Toys

Generations

Power of the Primes

  • Evolution Nemesis Prime (Leader Class, 2018)
Included with Power of the Primes Leader Class Evolution Nemesis Prime, Giza transforms from a wide-wingspan bird-bot into a sword loosely modeled after the arm-blades used by Prime Optimus Prime (and, by extension, that universe's Nemesis Prime). In sword mode he can be hand-held via 5 mm post, though the hooked end of the handle prevents mounting him in shallower holes. In either mode, his rectangular "feet" slot into the side of the included Dark Saber, primarily for storage on top of Nemesis Prime's vehicle-mode trailer.
This set was exclusively available online through Amazon.com in the U.S. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Taiwan, it was available at regular retail. In TakaraTomy markets, it was also part of the regular retail line, in wave 8, alongside fellow exclusive-in-Hasbro-markets Wreck-Gar.

War for Cybertron Trilogy

  • Nemesis Prime Spoiler Pack (Leader Unboxing, 2020)

Notes

  • Despite being a bird, Giza recycles the name of the original Giza (itself an animal-sword for a Nemesis Prime), whose name is derived from ノコギリザメ (nokogirizame), the Japanese term for the saw shark. However, conveniently enough, it is coincidentally similar to ギザギザ (gizagiza), the Japanese word for "jagged"... though this Giza has a much smoother cutting edge. Oh well!
