Tigatron



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. One in particular, Snowstalker, became a victim in a battle against the predacons and sacrificed herself to save Tigatron. Tigatron buried her and from then on, he decided to take no part in the Beast Wars. Later in the episode, he fought off several predacons by himself and joined the maximals once again.

In the second season, he and Airazor went to travel the world and find more crashed stasis pods, but they came across an alien planet which transported them to an unknown alien region. They were captured until towards the end of the third season when the aliens took their bodies to form a transmetal fuzor called Tigerhawk. Tigerhawk destroyed the predacon base and almost destroyed Megatron but got captured by Tarantulas. The aliens sacrificed themselves to destroy Tarantulas and Tigatron was returned to normal but he and Airazor now shared a body called Tigerhawk. In the last episode, Tigerhawk sacrificed himself to stop Megatron in his new warship but could not and was destroyed.
