Considering the movie itself didn't even put effort in creating a proper transformation scene for this guy, i mean his transformation is basically truck -> many cubes thingy -> robot Hasbro really did a great job in creating an actual transformation for this guy.
Toy designers did a great job with this one, couldn't have been an easy feat engineering such a good transformation for a character who didn't even have one to begin with. I really like the extra detail of adding a panel with a second chest hole on the back to help sell the illusion of that hole going straight through his whole torso.
Got this guy today and he doesn't disappoint. He looks good, feels good and is made well. Quality materials and the engineering is top-notch. Very sweet. Very happy with this SS Galvatron.
Considering the herculean task of turning a very flash and sleek truck into the goddam mess that Galvatron is, this is probably as good as it gets without turning it into a third party nightmare of a transformation. The paint is so much better this time around compared to the first version of Galvatron
Unique toys nero's transformation actually looks kinda fun with the fold in and out transformation. Atleast better than alien attacker SUSSY baka godziller bomb israel zuniceratops mm poop smelly shoes
I was never a fan of this character but after buying him, I actually enjoy it! This is one of the most enjoyable transformations in a Studio Series figure. The figure, while not perfect in either mode is still a pretty nice figure, and an enjoyable range of articulation.
I'm impressed that the designers were able to come with any kind of Transformation for this guy seeing as they had nothing to go off of in the first place. The fact that Hasbro got this to work at all let's me forgive his feet sticking out of the back of the vehicle mode.
I always love your reviews and walk throughs for transformation. So helpful and easy to follow. Was just watching another and they didn't take the extra time to explain things like you do.
Not sure how everyone else feels about this but I didn't see galvatron from the movie as a transformer more of a reformer. It's nice to see an actual transformation for him cause the movie did all the KSI deceptions dirty.
An idea for 3rd party upgrade kit companies is to make new arms that are not hollowed and with wrist articulation and then new feet so they can collapse better for truck mode.
They really should have done more with the feet to make them sit flatter between the back wheels. Other than that it's cool to see a new version of this guy with far more detailed engineering.
yep were still missing the rest of the aoe/ tlk dinobots, were still missing the Guardian knights (dragonstorm) and were still missing the infernocons (infernocus)
@@Dualbladedscorpion7737 not to mention the -red coats- Decepticons Megatron had released from prison to take on the Autobots. Still can't believe Nitro was the only one to get a toy while the only one to get _denied_ freedom, Berserker, got a bunch! Yes they all died quickly but that hasn't been an excuse before? They may be my favorite part of The Last Knight.
@AlezanderNX that's what I said. My point is that none of the Cons who died during their first outing got toys while the guy with only 10 seconds of screen time got a few. That film is just a mess in every way.
I know people don't really like shell formers, but it always made sense to me for galvatron to be a shell former or have an inside out transformation cause with the other transformers you can follow the parts like a map to see where they go on the robot. With galvatron it's literally 🤖 ✨️ 🚛
So did anyone else not notice the atrocious mold change to the top of the chest? I hope a third party makes an upgrade kit with the chest how it looked on the back of the box.
Props to the figure engineers. They were tasked with the impossible. And who knows? Perhaps this can act as a template for a Knight AoE Optimus Prime. Actually… they could literally find a way to either put false mufflers on the back piece, or they could make them removable, like with Studio Series Blitzwing. Either way, it’s a possibility.
I honestly feel like hasbro will use the engineering technic of this mold to make an AOE/TLK version of prime. In a way I'm alright with it but I need this figure to make a better judgment.
I'm not going to get mad that this Galvatron isn't a blocky purple robot that turns into a laser cannon, I like the realistic modern Michael Bay movie designs. By the way can Galvatron haul an Optimus Prime trailer you forgot to show us that?
Got mine a couple days ago. Not keen on the price increase here (£40 for SS Voyagers now? When they used to be £33) and he feels lacking in some areas (no ball joint neck, no wrist swivels, hollow forearms....and those truck mode feet) but overall he's pretty fun to play with and pose and I like him a lot more in hand than I thought I would. Transformation is quite enjoyable too.
You know, looking at Galvatron here, give him a sword and you got a movieverse Motormaster. Made better with Hasbro having made some movieverse Stunticons
Mine came with 2 left handed fuel tank flaps instead of one left and one right. So the fuel tank on the passenger side doesn’t tab in for the truck mode. Doesn’t affect the robot mode but I ordered another one and am returning this one.
I don't know how to process that face. Are the blue bits a mustache? Is his mouth a few millimeters from his spikey beard, or is he doing a kissy face and his mouth is actually the two indentations just above it? There's just so many questions...
Okay, so how the hell am I supposed to store the cannon in robot mode, I mean they could just split the cannon in half, then each half stores on each leg?
i only shop walmart and here where i live the last wave of SS came out in September with only Soundwave coming out since. been close to a year since we've gotten a wave of anything, its happened before though :(
@@darylgarza645 I'm normally used to these kinds of delays since we usually get neglected, but seriously?!!! Shockwave in December 2020 was the last??!!! Come on. We actually received the ROTF Sideswipe and Cybertronian Bumblebee recently so the streak has been broken
@@darylgarza645 no buddy. I'm talking about SHOCKWAVE. LEADER Shockwave. DOTM version. He was in stores along with Scavenger for over 1.5 years and ofc when I finally decide to get him, he's sold out. I think ToysRus got so sick of Scavenger so they sold him for half price! I was so excited because that was the first transformer I bought since 2019
@@ShavayD lol, oh sorry bout that. yeah we also had Scavenger Shatter and her helicopter buddy stay on shelves for about a year when they came, but not 1.5 years, thats a little too long!

Yeah, Galvatron basically turns into a flying pile of Legos when he transforms
like the old Kreo transformers you had to take apart to transform
@@lkerzgrl24 Precisely!
Parts forming! Shshsh it's ok 😂😹
@@seanvanderstruys5196 😂
Galvatron used to look like he was just carrying a truck in his back
now It's like he ate the truck.
Literally just got him out of the box. Couldn't have uploaded at a better time because no way am I deciphering the instructions myself
You could always try to figure it out without instructions, it's kind of fun doing that.
@@UndeadAhead that's true
NEVER use the instructions! They are always absolutely crap with Transformers. UA-cam videos are the way
Honestly though, they suck
How did u get him early?
You can't tell me Hasbro didn't know that the upgrade kit makers will have a field day with those abominations of feet hanging out.

"You remind me of someone who's head I ripped off.
Yea that freaking hurt." That had me going 😄
Yeah. I love all his skits at the end. I look forward to those as much as the video it self 🤣
I find it funny that in the movie Galvatron was basically a third party knockoff Transformers made in China.
Hasbro literally implementing the very concept that they are against into their movies.
"Galvacrotch"
Never would I have imagined that word coming into fruition
This is what happens when the robot barely has any distinguishable parts of the vehicle
OPTIMUS: You have no soul
GALVATRON: That is why I have no FEAR OR BURRITOS!!!!
Lol
Spoiler alert!
GALVATRON: Seriously, where are my BURRITOS!!!!

For every Studio Series, I look forward to the Black Magic DNA may give the Upgrade Kit...

Im surprised this didnt come in a semisolid liquid metal you just mold into its alt forms
LEGO could also make use of this Galvatron

AOE had a lot of great ideas but executed them poorly
@@mrscruffles801 very badly
Nice mate! Me just waiting for the rusty evasion mode Optimus prime lol. ☝🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🤞🏻🌌
I can't wait for Sideways later! Can't wait to find this new figures too!
It's a shame that they couldn't have just implemented one or two more joints on the feet so that they could fold flat and form a trailer hitch
Here’s how I think of it: Galvatron’s feet are like that in truck mode because that’s his way of saying, “I don’t need a trailer. I am Galvatron!”
2:00 is the reason I've been a fan for years
Can’t wait to get my hands on this guy great review as always 👍🏾
I was expecting this to be a leader class figure!
An idea for 3rd party upgrade kit companies is to make new arms that are not hollowed and with wrist articulation and then new feet so they can collapse better for truck mode.
just ordered this guy yesterday on Amazon... super excited
They really should have done more with the feet to make them sit flatter between the back wheels. Other than that it's cool to see a new version of this guy with far more detailed engineering.
I hope they come out with a new Sentinel Prime figure, so we can see a Mascot vs Sentinel Prime video
They did
Galvatron the ultimate pencil sharpener
I actually like Galvatron's design.
Same, I always thought it was sleek and badass. Don't get why many hated it.
Thank you for this video! Love the ending!
Wait, what? He doesn't separate into a million pieces and forms into a truck? The movie false advertised what the toy was supposed to be.
wish it came with 2 missile clusters
Theres gotta be someone working on the upgrade kit out there for those feet.
given hes a clone of prime he probably had a odd urge for pizza bagles he cant explain
Weapon Storage is a good bit of engineering. Too bad the foot cannot become a more convincing hitch section.
Considering how he transforms in the movie the fact they could hide the car at all is awesome to me
It's about time we got another AOE figure. AOE and TLK have very little representation in Studio Series, especially when it comes to new molds.
yep were still missing the rest of the aoe/ tlk dinobots, were still missing the Guardian knights (dragonstorm) and were still missing the infernocons (infernocus)
Studio Series started a year after TLK came out, so I imagine there were a lot of TLK product still on the shelves at the time.

Great Review Emgo
The world needs more GALVATRON!!!!!!
I love the skit!

Excellent review God bless you and yours!
So did anyone else not notice the atrocious mold change to the top of the chest? I hope a third party makes an upgrade kit with the chest how it looked on the back of the box.
The box still has a small window, but without a piece of transparent plastic XD
Literally just got mine today thanks to Amazon 😭
Robot mode winner: Studio Series
Truck mode winner: original AoE
Can't unsee that moustache on his face.
Props to the figure engineers. They were tasked with the impossible. And who knows? Perhaps this can act as a template for a Knight AoE Optimus Prime.

"My brothers today I grant you your freedom, and from now on...YOU ARE COMMANDED BY ME RISE UP!
I am excited as all hell to get this guy
I would get a extra galvatron to paint him red and black like his vehicle appearance in Sonic the movie
ooohh! Nice idea
Could've sworn this figure was due out later but noice, hopefully Sideways is around the corner
Just got Studio Series Galvatron off of Amazon, but I do have my eyes on the Unique Toys Nero (Galvatron)
Truck is a argosy freight liner btw
I honestly feel like hasbro will use the engineering technic of this mold to make an AOE/TLK version of prime. In a way I'm alright with it but I need this figure to make a better judgment.
Hasbro should sponsor you just for those mini skits alone
I'm not going to get mad that this Galvatron isn't a blocky purple robot that turns into a laser cannon, I like the realistic modern Michael Bay movie designs.
By the way can Galvatron haul an Optimus Prime trailer you forgot to show us that?
I didn't forget. it's pretty obvious he can't haul anything with his feet back there.
@@emgo316 It doesn't hurt to try though especially if it's funny. 🤣
nah, I'll pass on that one.
They had to use the inside out transformation. Truck Design to robot design is almost impossible to do.
Hollow arms😑....
Anyway great review 👌🏻 👍🏻 👏🏻
Why is the inside out transformation despised? They transform? And the entire aspect of the bay designs. But yeah it looks good here
cant wait for slag crosshairs strafe if they make those
Got mine a couple days ago. Not keen on the price increase here (£40 for SS Voyagers now? When they used to be £33) and he feels lacking in some areas (no ball joint neck, no wrist swivels, hollow forearms....and those truck mode feet) but overall he's pretty fun to play with and pose and I like him a lot more in hand than I thought I would. Transformation is quite enjoyable too.
Awesome transformer and action figure!

Emgo review when the figure is not in alt mode
I'm beginning to think that maybe perhaps perchance he has no soul (possibly no fear but I'm still looking into that
You know, looking at Galvatron here, give him a sword and you got a movieverse Motormaster. Made better with Hasbro having made some movieverse Stunticons
well funny enough, galvatron was originally going to be motormaster
Mine came with 2 left handed fuel tank flaps instead of one left and one right. So the fuel tank on the passenger side doesn’t tab in for the truck mode. Doesn’t affect the robot mode but I ordered another one and am returning this one.
Nice voyager anda nice video thanks
Thank you for this video.
COOL STUDIO SERIES VOYAGER GALVATRON
Not too fond of how the back looks in vehicle mode but at least it’s isn’t a shellformer.
No soul! No Fear! No Burritos!
That’s a lot of comparisons for one voyager class
Good figure would probably but it if I get the chance,and this review was very nice
This dude has been my childhood
you forgot to mention that if you untab the waist you can get an ab crunch
ok
Bro was supposed to be a optimus prime copy. But megatron's brain was no fully dead
He looks like "The Metal" from Tenacious D.
I only have the one step changer
Dang I must get my hands on him
4:26 hhhhhhh kinda reminds me of g1 Optimus prime's storage for his hands
How would you rank all 5 movie Megatron/Galvatron designs
1) TF5
2) Movie 1
3) ROTF
4) DOTM
5) Galvatron :-:
Emgo what is your opinion on including the JTI at the end of the review, or at least just the vehicle-to-robot transformation?
There’s already the JTI for that.
I don't know how to process that face. Are the blue bits a mustache? Is his mouth a few millimeters from his spikey beard, or is he doing a kissy face and his mouth is actually the two indentations just above it? There's just so many questions...
Okay, so how the hell am I supposed to store the cannon in robot mode, I mean they could just split the cannon in half, then each half stores on each leg?
There is third company who Made galvatron too and the result is so sick u should watch it
Hmm I'm surprised emgo didn't put a bloosh on his chest. But then again the bayverse ss figures don't have blast effects.
Can't wait to get him myself, only thing I don't like is his arms bcs they are kinda small
Behold, Holotron....
6:39 Reckon Studio Series Core Class Ravage could sneak in?
I’m pretty sure his arms and legs were bulkier in the film and the arm cannon was bigger
This design is always gonna be the weird one at retail price and size.
I would've died if galvatron started moving ,and beat the crap out of mascot. 😂
Idk if it’s just me, but that figure looks like it’s missing two things:
1. Soul
2. Fear
Other than the cannon, I think the new one is pretty good
We haven't gotten any transformers figures since December 2020. HOPEFULLY, we will get this guy eventually
