  • Accessories, Pole, Mr. Fusion generator/blaster

The second figure released in the Collaborative line, Gigawatt is a heavy retool of Siege Sideswipe that transforms into a heavily customized DeLorean, representing the iconic vehicle from the Back to the Future film trilogy. In his vehicle mode, his gull-wing doors can open and close; his wheels fold in on hinges so as to replicate the DeLorean's flight mode in the film. His alternate mode also features a detachable pole and hook in reference to Doc Brown's improvised lightning rod at the conclusion of the first film, and the "Mr. Fusion" generator, which becomes a handheld weapon. In robot mode, Gigawatt displays a chest-mounted flux capacitor with three dates, each corresponding to the time periods Doc and Marty visited in the first two movies.

Gigawatt is packaged in a nostalgic Generation 1-styled box in vehicle mode, much like the contemporaneous Vintage G1 line and Ectotron. The figure was released in two separate versions: a Walmart exclusive numbered edition, with added graphics on the box identifying the figure as one of a limited run of 1,985, and a standard non-numbered version available through Hasbro Pulse and other "select retailers."
