While explaining the convoluted nature of the Primax 785.06 Alpha system, Vector Prime noted how in some versions of the system's history, Devil Z stole eight transtectors from G Nebula 89, including ones intended as bodies for the noble Optimus Prime and the remorseless Gigatron, with Gigatron's transtector becoming Overlord.

Vector Prime also stated that he had encountered Primax 603.0 Beta's Gigatron, whom he identified as having transmorphic regenerative abilities. Ask Vector Prime, 31 May 2015

Heroes of Cybertron

[edit]
  • Powermaster Gigatron (2003)
Released in the third wave of Heroes of Cybertron, Gigatron is a slightly-altered version of the Super Collection Figure Overlord PVC, featuring rounded-off shoulder-cones for safety reasons. He is cast in clear red plastic painted over, leaving his eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a light-piping effect.
He also came with the left arm of the wave's Fortress Maximus build-a-figurine.
