- The Giga Meter is built out of a Power Scrubber 'N' Buffer with assorted electronics along with spinning lights inside a plastic dome. The ears on top of the Giga Meters are made out of Realistic Stereo Microphones, and rotate back and forth. (source: GB Fans)

The successful opening of the RTD Metro Blue Line on July 14, 1990 is in jeopardy when the sinister Gridlock uses his Gloomsday Device (the Giga Meter prop) to prevent commuters from learning about the fast and efficient rail service between downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach. Reporter April O'Neil calls on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (even though they're New York based) to come to the rescue and help spread the word about the new public transit system. This 10.5 minute PSA video from the Southern California Rapid Transit District features the voice actors from the 1987 cartoon as the Turtles' voices. That's definitely Rob Paulsen's voice I hear. You can watch the video in it's entirety on Youtube (the Giga Meter prop is seen from 1:23-1:48, 3:38-3:45, 6:56-7:07, 7:34-9:35) (the audio is a tad off sync).

The Giga Meter appears ever so briefly in a montage where Starfleet officers scanned every uniform on the ship for traces of Klingon blood. In this scene, the pivoting microphone "Ears" of the meter are missing, but the digital display on the top was still visible as well as the "Scanning Orb" on the bottom of the device.
Buy the movie on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD. These images come from Brian Roland here and here.
