An enigmatic Decepticon from a future timeline, Gigatron quickly found his way to Galvatron's inner circle. He and the former Decepticon leader grew close, to the point where Gigatron became the heir apparent to the Decepticon throne. With Galvatron out of the picture he now styles himself Decepticon leader, an idea that not everyone agrees with.
(See Old Continuity)
After successfully reviving Galvatron and spearheading the Decepticons' return to glory in 2015, Gigatron served temporarily as Metrotitan City Commander and Protector of Earth until he went to Cybertron to stop Jhiaxus from destroying the universe. After leading the main assault on and helping to destroy Unicron, he received the Decepticon Matrix of Leadership from the dying Galvatron and became Decepticon leader Teratron. His shaky tenure, including a period of extended peace with the Autobots and a civil war with upstart Thunderwing, was cut short by a revived Megatron (whom he later destroyed) kidnapping him and the Matrix.
Following Galvatron's revival, Gigatron vanished back into the future for some months, until he returned to 2018 to reclaim his title. With Galvatron's presumably suicidal deep space recon mission lasting many months, Gigatron reclaimed de facto leadership of the Decepticons and resumed a campaign of aggression toward the Autobots. In 2021, the Warworld was completed, and Gigatron called a temporary ceasefire with the Autobots to reclaim Cybertron from its Quintesson occupiers.
After the Transformers' home was liberated, Gigatron set his sights on finding and defeating the Cybertronian Empire, to the exclusion of all else. He would soon come to regret this, as his single-minded focus allowed Megatron to rebuild his power base, seize control of Polyhex and send Gigatron and his loyalists into exile.
