(for transformation), beast head&tail are fully articulated.

    Side note : I don't know if I should make a better Airazor Minicon or not. Once I finish up a better Minicon Scorponok/Dinobot, I was going to sell the old versions that I replaced with better versions...So I have a little more time to decide.
