As per his Hasbro designer [[Mark Maher]], he also features beast mode sculptwork pulled directly from the previously released ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Kingdom]]'' [[Tigatron#War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Tigatron]] and [[Airazor (BW)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Airazor]] molds, carried over for obvious reasons.<ref name = "Pulsecon"/> The original toy's spring-loaded launching feathers are now hand-wielded feather swords, while the original toy's spring-loaded missile launchers are now merely hand-held 5 mm-compatible nonworking cannons. The double-barreled weapon sculpted into the original toy's right forearm is now a separate 5 mm-compatible accessory. This Tigerhawk lacks the original's falcon mask as it was not shown on the show model, though one was likely planned given the unused slot on the tiger forehead and matching unused storage slot under the tail feathers.		:Released in the seventh wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy]]'' Leader class figures, ''Legacy: United'' "Beast Wars Universe Tigerhawk" is based on his ''Beast Wars'' design, now featuring show-accurate purple and copper colors.

			:Predictably, this figure was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes\|Age of the Primes ]]'' [[Razorclaw (Universe)#Toys\|Razorclaw]].

			:The ratchet for each hip joint tends to be incredibly tight, which can lead to breakage of the ratchet mechanisms for one or both hips over time, resulting in very loose leg joints. This issue seems to have been corrected with the Razorclaw version of this mold.

	:Released in the seventh wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy]]'' Leader class figures, ''Legacy: United'' "Beast Wars Universe Tigerhawk" is based on his ''Beast Wars'' design, now featuring show-accurate purple and copper colors. As per his Hasbro designer [[Mark Maher]], he also features beast mode sculptwork pulled directly from the previously released ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Kingdom]]'' [[Tigatron#War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Tigatron]] and [[Airazor (BW)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Airazor]] molds, carried over for obvious reasons.<ref name = "Pulsecon"/> The original toy's spring-loaded launching feathers are now hand-wielded feather swords, while the original toy's spring-loaded missile launchers are now merely hand-held 5 mm-compatible nonworking cannons. The double-barreled weapon sculpted into the original toy's right forearm is now a separate 5 mm-compatible accessory. This Tigerhawk lacks the original's falcon mask as it was not shown on the show model, though one was likely planned given the unused slot on the tiger forehead and matching unused storage slot under the tail feathers.		:Released in the seventh wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy\|Legacy]]'' Leader class figures, ''Legacy: United'' "Beast Wars Universe Tigerhawk" is based on his ''Beast Wars'' design, now featuring show-accurate purple and copper colors.
