Toys

Generation 1

  • Tigertrack (Autobot, 2003)
  • Japanese ID number: 90
  • Accessories: Rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles


A mail-away exclusive to the Japanese Figure King magazine, Tigertrack is a redeco of the original Sideswipe toy, transforming into a Lamborghini Countach LP500S. As he was released only in Japan, his spring-loaded missile launcher is fully operational. Several factory-applied decals on the original version were replaced by painted tampographs, like his headlamps.
The base mold is also used for Clamp Down, Deep Cover and Red Alert.

Trivia

  • Like many of the e-Hobby exclusives, Tigertrack's coloration is based on a pre-Transformers Diaclone variation of the mold.
  • According to early Transformers media and his bio, Sunstreaker (originally called Spin-Out) should look like Tigertrack. This is presumably owing to confusion between the Diaclone colors and the switched final coloring of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
