When Perspective starts a video by repeatedly saying yes, you know it’s good.

Hey Man,Thanks for the Shoutout! The surgery did go well,as for the figure,i always thought Tigerhawk had a Awesome design and this Figure just amplifies that to the extreme!

With Beast Wars I've always felt that it's a bit like Portal 2 or Borderlands 1 or even Halo CE in that it's AGED, but there is a strong enough Art style and design that you don't really notice that age because every other visual aspect has such a fucking strong feel of, 'Yes, it's MEANT to look like this.' Or maybe I'm insane.

I thought the Beast Wars animation looked antiquated, but then I saw Rodimus Primal's retrospective on Dinobot and I knew I had to give the show a chance, no regrets

Tigerhawk started out as a TransMetal 2 version of Silverbolt before they changed him into a Tigertron/Airazor combo. That's why his beast mode has almost the same configuration.

I still remember the part Tigerhawk said," Tigerhawk, I like the sound of that." is one of my favourite lines because it establishes the Tigatron and Airazor in him, having Tigatron's voice and Airazor's personality

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Tigerhawk's OG toy was meant to be an updated silverbolt at some point in development, hence the fact he's like, the only transmetal fuzor. Could be wrong about that though.

G2 and Beast Wars were having an insane block party everybody missed

I dont think I've seen you express so much emotion on a single video.

Beast Wars animation has aged a bit but it was so cutting edge and the writing was so good its also aged amazingly. Rewatched the series a few months ago with my partner who is only somewhat into Transformers and now she LOVES Dinobot and Rattrap and was genuinely sad/upset that neither of them were in ROTB.

"I don't know why he needs a hard line directly to take control of shitting ..." Made me spit out my drink laughing lol

Y'know despite being born in 2008 and seeing so many shows when i watched beast wars i never really thought that the animation was bad. I just was like "it was the best of it's time and it still holds up today" i never really thought it was ugly. I really enjoyed it

Just like the Vok, Hasbro dragonball fusion Airazor and Tigertron from Kingdom, into Legacy fuzor Tigerhawk, and did an awesome job.

I love, and I mean LOVE how tigerhawk's alt mode has the buffest ever front and then a twig like behind, i love it so much

The ultra Magnus callback was hilarious 🤣

Beast Wars is peak. I don't care what people think. These characters are amazing. Usually the villans are one-note, bad because bad, generic villans. But in BW, they have solid motivations and personalities. The visuals hold up well, and the Voice Acting is stunning.

This is peak transformers😂 also I just got to the part where you asked the beast wars question and my answer is I watched it I don’t like it it’s good for it’s time and a pretty quality show. Even new transformer shows have a hard time keeping up with it so I really like it. Keep up the good work.❤

Beast Wars still looks gorgeous and so does this figure. Immaculate. It never really clicked in my head that Tigerhawk is a Transmetal 2 Fuzor. Damn!

man you really hit the nail on the head. Tigerhawk is basically "What if beastwars, but Generation 2. " i love it.

Eating Easter breakfast with this! I knew you would love this thing!

Tigatron & Airazor: FUUUSION---HAA! we are----TIGERHAWK!!!!In memory of Akira toriyama.

I watched beast wars after hearing u praise it to the allspark and back (and also the entire show is on youtube) and while the animation is very much dated (specificly the enviroments) the sheer greatness of everything else completly makes up for it and by the time of the second episode i stopped noticing the flaws cuz i was just having such a good time watching it. Seriosly its one of my favorite tv shows PERIOD! And i cannot thank u enough for convincing me to give it a chance.

I grew up with transformers Animated and transformers Prime. I then gave beast wars a chance and my goodness, best decision of my life. Amazing characters, great voice-acting and sound track, and a very well-written plot. Ofc the animation is outdated but you really get used to it and it fits the overall ‘feel’ of the show. People need to know that this was revolutionary for its time and it was the most expensive cartoon ever produced. Highly highly, HIGHLY recommended!!!

You are right on Beast Wars, the show literally carried the franchise and arguably saved it. I'm G1 fan but I love watching beast wars. Tigerhawk looks very cool without a doubt, thanks for the review!

That intro of silence and then sigh made me think you hated it and then YES

Beast awars isn't ugly... just old. Keep in mind that Beast Wars was one of first full CGI shows. Image it with modern animation.

It's so great to have this, dragon megs, and potp optimal optimus! They all naturally go super well together on the shelf, I'd have to pick tigerhawk as the best of the 3, it's so damn good!

I love this figure! Can´t wait for mine to arrive! As I said in your Livestream The only thing I don´t like is his beast head, I see bear´s head, not a Tiger´s head... Yeah he is definitely Polar Claw!

1:21 I have a pretty bad headache rn. This bit made me laugh so hard. Definitely made my day better. 👍

Literally got this last night. Beginning of the vid was my reaction to seeing him on shelf

Its always nice to see this dude happy

I got mine the other day and agree good sir. YES.

You’re the only Tf reviewer I watch … been broke can’t buy as much … but you make me happy n entertained lol

To answer your question, I got into Beast Wars after Watching Rodimus Primals retrospective on Dinobot and I saw how the animation was "aged" I saw that it looked very good and I watched it and I loved the writing of the show, the characters, and some of the humor actually made me laugh.

Hi PE. I finally got for myself an MP Skyfire. I got him at a discount, since this one has a wingflap rather bent. IMHO this Jet mode really did not need a wingflaps gimmick. I would have preferred solid wings. Anyway, while I am certainly impressed, there are definitely a few problems with him. 1) You said his transformation was good. We must have been handling different figures then. Skyfire's backpack keeps fighting me, when I try to shove in or out his arms, and when I try to compress his backpack. An unholy amount of force is required to close his backpack. I watched Emgo's vid, and noticed even he didn't compress the bottom part all the way. 2) I am genuinely worried that his white would turn yellow. Then again, FT Phoenix was white and didn't turn yellow, so maybe there's hope. But I have personally handled enough Takaratomy and Hasbro stuff to know, if there is one thing you can count on, is that white = yellow. 3) At least 2 reviews reported that ratchets of Skyfire giving way. One of them was TMreview. I don't think it's a widespread issue, but enough to be concerned about. 4) I know people don't like to leave his butterfly joint tabbed in, but I do. And my goodness, that thing likes to come out every time you move his arms. Overall, I like this guy, but I worry about the longevity.

1:36 this had me like that meme of Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV

beast wars is not as bad as people say and it still holds up today

0:01 - 0:11 The pure unbridled joy makes me happy!

I saw beast wars after years of thinking it was horrible. However when I saw it instantly became my second favorite transformers show. P.S. I first watched it on your recommendation.

If Beast Wars was redone shot for shot with modern tech it would blow peoples minds. That being said it is and always will be my favorite TF series

Nothing makes me happier than someone defending beast wars❤

I don't get people who call beast wars ugly. Its OG resolution might not look that great, but that's why someone went through the trouble of making a 4K version of ALL the episodes. Which yes, might end up revealing more of just how plain the backgrounds are, but its not even that bad. Its a good looking show with a great story.

I was actually introduced to the Beast era through Beast Machines, as I watched that show first, because Beast Wars wasn't on Tubi at the time, and though the show was fine at best for me, when I went to watch Beast Wars, it was like a breath of air sent by heaven itself, because I could actually look at a show without wanting to rip my eyes out.

I just got this figure today and holy shit you were right. You say a lot of stuff I don't agree with but you still say those things in a way I find entertaining, but my god you were not lying with this video. I'm going to go watch every beast wars show now

Wasn't sold on him when he got announced but honestly he looks way better then I expected. Plus I just started collecting beast wars so that might help my perception of this guy.

0:05 Making beast wars Megatron proud I see

Man, Tiger Rock is the name of the Taekwondo academy I attend, I can't tell you the confusion when I saw this notification and went "why is PerspectiveEnd talking about my Taekwondo academy" and then I clicked it and it was Tigerhawk. My confusion quickly turned to joy but still lol.

I had the exact same reservations about the short robot legs and lack of posing on the wings before getting him, but oh boy did those melt away when I got him out of the box. For one thing the legs look less out of proportion in person, and the rest of him is so awesome it doesn't even matter. I'll also say mine doesn't have problems standing even with the wings back, and that chest panel on mine is solid.

When I watched the first few seconds of beast wars I immediately loved it

When I watched beast wars for the first time, I already watched your videos on beast wars so I didn't think it looked ugly, also you were right with saying that the outdatedness of the animation goes to the back of your head by time of episode 5

"Tigerhawk Beastmode!"

It's so perfect that there's a video on Beast Wars Jesus posted on Easter.

Wow our experiences with this one is night and day. Mine broke within a week and you are head over heals for this thing.

I needed to see this. I had a rough week recently and just seeing this review made my day (and most likely wanting the figure now even though I'm not a die hard Beast Wars fan). Thank you Perspective.

thank you so much for the shoutout man! It was really fun to participate in the weekly art contest! Thanks for the channel shoutout too!

Thank you so much for getting me into beast wars

Hey, man.Maybe when you come across something that is excellent and you have hard time finding problems with you can go a little more on the history of the character and why this particular version is amazing

As a true perspective fan who has watched every video… I loved the little Timmy spoilers ultra magnus reference

1:22 is why I am a subscriber of this channel 😂

Just got all the kingdom beast wars characters, so I decided to watch the show. It’s has story building like TFprime before TFprime, funny random episodes with episodes that build up the characters. Even the sequel series (though a lil ugly) still had a good buildup to me.

In my head cannon, the folks at Hasbro were shooting for a Sphinx to square off with their Megatron dragon. Someone didn't know what a sphinx was so tossed around the animals that make one up like a salad. As soon as he said Tiger and Hawk, the marketing folks stopped dead in their tracks and declared 'That's much cooler. Lets go with that!'

For your question, I watched Beast Wars not because of the hate (that would be energon) but because you and many others kept recommending it. I just never had a way to watch it till during the pandemic where I had a lot of time on my hands and it was to lead up to the Netflix seires for Kingdom. I'm really glad I finally got around to watching it! Beast Wars deserves more love!

14:00 What everyone else telling to do at the end of this videos? Great vid

Thr vendors more likely forgot Tigerhawk existed by vitue of being in a tiny number of episodes at the very end of the series. Hell, I only remember him because when i watched Beast Wars through about 5-6 years ago I was personally not impressed by him (I didn't hate him, but i just didn't think he was all that cool). I'm glad he's so on point though. I'm always glad when a fan gets tthe designs they love.

I liked this figure, but honestly forgot it existed hahaha. I do get sick of people punching down on beastwars, It added so much to the fiction and saved the franchise as a whole.

A review of a Beast Wars character on my birthday? Yes! I was on the fence about getting Tigerhawk but after watching reviews and seeing all the different angles and articulation, I think I'm going to finally pick him alongside dragon Megatron to recreate their iconic fight. I already have JiangXing's Winged Dragon, which is a thing of beauty,but there's no Tigerhawk yet to match him in terms of size so these Legacy offerings will do for now. I'm a 90s kid that grew up on Beast Wars. It was my G1 and to this date when I think of Transformers I think more of Maximals and Predacons than Autobots or Decepticons. Never seen the original G1 from start to end, only a few clips here and there and maybe a couple of complete episodes. I saw the 1986 movie in 2006. Maybe I should actually sit down and watch G1 to see what I think of it one of these days. As for Beast Wars aging, yeah, it's definitely aged, especially the 1st season but I think the two subsequent seasons looked better.

Its beautiful and i think the sliverbolt is a retool of this thing

Man, I'm jealous. This guy sold out everywhere immediately, so I might not get my hands on him for a long time.

I was never much of a Tigerhawk person, I’m a rattrap kind of guy. But anyways, he appeared for 3 episodes but my god those 3 episodes were hype. But cmon, he’s A *TRANSMETAL. 2. FUZOR.* ITS FUCKING INSANE.

12 seconds in and I agree 100%. This guy is awesome. Hope that 86 Swoop is also fantastic though he seems to be a bit smaller than the others (not by much, thankfully, not to mention it's cartoon accurate). EDIT: I think this guy shows why the texturing in the show makes the designs appear ugly. The updated texturing makes this design look amazing, yet the show's texturing made him look cheap, annoying when the other later Beast Wars characters (hell, just several of the other Beast Wars characters in general) look great regardless of the textures.

I was going to say that you don´t need to keep the arm unpegged to give the head mobiity in beast mode, but then you pointed at the rotation and shat me up. But, I´ll say that you can rotate the forelegs at the hip, rotate the feet, and then you get the forelegs to have all the crouching you want for the about to pounce poses you want. I know it´s not show accurate, but still. Also, there´s already an upgrade kit for this guy. Mostly a gap filler, and mostly for those amazing wings. Anyway, great video as usual!

Beast Wars is beautiful. It is the chrome finish of Transformers shows.

Oh boy, can't wait for my pre-order to come in! (waits another 5 months) My God, I never realized that but...what if Tigerhawk was meant to be a concept of Silverbolt as Transmetal II?

I was told that it was an ugly show and I was lied to. It's really well animated and I think it's beautiful to this day. And I absolutely agree with your assessment of the writing quality as well.

I just got this guy, I was already excited but man once I got it in hand. I completely agree with you! I’m happy you look as excited as I was with him xD

I don't know how ya feel about upgrade/filler kits but there's one available for this. It fills in the wings and other areas. I got it and it turned this figure from great to outstanding.

considering how honest you are when it comes to most figures, when you say BUY IT! it must be special.

The culmination of a dead tiger and falcon. I'm honestly impressed with how good he is as I just picked him up yesterday. That's just it, I think he's fantastic

When i first saw this figure announced, i promised myself not to watch any tutorials on how to transform it, and when i finally got it in hand, that transformation actively changed my philosophy, and now i absolutely avoid transformation tutorials like the plague in hopes ill find a high of figuring out how to transform something as good as this again

After I watched Beast Wars my mind was blown when it comes to what you can do with animation. I won't describe any particular scene because y'know, spoilers, but the way the characters move and how they were able to apply squash and stretch were genuinely amazing, especially when you consider how complex the models were for the time. If dated rendering software is the only reason you're calling it ugly, then to be honest you weren't good enough for Waspinator anyways.

Epic review PerspectiveEnd!! These days it's rare to find a Transformers figure that has more strengths then weaknesses. It's fantastic that Tigerhawk is one of those rare gems that not only is a great Transformers figure, but has also started off the Legacy United line really strong. lol Keep on being amazing.

My only true criticism is from what I’ve seen is he has no wrist swivel, and for a leader class of all things

I'm stoked to see a Razorclaw recolor out of it (it is bound to happen, just wait and see) but I am also wondering if it will include the falcon mask for the figure. it was most likely planned for this figure since it has an unused slot on the tiger forehead and matching unused storage slot under the tail feathers but they decided to go with the animation accuracy over the toy accuracy instead.

I really want to get this guy, but I’d much prefer to get a razorclaw version, and with how many figures I’m already planning on getting this year, I’m gonna wait on this one. If I see him on clearance, I most certainly will pick him up.

6:12 kinda like how Tigerhawk and Silverbolt got similar builts, being a quadruped with bird wings but their transformation and engineering couldn't be more far apart though it's due to their size differences with Silverbolt being smaller

Thanks for the happy birthday! (I am silverware325) I coincidentally got this Tigerhawk for my birthday.

I’m gonna need this dude. I also found silver bolt randomly at target so the beast shelf is looking good

Now all we need is more Legacy updates of Transmetal and Transmetal 2 characters. Especially a transmetal Rattrap that has a backpack that ACTUALLY ROTATES!!!!

2:56 Before I listened in on the Transformer community bubble, I was a kid who had my parents’ Netflix, and I stumbled across Beast Wars. I didn’t have any refined taste, but I really did like the show as a young kid. If there’s anything I found ugly, it was probably some of the Transmetal upgrades. Some characters I didn’t mind, like Megatron and Rattrap, some I didn’t find as cool like Cheetor and especially Optimus. Tarantulas I forgot, but he’s cool. I definitely think the new characters that started out as Transmetals were fine, and the T2 redesigns were definitely way more favorable to me.

Personally I think beast wars style is kinda charming. It looks like a windows screen saver or those old computer companions (don't know the name of em but stuff like bonzi buddy).

Wait... Tigerhawk has a GUN?!?! how did i never realize this?! One of the few complaints i had from this figure what that he felt a TAD lacking in the accessories, but that solves it!

Video starts with PE having a geekgasm.

I don't get that Beast Wars is amazing. The story, the concept, the lore👌🏻

I've unfortunately had some bad luck with distribution regarding the beast wars figures (my store has been all sandstorms and buzzsaws for the past two years) so i doubt i'll be seeing this boy anytime soon but if by some stroke of luck i do then i'm definitely picking him up because holy shit is this a thing of beauty

My thing is, can we just re-render beast wars with the new stuff we got? We still have the models and voice lines on record, we'd just need to re-animate it. We could also get more interesting backgrounds as well. Just a thought 😂

I can not find this guy anywhere, and it makes me sad because I LOVE Tigerhawk.

When I watched beast wars for the first time last year the animation didn't bother me. It's actually very impressive especially now that I do animation. It's just rendering is a but dated but compared to a show like prime where it looks like a blender animation that didn't have any actual lighting because while I still have a soft spot for that show but dear God it needed better lighting and cinematography and just everything really

I really hope the ‘Leader Thundertron’ coming out in the Star Raiders line is a repaint of this guy instead of the Voyager with more stuff.

3:02 It’s not that bad, really good for it’s time actually!

Am I the only one who thinks Tigerhawk is the perfect figure for a Beast Wars version of Soundwave? Soundwaves 2 most iconic minicons are laserbeak and ravage a bird and a cat Tigerhawk turns into a fusion of bird and cat. You could count his wing cannons as Soundwave's shoulder cannon. And the head itself only needs a faceplate and I think it could work even without the faceplate. im telling ya Tigerhawk is the perfect Beast Wars Soundwave
