Mmm.. Beast Wars.
So I came across this piece recently, just knowing it was a Takara Tigatron figure. Takara, as you know from my bitching about it constantly, usually puts more paint on their figures so I figured why the hell not.
With a little more research, it appears that this figure is actually the one that came with Telemocha series - toys that came packaged with an audio CD with some sort of play.
Much like the Optimus Primal I own, it's actually above and beyond what would normally be on a Takara release, as it was released as a sort of Anniversary commemorative edition.
So.. what's to say about this figure? For those familiar with the Beast Toys line, the fact Tigatron here is a retool of the Cheetor toy. Generally speaking, the Takara version was actually white (though will probably turn yellow over time), whereas the Hasbro version was cream/yellow to begin with.
Furthermore, other than more paint, the stripes on Tigatron are a different pattern than the Hasbro release. You'll probably notice there are many more metallic paint apps on this version, which were included to make the toy appear more like its TV counterpart.
So, in essence, until the inevitable MP version is released, this is still the prettiest, most screen accurate toy of this character.
Tigatron came with two weapons. One that is converted from his tail section, and another from his Tiger chest, which also is a squirt gun. Naturally, the Mutant Mask gimmick is there too.
Generally speaking, the 10 years between G1 and Beast Wars Season 1 resulted in much better robot modes. Articulation is decent, including waist movement, though sadly moulding on the upper thighs limits articulation of the legs. Ball joints were prevalent in this line.
I'm not a fan of the beast alt modes, but if you've read enough of my thoughts this should be no surprise to you. As this is one of the earliest animal releases, much like Optimus Primal, the animal mode is pretty comical looking. Again, understandably so, but still funny to me.
I feel the Predacons actually had the better toys.. ish. Unless your name was Black Arachnia, and you were a repaint of Taurantulas.
Well, off to the shelf you go.

MVID 2017 – Reenactors of the American Civil War in Graeagle – Photos by Michael Clawson – www.graeagle.com
Photograph published 9th July 1918.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognize anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
Carved by Robert Warrack Morrison, 1890-1945, who worked in USA before and after WW1.

In St Nicholas' Churchyard in Great Yarmouth. After an appeal for him to be exempt from war service failed, John Chambers died in 1916 of pneumonia after 5 weeks military training.
Churchill ordered the construction of these barriers early in the war to prevent German U-boats attacking the fleet in Scapa Floe. The barriers form causeways between the islands off the south coast of the Orkney mainland.
This Landspeeder floaty pen was only available to members of the US based Star Wars fan club. I won it on e-bay for 2 pounds. There was no photograph, so it was a gamble, which luckily paid off.
Saw a group of photographers on my left mounting their camera to their tripod that day, and thought it's funny to capture that moment. So I unmounted my camera quickly from my tripod and left it in my spot and distanced myself a bit behind them and took this shot.
The Hooglede German war cemetery (Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof Hooglede in German) is a military cemetery in the Belgian town of Hooglede, six kilometres northwest of Roeselare. It is located at the east side of Hooglede. It contains 8,241 buried German soldiers from World War I.
On October 19, 1914, Hooglede was occupied by German soldiers. The Hooglede cemetery in the Beverenstraat arose in 1917 when the cemetery in Hooglede was no longer sufficient for the mounting deathtoll. There were some new cemeteries, including "Ehrenfriedhof Hooglede Ost Beveren" along the street. After the liberation by the French, approximately 4100 German soldiers were buried in the soil of Hooglede.
The German cemeteries were supervised by the Belgian military service of tombs, but in 1926 all the cemeteries were the responsibility of the Amtlicher Deutscher Gräberdienst. Between 1932 and 1937, this service was responsible for the German cemetery in the Beverenstraat. Many graves in various cemeteries in Hooglede, Gits, Handzame, Torhout, and Lichtervelde were sent to Hooglede. The graves then were marked by crosses.
In 1937, a chapel was built using stones from a German pavilion at the World Exhibition in Paris. During World War II, an addition 29 German soldiers were buried at the cemetery. These soldiers were later sent to another cemetery.
After the Second World War, the supervision of the cemetery was again in the hands of the Belgian organization "Nos Tombs". Not much later, in 1954, the monitoring was taken over by the German War Graves Commission (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge in German).
Numerous German graves dispersed over the country were transferred between 1956 and 1958 from 128 cemeteries to the four cemeteries in the Flemish part of Belgium. Hooglede is one of the four main German cemeteries in Belgium. The others being in Langemark, Vladslo, Menen.
During the renovation works in Hooglede in 1957-58, the entrance arches of the chapel were reduced to nine. This change came in two phases. The crosses were also replaced by nameplates. After 1960, no more major works were performed.
Fort Gordon military members participated in the Veterans Day ceremony with a joint color guard, band and guest speaker Nov. 10 at the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home (Blue Goose). Guest speaker Air Force Col. Mark L. Mitchem, commander U.S. Air Force 480th Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group said we must remember both those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and all veterans that served. “General Arnold’s quote in the Museum of the Mighty Eighth reminds us that we owe a debt of gratitude to those veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice. But we owe an equal measure of thanks to those soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guardsmen who returned to our nation’s shores to build a better future for all Americans,” said Mitchem.

The Swansons Christmas train set-up was Star Wars-themed this year. It was a little busy, visually, but they did a nice job of including some of the diverse climates from the movies.
