Victory comic

[edit]

Tigerbreast served as Solon's steed when the boy accompanied Deathsaurus into the field. The Decepticons had planned to use a forest fire as a source of energy, but soon found themselves spied upon by Jan Minakaze. Solon had Tigerbreast spring towards the boy so that he could capture him and bring him before the Decepticon Emperor. However, Autobot reinforcements then came charging in, and forced the Decepticons to retreat. Great Reversal! Star Saber

Tigerbreast was napping at Deathsaurus's feet when the Decepticon leader learned that Leozack had disobeyed orders and headed for Earth on his own. Leozack's Rampage!

After Jan was kidnapped by Yokuryu and brought before Deathsaurus, Tigerbreast unsuccessfully attempted to intimidate the boy. Tigerbreast was then sent tumbling away when Star Saber burst into Deathsaurus's throne room to rescue Jan. Danger, Jan! Hurry, Star Saber!

He once more served as Solon's steed after the boy was badly burnt during a fight between Kingsaurus and Victory Saber. Tigerbreast traversed the gulf of space to return Solon to Earth. Victory Saber Is Strong! There, Blacker caught up to the pair and snatched Solon off Tigerbreast's back. Blacker convinced Solon to join the fight against the Decepticons, which Solon announced to his now former-leader after Tigerbreast brought him to where the Decepticons were currently facing off against the Autobots. Shine, Five Stars of Victory

Tigerbreast trotted alongside a badly damaged Deathsaurus as the Decepticon emperor revealed to the Autobots that his forces had been collecting energy from Earth to sustain their families. The war between the two factions ended shortly thereafter in a peaceful truce. The Grand Victory War

2005 IDW continuity

[edit]

Tigerbreast accompanied Deathsaurus when his forces were pinned down on the planet Frayus, and he took part in the three-way skirmish between the forces of the Galactic Council and the Black Block Consortia. Journey's End

Toys

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]

That's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat. Really love your tiger breast.
  • Deszaras (Breastforce, 1989)
Released in the Victory portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Tigerbreast transforms from a robotic tiger (with a lot of stuff on his back) into a blaster cannon, plus he has a third mode as a piece of chest armor for Deathsaurus. In armor mode, he's designed to be the main piece, with the Decepticon leader's other "Breast Animal" partner Eaglebreast tucked away behind Tiger, deep in Deathsaurus's chest cavity.
Tigerbreast's cannon mode actually lacks any kind of peg to allow Deathsaurus to hold him "properly", instead relying on slotting Deathsaurus's fist into a groove on Tigerbreast's underside and letting simple friction do the job.
Of course, he was only available packed in with Deathsaurus and Eaglebreast.


Legacy

[edit]
Oh please, you haven't met the real Tiger King.
The third Transformers figure produced through Hasbro's crowdfunding platform HasLab, the huge, immaculately cartoon-accurate Deathsaurus is naturally packed with his "Micromasters", "Tigerchest" and "Eaglechest". As the set prioritizes animation-accuracy, this more posable take on Tigerchest's weapon mode is now a longbow, complete with arrow, though this time he attaches to Deathsaurus's inner forearm to simulate the longbow grip. One can still easily replicate the original toy's gun mode with this figure... however, the only way for Deathsaurus to hold it as a gun is by using Tigerchest's tail as a handle, which is a super-loose fit and makes him floppy-flop around in Deathsaurus's hand.
The chromed crescents are removable - mostly so they can be packed very safely in the box to avoid damage during shipping - and attach via 5 mm posts.
Like Victory Saber, Deathsaurus cost $179.99 USD and required 11,000 "backers" to go into production. The crowdfunding began on October 27, 2022, and ran through December 12 with an expected shipping date of Fall 2023. The set was fully funded on November 28, 2022—14 days before the project deadline. It began shipping to purchasers in December 2023.


Merchandise

[edit]

Transformers Gum

[edit]
  • War for Cybertron Optimus Prime (2012)
Tigerbreast was released by Kabaya as a snap-together kit, and can assume the modes of the original toy. He has no articulation in beast mode, but can be held in the hand of Deathsaurus in gun mode. He can also combine with Deathsaurus by affixing to his chest. Unlike Deathsaurus or Eaglebreast, Tigerbreast does not require any partforming to change modes.
Though he is designed to interact with the Deathsaurus figure, Tigerbreast came packaged with War for Cybertron Optimus Prime.

Notes

[edit]
  • When the original Deathsaurus mold was redecoed into the non-living "Red Geist" mech for Takara's The Brave of Legend Da-Garn toyline, Tigerbreast was the only one of his partners to be included as well. In the accompanying show, Tigerbreast's weapon mode was reinterpreted as a jet mode.

Foreign names

[edit]
  • Japanese: Tigerchest (タイガーチェスト Taigāchesuto)
