[[Decepticon]]s scatter in fear at the merest sight of the '''Giant Autobot'''. Towering over even the mighty [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], this incredible Autobot behemoth could surely shatter mountains and sunder the ground with his merest step. But he need not even take that step, need not set one foot upon the battlefield. The most meager of syllables uttered by his booming voice is enough to break the fighting spirit of the hardiest Decepticon and even put the fear of [[Primus]] into [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] himself.

...or at least, that's what [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] would like you to believe, since he's not real, just a product of the Autobot tracker's [[hologram]] powers.

===''The Transformers'' cartoon===

:''Voice actor:'' [[Peter Cullen]] (English)

Believing that Megatron had legally defeated [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in a one-on-one duel that forced them to leave the planet, the Autobots were compelled to ignore a battle raging outside their [[Ark (G1)#Autobot Headquarters|headquarters]] between the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and the Decepticons' newest warrior, the towering [[combiner]] Devastator. When [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]] revealed that Megatron had cheated in the battle, however, the Autobots immediately sprang into action. Lacking the physical power to take down Devastator, they turned to trickery and had Hound project a hologram of a massive Autobot, bigger even than Devastator, which mocked the Decepticon's claim that nothing could defeat him. The horrified Decepticons were stunned by the sudden appearance of this Giant Autobot, and Optimus Prime exploited the opening to blast Devastator in just the right spot, forcing the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] to disengage. The Giant Autobot's purpose served, Hound shut off his hologram, and Megatron exploded with rage at the realization he had been tricked. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

==Notes==
*Given that he's just a hologram...where's his voice coming from? Considering his voice actor, however, it's incredibly likely it was meant for Prime himself to be voicing the Giant Autobot.
*Despite appearing just the once, the Giant Autobot was immortalized in [[super deformed]] glory as part of a [http://www.tfarchive.com/cartoons/japanese/pioneer/SDLDAutobots.jpg large illustration] of the entire cast of the cartoon, drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] for [[Geneon Universal Entertainment|Pioneer]]'s laser disc release of the cartoon in Japan. That's him on the extreme right!
