Just a thought..

What/Which Transformers toy is only exclusive to US and is hard to get in Australia?

Universe 2.0 Hardhead springs to mind. As well as Red Powerglide, though he was released under Henkei as well. Skyfall was exclusive to US as well.

Was Beast Wars Tigertron a US exclusive?
I know we didn't see him released over here, but was he seen in the UK/EU?

Do you mean toys we didn't get at Australian retail ever or toys that are only available in the US now?

The former include BotCon exclusives, and:

G1: Shockwave, the Deluxe Insecticons and Sky Lynx.

Beast Wars: Claw Jaw, Cybershark, Grimlock, Drill Bit, Lazorbeak, Bonecrusher, Tigatron, Buzz Saw, Jetstorm, Blackarachnia, Manterror, B'Boom, Transquito, Soundwave and Icebird, as well as the Fox Kids toys and non-video Razorclaw and Airazor.

Beast Machines: Hammerstrike, Spy Streak, Cycle Drone, Sonic Attack Jet, Strika, Night Slash Cheetor, Tank Drone, Beast Changer, Rapticon, Terranotron, Tripredacus Agent, Blast Punch Primal, Magmatron and Primal Prime.

Robots In Disguise: None of the Mega ('Voyager') sets - no trains, Mega Predacons, Mirage GT, Nightcruz, Scavenger, Sideways and Axer. No Megabolt Megatron or Air Attack Primal either.

Energon: Alpha Q.

That's about the point at which I get fuzzy on what was or wasn't available here, since I started buying less in stores and more online. But over the years we've missed out on well over a hundred 'US' toys. Then again, we also got lots of stuff the US didn't.

Glad You've been able to dude, but I don't mean to be rude though when I say that that 2pack isn't/wasn't a US exclusive. :o
I can't remember which it was, but I bought that 2pack at Target or Kmart locally about 3 or so years ago. :o

Not wrong, just mistaken. :)
I dunno, sometimes you read things and one can misinterpret the sentiment etc. - you know what I mean. :D

How much did you manage to pick it up for if you don't mind my asking?
