Tigertrack

Tigertrack is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

I must order you because God told me to.

A fierce and dedicated sentry, Tigertrack patrols Autobot installations with unmatched vigilance. His incredibly acute sensor packages enable him to spot approaching enemies through extreme low-visibility conditions, and can even see through camouflage screens and other optical illusions. Combined with powerful weapons and blazing speed, Tigertrack is one tough bot to get past!

Toys

Generation 1

• Tigertrack (Autobot, 2003)

Japanese ID number: 90

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.
