:&#039;&#039;Tigatron is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Damage to his stasis pod upon crashing to [[Earth]] caused &#039;&#039;&#039;Tigatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (aka &#039;&#039;&#039;Unit 2&#039;&#039;&#039;) to emerge far more tiger than robot. A loner who is more connected to the Earth than any other Beast Warrior, he enjoys the planet&#039;s natural beauty and is often concerned about the damage that the Transformers&#039; battle is doing to it. Scout, infiltrator, and sometimes programming guru, Tigatron has filled a variety of roles for the Maximals.&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===First wave toy bio===&lt;br /&gt;
A powerful and fearless warrior, Optimus Primal appointed Tigatron to patrol the northern polar sector, where he roamed in his [[beast mode]]. When he encountered Predacon activity, he was capable of transforming rapidly and reconfiguring his titanium tail into a powerful quasar cannon, which he then used to vaporize his enemies! Additionally, he sported a toxic fluid blaster, which rendered anybody struck by it completely useless. {{storylink|Tigatron#Toys|Tigatron bio}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tigatron1.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|This is a land of peace, and I will kill anyone who says otherwise!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron&#039;s [[stasis pod]] was the first to fall onto the mysterious world which would later be revealed as prehistory [[Earth]]. Born in the far, frozen north, heavily damaged in his identity circuits and unable to remember friend from foe, Tigatron took to his beast mode. He patiently watched the Predacon and Maximal forces duke it out over the empty stasis pod, finally realising that he was a Maximal when [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] threatened him and the white tiger he had scanned. Transforming, he quickly dispatched the Predacons, but told [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] that he preferred to remain in the wilds. {{storylink|Fallen Comrades}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the northern territories, he would send weekly updates to the &#039;&#039;[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]&#039;&#039; through communication towers. {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 1}} He teamed up with Primal to investigate why [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] was buzzing around in Maximal territory, and was able to track the Predacon back to a cave where [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] were attempting to use a [[sonic emitter]] to break into the Maximal base. After he stole the device, it exploded, and Tigatron rejoined the other Maximals to mourn [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], who had apparently died trying to disarm [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]] (only he hadn&#039;t died). {{storylink|A Better Mousetrap}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a [[temporal probe]] sent by the [[Maximal High Council]] neared the planet, Tigatron defended the Maximals while they tried to build a transmission tower on Predacon soil. He became the first victim of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]&#039;s [[Transformation Lock Lens]] and ended up in a cage next to [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] in the Predacon base. Cheetor fouled up and clued Megatron in as to what was going on, but Tigatron led an escape, and the pair were able to destroy Tarantulas&#039;s weapon, though too late to contact the probe. {{storylink|The Probe}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheSpark Tigatron beast mode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|White Ranger Tiger Power.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron returned to the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039; when the Maximals were preparing to leave the planet, remarking that it felt strange to be inside an artificial structure. After it turned out that the Predacons weren&#039;t as dead as had been thought, Tigatron attempted to leave to help Primal and Cheetor rescue [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], but was told to sit down by [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]. No sooner was takeoff underway than the ship was damaged by Megatron and crashed once again. {{storylink|Victory (episode)|Victory}} Alerted to the landing of another stasis pod, Tigatron headed for it, only to run into [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]]. He was swiftly able to freeze the scorpion, only to be taken out by Blackarachnia&#039;s [[cyber venom]]. He was later around in the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039; to welcome [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] to the team. {{storylink|The Spark}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Airazortigatrontrigger.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|A cat and bird fall for each other. Love is truly blind.]]&lt;br /&gt;
It was during one of his weekly reports that Tigatron was attacked by Terrorsaur and Waspinator and found himself on a strange [[Brigadoon|flying island]]. He explored the natural beauty of the island and believed this area, with its powerful death ray and many horrible death-traps, to be a land of peace. When Scorponok and Blackarachnia arrived on the island and shot down Airazor, Tigatron used one of Scorponok&#039;s [[cyberbee]]s to send a warning message back to base. {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 1}} The duo received reinforcements in the form of Optimus and Rattrap, and they attempted to beat the Predacons to the obelisk in the center of the island. They failed, and to Tigatron&#039;s distress, he was forced to destroy the island&#039;s power source after Blackarachnia took control of it. The island crashed, leaving Tigatron with profound regret. {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron was the first Maximal to spot [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]&#039;s stasis pod crashing, but was prevented from getting there by Waspinator. Airazor lent a hand, and he sent her ahead to secure the pod, but arrived to find she&#039;d failed—the new protoform was a Predacon, and Tarantulas had made off with the empty pod. Tigatron pursued Tarantulas and managed to destroy the pod so that the Predacons couldn&#039;t learn anything from it, before he was attacked in retaliation by the Predacons. He would almost certainly have been destroyed if it wasn&#039;t for the timely arrival of Optimus and Airazor. {{storylink|Spider&#039;s Game}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CalloftheWild Tigatron face.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|I can haz robot moed?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Being more at home with his [[beast mode]] than his [[robot mode]], he was invaluable help when the Maximals were left stuck in beast mode and overpowered by animal instincts. He helped them learn to work with these instincts instead of struggling for dominance. {{storylink|Call of the Wild}} After a group of the Maximals went missing, Tigatron and Primal hunted for them. Tigatron eventually heard their weapons fire and was able to alert Optimus. It turned out that the four Maximals had become blinded by an energon explosion and had been making their way back to base. {{storylink|Dark Voyage}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the other Maximals were expelled from their base by the Predacons with the aid of a [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]-possessed Waspinator, Airazor alerted Tigatron. Tigatron joined the other Maximals in a ploy to take back their base, which apparently involved helping Starscream to mount an assault on the &#039;&#039;[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]&#039;&#039;. {{storylink|Possession}} He also helped provide reinforcements for Dinobot and Rattrap, as the pair tried to find a cure for the [[energon discharge virus]] with which Rhinox had been afflicted. {{storylink|The Low Road}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Law of the Jungle Tigatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.34|KKHHAAAAAANNNNNN!!!]]&lt;br /&gt;
While providing aid for Cheetor and Dinobot, Tigatron easily trounced Waspinator and Inferno, but a stray shot from his weapon caused an avalanche, killing his tiger friend [[Snowstalker]]. Anguished, Tigatron quit the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], refusing to fight any longer, despite several of the Maximals trying to persuade him otherwise. In the end, it was the Predacons&#039; act of taking out Dinobot and Primal which made Tigatron realise that he had to do everything he could to protect the land. {{storylink|Law of the Jungle}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not much later, Tigatron was the first to detect a pulsing alien energy source. When Megatron initiated a somewhat suspicious truce shortly afterward, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] ordered a covert infiltration of the Predacon base. [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] made enough of a distraction to allow Tigatron inside the [[Darksyde (BW)|Predacon base]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside, he hacked his way into the ship&#039;s computer systems and found out what had Megatron so worried: The [[Vok]] were coming back, and they weren&#039;t happy. {{storylink|Before the Storm}} Tigatron returned to the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039; to monitor the alien [[Planet Buster]] which threatened the world. He and the other Maximals were saved when Optimus Primal destroyed the weapon. {{storylink|Other Voices, Part 2}} He and Airazor somehow escaped being [[Transmetal]]ized by the [[quantum surge]], but were knocked offline by Megatron while they were trying to recapture Blackarachnia. {{storylink|Aftermath}} After repairs, they left the base to search the planet for the stasis pods which had been knocked out of orbit by the explosion. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Other Visits 1 Tigatron plant.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1| &amp;quot;I&#039;ll never let go Jack...&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron and Airazor formed a very powerful relationship during this time. Unfortunately, before they could discover any still-functional pods, they found a valley untouched by the Planet Buster which also contained alien technology. The pair were soon abducted by a [[Metal Hunter|bizarre alien plant]]. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 1)}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The two were not seen again until much later, when their inert bodies were revealed to be the captives of the Vok, floating somewhere in a deep-space nebula. The Vok removed their sparks from their bodies, created a third spark, and then fused the new spark and the bodies into the awesomely powerful [[Vok]] emissary [[Tigerhawk]]. Tigerhawk was sent to Earth, while the sparks of Airazor and Tigatron followed behind. Reaching Earth, their sparks entered a comatose Cheetor, giving him a vision of Airazor and Tigatron&#039;s bodies, their sparks becoming one. But when the Vok interrupted the vision, Cheetor woke up screaming. He thought it was just a dream until he saw the combined Tigatron/Airazor spark floating before him. The combined spark led Cheetor to [[Tarantulas&#039;s lair]], where Tarantulas was attempting to steal Tigerhawk&#039;s Vok powers for himself. Ultimately, the Vok were expelled into Tarantulas&#039;s body, killing him, which left Tigerhawk&#039;s body open for Tigatron/Airazor&#039;s spark to inhabit. {{storylink|Other Victories}}&lt;br /&gt;

====&#039;&#039;Beast Wars Diorama Story&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
After [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]&#039;s involvement in the Beast Wars, Tigatron eventually met up with several [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s from [[Transformers (film)|another dimension]]. A battle broke out between the Maximals, Predacons, Autobots, and Decepticons and Tigatron found himself pitted against [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Starscream attempted to get the drop on him from the high ground, but Tigatron managed to blast the Decepticon square in the face. [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] then teamed up to take down the Decepticon for good. {{storylink|Tigatron Chapter}} The battle resolved, the other-dimensional Transformers returned to their place of origin and the Beast Wars continued as they were. {{storylink|Motorarm Chapter}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PrimevalDawn2-TigatronSpittor.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|That&#039;s an impressive transformation there, Tigatron.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron and Airazor&#039;s sparks were sent back to Earth by the [[Vok]] sometime after [[Tigerhawk]]&#039;s destruction. Tigatron&#039;s spark took possession of [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]&#039;s former body at the bottom of a lake. Joining Transmetal Airazor and a newly created [[Primal Prime]], {{storylink|Primeval Dawn Part 1}} {{storylink|Primeval Dawn II}} Tigatron scoured the planet for abandoned [[stasis pod]]s. He awoke [[Ramulus]] from his pod, but [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]] had already been reprogrammed into a Predacon by the time they reached him. Spittor had joined a reborn [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and the recently created [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]] and [[Razorclaw (BW)|Razorclaw]], and so the two groups battled. As Tigatron attempted to confront Spittor, Airazor knocked Spittor away, as she noted that the Predacon was covered in lethal poison. While they were occupied, [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], who was resurrected with the power of the Vok at his command, battled Primal Prime and ripped the [[Matrix of Leadership]] from his chest. {{storylink|Primeval Dawn Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Primal Prime Vok.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Then Airazor dies or something, yadda yadda yadda...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Primal Prime, traumatized by the separation, was reduced to a coma, so as the Predacons returned to Tarantulas&#039;s lair with their prize, Tigatron and the others retreated with their leader&#039;s body to the Ark. Tigatron and Airazor left Ramulus to commune with the Vok on their own, but could not successfully contact them. Further more, Tigatron was worried about Airazor, who seemed to have incurred long-term wounds from the battle with Ravage&#039;s Predacons. Their concerns were interrupted by an attack on the Ark, orchestrated by Ravage. However, Ramulus had apparently fled for reasons unknown, leaving Tigatron and Airazor alone against their attackers. Or not, as Primal Prime suddenly appeared behind them, possessed and rejuvenated by the Vok! {{storylink|Primeval Dawn Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|[[3H Productions|3H]] folded before the &amp;quot;Primeval Dawn&amp;quot; story could be finished, so the exact story of how Tigatron came to join the [[Wrecker]]s is unknown. It seems likely, though, based on the needs of later stories and comments by the writers, that Tarantulas was defeated, the Matrix was restored to Optimus Prime&#039;s body, and Primal Prime, Tigatron, Spittor, Ramulus, and also [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]], [[Packrat]], [[Fractyl]], and Waspinator returned to Cybertron in the transwarp portal that Tarantulas had been building. Airazor&#039;s fate is unknown.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Departure-TigatronmeltsQuake.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|What was that up above, uh, about your &amp;quot;personal code prohibiting lethal force&amp;quot;?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron, Primal Prime, and others arrived on Cybertron during Megatron&#039;s anti-biological reign and joined [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]]&#039;s Wreckers. The Wreckers and various other teams which persisted on the planet met with the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], which assigned each of them a task. When Optimus Primal objected, saying that with all these soldiers, Megatron could be defeated easily, the Oracle swept him away and cleansed his memory of the recent events. Tigatron vehemently objected to this treatment of his former commander. A set of coordinates was infused into Primal Prime&#039;s head by the Oracle. When arriving at an Autobot shuttle, which was to ferry the Wreckers to those coordinates, Tigatron felt that something was amiss. It was then that the Vehicon generals [[Spy Streak]], [[Scavenger (BM)|Scavenger]], [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]] attacked. Tigatron used his Nature&#039;s Fury attack, utterly destroying Quake. {{storylink|Departure}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the ride in the Autobot shuttle, Tigatron meditated, recovering from using his powers against Quake. Ramulus knocked at the door of his chambers to alert him to their arrival on [[Akalo|Archa Nine]], and Tigatron sensed that danger awaited the Wreckers. As half their group left to scout the planet, Tigatron stayed behind with the remainder to repair their damaged shuttle. Tigatron&#039;s feelings of dread turned out to be correct; [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] betrayed them all and stole the artifact the Wreckers were after, the [[Divine Light]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}} Apelinq had begun to lose what little faith he had in the mission, but Tigatron assured him that they must quickly mourn their fallen, soldier on, and accept their divine charge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Oracle led the Wreckers next to a desolate ice planet, where they found the exiled [[Quintesson]] scientist [[Al-Badur]]. Tigatron, meanwhile, had stayed behind with a few others on board the shuttle, where they faced an army of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s and defeated them easily. {{storylink|Disclosure}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chromutated.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I&#039;m not sure what&#039;s going on here, but it looks f@#$ing AWESOME.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In the unpublished [[The Wreckers: Finale Part 1|Wreckers #4]], Tigatron and the others learned that the Quintessons had invaded Cybertron and that [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]] was taking this opportunity to use the Divine Light to assume the powers of [[Primus]]. Tigatron rejected this idea, stating that the Vok would never allow it. The Wreckers hurried back to Cybertron, and Primal Prime took Tigatron, Ramulus, and Apelinq with him to the surface below to find and stop Cryotek.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron was taken aback by the beauty of the newly [[technorganic]] Cybertron, but he didn&#039;t get a chance to enjoy it before the Wreckers plunged into battle. Unfortunately, at the planet&#039;s core, things went wrong for them almost immediately. Cryotek had already used the Divine Light to mutate himself into a larger, more impressive version of himself, and with one blast, he had destroyed both Apelinq and Primal Prime. Before Tigatron and the others could be next, thankfully, Primus himself intervened and brought back Apelinq and Primal Prime as a single new entity, [[Sentinel Maximus]]! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As amazing as this was, it didn&#039;t take long for Cryotek to shrug it off, and soon Tigatron and the others were fighting not only Cryotek and his loyal servant and former Wrecker, Cyclonus, but also his pet [[Deployer (BM)|Deployer]], [[Chro]], who was also mutated to enormous size. Ramulus wondered why Tigatron did not simply unleash his Vok powers on their foes. Tigatron responded that doing such takes an incredible amount of focus and willpower, lest he tear himself and everything around him apart, and the moment did not lend itself to such. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon the Wreckers met up with the native Cybertronian counterforce, led by [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]. Though the two were happy to reunite, Tigatron was surprised to hear the matured Cheetor give him orders. Tigatron next found [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]] with the mangled body of his fellow Predacon, Fractyl, who was still on life support from an earlier part of their journey. Tigatron feared Rotorbolt was going to euthanize the geometrist, and so he offered to use his Vok powers to restore him. The Vok warned him that this would extinguish the last of his connection to them, but still Tigatron proceeded. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron also met up with [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]], and [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]], and after avoiding the question of the fate of Airazor, learned that Al-Badur had led the Wreckers and Cryotek to a long-forgotten Quintesson sentencing chamber. The Quintesson, attempting to &#039;port Cryotek away, locked both the Predacon and Sentinel Maximus in a containment field that threatened to suck them away into a dimension of nothingness. Tigatron and the others tried to free Sentinel Maximus with their various weapons, but had no luck. Though Cheetor and Rodimus tried to use their [[Matrix Templar]] powers to avert disaster, Sentinel Maximus ultimately sacrificed himself and Cryotek to the portal. Rodimus, who had suffered great wounds during his fight with Cyclonus, died shortly after due to these further exertions. Fractyl begged Tigatron to use his powers to save Rodimus as well, but Tigatron could not, as the Vok had since left him. Despite these losses, the Wreckers were victorious and Cybertron was saved. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Razorclaw continuity====&lt;br /&gt;
In one splinter timeline of [[Primax 496.22 Alpha]], [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]&#039;s stasis pod landed far from the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039;, and without his presence, Megatron slaughtered the Maximals. Left as the sole survivors, Tigatron and Airazor were then abducted by the Vok and then dispatched as Tigerhawk to end Megatron&#039;s machinations which threatened the Vok. Tigerhawk slew Megatron, but their reality was destroyed anyway by the [[timestorm]] Megatron&#039;s actions triggered. Subsequently, Tigerhawk was plucked by [[Unicron]] from the remnants of his home universe to become one of his [[Minion of Unicron (Universe)|Minion]] generals, renaming himself [[Razorclaw (Universe)|Razorclaw]]. However, the noble influence of Tigatron and Airazor at times posed a problem for the evil Razorclaw. {{storylink|Abduction|&#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Razorclaw profile}} {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/07}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====IDW &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
At the tail end of the Great War, Tigatron was a negotiator, respected by all sides for his desire for peace. He worked in close standing with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], [[Lio Convoy]], and [[Big Convoy]] on what came to be known as the [[Primal Council]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When news came that both [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had met their ends on the battlefield, Tigatron was sent out by the Council to try and broker an armistice between the Autobots and the Decepticons. He was accompanied by a handful of soldiers into the field for this end. Unfortunately, the first enemy camp he made contact with was headed by a renegade soldier going by the name &amp;quot;[[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]&amp;quot;. Rejecting the peace-talk outright, Megatron unleashed [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] onto his visitors before meeting with Tigatron in combat himself. The duel was ended prematurely as Tigatron was snatched up by Predaking, and Megatron headed off to attack the base of the Primal Council. Thankfully, Tigatron was rescued from the gestalt&#039;s grasp by [[Airazor (BW)|a soldier]] in his entourage. As the rest of the Autobots with them were slain, Tigatron argued with his rescuer over which one of them should head off to warn the Council of the incoming attack. Convincing him that she didn&#039;t need rescuing herself, and promising that she&#039;d see him again someday, the soldier sent Tigatron on his way. This decision was for the best as Tigatron was capable with combining with four of his fellow council members into [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]. He did so in time to push Megatron and his troops back from their assault. As transwarp energy began to rain down on the planet ([[Tarantulas (BW)|apparently]] the result of a doomsday device triggered by Galvatron) the [[Tripredacus Council]] surrendered the war on behalf of all Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pax Cybertronia was signed, but this was a bittersweet victory for Tigatron; the soldier he had promised to meet with again had been hit by transwarp energy, and in consequence was stripped of her identity and reduced to a protoform. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As [[Magmatron]] was surveying the timeline, he witnessed several key moments of the Beast Wars. Among those moments was Tigatron helping Airazor back to her feet. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Tigerhawk&#039;s body was destroyed, the two sparks contained within split, regaining their individuality. The Vok gave Tigatron a new Transmetal body. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #4}}&lt;br /&gt;

Tigatron, once known by the badge designation &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Unit 2&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;, part of the [[Maximal Command Security Force]] which protected the fragile peace that existed on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the centuries following the [[Pax Cybertronia]]. One of the Security Force&#039;s elite troops, Unit 2 was often put in charge of guarding important Maximal artifacts, a job that often required his amazing prowess at tracking. Despite his strong command of this environment, Unit 2 wondered if his destiny and place were elsewhere. {{storylink|#Timelines 2|BotCon 2006 Tigatron profile card}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] was stolen by a band of rogue [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], Unit 2 responded along with Unit 1, [[Nitrostreak]]. After Nitrostreak was incapacitated, Unit 2 attempted to follow the &#039;&#039;[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]&#039;&#039; by commandeering the &#039;&#039;[[Chromia 10]]&#039;&#039;, pursuing along with [[Airazor (BW)|its pilot]]. During the ensuing firefight with a [[Buzzsaw and Laserbeak&#039;s ship|second Predacon vessel]], their ship was badly damaged. [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] had their [[spark]]s remotely [[spark core transfer|uploaded]] to [[blank]] [[protoform]]s in the &#039;&#039;[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s cargo hold, which saved their lives, but severely damaged their core mainframes. {{storylink|Dawn of Future&#039;s Past}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two weeks after [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] was reborn on [[Earth]], Tigatron rushed out to assist the Maximals against the Predacons during a plot to launch an orbital weapon. The launching pad was destroyed by Airazor just as Tigatron arrived. {{storylink|The Razor&#039;s Edge}}&lt;br /&gt;

Following the [[Quantum surge]], Tigatron was separated from the other [[Maximal]]s and left stranded somewhere on [[Earth|Energoa]]. Following [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]&#039;s rebirth and escape from [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] was left to ponder sadly where her &amp;quot;Tigatron-sama&amp;quot; was. Elsewhere on Energoa, Tigatron could be seen staring poetically at the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 1|Beast Wars Metals #1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Left with amnesia, Tigatron scoured the snowy regions of [[Earth|Energoa]] as a samurai ronin. He encountered Blackarachnia and Tarantulas there and promptly chopped Tarantulas in two. Blackarachnia managed to block his blade with her legs and escape, though. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 2|Beast Wars Metals #2}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Believing Tigatron to still be alive, Airazor eventually went off on her own to look for him. The recovered Tarantulas later called a truce and Tigatron naively believed him. This gave Tarantulas the chance to take over Tigatron&#039;s mind with a [[Predacon control unit]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 3|Beast Wars Metals #3}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Airazor soon found Tigatron and, seeing he was being mind-controlled, linked her consciousness with his body in an attempt to free her beloved&#039;s mind. Tigatron was eventually freed from Tarantulas&#039;s control, but not before his out-of-control body delivered a fatal blow to Airazor. Coming too his senses too late, Tigatron wept as he held Airazor&#039;s lifeless form in his arms. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 4|Beast Wars Metals #4}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Succumbing to his grief, Tigatron committed ritual suicide. He was promptly revived by the energies of the sparks released by the obliterated [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]. He helped Optimus Primal defeat [[Jaguar]], but was soon met by another mindless killer zombie: Airazor. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 5|Beast Wars Metals #5}} Not wanting to hurt his beloved again, he offered her his sword and his neck. Just as zombie-Airazor began to strike, her spark entered his body through the sword. In cyberspace, the two embraced each other and vowed never to be apart again. Their sparks then merged, resulting in the all-powerful [[Tigerhawk]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 6|Beast Wars Metals #6}}&lt;br /&gt;

When [[human]] archaeologists uncovered a cave filled with primitive language, [[Mini-Con]] [[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]] translated it for them. The markings told of a time when the Maximals and Predacons crash-landed on prehistoric Earth, though the stranded Transformers were seen by the protohumans as gods. When one of the archeologists, [[Jessica Theist]], later touched one of the markings, she was bestowed a vision of the Maximals&#039; and Predacons&#039; battles.

Tigatron was an employee of [[Axalon Trading Company]] and an otaku who enjoyed Transformers fiction that featured cute girls and female Transformers. Rookie employee Rattrap, who only liked the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; part of Transformers, had little to talk to him about until they found common ground in remembering the [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#TM2|Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia]] toy and its removable &amp;quot;bra&amp;quot;. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 5#The Bishōjo Fan Gap|The Bishōjo Fan Gap}} He came with the other Transformers fans of Axalon to the [[Transformers Celebration 2014]] event, where he drooled over a [[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Super GT]] race queen model and was the only one to enjoy a video message from a pop idol group. {{storylink|Legends Bonus Vol.}} The same group also visited [[Tokyo Toy Show 2014]], where they were reprimanded by their boss, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]], for caring about toys at their age. {{storylink|Tokyo Toy Show 2014 Report#Part 1|Tokyo Toy Show 2014 Report Part 1}} On seeing [[Yūki Tai]] on stage, Tigatron commented that when his name was read in the Japanese order, it sounded like &amp;quot;saiyuuki&amp;quot;. {{storylink|Tokyo Toy Show 2014 Report#Part 2|Tokyo Toy Show 2014 Report Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;

When [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] used his &amp;quot;80s Transformation Beam&amp;quot; to revert items back to the way they were in the 80s, Tigatron didn&#039;t mind at all that a TV began showing adult-rated content at prime-time like in the old days. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 3|Bonus Edition Vol. 3}} He was much less pleased when the beam transformed his anime girl figurines into &#039;&#039;[[w:keshi|keshigomu]]&#039;&#039;. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 5|Bonus Edition Vol. 5}} The tall statures of Tigatron and the other employees of Axalon was a source of grief for Rattrap, disliked his small size. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 8|Bonus Edition Vol. 8}} When Rattrap&#039;s aunt [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] was turned into a Transformer and drove him to work, Tigatron and Rhinox were awestruck and saved her from getting arrested by [[T-AI|Ai]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 10|Bonus Edition Vol. 10}} [[File:Transformers Legends LG11 Chromia and Tigatron.jpg|thumb]] Jealous of Rattrap being so close to a Transformer lady, Tigatron prayed to the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] for the same thing to happen to him, and was immediately answered when [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] appeared before him, followed by all kinds of heroic female Transformers. They were then attacked by an equivalent group of female villains seeking to kidnap Tigatron, causing a battle to break out until Tigatron woke up, revealing the whole thing had been a dream.

During [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]]&#039;s attempt to destroy the [[Legends World|Legends Universe]], Tigatron was caught up in her windstorm and, in the aftermath, failed to realize their office had been destroyed by [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 12|Bonus Edition Vol. 12}} Tigatron and Rhinox later grew even more jealous of Rattrap as he told stories about how close he&#039;d been to Arcee growing up, but calmed down after realizing she hadn&#039;t been a Transformer during that time. {{storylink|Transformers Legends: Arcee Chapter|Arcee Chapter}} To Tigatron&#039;s shock, an amnesiac Windblade decided to live at his house, which led to him getting caught in the middle during conflicts between her and his partner Airazor. {{storylink|Windblade Sequel}} Tigatron went on to witness [[Scourge (G1)|Black Convoy]] cause trouble at Tokyo Toy Show 2015, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Black Convoy)|Bonus Edition Black Convoy}} and relocate to Metroplex&#039;s city mode when it became Axalon Co.&#039;s new office building. {{storylink|LG14 Ultra Magnus Prologue#The Mysterious Knowledgeable Grandpa Chapter|The Mysterious Knowledgeable Grandpa Chapter}} He got very excited when [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] foresaw that Blackarachnia, [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]] and [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird Shadow]] would soon appear before them. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 14|Bonus Edition Vol. 14}}&lt;br /&gt;

They succeeded, only for Strongarm to get freaked out by Tigatron&#039;s pervy behavior and lock them both up in [[stasis pod|stasis cells]], leading to them being late for work that day. {{storylink|Go!

Tigatron was among the victims gobbled up by [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] during his rampage, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}} but was fine and continued to inhabit the rebuilt [[Akihabara|Neo Akihabara City]]. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} There he watched [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] battle [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]], {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 45|Bonus Edition Vol. 45}} got blasted by [[Repugnus (G1)|Repugnus]] who was learning to control a mech suit, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 48|Bonus Edition Vol. 48}} and had his cute girl DVDs destroyed by a rampaging [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 49|Bonus Edition Vol. 49}} He then witnessed an attack by evil [[Kreon]]s, {{storylink|Transformers Legends Special Chapter|Special Chapter}} got forcibly turned into the [[Beastformer]] &amp;quot;Lewd Emperor Etchina Tiger&amp;quot; by [[White Leo]], {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 51|Bonus Edition Vol. 51}} was shocked when Akihabara was being bought up by [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]], {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 52|Bonus Edition Vol. 52}} and watched [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] arrive in the Legends World. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}} &lt;br /&gt;

Tigatron found a kindred spirit in [[Octane]], an interdimensional visitor just as perverted as him.

When [[Tigerburn]] invaded, Tigatron was turned into a [[Laser Beast]] and left stranded on a raft.

[[File:CombinerWars5-Eukaris.jpg|left|thumb|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron was a native of the planet [[Eukaris]], born from the [[hot spot]] inside the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Chela]]. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}} He abandoned [[Fur Walkers|his tribe]] long ago so that he could be with his love Airazor. {{storylink|The Chosen One}} {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When battling [[combiner]]s from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] briefly touched upon the planet, Airazor and Tigatron witnessed [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] battling against [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] in [[Talon Valley]]. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}} They later investigated the huge footprints the combiners left behind. Tigatron wanted to report their discovery to the others, but Airazor disagreed. {{storylink|All That Remains}} Eventually, the pair sought out the advice of Blackarachnia, an oracular [[Fateweaver]] who foresaw the return of their Cybertronian ancestors to their planet and ordered all four of Eukaris&#039; tribes to gather in [[Talon Valley]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Windblade06-TigatronAndAirazor.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia, Tigatron and Airazor joined the leaders of the four tribes as they discussed their next course of action, only for the Space Bridge to disgorge [[Rattrap (BW)#2005 IDW continuity|Rattrap]]—delegate for Cybertron on the [[Council of Worlds]]—who had arrived in advance to try and win over the beast-formers to his cause. Using the knowledge gleaned from his brief sojourn, proper representatives arrived a week later in the shape of [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]. The presence of vehicular &amp;quot;standard-formers&amp;quot; on his world was enough to rouse Chela from his slumber to destroy the intruders. The brief battle saw Starscream kill the Titan, and in accordance with Blackarachnia&#039;s prophecy, the leaders of Eukaris agreed to join the Council. Blackarachnia appointed Tigatron and Airazor as delegates to Cybertron, believing that their independence from Eukaris&#039;s competing tribes would make them impartial diplomats. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}} Still shunned by the citizens of Eukaris, the pair relocated to the Cybertronian city of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], where they attempted to adjust to life in their new home while quietly hoping that one day the growing population could expand beyond its borders. {{storylink|07:00:00}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Council had its first major diplomatic crisis not long afterwards, when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] announced his intent to annex [[Earth]] into the Council to defend it from further Cybertronian aggression. Both Eukarian delegates were in attendance to discuss this sudden change of events. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:0700-lifeoncybertron.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not long afterwards, the Council convened to discuss a string of mysterious [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] murders and the growing distrust of Starscream&#039;s [[Badgeless]] enforcers. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the crime spree. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Things turned sour following the death of [[Drunkatron|an inebriated Decepticon]] which most chalked up to police brutality; Tigatron and Airazor attended the emergency meeting to try and sort out what could be done. Ultimately, Ironhide stepped up as the new head of Cybertronian security. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}} Tigatron later attended a meeting where Ironhide reported on the progress of the new recruits. {{storylink|Things We Said We&#039;d Never Do}} When [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] attacked Iacon, Tigatron and the other Council delegates were temporarily evacuated. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Optimus struggled to pick up the pieces from his divisive actions, the Council afforded him a hearing so that he could explain his motivations. Although Prime insisted that his intentions were pure, its members unanimously voted against allowing Earth to join. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} The situation took a drastic turn when Optimus managed to raise [[Metrotitan (Zone)|a Titan]] from beneath [[Monument Valley]]; with Titans having great spiritual import among the colonists, the delegates began reconsidering their vote and ultimately allowed Earth, its status as a Transformer colony supposedly confirmed, a provisional seat on the Council. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights|No Fair Fights}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Months later, [[Vigilem|Carcer]] detected a fleet of [[zombie]] Titans rapidly approaching Cybertron and intent on scouring the planet clean. The Council attended an emergency meeting to discuss the threat and wound up preparing for an all-out war. As the Titans made planetfall, Iacon fought back; Airazor and Tigatron fought together on the front lines and used their [[beast mode]]s to tear through enemy armor. {{storylink|Ping}} When it became clear that they couldn&#039;t win, the two retreated back to the Council Spire. Both Airazor and Tigatron joined Windblade&#039;s strike team, aiming to invade Carcer and seize control of the Titan from its secretive leader [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]. {{storylink|Desperate Times}} Though the Carcerians shot down their insertion shuttle, the team rode the flaming debris down onto the Titan&#039;s hull, and eventually managed to infiltrate Carcer&#039;s [[brain module]] chamber, where Tigatron pinned down Obsidian as Windblade interfaced with the Titan... and learned that &amp;quot;Carcer,&amp;quot; was in, fact, the villainous [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}} Despite this, Tigatron ordered his fellows to keep Obsidian down and to allow Windblade to remain plugged in until Cybertron was safe. {{storylink|Rubicon}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ultimately, Windblade and Vigilem were able to repel the undead Titans, but Windblade was left grievously inured by the strain of controlling Vigilem, who managed to disgorge the imprisoned [[Liege Maximo]] from his innards before perishing. Tigatron and the other delegates who had been privy to the adventure attended a meeting with Elita One as the Carcerian commander explained the sordid history of Liege Maximo. Faced with a choice between revealing the existence of the Liege to Cybertron, and potentially sowing panic in the populace, or keeping the events aboard Carcer a secret, Tigatron believed that the knowledge should be shared with the citizens of the Council. {{storylink|Heavy}}&lt;br /&gt;

As Iacon rebuilt, the Council,—minus Windblade and plus the [[Mistress of Flame]]— reconvened to meet with Optimus Prime as the Autobot leader discussed sharing Transformer technology with the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]], who had recently arrived on Earth. Starscream shot down the proposal; as Earth was not yet a member of the Council, it would be a violation of the [[Tyrest Accord]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 3: Behind My Bleeding Back|Behind My Bleeding Back}} After some diplomatic maneuvering, Earth selected an [[Marissa Faireborn|ambassador]] to formally represent their planet on the galactic stage; in the ensuing ceremony commemorating this new alliance, however, [[Joe Colton|Baron Ironblood]] and his [[Iron Ring]] invaded Iacon as part of a genocidal attack on the Cybertronian species. {{storylink|First Strike issue 1|First Strike #1}} When [[Scarlett]] and her allies arrived on Cybertron, they were arrested and sent to the Council to stand trial; Tigatron gravely watched as Scarlett and [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] argued their case. {{storylink|First Strike issue 4|First Strike #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When this latest crisis was resolved, Windblade had made a full recovery and prepared to retake her seat on the Council... only for the much-changed [[cityspeaker]] to immediately run afoul of the Mistress of Flame and Starscream, resulting in her banishment from the Council and exile from Caminus. Undeterred, Windblade set out to run in Iacon&#039;s first election since the end of the war. In the ensuing three-way race between Windblade, Starscream, and Elita, the two Eukarians were firmly on Windblade&#039;s side and watched her orate in the first debate. Windblade ultimately won the election, becoming the next leader of Cybertron, with both Eukarians taking part in the victory celebrations. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Council later assembled to collect an [[Ore-13]] shipment that Optimus Prime had brought from Earth before Liege Maximo returned to Cybertron, now a prisoner of Onyx Prime. The Council granted the bestial Prime an audience where a mysterious explosion ripped through the [[Spire]], killing Alpha Trion in the process. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}} &amp;quot;Onyx Prime&#039;s&amp;quot; machinations had successfully sowed chaos across Cybertron, leaving the Council of Worlds paralyzed and unable to act for the duration of the crisis, and by the time that &amp;quot;Onyx&amp;quot; had been unmasked as a time-travelling Shockwave and arrested, the Council was too late to stop the penultimate stage in Shockwave&#039;s plan from falling into place: [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], who began a genocidal rampage across the galaxy. Shortly after the planet-eater destroyed Eukaris, Tigatron joined the other members of the Council of Worlds in an emergency meeting to discuss the situation. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Unicron then attacked and destroyed Cybertron, Airazor and Tigatron were among the many refugees who were safely teleported to [[Earth]] by the [[Visionaries]], regrouping at [[Victoria Falls]]. {{storylink|A Sunrise Dark}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars: Uprising&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron began as a street cop with the [[Maximal Command Security Force]]. As his career evolved, he worked directly with the [[Builder Assembly]] as an aide to [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Cross-Cut]], and also organized an outreach program for the Empties on the streets of Cybertron. He eventually found himself a member of the [[Maximal High Council]], the intermediary governing body which the Builders allowed to mitigate minor crimes and political matters among the proto-race.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[Grand Uprising]], Tigatron and the High Council finally decided to declare outright neutrality, building an independent [[Maximal Nation]] in the [[Tagan Heights]] and refusing to fight for either the Builders or the [[Resistance]]. Their neutrality seemed at risk during the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] counter-strike, with the Resistance asking for aid pushing on the Builder Assembly at Iacon, and the Vehicons a strong indicator that Maximal neutrality would not be tolerated much longer. Tigatron was at a loss at how to proceed when the Council received an audience from First Resistor [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] and [[Preditron]], founder of their opposing tribe. Their words swayed the Council over the seriousness of the Vehicon threat, and Tigatron ultimately voted to join the fight and advance on Iacon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron and Cheetor forged a bond as the National Maximal Army prepared to march. Tigatron confided in the &amp;quot;little cat&amp;quot; that he had doubts about their chances of success, but was certain the Builders would re-enslave them if the Vehicons were successful. Tigatron and the Council fought within the ranks of their soldiers in their combined form as [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war against the Builders and their grand mistake the Vehicons was won, but at great cost. [[Lio Junior|Lio Minor]] was killed in the war as part of Magnaboss, leaving the High Council a member short. Tigatron proposed membership to Cheetor at [[Hyperious]] during the peace summit, but the First Resistor ultimately declined. The [[Under-3|head]] of the Maximal Academy was chosen instead. {{Storylink|Derailment}}&lt;br /&gt;

After helping the Maximals defeat Megatron&#039;s Predacon forces once and for all, Tigatron decided that he, along with Airazor, would remain on prehistoric Earth, despite their comrades’ urgings to join them on their journey back to Cybertron. Together, they remained on what they felt was their true place for the centuries to come. Someday, they plan to return to Cybertron, as visitors from a distant world almost forgotten... {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (N64)}}&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Tail-gun, water-shooting gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the third wave of [[Hasbro]] &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]&#039;&#039; Deluxes, the original Tigatron toy is a [[redeco]] of the original [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Cheetor]] toy in cream, silver, and green, transforming into a fairly generic big cat in shape. His [[robot mode]] parts color layout is notably different from Cheetor&#039;s. In robot mode, he is armed with a rifle made out of his hindquarters and tail, along with a second [[Water-squirting gimmick|water-squirting]] &amp;quot;gut gun&amp;quot; formed out of his stomach. This cannon is usable in both modes, but in [[beast mode]], it&#039;s awkward and just plain weird. As with most early &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys, he features a &amp;quot;[[mutant head]]&amp;quot; that replaces his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version was released a year later, coincidentally also in the third wave of Takara&#039;s version of the line, in a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] bright white color, with his [[Paint operation|paint applications]] directly copied from Cheetor&#039;s layouts just as the show model had done. This version also has a slight [[Retool|mold tweak]] to keep the beast head pointed forward. Historically, this version of the figure is extremely susceptible to its white plastic [[photodegradation|yellowing]], to the point it will eventually match the color of its Hasbro version. So enjoy that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make [[Shadow Panther#Toys|Shadow Panther]] and &amp;quot;[[Ravage (G1)/toys#ShadowPanther|Tripredacus Agent]]&amp;quot;. It was slated to be used for &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Nightprowler#Toys|Nightprowler]], but that toy set was canceled.&lt;br /&gt;

He transforms into a mechanical cat with flip-out thruster-wings. His robot mode arms have spring-loaded flip-out blaster grips, which also have barrel extensions that can be clipped to his legs in beast mode. His tail separates to become a whip weapon, but he doesn&#039;t hold it very well. His chest panels open up to reveal a decal; he also came with an extra decal sheet to display other options within his chest, plus Maximal and [[Wrecker]]s [[insignia|faction symbol]] decals for extra customization.

*The original concept art for Tigatron, shown in the &amp;quot;[[Beast Wars Reborn Golden Disc]]&amp;quot;, shows that he was originally intended to be a [[retool]]ing of the mold, rather than a simple [[redeco]], changing his [[beast mode]] head and a lot of his [[robot mode]] parts (yet not the face), as well as giving him some kind of horrible tumor gun.

On top of that, his name was spelled &amp;quot;Tig&#039;&#039;&#039;er&#039;&#039;&#039;tron&amp;quot; in said Hasbro catalog.&lt;br /&gt;
**This coloration was later utilized for the comic-exclusive &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]&#039;&#039; incarnation of [[Cheetor (BWSG)|Cheetor]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Tigatron&#039;s beast mode may well have been female. His template animal was female, and while wild felines have size differences between males and females Tigatron and Snowstalker were shown as being the same size; indeed, they were for all intents and purposes identical, such that [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] thought Snowstalker &#039;&#039;was&#039;&#039; Tigatron. (Though to be fair, Waspinator is not the brightest crayon in the box.)&lt;br /&gt;
*In the Japanese dub of &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;, for the sake of humor, Tigatron was played as a &amp;quot;samurai&amp;quot; {{w|rōnin}} (to explain his wandering ways). He spoke in an archaic dialect, ending sentences with &amp;quot;de gozaru&amp;quot; (an honorific that eventually evolved into the modern &amp;quot;desu&amp;quot;). Additionally, since [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] was made male in the Japanese dub, &amp;quot;he&amp;quot; was presented as Tigatron&#039;s ward whom he looked to as a &amp;quot;brother&amp;quot; (hence the close bond). Eventually, after the events of &amp;quot;[[Other Visits (Part 1)|Other Visits]]&amp;quot;, their romantic relationship was &amp;quot;outed&amp;quot; to the audience.&lt;br /&gt;
*An unused idea by [[Larry DiTillio]] was that the Vok ceased trying to destroy Earth because contact with Tigatron (after his abduction) made them question the morality of the tactic.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/vok.txt Translation of relevant text from the book &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Universe]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Tigatron&#039;s role in the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; cartoon was originally intended for [[Wolfang (Maximal)|Wolfang]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_frm/thread/9c79c4226fc6dd28/30c3cdf158ea6e52?lnk=st&amp;amp;amp;q=bob+forward+beast+wars+tigatron+wolfang&amp;amp;amp;rnum=1#30c3cdf158ea6e52 alt.toys.transformers]. The change was also discussed in the commentary track on one of the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; DVD releases.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Tigatron&#039;s [[package art]] is one of a handful that features the toy&#039;s mutant head instead of the regular robot head, to rather hilarious effect.&lt;br /&gt;
*He has a [[Tigatron Stadium|stadium named after him]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Cheetor and Tigatron are the only characters in &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]&#039;&#039; who are definitely [[Scale|in the correct scale]] to the lifeforms they adopted as beast modes, as each is seen nearby real versions of the animals they mimic.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tigatron&#039;s animation model (and thus that of Cheetor&#039;s original body as well) is one of the comparatively more [[Show-accuracy|toy-accurate]] of the Season One cast. His transformation scheme, however, is simplified by having his arms and crotch-piece unfold from his beast mode&#039;s belly instead of its back.&lt;br /&gt;
