	*'''Powermaster Gigatron''' (2003)

	:Gigatron debuted in the fourth wave of the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line, as a mostly-unaltered version of the [[Overlord (Masterforce)\|Overlord]] figurine from the Japanese [[Super Collection Figure]] line (his shoulder-cones were rounded off [[for safety reasons]], plus he used the standard "all clear-red-plastic painted over" coloring process to give him light-piped eyes). He came with the left arm of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)\|Fortress Maximus]] build-a-figurine.
	~~{{--}}~~
	~~==Notes==~~
	* Gigatron is the American Powermaster counterpart to the Japanese [[Godmaster]] [[Overlord (Masterforce)\|Overlord]] (in the same manner, for example, as [[Lander]] is the counterpart of [[Landmine (G1)\|Landmine]]), but he often gets overlooked since he was created fifteen years after the fact, instead of co-existing with his Japanese counterpart like the rest of the Powermasters, and exists only as a semi-obscure PVC figurine. Although the original 1988 Overlord toy has never been released in North America, it ''was'' [[Generation 1 Europe (toyline)\|released in Europe]] in 1991 under its original name. Whether or not that figure could be considered to represent the character of Gigatron [[retcon\|retroactively]] with a different name is up for debate.
