Ask Vector Prime
While explaining the convoluted nature of the Primax 785.06 Alpha system, Vector Prime noted how in some versions of the system's history, Devil Z stole eight transtectors from G Nebula 89, including ones intended as bodies for the noble Optimus Prime and the remorseless Gigatron, with Gigatron's transtector becoming Overlord.

Vector Prime also stated that he had encountered Primax 603.0 Beta's Gigatron, whom he identified as having transmorphic regenerative abilities. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/31

- Powermaster Gigatron (2003)
- Gigatron is a slightly-altered version of the Super Collection Figure Overlord PVC, featuring rounded-off shoulder-cones for safety reasons, plus he used the standard "all clear-red-plastic painted over" coloring process to give him light-piped eyes. He came with the left arm of Fortress Maximus build-a-figurine.
Notes
- Overlord was a new character created for the 1988 Japanese Super God Masterforce series. While all his fellow Godmasters had American Powermaster counterpart characters (Ginrai had Optimus Prime, Lightfoot had Getaway, and so forth), Overlord did not have an American counterpart until 2003, when the Heroes of Cybertron line introduced "Gigatron".
