"Tiger Transport" appears at first glance to be nothing more or less than a life-size tiger (14 feet from tip of nose to tip of tail). On closer inspection, its skin peels back to reveal that the "tiger" is a transport machine equipped with modern weaponry (for example, its tail houses a missile warhead). It is in fact the preferred transport machine for the "Tiger Tribe," a band of nomadic corporate warriors occupying the same future time frame as the Butterfly Assassin.
