The toys section needs to mention at least' the HOC figurine as him.
Also- the tech-specs IIRC has a common thread between all the releases- Gigatron (though filtered through a US perspective) is almost certainly 'supposed to be' Overlord... but nobody wants to dislodge Overlord from his UK name. -Derik 18:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation

Surely there's a way to merge the two disambig boxes up there into one? It'd look a lot tidier if it could read "This article is about the Powermaster. For the Godmaster, see Overlord; or the for the Predacon Leader in Robots in Disguise, see Megatron (RID)." Of course, I'm a drunken Irish bum and haven't the slightest idea how to make that happen.

Multiple didambigs have been bugging me for awhile- there's some articles with 3. We disambig things waaay more than normal Wikipedia articles because of name re-use.
From a technical standpoint, yes it's possible. But can you come up with a visual treatment? One that accommodates all 3 types of the disambig tags? -Derik 15:14, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
I could make a picture of how it might look, but I have no idea how to make the template that would make it work. Jeep! 18:58, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Multi-component Transformer

If someone were just reading Gigatron's bio with no knowledge of who he was redecoed from, he would probably conclude he is a triple-changer (the bio is vague on the matter). But since we know he is redecoed from Overlord, I thought the common-sense thing to do would be to consider him a multi-component Transformer, so that's what category I put him in. Just an FYI. - Starfield 18:07, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, and this might be a stupid question, but how do we know it's supposed to be Gigatron in Megatron Origin and not Overlord? There's a similar argument made on the SG Overlord page. -Mazenoise 18:20, 29 August 2009 (EDT)
