Gaiacross can only be assembled by purchasing all six of his components individually and assembling them, with a lot of partforming. Each component is a snap-together model kit sold with a piece of (awful) gum. A hole in each box allows the buyer to get a look at the number of the kit inside.
Although there is an official scheme for the combination (Jet is the upper torso, Stream is the lower torso, Cosmo is the right arm, et cetera), the fact that all six core robots are functionally identical means that any component can form any part of the merged form. Gaiacross is armed with an axelike weapon formed from leftover vehicle parts from Jet, Flame, and Crush.


Notes

[edit]
The original promo art for Gaiacross, using obviously unfinished design art.
  • For years there was no information of any kind about Gaiacross besides that he fights Decepticons in some other dimension. Of course, pretty much all Transformers battles take place in another dimension. Ask Vector Prime would eventually give him his scant fiction.
  • Gaiacross is a design evolution of the Multiforce team (and their combined mode Landcross) from Victory. Three of the components even share alternate modes with members of Multiforce.
  • The toy is made in Japan, which is rare because most Transformers toys have been made in China since the late 1990s.
  • The toy is a joint planning owned by TakaraTomy and Kabaya.
