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 Jean 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 Turn-Around! 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 Rumbles Violently!

After Jean 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 Jean. Watch Out, Jean! Hurry, Star Saber!

He once more served as Solon's steed after the boy was badly burnt during a fight between King Zaras and Victory Saber. Tigerbreast traversed the gulf of space to return Solon to Earth. Mighty! Victory Saber 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.
