Tiguard (タイガード Taigaado) is a calm, competent, and serious Decepticon soldier and former member of the Breastforce. Once a close-knit friend of her fellow Breastmasters, her newfound responsibilities upon receiving a promotion from Deathsaurus have resulted in a rather estranged relationship with her allies- especially Leozack, who isn't exactly subtle about how unhappy he is about the whole arrangement.
"Go on, get out of here. I wouldn't want to waste any more of your time you could be using to be Deathsaurus' dutiful little dog."
— Leozack about Tiguard

Japanese Generation 1 Cartoon Continuity
Victory cartoon
Tiguard arrived on Earth alongside Drillhorn, Jallguar, and Killbison to join Deathsaurus' forces under Leozack's command.
Upon the Breastforce's reunion with Gaihawk, Tiguard revealed that she, with Stripebreast's approval, had her gun reformatted into a sword long ago with the hope that becoming a skilled swordsman would allow Liokaiser to go up against the likes of Star Saber directly. This plan never fully came to fruition, as now the Breastforce had more than enough members needed to combine in Liokaiser. Deathsaurus, wanting a wider range of opportunities of energy-harvesting missions for his soldiers, stationed Tiguard elsewhere, much to Leozack's dismay and Hellbat's relief (at least, until the risk of being replaced resurfaced when Deathsaurus summons Deathcobra.) Tiguard was extremely unhappy about this decision and the idea of a combiner squad operating separately from one another was unheard of to her, even with extra members. Still, she accepted her new role, as there's not a lot of room to defy orders from the Decepticon emperor of destruction himself.
Leozack - Ex-Amica Endura + Rival
"... My stripes just haven't been the same since our estrangement reached its natural conclusion. He'd probably laugh bitterly if he ever found out I haven't discarded old datapads filled to the brim with pictures of us all."
Hellbat - Comrade + Untrusting
"That backstabbing coward can't be trusted, but I fear he's the only company I have. I just can't figure out what he's trying to gain with his sudden bursts of affection. If nothing else, having a sparring partner at least keeps me sharp."
Deathcobra - Friend
"I wonder if you hate me, knowing I remained silent and stagnant while my comrades fought valiantly to avenge you."
Design Notes
- Tiguard is slightly but notably taller than her fellow cat breasties
- Leozack did her stripes before Tiguard was restationed. According to Leozack, he doesn't trust anyone but himself to get her stripes as perfect as he does- not even Tiguard, herself.
Trivia
- Yes, I'm aware that Tigerbreast was already an existing character when I made her but I just really wanted a tiger-themed breastie lol. Thus, came the idea to name her weapon "Stripebreast" instead. "Guardbreast" just sounds like another name for a bra.
- Often mistaken for a masc-aligned(?) Cybertronian but she doesn't really care enough to correct others.
