Manga continuity
(The Japanese manga for Transformers 2010 -- US Transformers season 3 -- is a suppliment to the television series. The events chronicling Guiltor's one and only appearance take place between the episodes "Starscream's Ghost" and "Ghost in the Machine")

Guiltor was a bizzare fusion of the bodies and powers of Optimus Prime and Megatron, constructed by the evil Quintessons. Guiltor not only amalgamated their appearances, but their abilities and skills, as well. However, without a Spark to grant it sentience, Guiltor was nothing but an ineffective drone. At some point, the Quintessons met with the vengeful ghost of deceased Decepticon Air Commander, Starscream, and found the spark they were looking for.



Guiltor then joined forces with Galvatron and quickly rose up the ranks. Galvatron was well-aware that Guiltor was a creation of the Quintessons, and that he combined the powers of Optimus Prime and Megatron. However, Galvatron was not aware of the presence of Starscream and believed Guiltor to be completely loyal.

Galvatron and Guiltor next set-up a trap to dispose of the Autobot Supreme Commander, Rodimus Prime. Galvatron invited Rodimus to a one-on-one showdown, knowing Rodimus could not decline such an offer, on the condition that he come alone. Galvatron through the match and let himself be defeated. Rodimus was confused, unable to believe that he could defeat the great Galvatron so easily.

The instant Rodimus let his guard down, Galvatron called upon Guiltor to attack. Guiltor popped out of the blue and struck Rodimus down with his Revolver laser. A single blow from that awesome attack defeated Rodimus. Pleased with his victory, Galvatron began to sing Guiltor's praises.



Then, when Galvatron least suspected it, Guiltor turned on his Emperor of Destruction and smacked him up real good. Guiltor announced his plans to usurp leadership of the Decepticons and hurled the defeated Galvatron into the same pit as Rodimus Prime. Surprised to see one another, Galvatron explained to Rodimus that Guiltor combined the skills of Optimus Prime and Megatron, making him virtually invincible.

Not accepting defeat, Rodimus and Galvatron called an uneasy truce to defeat their common foe. Together, they overwhelmed Guiltor with attacks and finally finished him off with a combined "Galvatron/Rodimus Kick!" Guiltor's body destroyed, bot Rodimus and Galvatron were shocked to see Starscream's Ghost flying out of the corpse. The two then agreed to go their seperate ways, though the truce was off.

Toys
Guiltor was designed by the folks at TV Magazine solely for his one comic appearance. A toy of the character was never created.
