Got mine today. Nice to see the paint apps have improved and are more consistent since MP-12 Lambor.

Thanks Lacalot. I wasn't sure and couldn't find anything on it. It's a shame though, I've gotten right into the coins and it would have been great to have one. Oh well.

Just opened mine up. The yellow paint has got some dust embedded it in but everything else looks ok. Great looking figure.

that good to hear that your figure paint job is good ...
Man im never going to spray yellow on a full figure again!! it a nightmare ... different tone of yellow on different parts so annoying ! In the end it worked out good ...I still don't know how i managed to colour match it was beyond me!! very lucky i guess

I was watching A Plague of Insecticons on the weekend and noticed that Tigertrack makes a brief appearance in that episode. Or it could be Sideswipe mispainted yellow -- but he doesn't say anything in that scene, so it could very well be one of the limited (if not only) official canonical appearances of Tigertrack!

Go on... ya know you wanna watch that episode and check now. It's the scene where the Autobots are trying to go under the mountain.

Edit: Here it is -- look at 09.50, at first you can see Sunstreaker flying down, as we can see the rear mounted engine (though badly drawn), but the second Lamborghini coming down is yellow but there's no exposed rear-mounted engine which Sunstreaker has! What probably happened was that the animator went and coloured Sideswipe the same as Sunstreaker (because the spoiler is silver), but by happy coincidence an argument could be made that this is actually Tigertrack! (or fans could just retcon it as so!) This wouldn't be the first time this sort of thing has happened either... in More Than Meets The Eye Part 1, we actually see Yellow Cliffjumper briefly appear (@11.29)! It's really just Cliffjumper coloured in Bumblebee's colour scheme, but hey... there ya go. If HasTak ever decide to reissue the yellow variant of G1 Cliffjumper as a different character, that'd be his (or her?) G1 cartoon appearance!
