Talk:Gigatron (G1)

JG1 Overlord predecessor

It occurs to me that we have yet to make a page for the Gigatron mentioned in Ask Vector Prime, intended user of the transtector which became Overlord. Now given the whole "Powermaster Gigatron never caught on as a separate character from Godmaster Overlord" situation, I propose that only the AVP JG1 character go on this page, given that he is the only Overlord-style Gigatron who has been definitively identified as a distinct individual from Overlord. I also propose that none of the toys go on here because Ginrai's transtector looked different from Convoy's dead body, and thus Gigatron would likely also have a different appearance from the Overlord transtector.

Merge?

Not gonna lie, I kinda feel like maybe at this point we should merge this with the normal Overlord. --M Sipher (talk) 06:52, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

The info on this article all originally was on the main Overlord article, until that AVP answer prompted this page's current status (an action that I was indifferent about then and remain so now). --Sabrblade (talk) 10:13, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

I almost feel like it's a Megatron/IDW Galvatron situation of sorts. But I think there's hardly enough info on Gigatron for a suite. --Nu-Priest (talk) 11:58, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

Nothing here contradicts Overlord. The Classics "Gigatron" already on the Overlord page further supports the merge. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 12:34, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

My sentiments exactly, I am all for the merge. --notirishman (talk) 16:23, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

AVP established "Gigatron" as a different dude that the Overlord body was meant for. It's the Optimus Prime/Ginrai thing. Saix (talk) 17:55, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

This page may not have much content, but BWU also has Overlord and Gigatron as separate individuals. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:23, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

Although I don't want a merge, we didn't merge Landshaker and the ATV, or the two Deluges. ZacAttack (talk) 18:41, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

To this point, you might be better off moving Overlord/Gigatron’s FunPub exploits and toy information to Gigatron’s page, as his actual name is Gigatron and his title is “overlord.” It’s a Marvel based story where Powermasters are known to exist and Godmasters do not.

Gigatron may not have done much, but AVP and BWU still exist. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 00:12, 25 September 2020 (EDT)
