    I'm hoping TT built Tigatron well. I look forward to seeing the little improvements here and there made over Cheetor.

    "Little improvements" in that it's an entirely new mold, haha?

    He looks spectacular. And "new Beast Wars information" sounds promising! Announcing the next figure in the line, if we're lucky?

    Sure, it's a new mold, but a lot of the core-engineering looks very similar to Cheetor and I'll be happy to see what they improved over Cheetor's mold.

    That’s not a newly acquired toy in hand. That’s a prototype from Takara themselves. The exact same one we’ve seen again and again. It has G3A033 on the side of the helmet.

    not unappreciative of the post, but lots of people will think this is a new in hand product. We still have 2 days to go sadly.

    There is zero core engineering similar to cheetor. Someone here has it in hand and most of us know who it is. That person has stated that the transformation is 100% different. Completely. Nothing the same. But some parts are molded to look like cheetor on purpose.

    Im really excited to finally get this cat in my mitts

    God damn this looks good.

    Just can't justify the pricetag. Still, wow.

    None of the core engineering is similar. Tigatron actually Transforms “upside down” compared to Cheetor with no shared elements. Even the legs are completely different. He shares as much engineering with Cheetor as he does with Megatron.

    Considering the quality of the BW KOs I wouldn’t.

    Especially since they never did figure out how to do the “printed textures.”

    Interesting there isn’t a 25th anniversary logo on the packaging... the 20th logo lasted from like 2015-2018, so I thought he would get a jump on it.
    Wonder if they plan on having something similar to the Thrilling 30 for Kingdom...

    He\'s perfect!

    Please do a Masterpiece Transmetal Cheetor.

    P.S. Come to think of it, do ALL the Beast Wars characters as Masterpieces. I\'m looking at YOU Inferno!

    I got three KOs from Beast Wars, Megatron, Dinobot and Shadow Panther.
    Shadow Panther is totally fine, his paint is good enough, the joints are a bit looser but not loose enough for it to be a problem
    Dinobot has pretty bad legs and the horn thing is kinda bent, but he still gets the job done
    Megs has slightly different colors than the real one and has really tight joints, but is still really good.
