Great Cannon is a Decepticon from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
This is Great Cannon. This is terrible canon. Spot the differences!

Great Cannon (グレートカノン Gurēto Kanon) is (most likely) the leader of the Battle Gaia team, which means he is (probably) the second-in-command to the Decepticon Scrash. He combines with his teammates to form the mighty Battle Gaia.

... look, they're not giving us a lot to work with here, okay?
