When Alligatron led a Decepticon-supported rebellion against the ruling Lion clan of Beast, the loyalists were soon at a disadvantage. To bring in the Autobots to counteract the Decepticons, Platinum Tiger snuck into the occupied palace so that he could use the communications room to contact their possible allies. However, Alligatron left a trap for any unaware enemies: the Holography Mirror. Platinum Tiger found himself trapped in it. Series 1 catalog
When White Leo led a group of Beastformers to rescue the slaves held inside a Decepticon factory, he contacted Platinum Tiger through the Holography Mirror. However, Platinum Tiger was unable to help them, as the carnivorous piragilons infested the swamp around the factory. Battleship Maximus, however, was able to drain the swamp of its water, leaving the flopping piraglions and allowing the Beastformers safe passage into the caverns in the swamp. White Leo continued to contact Platinum Tiger to lead them through the maze of caverns to the factory. Thanks to Platinum Tiger's help, they were able to rescue the slaves. Rebellion on Planet Beast
