    This is something I've been thinking about a lot. Currently I have Ectotron with my Gentei Ghost Starscream. If I put Gigawatt on that shelf where does Screamer go? If not, then where does Gigawatt go? I don't care about the Top Gun figure or MLP so having a dedicated "crossover" shelf might take a while, considering they continue. The MP shelf is also an option, I don't have very many, but they are all larger figures & he might not fit in. These are relatively easy decisions to make but with certain parts of my collection constantly in flux I'm trying to avoid moving figures 20 times.

    But why does it have the TIE Fighter sound? (listen at the end)

    Though IIRC, the movie uses the same sound for the Delorean as Luke's landspeeder. (real Renault V6's sound nothing like the engine sound in the movie)

    Hope we see a YouTuber remix the video using sounds and music from BTTF. Otherwise, it's a super cool video!

    Yea, I think ultimately he will end up with my Earthrise figures as the MPs that I have are all geared towards the Ghostbusters crossover (Ghost Starscream and clear kos of Megatron, Soundwave and a 3p Shockwave)

    I am so going to put a Decepticon symbol on this guy and display him with my Dr. Arkeville figure. Marty is dead. Doc Brown turned evil and ordered Gigawatt to impale Marty with his electrical rod weapon from behind. Then he became Dr. Arkeville and met up with the Decepticons. Time travel fried his brain he became insane. Somebody needs to draw a comic and make it offical.

    I love the anime style transformation they used for both this and the Maverick video.

    I started a crossover shelf dedicated to this line. So far all it's got is Ectotron, but I should be adding this guy and Maverick to it sooner rather than later. :D

    I don't have too many issues with the bot mode because I'm displaying my crossover figures in alt mode. It's the paint job and horrible colour of the plastic I hate. That "weathering" is awful. If it was painted battleship grey or something similar i would have been all over it. And I'm not great at painting so I wouldn't bother trying to customize it.

    Well, Gigawatt is going to be the centerpiece of my scale model of Hill Valley, of course! I have a whole room cleared for this project and... and... I'm not really doing this. Actually I'm not sure where Gigawatt will go. I imagine he'll be a deskbot for awhile but as for long-term display I'll probably have him on a shelf with Ectotron. I hope they do make some other 80s crossover cars, as I think that would be a fun group to have together.

    Where's the "proper" Youtube link? Low-res Facebook video links don't count.

    Edit: - Facebook videos, unlike Youtube ones, don't appear as HD on mobile browsers, and have no options to change the resolution.

    I’m trying to get him for my dad, since he likes BTTF and I like Transformers. That’s why I’m upset I can’t find him. Target still has him up for preorder, but aren’t they known to cancel preorders sometimes? Personally, I’d be down to get a copy for myself too, but my dad’s one is more important

    I arrange my figures according to the head cannon story that I have going, so it makes little sense to other people (however I do have a whole spreadsheet, timeline, and notes explaining it). But for s&giggles he's going to be part of a returning crew of Cybertronians who--convinced that the war would be perpetual--set off into space hundreds of thousands of years ago seeking to find a way to convince the factions to end the conflict. He will thusly be on the shelf with with undressed Siege Magnus (a different character), Double Dealer, Fulltilt, and Fastrack (once he arrives from Pulse).
