Fiction

[edit]

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

Gigascouter was part of the Resistance during the Grand Uprising, and served as first mate aboard the Broadside to Captain Scylla. When the Resistance made their great push towards Builder-controlled Iacon, the Broadside led the fleet into the Yuss Straits from the Great Rust Sea. They matched wits with the Builder Banzai-Tron aboard the Tidal Wave, but the Resistance's subsea fleet proved superior to the Builders thanks to their aquatic Beast Upgrades. Unfortunately Banzai-Tron wasn't willing to give up. He sent the Tidal Wave on a final collision course towards the Broadside. Scylla and Gigascouter couldn't stop the massive ship's advance, and ordered all hands to abandon ship. Despite his captain's orders, Gigascouter remained at his station coordinating troop departures till the last second, and went down with Scylla and the ship. Derailment

Nothing witty comes to mind...
  • Gigastorm (Destron, 1998)
  • ID number: D-22
  • Release date: October ??, 1998
Gigascouter (Gigascooter in Korea) is a redeco of Full-Tilt which looks remarkably similar to his original version, with his plastic now being cast in a darker shade of purple to match the one used in Gigastorm. He transforms into a Cybertronic car, and much like how Full-Tilt can be pegged onto Trypticon's dino-mode chestplate, Gigascouter can also do the same with Gigastorm. Unlike Full-Tilt, he does not have any accessories (Already-lost gun for your convenience!), neither does he come with decals.
He was only available packed in with Gigastorm... in fact, he's the only accessory that comes with Gigastorm!
Sonokong also released this figure in their Beast-War toyline with no differences from the Takara release.
