Power of the Primes

"Wingblade" would've been a little too on-the-nose, then?

• Evolution Nemesis Prime (Leader Class,2018)
  • TakaraTomy ID number:PP-42
  • TakaraTomy release date:December 29, 2018

• Known designers:Evan Brooks (Hasbro)^[2],Ken Christiansen (concept artist)

Included withPower of the Primes Leader ClassEvolution Nemesis Prime, Giza transforms from a wide-wingspan bird-bot into a sword loosely modeled after the arm-blades used byPrimeOptimus Prime (and, by extension, that universe'sNemesis Prime). In sword mode, Giza can be hand-held via5 mm post, though the hooked end of the handle prevents mounting it in shallower holes. In either mode, their rectangular "feet" slot into the side of the includedDark Saber, primarily for storage on top of Nemesis Prime's vehicle-mode trailer.

This set wasexclusively available online throughAmazon.com in the U.S. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Taiwan, it was available at regular retail. InTakaraTomy markets, it was also part of the regular retail line, in wave 8, alongside fellow exclusive-in-Hasbro-marketsWreck-Gar.

War for Cybertron Trilogy

TALLY-HAWK!

• Nemesis Prime Spoiler Pack (Leader Unboxing,2020)
  • TakaraTomy ID number:WFC-16
  • TakaraTomy release date:March 27,2021

• Known designers:AJ Piejko-Brown (packaging)

Promoting theEarthrise chapter of theNetflixcartoon,War for Cybertron Trilogy Giza is available alongsideFangtron andNemesis Prime in the second Spoiler Pack. Along with the rest of the parts redecoed from thePower of the Primes Evolution Nemesis Prime that are included, Giza is cast in a lighter, less pearlescent gray. Giza's eyes are unpainted for this release.

Much like previous Spoiler Pack, this set is in a windowless box designed to look like an ammo crate and features translatableAncient Autobot. The text on the package reads "FANGTRON" and "GIZA", while the 'spoiler' text inside features a Decepticon-themed quote: "YOU MUST STAY TRUE / TO WHOM THE MATRIX HAS / CHOSEN, FOR IF YOU / DON’T, A MUCH / DARKER FUTURE AWAITS" and an Autobot-themed one: "THE DEAD UNIVERSE IS / UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE / EXPERIENCED, PRIME", which are both quotes fromSky Lynx inEarthrise episode 5. The side of the package also features artwork of Nemesis Prime, edited from art ofEarthriseOptimus Prime. Compared to theprevious Spoiler Pack, the packaging itself has no plastic insert.

Bizarrely, Giza is not present in Hasbro'sstock photography or product descriptions for the set, leading many to believe that Giza wasn't included and Fangtron's full name was actually "Fangtron Giza" for just over a month's time, due to the previously mentioned Ancient Autobot text on the box.

This set is a shared exclusive between online retailers andWalmart in Canada and the USA. In New Zealand, the set was sold exclusively at Toy World and Mighty Ape. Like the previous Spoiler Pack, the TakaraTomy release is packaged in a standard windowed box.

Notes

'E's a proppa Giza.

• Despite being a bird, Giza recycles the name of the originalGiza (itself an animal-sword for a Nemesis Prime), whose name is derived fromnokogirizame (ノコギリザメ), the Japanese term for thesaw shark.
• Line artistRobby Musso drew Giza (at right) for the lateral packaging art depicting Evolution Nemesis Prime's Nemesis Pax form,^[3] though the final cropping does not have Giza in view.^[4]

Foreign names

• Japanese:Giza (ギザ)
