Let's hope Airazor doesn't find out about this.

(Note: although it picks up after the first season, the Beast Wars Metals manga is not in-continuity with the television series.)

In the Beast Wars Metals manga, Tigatron was interpretted as a samurai warrior and given a character re-design to reflect that angle. At one point, he is forced to do battle with the spark-less body of his beloved Airazor. Not wishing to harm her, he willingly let the evil Airazor take the opportunity to decapitate him.

Just as evil Airazor began to strike, the spark of the real Airazor entered his body. In cyberspace, the two embrace eacher other and vow never to be apart again. Their sparks then merge, resulting in the all-powerful Tigerhawk.
