We have product codes for Deluxe Class Road Rage and the yet-to-be-seen Voyager Class Tigatron.
Via a Target store listing, Road Rage is indeed set to be an exclusive. Her DPCI code (her internal Target inventory code, shown below) brings up a listing for only her figure, at the new Deluxe price point of $22.99. Normally, our source tells us, giving a DPCI code will bring up all the figures of a size class. For instance, the DPCI for Kingdom Deluxe Class figures would bring up a somewhat generic listing for "Transformers WFC Deluxe". Search for a character name instead, Arcee for example, and you'd find her listing, but she'd have the same DPCI code as the earlier "WFC Deluxe". Road Rage, however, has a code that brings up a listing for her and her only, similarly to how Earthrise Runabout (also a previous Target exclusive) was listed. This indicates that she'll be shipping in solid cases- assuming she's sold in stores, and not as an online exclusive like Leader Class T-Wrecks.
The other listing shows us that not only is Tigatron coming in a future Wave, but that he'll also be a Voyager Class figure, and not a simple retool of the other Maximal cat, Cheetor. Searching for his specific name brings up his listing, but the DPCI attached shows him to not only be sold at the Voyager price point, but to also be part of a regular Voyager Class assortment, as it shows a specific shelf location assigned to Voyager Class figures.
So what do you think, Seibertronians? Are you excited to add these two figures to your collection when they do show up? It's not known at this time when either figure will be released, only that their existence is confirmed with these listings being provided. Feel free to speculate below on any possible wavemates for Tigatron, and how you think Road Rage will be available.

So there are four Cat Bots in this line (including Ravage). Do we know how this tallies with show representation? I assume Ravage won't be in the show. But Tigatron and Shadow Panther?

That's true. Shadow Panther remains a bit of an oddity to Beast Wars though. Given how much effort was given to his creation (separate from Ravage).

Why they didn't just pull one from the 1997 Deluxe Maximals I don't know. Maybe at the time of Rhinox's Japanese release the 1997 ones weren't yet available for Takara to use, as the first one they used (Cybershark) didn't see release until four months after Rhinox and Shadow Panther were released.
Posted by Sabrblade on July 22nd, 2021 @ 10:21am CDT
In all honesty, Shadow Panther was really created to just be filler. There was an uneven number of 1996 Deluxe class Maximals and Predacons (5 Maximals, 4 Predacons) and so Takara needed one more Deluxe class Pred to even things out for their VS 2-packs, as Rhinox needed a foe of his own.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:That's true.

Tigatron's looking really nice. I think I'd prefer having a posable tail, and actual storage for the gun, but otherwise this is looking really good. I really like what they did with the bot mode legs though

Finally a look at Tigatron.
Looks really nice. Like the size.
The eyes aren't dead though, they are black with white around them.
Though maybe people expected them to be bright metallic green.

Tigatrons looking nice (I'm not keen on the crotch piece/waist and maybe the legs) but I'm still going MP for him. Way better than cheetor which hasbro is proving its pretty hard to do a figure that's worse than cheetor at this point

Transformers Kingdom Tigatron was definitely the most hyped up figure of the line due to the mystery of how he would turn out. Was he really a new mold? well, yes and no it turns out. Prime vs Prime has a video review up for this yet to be revealed toy and it does have A LOT of Cheetor's transformation and aesthetic, which is show accurate. However, he is a new mold since he is bigger than Cheetor, and a different animal.
You can see multiple comparisons in the video review. Let us know what you think!

A far, far better rendition of the character than Cheetor is, especially since Tigatron actually gets his gun!
The twinges of off-white look a bit odd, almost like he was left out in the sun and discolored. I guess it's accurate to the original toy, but it just looks...off. I'd prefer all white.

As do real life white tigers, which is what this line seems to be going for. "All white" tigers aren't real (nor are they an actual species), it's just a condition where most of their orange fur is white instead but bits of the orange fur is still there, creating that offwhite effect.

The original toy was a single, homogeneous tone of white, it's accurate to real white tigers, which often have darker or dirtier patches in their fur.

I like Tigatron a lot from the looks of things. I'm in the unpopular belief that Cheetor isn't half-bad (he's flawed, but not bad) and Tigatron is still leaps and bounds of an improvement. Personally I was hoping his gut gun would store. I wasn't personally attached to the gut gun so it being absent from Cheetor didn't bother me but it's still nice to see it with Tigatron.
When seeing group shots, I can't help but feel that Rhinox sticks out like a sore thumb. Ignoring accuracy, he still doesn't fit in with the rest of the Maximals.

I think the off-white parts are not the problem, I think the parts that are monotonically milk-white are the problem (like the tiger-back). If they had picked another shade of white the contrast would not be this big.

Tigatron has turned out pretty good, the shared parts and identical transformation to Cheetor doesn't surprise or disappoint me, because I do like Cheetor and there's enough differences with Tigatron so that he feels like his own unique thing. I'm looking forward to this one.

Wow, never knew Tigatron was so we'll liked. Cool to see as he was my favorite as well. I just remember having the Hasbro/Kenner one and it being a cream white as opposed to the Takara one which was a pure white.

He's definitely a beloved character, one of my favourites as well. And I would say of all Beast Wars characters, he's the one that really embodies the theme of this new era with his personality (really owning to the idea of a beast mode).
I see some comments (not here) claiming that this is a stolen sample and I don't get it. This product is packaged and ready for distribution. Don't know how PVP got it, don't care, but this is clearly not a toy stolen from the factory floor. I thought people were smarter.

Never had the toy, only managed to get a Cheetor knockoff like in 2001. But I loved Tigatron's character in the tv show, I'm pretty sure he's a fan favorite, just a bit low-key because he isn't as flashy or on screen as much as guys like Dinobot or Waspinator were.

I'm not sure, he just looks off. I think his arms are the most "off" thing about him. He looks like a figure from an entirely different toyline when compared to other Kingdom toys.
It's definitely still stolen, but it's just a more completed sample as opposed to his usual factory floor samples. There's currently no way he obtained one legitimately unless Hasbro's prepared Wave 4 to drop next month... which obviously isn't the case.

They've pushed up the release of my Core Soundwave twice now. First they said September, then mid August, and now July 28. Earlier the better, it's just strange that they keep doing this.
Meanwhile my wave 3 Deluxes that were supposed to be here Wednesday from Target have been sitting in Massachusetts since Wednesday morning. It's already 5:30pm and the tracking still says it hasn't moved despite also insisting it'll be delivered today just as it did yesterday (not moving, but still coming that day).

The only thing I find a bit puzzling about Tigatron is the use of the tail as a tail whip instead of the classic rump gun. There's a whole portion of the beast mode back hanging off the robot mode as a useless flap. Why not just make that and the tail a single detachable accessory that folds into a gun? It would have solved a part of the transformation, made a callback to the original figure, given the figure a cooler weapon than just a ripped off tail, and it's the same amount of parts. Maybe even less parts, as they've probably left out the metal pin that way.

No not different in terms of his character design but his actual figure's design.
This Rhinox doesn't sit well with me and I don't really know why. The T30 version seems to fit slightly better with the Kingdom crowd, but I've heard that figure has plenty of problems on its own.
Maybe in hand he'll look better, but images don't seem too flattering for him.

You mean to say that the figure with a 1:1 height to width ratio somehow has a different built than the figures that seem to have a 3:1 height to width ratio?
No not different in terms of his character design but his actual figure's design.
This Rhinox doesn't sit well with me and I don't really know why. The T30 version seems to fit slightly better with the Kingdom crowd, but I've heard that figure has plenty of problems on its own.
Maybe in hand he'll look better, but images don't seem too flattering for him.

Tigatron is absolutely perfect. I'm looking forward getting him.

Tigatron looks amazing, I'm really looking forwards to him now more so than ever (and seeing the other 3 new figures in that wave, since Waspinator leaked a while ago at this point).
Looking at the close-up shots here and on TFW, the eyes ARE a yellowish-green with black pupils, but the black AROUND the eyes is thick enough that from a further away perspective, the eyes appear black.Overcracker wrote:The eyes aren't dead though, they are black with white around them.
Though maybe people expected them to be bright metallic green.
Yeah, I have the T30 figure in front of me right now and have seen the Kingdom one in-person at Target, and it really looks like the only things the Kingdom figure does better is the bigger chest jaw (but it's got visible hinges in it's center and it's proportions are still off from the show model), actual paint on the guns (but the guns themselves are tiny and pathetic), and I would assume tighter hips, other than that the molding and the colors are just too off.Nuclearxpotato wrote:No not different in terms of his character design but his actual figure's design.

Tigatron looks good. I'm glad he's getting released and I'm sure I'll get it.
Does anyone else get the feeling that PrimeVsPrime's reviews are a little disingenuous? His early-release reviews are overly-gushing. I like almost all Transformers figures too, but I get the sense that he receives early releases because they know he is very rarely going to be critical of the figures.

My excitement over Tigatron and the kingdom line in general made me want to rewatch the series on tubi
And I noticed that scorponoks missiles have Maximal symbols on them. Not sure if thats a mistake or the intention is for for missiles to be Maximal seeking or something

Funny you mention that because I believe the intent was Maximal seeking or Maximal kill count, but Hasbro told Mainframe to remove it in future episodes to avoid that confusion

Ravage continues to look stunning. That is an easy grab for me.
Tigatron looks great!! Wow they did him good! I am excited to get him!
I've seen more people on Twitter getting Tracks, and continued disappointment. I want Road Rage, but I have the MP already, and not sure if I want to try out that mold at all

And I am very glad I got Tigatron preordered when the Amazon link first went live. I have no problems with my Cheetor and would like a bigger cat on the Maximal crew

Got my wingfinger from target today. Figured out how to incorporate att the parts into the combined mode, except for primal's mace. Even gave him a gun, a tail, and what I am calling a "Bone-arang" adding the chest tusks really give me a magnaboss homage feeling. Sadly my oaleotrex is sooooooooo loose the combined form is really kind of a floppy mess. Has anyone come up with a name for this bag-o-bones? Will probably do a proper review on this soon. Been sick and packing for moving, so no telling when.

Yeah, Tigatron had several standout episodes in Season 1 that made him both likable and memorable: "A Better Mousetrap", both parts of "The Trigger", "Call of the Wild", and especially "Law of the Jungle".o.supreme wrote:Wow, never knew Tigatron was so we'll liked. Cool to see as he was my favorite as well. I just remember having the Hasbro/Kenner one and it being a cream white as opposed to the Takara one which was a pure white.

Always one of my faves as well. I hold a lot of that to his voice actor Blu Mankuma and his amazing emotional range. He could go from calm and serene to gutteral growls. Just like a tiger.

But it being packaged proves that it is the case. Hasbro wont hold onto ready to ship product. We followed them every step of the way in their Unicron campaign, the packaging is the last step and they ship directly to distributors (which is probably who expedited the figure to PVP). So yeah, this product is distribution ready, the review confirms that. Hasbro is indeed prepared to drop the wave 4 voyagers within the next month or so. This is the same time frame we had for siege. August is right around the corner and it takes over a month to ship by boat. Add another few weeks for it to be transported to local distributors and then the central warehouse of the retail store which will then ship to their own stores and you end up in September and low and behold, that's when wave 4 gets spotted usually in north america.

So yeah, 0 indication of theft (unless you have solid proof) and this timeline fits exactly with when Siege wave 4 came out. I don't know why we are so quick to accuse people of crimes and ignore facts.

I saw this topic going on on Twitter, so I'll add here what I said there: If he is a thief, he has a big brass pair because he shows his face several times on his Facebook and Youtube. Statute of Limitations on theft is generally 7 years, and prosecuting a thief doesn't cost much for a corp like Hasbro. Besides, he reviews a lot more than just Transformers. Is he stealing those too?!?!
Anyways, with Cheetor, Shadow Panther, Tigatron, and the surprise Agent Ravage, Kingdom has a lot of cats, and I am here for it!

I don't care about your personal vendetta or your wild accusations. If you want to make a thread about "thieving theories", make the thread in the "general discutions" forum.
Damn, I miss Burn.
