    Tigatron is looking GRRRRRRRREAT!!! :D 

    I love that leaping tiger pose, and the way they've created a sense of action in that page. Nice use of all the photos for a great layout!

    Sadly, despite you posting this and even if it's mentioned in the news post when this is front paged, we best brace ourselves for a flood of incoming "upscaled Cheetor" and "more expensive than Cheetor" posts.

    Or maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised and people will pay more attention to info and details this time...
    :lolol

    I don't know what that means.

    Edit: Oh, didn't notice the watermark. I don't know, I copied it from here. You'd need to ask @HolyCulture

    I believe down his back, but it's hard to know until we see it.

    make sense.
    You know, I start to wonder what his gun transform into. Cheetors gun transformed into his beast belly, but for Tigatron, it seems his beast belly transformed into his robot arms. So where did his gun go in beast mode? Anyway, Tigatron really shocked me this time. I do really hope his price is worthy.

    Those arm kibbles are for covering up the tiger chest. 1st BWMP to compromise the bot mode for beast.

    Actually, I'm a fool. Upon closer inspection, the solid white "pit" parts are actually just his feet in robot mode showing through from the robot mode picture. Oops!

    However, I did notice that the legs flip between beast mode and robot mode (left becomes right, right becomes left). The panel on his left calf in robot mode is the mirror to the panel on the left thigh in beast mode, so he does rotate at the waist for transformation. Screen Shot 2020-02-26 at 12.24.39 PM.png

    The "feet" sections are too short. There isn't much room between the toes and the "knee".
    Yup, you can also see that the ankle rocker is not on the outside.

    Tigatron looks so damned good. I absolutely adore these Beast Wars MPs and I can't wait for this guy. Still waiting on some favorites, but I'm super happy to have this guy coming.

    He’s so good looking in both modes. Can’t wait to have him on display with his maximal buddies, especially little cat. I’m dying to get him in hand and try out the brand new transformation :) 

    Who you looking forward to getting next the most?

    I’m continuously getting myself torn between different characters. One minute I really want rhinox and the next it’s inferno but nope next it’s terrorsaur etc

    At this stage I’ll just take anyone now (but please give me a terrorsaur) :p

    Unless you’re actually holding the magazine in your hand, you can’t be 100% sure that’s what it actually says. You’re just looking at a picture of the magazine, so really you’re just speculating. Same as the rest of us.

    If you actually get the magazine, and confirm in hand that’s what it says, then I’ll believe you.

    Obvious the magazine author didn't have the figure in hand. So it can't be trusted!

    People have eyes, and some of them can read japanese.
    I can somewhat read japanese, but I do know it says it's a new mold.

    They actually called the eye moving gimmick "Eye of Tiger."
