The Decepticons had planned to use a forest fire as a source of energy, but soon found themselves spied upon by Jan Minakaze.

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 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. Watch Out, 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. Mighty! Victory Saber There, Blacker caught up to the pair and snatched Solon off Tigerbreast's back.
