Same story with nightbird the siege GS was so subpar, and just yesterday I found her Takara Legends at believe it or not a flea market. I don’t think the vendor realized what they had so I got it for a decent price. She’s so much better than her siege counterpart. Honestly she makes me consider getting the MP because I like the esthetic. Although a properly realized action figure would be so much cooler in my opinion.
Honestly, I have to disagree. Much of the review leans towards complaining and bitching, something I hate in reviews. Same reason I dislike MandR and other extremely passionate toy reviewers, and prefer people like Jang and The Lazy Eyebrow. As a casual fan of Transformers myself, none of the main complaints he has matter to me. The gut gun not being able to store doesn’t matter much, the butt flap is actually nice for me because of my background in liking Gundam and mecha, the arms posing “poorly” with the back wings isn’t that important for the dynamic poses I want to do, and the minor inaccuracies just don’t matter to me.
Just for the sake of clarity, he didn’t beat out every figure released last year. Odds are the vote was between him and like 4-5 other figures, I’d assume that the other options were either his wave mates or a random selection of figures released that year.
Actually, it was a vote between him and every other figure in the kingdom line. I personally voted for beast wars Megatron. So he had actually like 30 competitors.

I noticed the shoulder issues on the Kingdom Cheetor, and you can half get around it by pushing the shoulders forward. You still get all the range, but you have to work all three joints (rotator cuff, shoulder, and bicep) together for *any* movement in order to not break the sculpt. They could have done a double joint or even a *slider* to fix this, but YOLO I guess.
I think it’d be cool to see a Tigatron and Airazor that combine duocon style into Tigerhawk. It would have been hard, but the payoff would be amazing. I find it weird how fans and people in the community come up with better ideas than Hasbro lol.

Happy new year perspective. This figure is such an oddity for me. The details are great! The paint is great! Then you have all the issues you brought up and yeah, it’s so weird. I can’t stop looking at it on my shelf but I also wanna Chuck it
Sorry to hear you are so conflicted, but at least it's not a catastrophe like some other figures, like they weren't tryign to cheat us this time. And Happy New Year!

@@PerspectiveEnd you’re very right about that. I mean this is the same year we got Studio Series Grimlock. Edit: 86 Grimlock. I forgot Age of Extinction Grimlock existed for a bit. And I wish I could forget again.
Side note I’ve never seen an inferno in stores, I feel like distribution is very uneven with the voyagers, most Walmart’s in my area just haven’t had voyagers period yet they have like 3 rodiumus primes… piss
And yes I do still think tigatron is the best maximal figure, the only figures in kingdom that radiates any feeling stronger than this one is paleotrex and rhinox(a very different emotion for that one)
@@PerspectiveEnd I got my primal back in like April but didn’t see any cyclonus figures until we started getting rhinox, I know we’ve at least gotten some of the wave two voyagers here(I’ve seen a few dinobots) but the retailers around here only consistently stock deluxe class,core class,rodimus, and ultra magnus for some reason
Apparently, the yellowing spots on this guy are actually accurate to how white tigers look in real life. So this Kingdom Beast figure Continues the trend of having all the beast figures be more accurate to their animal modes real life counterparts as opposed to the CGI models of the Beast Wars show. Though with this guy you probably wouldn't notice it that much since he pulls off the vibe of Tigatron from the original show quite well.
Yeah I know that's why they are there. I'm just saying that Hasbro probably only thought to put that detail on since its own important because they were looking for something to justify the price.
I just got him 2 days ago, and he's pretty fantastic, but not at all the figure of the year. Not a fan of the yellowing or the tail whip, but other than that I don't really have any issues. I wonder if Legacy Tarantulas will get the same the treatment from Kingdom Blackarachnia, or be his own mold.
With the tiger tail, you can just keep it in it's same port, and turn it 180. It sticks out a little far, but it actually looks pretty good overall in my opinion! I honestly love this guy
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah, though even then you can get a pretty good "side sway" even if it is still static. Point is, you can leave the tail connected in robot mode if it's not too inconvenient
I can’t be convinced that tigatron, pipes and slammer were released in 2021 I was checking websites throughout November and December, but I only found preorders. On January first, I could find them, but not in 2021
Exec lee, and the vote was held before the legacy line was ever revealed, and the final results were revealed a when they revealed that line. There's no way enough people got this in that amount of time.
Epic review PerspectiveEnd!!!!!!! My personal conspiracy theory is that Tigatron won the HoF award, so retailers would release him ASAP. I voted for the Ark for the HoF. Tigatron is a decent figure, but in my review I pointed out that one of the selling points for Tigatron is that he was the last of the Season 1 Beast Wars Maximals to be given a figure in the Kingdom line. Keep on being amazing.
@@PerspectiveEnd I hope the rumors are true and we are in fact getting a deluxe class figure of Tarantulas and a voyager class figure of BW Inferno in the Legacy line. :D
It took me three Walmarts to get this after he came out, my local one just got in Rhinox, after I ordered him online 6 months ago, the second one had nothing but deluxes and the second wave of 86 voyagers, and then finally I found him on the top shelf of the third one. Honestly I think he’s a good figure and I’m glad to have kingdom complete for me (except Terrorsaur)
Just bought Tigatron today at Smyths and I gotta say I absolutely adore this guy, he's a great size, shiny bright paint and a great head sculpt. Only complain is the tail, it should have been on a swivel and not a removable accessory or fold up onto his back in some fashion, overall a great figure but it's leaving me a little disappointed that this wasn't retooled into Ravage rather than Cheetor
I don’t have this guy but I do have the orange repaint, because guess what? The regular still isn’t out in Australia. Only hasbro could release the exclusive repaint BEFORE the regular release
This is the first review I've actually seen of this guy. I'm kinda surprised, honestly. From what everyone is saying, I expected him to be a bit better. I still really want to pick him up, though. I find when I get a figure in hand, a lot of issues I have seem to melt away Apparently this guy showed up where I live a week before Christmas, but when I went to my ToysRUs after Christmas, they were all gone (would've gone sooner, but you know, Omicron). I was expecting ToysRUs to have either Blaster or Tigatron, but they had nothing new outside of the wave 4 deluxes and some Sweeps
God I miss toys R us. Well I am of the most critical critic I think in this entire space. Makes sense that a lot of people won't mention this things actual problems.
“I’m not saying that the west side of the country not having a figure means it’s not out, but if an entire side of the country doesn’t have it it’s not out” thats called a homonym perspective.
I’m a bit interested in this figure, maybe the Golden Disk Mutant version. Today my SG Starscream comes in which completes my set of the Shattered Glass figures but also my first Starscream. After that unless I do get Tigatron or some Siege figures I’m still interested in for a decent price, this may be it for my collection for a bit until Legacy comes out.
Fun fact: he became a wrecker when he and airazor came to life again he joined the wreckers to fight the other side of Cybertron during bm but unlike bm he and most of the wreckers are handsome
@@PerspectiveEnd ok fine but I am still putting him with my wreckers and besides that at least gives them a happy ending so just take them coming back to life as canon I guess
Like I said, they are not released yet. I don't care if you're in Colorado and found them or Rhode Island, or Kentucky, or wherever. Most of the country it doesn't have them.
Yeah I absolutely agree with everything you say and it’s a solid figure. I’m also from west coast and omg I barely found Tigatron after Christmas. I also agree that it doesn’t deserve the best figure like honestly there were ton of better figures that came out in 2021
The best place I can find to put the tail is to put it on his butt plate, like in Beast Mode, but to flip it the other way around. Makes it look like his Robot Mode has a tail. Not the most idea, but it's the best I can think of.
Yeah, the problem I find with that is it just makes him take up too much space behind himself. There is no good solution, and there should have been a good solution.
Oh you should see how many tigatrons and rhinox are at my Walmart there’s like stacks upon stacks cause they have the normal stack then they have some all over the place and then like three other stacks on top, also that here comes the boy thing is probably one of the most terrifying yet halirious thing ever
I live in the forgotten North West. It's nice if we see at least 60% of a line. I have never and will never see a Titan, Commander, TF Collab, Masterpiece, and half of store exclusives in any store in a 60+ mile radius. I used to think distribution was just like this everywhere, but UA-cam channels devoted to toy hunting in stores made me realize that East coast and mid West are prioritized over West coast.
@@PerspectiveEnd It's more a Hasbro thing than Transformers. Star Wars, Marvel, and GI Joe are all far more difficult to find in stores. Where I live all the Walmarts and Targets have gluts of Landos. At one time their were three different versions of Black Series Lando on the pegs[14 in total]. The Lando plague started over a year ago and I documented it over the spanning months. Snake Eyes Movie figures are another plague that dont move and halt any chance of restock.
I am aware of that, but it's also something they very easily could have not done, and something that would have made it look better, because it looks dirty the way it is.
The yellowing doesn’t look bad but it looks like hasbro had finished painting the figure and had a small amount leftover and just threw it on tigatron. Instead of the yellow marks maybe they should’ve of just added more pearl white or metallic green to the figure
Personally the way I store the tail is keeping it in the same spot and just spinning it around, it’s surprisingly not in the way, my biggest issue is I really wish the Tiger head could turn, that would make it such an upgrade
Yeah it would be nice if the tiger head it could rotate. I will say that your solution is a far from a perfect one considering how much space he takes up behind himself that way.
I think something that might have fixed his face is if he had the tiny little whisker marks he had. I actually had my Kingdom Tigatron next to me for an episode, I don’t remember which episode, and I noticed that the show model had these little whiskers on his face. Just to make sure I also looked up a picture of the masterpiece and yeah he had them on there to. So I don’t think the problem is that he’s puffing out his lips but that his upper lip is just blank making it look that way. Did that last sentence make any sense?
I can safely say that I've never stuck fries at anywhere they don't go. They don't go on burgers, they don't go on burritos, they go in your mouth and that's it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Step 1: Get a Zaxbees or Steak n Shake Grilled cheese. Step 2: line fries across the inside of the sandwich and close it up. Step 3: Take a bite. Step 4: Wonder why you have never glimpsed into the heaven you now find yourself in.
I’m in CA just Saw 5 of these in target yesterday along With 5 Studio 86 Coronation Starscream got the Starscream still deciding on the Tigertron the shoulder thing isn’t helping
Not much else to say that I haven't on this figure, but lemme tell you after I find it at this tiny Target with a bunch of stuff, a little later I go to the closest Target near me, and they had three. And a couple Shreknoxes. I felt like I was the pawn of a cosmic prank or something but I don't even care
This figure was a pain to get for me too, I had to go out of state to get one, and when I did finally get him I had to pay Chicago markup, so I ended up paying nearly $40 for him
Jeez...I thought those side panels on Cheetor had a nasty habit of getting hung up during transformation. Seems like MP50 Tigatron was more carefully thought out over MP34 Cheetor compared to Kingdom Tigatron apparently not being well thought out over Kingdom Cheetor. 😮😮😮🤯🤯🤯
His crotch plate kinda looks like a face I just realized, that novelty alone makes me want this. Hopefully soon I will have this since every store an hour away from me only has kingdom tracks and paleotrex.
For all the hate Kingdom Cheetor gets, the ample butterfly shoulder joints on it go a long way to fix the visuals of his shoulders sitting way too far back, something I wish Tigatron here would also have. What I did was file away a millimeter or so from the part where said butterfly joint touch the tiger neck soyou can move the shoulders forward a wee bit more. The tail as a whip is kind of meh, but I've found it looks fairly neat in robot mode if you stick it right back into the butt flap, raise said butt flap up ever so slightly and turn the tail sideways. Not exactly show accurate, but I think the resulting robo-tail looks cool enough while also getting out of the way for posing. I like the toy quite a bit overall, a mostly great looking guy with nice heft, joint tolerances and posability. Not as incredible as Cyclonus or even Wreck-Gar, but definitely a B+ in my book. Oh, and the "boy" part of this review had me in stitches.
I'm hoping for someone to release an upgrade kit that will allow the arms to double hinge forward and get into a more natural position. Personally my OCD will never let just a part of the figure be sideways. B+ is a fair rating. I'm glad you enjoyed that part I was quite proud of it while making it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Oh, yeah, an add-on to amp up the butterfly joints, as well as cover up the tiger neck in robot mode more, would definitely make this toy even better. Aw, I didn't even condider how asymmetry like that would look to someone with OCD, especially since it's not even accurate to how the character's supposed to be. Completely understandable. You're right to be proud of that skit, I'd say it's your funniest bit yet.
5:15 It was in the show; probably in certain ones though. You can see it in this ep at around 12:11 for Cheetor, and at 15:11 for Tigatron: ua-cam.com/video/BXYOZmHyqCo/v-deo.html
Interesting, thank you for the link. Yeah it wasn't showing up in the pictures I've seen before. Weird I wonder what was there for in the show, it doesn't make it look better. I almost wonder if it's an animation error, like something was accidentally sticking out the side of the model that wasn't supposed to be shown.
7:48-8:00 What the... Definitely didn't expect that part. I think that Tigatron is not a retool of Cheetor since there's no part shared in any way or at least from what I can see anyway. I think he just shared similar engineering with Cheetor. If you are interested, I learn the definition of retool and shared engineering from tfwiki. Yeah, definitely an upgrade from the Cheetor version. Definitely looks better than Cheetor. Anyway, great review.
I hope you found that part funny? If you wish to fight me over weather or not this is a retool, then be prepared to die on this hill. Even the people who normally fight me about retools aren't after me about this one.
@@PerspectiveEnd Nah I won't. I just can't see the shared part cause I didn't have this figure, yet. Hopefully I can get him someday cause I really like this figure.
I assume they justified it as a voyager by having more parts of him be filled out, like he is not as gappy as I’d fear. I’d say I wished his butt plate transformed similar to primal, going on his back, and that if his beast shins transformed a with an extra joint so that he could have more of an accurate ankle and be taller. I mapped out how they could’ve engineered it but I doubt the plastic is durable enough IMO.
Yet, but that's all stuff that really just happened in the remolding process that didn't cost them any more plastic than before. They just designed it more filled out. I can see why they felt like it wasn't enough to convince people that it was worth the new buy.
As much as i like this, Tigatron was far from Deserving figure of the year. I'm having a hard time deciding what my favorite from kingdom would be with how good majority of the line is. And i didn't expect that reference for alt mode, had me rolling!
I'm glad you enjoyed that part. I was very proud of it while working on it. And yeah there were just too many amazing figure's last year for this to take the top spot.
If honestly I was lucky to see the tigertron mainly because we didn't have any of Earth rise ever arrived to our stores and I saw 2 figures from siege and even then it was just the skywarp Box set twice
Personally I prefer the Transformers Beast Wars reissue of Tigatron than the Kingdom one because it has amazing articulation for an old mold. Plus the weapons actually become part of and make sense in beast mode, good paint, and you can flip the Beast mode head upside down in bot mode for full range of the bot mode head. Also it adds to the looks of the figure. All in all a very amazing figure and will probably be one of the best I pick up this year . I am just gald my Walmart that usually does not get much had a lot of new things in stock so I could grab the reissue Tigatron . P.S I love that you can flip the bot head to reveal the mutant head on the reissue Tigatron like Animated Bitzwing lol. I also named the mutant head Sabertooth the split personality of Tigatron.
I know right! I was not just crazy, when I said in my Cheetor reissue video that the mold actually holds up really well. Plus the old version doesn't have a stupid yellowing.
@@PerspectiveEnd Indeed the old Beast Wars mold for Cheetor and Tigatron holds up very well and is probably the best of the reissues accept maybe the reissue Optimus Primal which I am thinking of getting over the Kingdom Optimus Primal. And yes the yellowing on the Kingdom Tigatron sucks so bad I don’t know how people can put up with it. It just makes me more happy to have the reissue Tigatron even if mine has a bit of paint chipping but that is a nitpick at best and no more paint is coming off anyway so no worries there.
Yah, I ran into this figure at Target the other day and while the online images made it look good, when I saw it in person, I just couldn't like it enough to pay $30 for it. Although, one figure I did see that I kind of wish I could go back for is kingdom Beast Megatron. If I was more of a Beast Wars fan than a G1 fan, I would have picked it up on the spot. But I've been trying to save my money for the upcoming Legacy Kickback, so I had to skip out on it. Anyway, excellent review! You really put into words the disappointments I had with that figure.
I'm a sorry that he disappointed you so much, like I was saying I don't think it's a bad figure, but it's definitely not the best figure of the year. Honestly I would probably say that it was a beast wars that Megatron. That was to I voted for. If you get the chance I really do recommend picking that figure up.
huh, my copy has loose thigh joints, so it just does the splits sometimes, and when using the butterfly joint on the arms, the panels on the sides of the cat head love to move around make it a pain
I'm honestly so happy that he comes with a gun that I don't even really care about the terrible weapon storage. But he does kind of look like he's having an allergic reaction to peanut butter. Still, I'm super happy with this figure.
I know this is a sense whoever transformers fan but because the peg of the shoulder cannon broke I had to glue it on. And now it's a cassette player with a shoulder cannon
@@PerspectiveEnd well,I started collecting back in June last year and I haven’t really got any beast wars figures besides BW megs and tigatron,cause I have mostly been getting figures for my series (siege figures )
Now we finally know how cursed a Beast Machines Tigatron would have looked at 7:50

We REALLY need a reissue of Kingdom Tigatron his yellowing issue is just too harsh
East coast here. I saw a SINGLE Tigatron at a Target (in front of two Rhinox's) earlier this week for the first time.
Of course there were two Rhinoxs, because no one is ever going to buy them.
Here in Kentucky, we currently have at least two in every almost store I go into(except Walmart’s apparently)
Side note I’ve never seen an inferno in stores, I feel like distribution is very uneven with the voyagers, most Walmart’s in my area just haven’t had voyagers period yet they have like 3 rodiumus primes… piss
And yes I do still think tigatron is the best maximal figure, the only figures in kingdom that radiates any feeling stronger than this one is paleotrex and rhinox(a very different emotion for that one)
Seems like every state east of me is getting these in.
Yeah distribution sucks.
What about Cyclonus?

You are more than welcome. I was a super proud of that segment.
your right I can't unsee that, now he looks very hunched
I'm sorry to have inflicted of my sight upon you.
Remember?
The fact that I saw the first part of "Saving private Ryan recently seems like fate.
Of course.
Though I don't know why that would be fate?
I just got him 2 days ago, and he's pretty fantastic, but not at all the figure of the year. Not a fan of the yellowing or the tail whip, but other than that I don't really have any issues. I wonder if Legacy Tarantulas will get the same the treatment from Kingdom Blackarachnia, or be his own mold.
I hope a Tarantulas it gets his own mold.
6:19 it's not an after thought, it's a WHIP, but if you hate the tail that much there's an upgrade kit that turns it into a battle axe.
What I mean by that is that a different Accessory is an after thought in each mode. In Robot mode it's the tail, and in Beast Mode it's the gun.
@@PerspectiveEnd I think the gun on the belly is a nudge to the original toy
The figure that should have won the poll is obviously Kingdom Arcee or Tiny Turbo Changers Bumblebee
Nah, obviously it should've been RED Arcee.
Technically speaking
If we go by the boxart
The tail in robot mode is used as a whip
It is not a very threatening looking whip.
Here comes the *BOY!*
HELLO, *BOY!*
Where did that come from?
The depths of my depraved mind.
Hopefully tigerhawks coming soon
I needs it!
With the tiger tail, you can just keep it in it's same port, and turn it 180. It sticks out a little far, but it actually looks pretty good overall in my opinion! I honestly love this guy
Problem with that if he takes up so much space behind himself. Kind of limits where you can put him. Or what you can put behind him.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah, though even then you can get a pretty good "side sway" even if it is still static. Point is, you can leave the tail connected in robot mode if it's not too inconvenient
4:05
He learned it from movie Starscream
Also pretty sure the tab on the gut gun is supposed to reference the old toy
I suppose he did.
And I don't know about that, the old toy would've had two of them are not just on the one side and it didn't look quite like this.
there is 1 big issue with the head sculpt that almost nobody brigs up and that is he does not have his mustase
Um what Moustache?

I can’t be convinced that tigatron, pipes and slammer were released in 2021
I was checking websites throughout November and December, but I only found preorders. On January first, I could find them, but not in 2021
Exec lee, and the vote was held before the legacy line was ever revealed, and the final results were revealed a when they revealed that line.
There's no way enough people got this in that amount of time.
Epic review PerspectiveEnd!!!!!!! My personal conspiracy theory is that Tigatron won the HoF award, so retailers would release him ASAP. I voted for the Ark for the HoF. Tigatron is a decent figure, but in my review I pointed out that one of the selling points for Tigatron is that he was the last of the Season 1 Beast Wars Maximals to be given a figure in the Kingdom line. Keep on being amazing.
Oh man I can't believe I forgot to mention how long it took to release all the beast wars characters.
Hell they still are tall released yet.
@@PerspectiveEnd I hope the rumors are true and we are in fact getting a deluxe class figure of Tarantulas and a voyager class figure of BW Inferno in the Legacy line. :D
It took me three Walmarts to get this after he came out, my local one just got in Rhinox, after I ordered him online 6 months ago, the second one had nothing but deluxes and the second wave of 86 voyagers, and then finally I found him on the top shelf of the third one. Honestly I think he’s a good figure and I’m glad to have kingdom complete for me (except Terrorsaur)
Of course there going to have a Rhinoxs. Who's going to buy them?
And I did say it is a good figure.
Also what about Tarantulas and Inferno?
Just bought Tigatron today at Smyths and I gotta say I absolutely adore this guy, he's a great size, shiny bright paint and a great head sculpt. Only complain is the tail, it should have been on a swivel and not a removable accessory or fold up onto his back in some fashion, overall a great figure but it's leaving me a little disappointed that this wasn't retooled into Ravage rather than Cheetor
I do like it alot, it's a good figure, I know the tone of this video might undercut that, but I'm just so annoyed with hasbro for the lies.
I don’t have this guy but I do have the orange repaint, because guess what? The regular still isn’t out in Australia. Only hasbro could release the exclusive repaint BEFORE the regular release
And here I don't think they'd release to the exclusive repaint yet.
What a brilliant marketing strategy they have.
This is the first review I've actually seen of this guy. I'm kinda surprised, honestly. From what everyone is saying, I expected him to be a bit better. I still really want to pick him up, though. I find when I get a figure in hand, a lot of issues I have seem to melt away
Apparently this guy showed up where I live a week before Christmas, but when I went to my ToysRUs after Christmas, they were all gone (would've gone sooner, but you know, Omicron). I was expecting ToysRUs to have either Blaster or Tigatron, but they had nothing new outside of the wave 4 deluxes and some Sweeps
God I miss toys R us.
Well I am of the most critical critic I think in this entire space. Makes sense that a lot of people won't mention this things actual problems.
“I’m not saying that the west side of the country not having a figure means it’s not out, but if an entire side of the country doesn’t have it it’s not out” thats called a homonym perspective.
Not quite, like if the East Side didn't have it, it would also not be out, what side I'm no doesn't matter.
@@PerspectiveEnd I know, I was just pointing out how similar it sounds.
I’m a bit interested in this figure, maybe the Golden Disk Mutant version. Today my SG Starscream comes in which completes my set of the Shattered Glass figures but also my first Starscream.
After that unless I do get Tigatron or some Siege figures I’m still interested in for a decent price, this may be it for my collection for a bit until Legacy comes out.
I'm not trying to warn anyone away from this thing. It's decent, good even just not figure of the year.
Fun fact: he became a wrecker when he and airazor came to life again he joined the wreckers to fight the other side of Cybertron during bm but unlike bm he and most of the wreckers are handsome
I do not consider that to the cannon.
@@PerspectiveEnd ok fine but I am still putting him with my wreckers and besides that at least gives them a happy ending so just take them coming back to life as canon I guess
Oh no... Now I know what that face reminds me to... All of those pics of dogs that ate bees!
Oh yeah, that does make sense.
Live in the Midwest. Haven’t seen half of the last kingdom wave yet with rhinox, waspinator and the rest.. had them on preorder too. Still waiting..
Like I said, they are not released yet.
I don't care if you're in Colorado and found them or Rhode Island, or Kentucky, or wherever.
Most of the country it doesn't have them.
the fact that Hasbro didn't just cheep out and just make Tigatron a repaint and instead made him a retool is something I do think is nice
That is nice, but it doesn't make it a figure of the year.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah but I am now interested in this at least when it comes out
Yeah I absolutely agree with everything you say and it’s a solid figure. I’m also from west coast and omg I barely found Tigatron after Christmas. I also agree that it doesn’t deserve the best figure like honestly there were ton of better figures that came out in 2021
I'm glad to hear it, and I'm so happy you enjoyed the video.
Yeah this just doesn't live up to the amazing year that was 2021.
The best place I can find to put the tail is to put it on his butt plate, like in Beast Mode, but to flip it the other way around. Makes it look like his Robot Mode has a tail. Not the most idea, but it's the best I can think of.
Yeah, the problem I find with that is it just makes him take up too much space behind himself. There is no good solution, and there should have been a good solution.
Oh you should see how many tigatrons and rhinox are at my Walmart there’s like stacks upon stacks cause they have the normal stack then they have some all over the place and then like three other stacks on top, also that here comes the boy thing is probably one of the most terrifying yet halirious thing ever
I'm glad you enjoyed that part, I was quite proud of it.
And it does not surprise me it to hear that Rhinox is still around.
Also think this is the first time I’ve gotten a Kingdom figure before you reviewed it
Nice, that means you got to form your own opinion and before I had the opportunity to taint it.
I live in the forgotten North West. It's nice if we see at least 60% of a line. I have never and will never see a Titan, Commander, TF Collab, Masterpiece, and half of store exclusives in any store in a 60+ mile radius.
I used to think distribution was just like this everywhere, but UA-cam channels devoted to toy hunting in stores made me realize that East coast and mid West are prioritized over West coast.
That's what I've been thinking too for a while. Like is Transformers more an east coast thing than a West Coast one?
@@PerspectiveEnd It's more a Hasbro thing than Transformers. Star Wars, Marvel, and GI Joe are all far more difficult to find in stores.
Where I live all the Walmarts and Targets have gluts of Landos. At one time their were three different versions of Black Series Lando on the pegs[14 in total]. The Lando plague started over a year ago and I documented it over the spanning months.
Snake Eyes Movie figures are another plague that dont move and halt any chance of restock.
The yellowing is accurate to the real animal so that’s why he has it
I am aware of that, but it's also something they very easily could have not done, and something that would have made it look better, because it looks dirty the way it is.
You chose right when using the gift card. A wise man once said “Food is temporary, but Transformers are forever.”
Starvation is temporary, but you can be buried with your transformers.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yep you get it. Transformers must always be your first priority.
The yellowing doesn’t look bad but it looks like hasbro had finished painting the figure and had a small amount leftover and just threw it on tigatron. Instead of the yellow marks maybe they should’ve of just added more pearl white or metallic green to the figure
I would have preferred that. More of that green please, less of that yellow.
Lol when "the boy" happened i literally jumped
I'm happy to hear that, I was very proud of that section.
Nice, a review before my vacation!
Hope you have a good vacation.
Personally the way I store the tail is keeping it in the same spot and just spinning it around, it’s surprisingly not in the way, my biggest issue is I really wish the Tiger head could turn, that would make it such an upgrade
Yeah it would be nice if the tiger head it could rotate.
I will say that your solution is a far from a perfect one considering how much space he takes up behind himself that way.
@@PerspectiveEnd very true, if he wasn’t basically by himself on the shelf it would be a huge issue
I leave the tail on mine on the port that is on his arm and when posed right you can't really tell its there
I think something that might have fixed his face is if he had the tiny little whisker marks he had. I actually had my Kingdom Tigatron next to me for an episode, I don’t remember which episode, and I noticed that the show model had these little whiskers on his face. Just to make sure I also looked up a picture of the masterpiece and yeah he had them on there to. So I don’t think the problem is that he’s puffing out his lips but that his upper lip is just blank making it look that way. Did that last sentence make any sense?
A detail like that might have made them less puffy yeah.
Have you ever put fries in your McDonald’s cheeseburger between the patty and bun and felt like it was a crime?
I put fries in between my grilled cheese. It seems like a weird idea but it works!
I can safely say that I've never stuck fries at anywhere they don't go.
They don't go on burgers, they don't go on burritos, they go in your mouth and that's it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Step 1: Get a Zaxbees or Steak n Shake Grilled cheese.
Step 2: line fries across the inside of the sandwich and close it up.
Step 3: Take a bite.
Step 4: Wonder why you have never glimpsed into the heaven you now find yourself in.
I’m in CA just Saw 5 of these in target yesterday along With 5 Studio 86 Coronation Starscream got the Starscream still deciding on the Tigertron the shoulder thing isn’t helping
I'm getting enough reports of these being around it might actually be fully released at this point.
Not much else to say that I haven't on this figure, but lemme tell you after I find it at this tiny Target with a bunch of stuff, a little later I go to the closest Target near me, and they had three. And a couple Shreknoxes. I felt like I was the pawn of a cosmic prank or something but I don't even care
What is a Shreknox?
@@PerspectiveEnd That's what I call Kingdom Rhinox
This figure was a pain to get for me too, I had to go out of state to get one, and when I did finally get him I had to pay Chicago markup, so I ended up paying nearly $40 for him
My Walmart had six or seven of them shelfwarming
What the heck is a Chicago mark up?
That sounds like you dealt with the mafia to get him.
@@PerspectiveEnd basically I’ve found that in Chicago things tend to be a bit more expensive, and sales Tax seems to be a bit higher
I can't wait to get a tigatron my beast wars display really needs one
I do completely understand that feeling.
My favorite Kingdom voyager second only to Cyclonus
Edit: Can't wait for blaster
Blaster is good, but it’s pretty overhyped. Also, the Eject is dead set on giving me an anxiety attack.
@@nemesis_saber89 I find the eject just as another accessory
@@razorshark6790 Same, but the clear plastic makes my heart race since it was a bitch to find one of these.
But that still means that he can't be number one.
@@PerspectiveEnd If you ever complete the line would you do a whats the best kingdom figure of the whole line of course Ercee being last
5:44 ey, its the whip for airrazor
I'm guessing you're saying that she something like a dominatrix or something?
how else is she going to dominate that tiger
"as threating as a pool noodle" you have no Idea how threating that is, I'm actually serious.
Enlighten me, how threatening can a pool noodle be?
@@PerspectiveEnd when your at the pool and you just get wacked into the wall
and also if your at a pool with a but load of people with pool noodles its chaotic
Jeez...I thought those side panels on Cheetor had a nasty habit of getting hung up during transformation. Seems like MP50 Tigatron was more carefully thought out over MP34 Cheetor compared to Kingdom Tigatron apparently not being well thought out over Kingdom Cheetor. 😮😮😮🤯🤯🤯
I mean it's decently thought out, but this one part really needed better attention.
It's just satisfying to have any new beast wars figures
I mean yeah, and I'm not saying this is bad, it's good, it's just not the best figure of the year.
Welcome to perspectiveend where we call thighs "front butts"
I wasn't talking about his thighs, I was talking about those protrusions on the front of his thighs.
His crotch plate kinda looks like a face I just realized, that novelty alone makes me want this. Hopefully soon I will have this since every store an hour away from me only has kingdom tracks and paleotrex.
She tours of crotch plate also has a face on it. It is a classic icon of both their designs.
For all the hate Kingdom Cheetor gets, the ample butterfly shoulder joints on it go a long way to fix the visuals of his shoulders sitting way too far back, something I wish Tigatron here would also have. What I did was file away a millimeter or so from the part where said butterfly joint touch the tiger neck soyou can move the shoulders forward a wee bit more.
The tail as a whip is kind of meh, but I've found it looks fairly neat in robot mode if you stick it right back into the butt flap, raise said butt flap up ever so slightly and turn the tail sideways. Not exactly show accurate, but I think the resulting robo-tail looks cool enough while also getting out of the way for posing.
I like the toy quite a bit overall, a mostly great looking guy with nice heft, joint tolerances and posability. Not as incredible as Cyclonus or even Wreck-Gar, but definitely a B+ in my book.
Oh, and the "boy" part of this review had me in stitches.
I'm hoping for someone to release an upgrade kit that will allow the arms to double hinge forward and get into a more natural position.
Personally my OCD will never let just a part of the figure be sideways.
B+ is a fair rating.
I'm glad you enjoyed that part I was quite proud of it while making it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Oh, yeah, an add-on to amp up the butterfly joints, as well as cover up the tiger neck in robot mode more, would definitely make this toy even better.
Aw, I didn't even condider how asymmetry like that would look to someone with OCD, especially since it's not even accurate to how the character's supposed to be. Completely understandable.
You're right to be proud of that skit, I'd say it's your funniest bit yet.
Tigatron is my second favourite beast wars character.
But easier number one of favorite kingdom figure?
Also has your favorite beast wars character?
@@PerspectiveEnd my favourite is kinda obvious. BW Megatron
Ngl I’m just really annoyed I can’t find this bloke anywhere, in stores or online, he looks so good
He's solid, but I would refrain from hiking on him.
And yeah, you can find him because he's not released yet and Hasbro are liars.
5:15
It was in the show; probably in certain ones though.
You can see it in this ep at around 12:11 for Cheetor, and at 15:11 for Tigatron:
ua-cam.com/video/BXYOZmHyqCo/v-deo.html
Interesting, thank you for the link. Yeah it wasn't showing up in the pictures I've seen before. Weird I wonder what was there for in the show, it doesn't make it look better.
I almost wonder if it's an animation error, like something was accidentally sticking out the side of the model that wasn't supposed to be shown.
@@PerspectiveEnd If I had to guess, I think it was meant for holstering their gun (despite the fact that it's rarely seen in the show)?
7:48-8:00 What the...
Definitely didn't expect that part.
I think that Tigatron is not a retool of Cheetor since there's no part shared in any way or at least from what I can see anyway. I think he just shared similar engineering with Cheetor. If you are interested, I learn the definition of retool and shared engineering from tfwiki. Yeah, definitely an upgrade from the Cheetor version. Definitely looks better than Cheetor. Anyway, great review.
I hope you found that part funny?
If you wish to fight me over weather or not this is a retool, then be prepared to die on this hill.
Even the people who normally fight me about retools aren't after me about this one.
@@PerspectiveEnd Nah I won't. I just can't see the shared part cause I didn't have this figure, yet. Hopefully I can get him someday cause I really like this figure.
I assume they justified it as a voyager by having more parts of him be filled out, like he is not as gappy as I’d fear. I’d say I wished his butt plate transformed similar to primal, going on his back, and that if his beast shins transformed a with an extra joint so that he could have more of an accurate ankle and be taller. I mapped out how they could’ve engineered it but I doubt the plastic is durable enough IMO.
Yet, but that's all stuff that really just happened in the remolding process that didn't cost them any more plastic than before.
They just designed it more filled out.
I can see why they felt like it wasn't enough to convince people that it was worth the new buy.
Holy Crap, how has it been a year since you commented.
I hope you are doing well.
Anyone else’s yellowed to shit? Mine isn’t as bad as SG Starscream but it’s bad and he was in a box for months.
Mine has not. It still looks as good as ever, still got that nasty piss paint job though.
Mine has yellowed really badly too
i wonder what an upgrade kit could do for this guy
I'm really hoping they give him a pair of shoulder extentions.
As much as i like this, Tigatron was far from Deserving figure of the year. I'm having a hard time deciding what my favorite from kingdom would be with how good majority of the line is. And i didn't expect that reference for alt mode, had me rolling!
I'm glad you enjoyed that part. I was very proud of it while working on it.
And yeah there were just too many amazing figure's last year for this to take the top spot.
5:40 It’s a whip
It looks about as threatening as an extra long blade of grass.
None is goings to point out the croch face
I mean that's just is supposed to be there, he always had it, pointing it out feels a little redundant.
If honestly I was lucky to see the tigertron mainly because we didn't have any of Earth rise ever arrived to our stores and I saw 2 figures from siege and even then it was just the skywarp Box set twice
That is an eclectic set of figure's use of air.
Personally I prefer the Transformers Beast Wars reissue of Tigatron than the Kingdom one because it has amazing articulation for an old mold. Plus the weapons actually become part of and make sense in beast mode, good paint, and you can flip the Beast mode head upside down in bot mode for full range of the bot mode head. Also it adds to the looks of the figure. All in all a very amazing figure and will probably be one of the best I pick up this year . I am just gald my Walmart that usually does not get much had a lot of new things in stock so I could grab the reissue Tigatron . P.S I love that you can flip the bot head to reveal the mutant head on the reissue Tigatron like Animated Bitzwing lol. I also named the mutant head Sabertooth the split personality of Tigatron.
I know right! I was not just crazy, when I said in my Cheetor reissue video that the mold actually holds up really well.
Plus the old version doesn't have a stupid yellowing.
@@PerspectiveEnd Indeed the old Beast Wars mold for Cheetor and Tigatron holds up very well and is probably the best of the reissues accept maybe the reissue Optimus Primal which I am thinking of getting over the Kingdom Optimus Primal. And yes the yellowing on the Kingdom Tigatron sucks so bad I don’t know how people can put up with it. It just makes me more happy to have the reissue Tigatron even if mine has a bit of paint chipping but that is a nitpick at best and no more paint is coming off anyway so no worries there.
Mine has yellowed severely
Huh, was considering picking this up but I don’t think will after this
It's not bad, it's good, it's just not fantastic or even great, I'm not trying to warn you away from this.
@@PerspectiveEnd Fair, but I have the Cheetor and all things considered I think I’ll stay with him.
Love this guy I'm just happy we have a accurate tigatron that's not 220 dollars
This is fair.
Yah, I ran into this figure at Target the other day and while the online images made it look good, when I saw it in person, I just couldn't like it enough to pay $30 for it. Although, one figure I did see that I kind of wish I could go back for is kingdom Beast Megatron. If I was more of a Beast Wars fan than a G1 fan, I would have picked it up on the spot. But I've been trying to save my money for the upcoming Legacy Kickback, so I had to skip out on it.
Anyway, excellent review! You really put into words the disappointments I had with that figure.
I'm a sorry that he disappointed you so much, like I was saying I don't think it's a bad figure, but it's definitely not the best figure of the year.
Honestly I would probably say that it was a beast wars that Megatron. That was to I voted for.
If you get the chance I really do recommend picking that figure up.
huh, my copy has loose thigh joints, so it just does the splits sometimes, and when using the butterfly joint on the arms, the panels on the sides of the cat head love to move around make it a pain
I'm a sorry to hear that. The only loose joints I have is the one cat arm. And that will hold position. It just comes off.
@@PerspectiveEnd Thank you for apologizing, but hopefully I can fix the side panels with a small amount of super glue, so not all hope is lost
I'm honestly so happy that he comes with a gun that I don't even really care about the terrible weapon storage. But he does kind of look like he's having an allergic reaction to peanut butter. Still, I'm super happy with this figure.
What is this about king of butter?
It's just that the tail is the worst kind of partsforming.
It only has to use in one mode.
I know this is a sense whoever transformers fan but because the peg of the shoulder cannon broke I had to glue it on. And now it's a cassette player with a shoulder cannon
Which version of Soundwave are you talking about?
@@PerspectiveEnd I'm talking about the core class
Here comes the boy.
bOiYeEEeee!

Black Widow?
Got this figure on the 27th last year,and I really like this figure .It’s the first maximal I got
I got it before Christmas because distribution is weird.
@@nemesis_saber89 very weird
@@godzillaverse7936 Yeah, but I’m happy I’m not in an area with none lol.
Really? Did you just never see any other Maximals before, or was this the only one you wanted?
