Power of the Primes

  • Evolution Nemesis Prime (Leader Class, 2018)
    • TakaraTomy ID number: PP-42
    • TakaraTomy release date: December 29, 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, Giza can be hand-held via 5 mm post, though the hooked end of the handle prevents mounting it in shallower holes. In either mode, their 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)
    • TakaraTomy ID number: WFC-16
    • TakaraTomy release date: March, 2021
Promoting the Netflix-original cartoon, War for Cybertron Trilogy Giza is available alongside Fangtron in the Nemesis Prime Spoiler Pack. Along with the rest of the parts redecoed from the Power of the Primes Evolution Nemesis Prime that are included, Giza is cast in a lighter, less pearlescent gray. Their eyes are unpainted for this release.
Bizarrely, Giza is not present in Hasbro's stock photography or product descriptions for the set, leading many to believe that Giza wasn't included and Fangtron's full name was actually "Fangtron Giza" for just over a month's time, due to the Ancient Autobot text on the box.
This set is a shared exclusive between online retailers and Walmart in Canada and the USA.

This item is currently scheduled for release, but is not yet available at mass retail.

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!

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Giza (ギザ)
