Tigatron

Tigatron's History

The Cybertronian who would become Tigatron was one of the many Maximal protoforms aboard the Axalon. As part of their experiments, the enigmatic Vok activated five fallen stasis pods and experimented on the unborn protoforms within, and altered them into loyal servants. These "Children of the Vok" sought a naturalistic existence where they lived in harmony wwith the alien flora and fauna of their adopted homeworld; on behalf of their benefactors, the group hunted down and captured Optimus Primal and Megatron, whose war jeopardized the Vok's delicate experiments. Although Tigatron, acting as the group's spokesperson, explained that the Vok merely wanted them to leave, Megatron refused to negotiate and demanded an audience with the Vok. When Megatron and Primal subsequently used their own beast modes to escape captivity, the Children of the Vok moved to stop them and in the ensuing battle, Optimus easily overpowered and disarmed Tigatron.

To eliminate the Maximals and Predacons, Tarantulas and the Vok brought every crashed stasis pod they could find online and reprogrammed the protoforms within into more Vok servants. Tigatron joined in their all-or-nothing attack on the Darksyde in an attempt to take out the Maximal-Predacon alliance for good. Eventually, however, the capricious Vok revealed themselves and announced that they planned to exterminate every Cybertronian on the planet and begin again, ignoring Tigatron's protests that they'd done as their benefactors asked. Eventually, when the Maximals and Predacons destroyed the Vok themselves, Tigatron and the other Children of the Vok agreed to a truce and left to live peacefully in the wilderness.
