(2019; Zbl 07758991)] introduced and studied a new type of morphisms between (super)manifolds, generalizing smooth maps, which are called \textit{microformal} or \textit{thick morphisms}. Their distinctive feature is that the pullbacks are formal non-linear differential operators over ordinary maps, being described as \textit{non-linear algebra homomorphisms}. This paper aims to extend the \textit{tangent functor} \(T\)\ and the \textit{antitangent functor} \(\Pi T\)\ from ordinary smooth maps \ to thick morphisms of both types (even and odd). A natural diffeomorphism involving the cotangent bundle \(T^{\ast}E\)\ of a vector bundle \(E\)\ plays a significant role. It was discovered by \textit{W. M. Tulczyjew} [Lect. Notes Math. 570, 457--463 (1977; Zbl 0353.53021)] for \(E=TM\) and by \textit{K. C. H. Mackenzie} and \textit{P. Xu} [Duke Math. J. 73, No. 2, 415--452 (1994; Zbl 0844.22005)] in the general case. Their generalization to supermanifolds was established in [\textit{T. Voronov}, Contemp. Math. 315, 131--168 (2002; Zbl 1042.53056)], where an analog for the anticotangent bundle \(\Pi T^{\ast}E\)\ was introduced.
