- Gaiacross is an Autobot combiner from the Japanese cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Gaiacross (ガイアクロス Gaiakurosu) is the final evolution of Landcross! What exactly does that mean? Who knows!
His components are:
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
In the Vega Sector, the Multiforce battled the Praetorian to stop him from using the corrupted Reconfiguration Matrix to rewrite all local robotic life into loyal Scrapmetal drones. During their struggles, they evolved from Landcross into Gaiacross. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/22
Toys
Gaiacross
- Jet (Candy toy, 2011)
- Flame (Candy toy, 2011)
- Cosmo (Candy toy, 2011)
- Stream (Candy toy, 2011)
- Crush (Candy toy, 2011)
- Launcher (Candy toy, 2011)
- Gaiacross can only be assembled by purchasing all six of his components individually. 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
- 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.
- His packaging uses a (unique?) Transformers logo including a version of the English TF logo in silver.
- 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.
