  • Accessories, Pole, Mr. Fusion generator/blaster

The second figure released in the Collaborative line, Gigawatt is an extensive retooling 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 was put up for preorder on July 2nd 2020 (and seemingly sold out within mere minutes) with added graphics on the box identifying the figure as one of a limited run of 1,985. A standard non-numbered version was made available through Hasbro Pulse and other "select retailers" on October 1.
