I wish Big W didn't absolutely fucking botch the release of Wave 1 here in Australia, which sold Cheetor and Rattrap at $60 - which is $20 more than a standard Voyager figure here. If they sold them at regular Deluxe price like they're doing now, then I'm certain we would have gotten Tigatron here. Shame, because I think Tigatron looks absolutely fresh.

[@TFCollector]

Wow, I thought they were a ripoff in the US! 😱

[@ChaplainWulf]

I’m definitely going to be picking him up and any BW reissues in the future. I have no complaints really, maybe the packaging like on every figure, but other then that nothing else. It does seem really strange they did not paint his gun.

[@iodaspark]

'Brand unification' at its finest! ;-)

[@masterfarr8265]

This could work as Snowstalker

[@biolinkmaster]

Damn he looks gorgeous!

[@aljoe0181]

Just picked him up today saw him next to kingdom version so was a hard choice but know I made the right one lol

[@TFCollector]

It's hard to beat the classics.

[@aljoe0181]

@@TFCollector oooh yes

[@darkangel076]

Nice. I actually like that he is the Takara version paint-wise, though less thrilled with the non-fold down head. At least now I know why Vintage Cheetor's head would not fold down completely!

[@TFCollector]

I'd love to find out why the change was made.

[@darkangel076]

@@TFCollector It doesn't seem to serve any purpose. If the original mold was known to have the beast head break off or something I would get it, but nothing like that seems to be the case. Oh, and how the heck "squirter" is better than "gut gun" I cannot comprehend. Especially when talking about cats. ESPECIALLY when talking about MALE cats. In any case, I had to go grocery shopping today and scored not only Scorponok and Tigatron, but MOTU Origins Stridor. I don't remember the last time I had a nice little haul like this from any brick and mortar store. Anyway, I'm a happy camper.

[@TFCollector]

That's a really nice find! As for Cheetor, we'll have to tell friends we got him fixed because his squirting was out of control.

[@ryannray31]

I just got this Tigatron yesterday squeezed between dozens of Cheetors and Ratraps at a local Wal-Mart here in Canada for $33. I just gotta have this version. Hopefully will pick up the rest of the "Cat bots" as they would look cool to display altogether!

[@TFCollector]

Makes me wonder if they'll do do Nightstalker with this mold. Now would be the time to finally do it.

[@ryannray31]

@@TFCollector Lol I had to Google Nightstalker cos I forgot about him and yeah that would be interesting! Just found out that Night Prowler is coming with the Kingdom Cheetor mold as well. Got Shadow Panther already so it would be really cool to have all of them Cat Bots😂

[@TFCollector]

I actually meant to say Night Prowler. I do hope we get a new Nightstalker too though.

[@ryannray31]

@@TFCollector It's all good! I liked reading about Nightstalker's backstory and how he was connected to Ravage anyways!

[@jessicarie-tp6ti]

i had to check someone's video about him.... mine yellowing on the weapon to stays under him in tiger mode. not even this crap is safe from hasbro yellowing either...

[@tristanwilliams4180]

i have the Tigatron Reissue! and i really love him, he's very easy to transform as well, But would you call this as a G1 Toy Becuase Beast wars took place in G1

[@darkknightdavil83]

I didn't have a lot of the Beast Wars toys back in the 90s, but Tigatron was one of the few from the show I had as a toy. He was one of my favorites.

[@TFCollector]

I wouldn't call him a G1 toy, because that refers to a specific franchise of toys. He is definitely part of the G1 continuity though like G2 was.

[@masterfarr8265]

I guess.

[@masterfarr8265]

@@TFCollector G2 was retconned into a different continuity I think

[@MrRcn23]

I don't get why they removed stats from the tech specs. Where I live, we got trilingual packaging back when Beast Wars was new, and yet, all the stats where there. The bios where slightly truncated, tough. For example, Grimlock's bio omitted the sentence that identified him as the G1 character.

[@TFCollector]

I think the stat crunch is to standardize them with more recent yech specs. Definitely an odd choice either way.

[@lukebaldock4672]

I'm hoping for reissue rinox and dinobot

[@TFCollector]

I wouldn't mind Dinobot since mine has serious gold plastic syndrome. Since they seem to be big on recolors with this line, maybe that would get us a proper Grimlock after the awful Kingdom one.
