Gigatron is the American Powermaster counterpart to the Japanese Godmaster Overlord (in the same manner, for example, as Cab is the counterpart of Hosehead). The character debuted in the fourth wave of the Heroes of Cybertron line, as a mostly-unaltered version of the 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). Although the original 1988 Overlord toy has never been released in North America, it was released in Europe in 1991 under it's original name - whether or not that figure could be considered to retroactively represent the character of Gigatron with a different name is up for debate.
