Gaiacross

Gaiacross is an Autobot from an unknown continuity family.

Gaiacross (ガイアクロス Gaiakurosu) is an Autobot super robot who fights the evil of the Decepticons! In a different dimension to our own! Of course, it would appear pretty much all Transformers are from a different dimension to our own.

His components are:

• Jet
• Flame
• Cosmo
• Stream
• Crush
• Launcher

Toys

Gaiacross

1. Jet (Candy toy, 2011)
2. Flame (Candy toy, 2011)
3. Cosmo (Candy toy, 2011)
4. Stream (Candy toy, 2011)
5. Crush (Candy toy, 2011)
6. 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

• There is no information of any kind about Gaiacross besides that he fights Decepticons in some other dimension. 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 of the Transformers toys are made in China since late 1990s.

• The toy is a joint planning owned by TakaraTomy and Kabaya.
