Tigatron was a maximal and soldier during the Beast Wars saga. When the maximals' ship had to deploy numerous stasis pods into orbit, Tigatron's pod was the first to crash onto prehistoric Earth, supposedly Russia. When Tigatron awoke, he took the form of a white tiger and loved what he saw around him. He became a maximal warrior for the first season and became close friends with Cheetor and Airazor, another protoform like Tigatron. Like Rhinox, he loved nature and became a maximal scout so that he could live with his tiger counterparts. He and Airazor were abducted by aliens in season 2 and were presumed dead towards the end of season 3 when the aliens merged the two maximals together to form Tigerhawk. Tigerhawk was terminated in the series finale by Megatron.
