Great Cannon

This article is about the Decepticon combiner. For the geological feature formed by erosion over time, see Grand Canyon.

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?

Toys

Operation Combination

• Battle Gaia (Multi-pack, 1992)
  • Japanese ID number: TF-10

Great Cannon is a redeco of Onslaught, transforming into a longnosed truck cab with extended trailer bed and a large double-barreled cannon. Using the Scramble City-style of combination, he can form the torso to any combination of limbs. He was only available as part of the Battle Gaia giftset.

This mold was also used to make Robots in Disguise Mega-Octane.

Notes

• Like most of the Battle Gaia team members, the Great Cannon depicted in the July 1992 issue of TV Magazine (as seen above) has some color differences compared to the retail version; in his case, the version of the toy released at retail has a darker grey abdomen.
