Oh, and back in the day, this exact figure is a huge factor in my leaving collecting until, I stumbled across Kingdom Cyclonus, and about creamed myself, just maybe 4 months ago. I'm up to like 18 figures now lol, and a 6 foot diorama.
Great video Jcc2224!!!!!!!! Kingdom Galvatron is fantastic, and despite his shoulders being misassembled, he has a great transformation and overall is the best Galvatron figure we have gotten in ages. Keep on being amazing.
The matrix actually has a tab/slot connection under the cannon barrel in cannon mode. You put the chain over the barrel and tab the matrix in under it.
I just wish Hasbro and Takara didn't wimp out after fan backlash and stop doing battle damage on their mainline figures, that way Galvatron, Hoist and the Siege Bunch wouldn't look so out of place.
New Subscriber here. I love these comparison videos. Universe Galvatron was the first Galvatron figure I ever owned and I hated it! I can't believe it's taken 15 years for CHUG to produce an awesome figure for him!
@@haroldcjennettiii It is an acronym that stands for "Classics Henkei Universe Generations" It is an easy way of referring to all the update toys from Hasbro and Takara from 2006 to now.
Great video! My local comic shop as like 5 of those old universe galvatrons loose lmao. Super happy with the Kingdom Galvatron, been wanting a really good version of him for long time.
The execution of the universe toy sucks, but the concept makes perfect sense. I mean, look at G1 Megatron vs Galvatron when it comes to alt modes, Megatron turned into a pistol, right? Galvatron turns into a laser pistol, a direct evolution of Megs, and then on top of that he also becomes a laser cannon, which in and of itself is a direct upgrade from the laser pistol he already turns into. Universe Galvatron pretty much sets out to accomplish the same thing but in the context that Megatron now turns into a tank. He's now a Cybertronian tank as a direct upgrade and on top of that features a third mode where his tank form sprouts legs and gains the ability to walk. The way it's done isn't perfect, absolutely not but I would love to see them tackle this concept again especially since if you want a G1 accurate Galvatron, well you have the Kingdom figure already.
Tbh I think everyone gives the Universe figure too rough a time. First of all, he was clearly designed to be a voyager or ultra figure and was scaled down. Second, the reason for that was likely because some kids (such as myself) couldn’t really afford a lot of the voyagers, ultras, etc, so having main characters in the deluxe class was for those kids. Third, it was a tenner. The deluxe Optimus from Classics/Universe is kinda problematic but that one doesn’t get ragged on nearly as much. And we all love G1 but getting slavish recreations, some of which rereleased wave after wave, gets boring and stale after a while and the design philosophy of Universe was to redesign and revamp the classic designs to be more modern and more practical. Is Universe Galvatron the best thing ever? God no, but it really isn’t as terrible as everyone makes it out to be.
Ok, there's probably 100 comments saying all this already. !, I got the shoulder fixed on off amazon for $50 a couple weeks ago. HAHA! lol 2, the matrix DOES come off the chain, it's off the chain lol. 3, The ship is called "the revenge". 4, If you happen to NOT like any of the battle damage on wfc figures, just wipe it with isopropyl alcohol. Avoid any paint apps you want to keep, logo, etc. And you'll have to wipe pretty vigorously. Be sure to avoid it dripping or running onto paint in other places. Just get your qtip damp, not wet, and it's fine.
I think Kingdom/Legacy Galvatron is the most solid unit Hasbro has produced. When the figure is widely misassembled and it makes no difference beyond a minor aesthetic change, and it's still a legendary robot that turns into a legendary space cannon by way of a fun and intuitive transformation, you know they've done it right. This, Cyclonus, and Commander Magnus are some of the best engineering and near pedect figures in a long, long time.
Well I compare the oldest version of a character released in some format to the newest. I would have made this a comparison against the original G1 toy, but given the repaint coming out in toy colors, I'm reserving that comparison for when that comes out. So, I decided to compare the oldest Classics/Universe/Generations version of Galvatron to the newest!
Huh. I have never had any issues getting his shoulders plugged into his chest for Cannon mode. I’d just make sure the cylinder that makes up his chest is as straight and flush as possible.
Universe Deluxe class Galvatron vs. Kingdom Leader class Galvatron?? Ohhh, that's just unfair. Titans Return Voyager class Galvatron - flawed as it was for having the linewide Headmaster gimmick forced onto it - was already vastly superior to the old Universe Galvatron. But a comparison of that poor Deluxe class turd to the Kingdom version is a straight up slaughter!! 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
Bumblebee yes, Wreckers no. I don't buy many Studio Series autobots, they're too small and fiddly and rarely look better than the older ones. I try not to buy it all! lol
@@Jcc2224 you too? Even as Megatron he wasn’t that mean! Also, what about an Old Vs New about me Human? If you do, i promise that i will not alow Galvatron to kill you :)

Kingdom Galvatron's fists look like he's about to flip the bird at some Autobots.
According to the lore Galvatron's ships name is called THE REVENGE
Wish the hands could open, since this is a leader class figure
I can almost hear Leonard Nemoy's (R.I.P.) voice coming out of kingdom Galvatron's face
Great video Jcc2224!!!!!!!! Kingdom Galvatron is fantastic, and despite his shoulders being misassembled, he has a great transformation and overall is the best Galvatron figure we have gotten in ages. Keep on being amazing.
Lol, he's technically the ONLY good Galvatron toy we got officially, the TR one was also pretty good.
@@Traph Agreed. :D
The matrix actually has a tab/slot connection under the cannon barrel in cannon mode. You put the chain over the barrel and tab the matrix in under it.
Been waiting for this one! I LOVE your Old v New videos.
You gotta REALLY push the tabs into the slots in turret mode. It’s hard af but it’s doable.
I honestly prefer the old's Alt mode
I was given the Titans Return Galvatron as a gift when it came out. It's not that bad and I still have it after getting the Kingdom version.
Hey I just wanted to say that your videos are really really good and entertaining and informative. You really do deserve much more subs and views man
I just wish Hasbro and Takara didn't wimp out after fan backlash and stop doing battle damage on their mainline figures, that way Galvatron, Hoist and the Siege Bunch wouldn't look so out of place.

The old Universe's Galvatron figure is the real *bad comedy*

Perfect time to find this.
Perhaps an interesting comparison could be between reveal the shield vs kingdom core class optimus.
Oooo that WOULD be interesting... I'll keep it in mind!

This line is superior. I don’t see how they can top this Galvatron specially.
Can confirm, Galvatron is a THICC BOI!
Nice vid but the matrix is able to come of the chain also I got this galvatron a few days ago my only problem is he looks kinda chunky on his chest
If his shoulders are fixed and u get rid of the battle damage he is perfect
Can’t wait for the clean repaint coming out.
Legacy! 👍🏼
Hey I have a suggestion could you do a old vs new on war for cybertron (video game version) deluxe class soundwave vs 2021 deluxe cyberverse soundwave
I don't get comparing Kingdom with this version... Either the Energon Galvatron or the Prime Wars Galvatron might have been a more fair comparison

Love the vid! Just a heads up, I hope you get my package I’m sending to your P.O. Box. Again, great vid
I just got a box today, dunno if it's from you but it could be, I'll let you know. Thanks man!
Day 9 of asking Jcc2224 for his top 10 favorite megatron figures
Your burps are unique just like my sneezing
With Titans return there’s no contest
There was no contest here either, this was a slaughter. lol
“Here’s a hint!”

Hey good vid man keep it up
I got the legacy version for the price of Deluxe
Will you do some SS old vs new? Like Bee or Wreckers
Bumblebee yes, Wreckers no. I don't buy many Studio Series autobots, they're too small and fiddly and rarely look better than the older ones. I try not to buy it all! lol
Hey man how r u, also have u seen the new kingdom show yet or no?
Haven't watched it yet but I will. From what I've seen the voice acting is... uh... far from ideal. lol
@@Jcc2224 lol
Personally ordered the toy redeco
Very fair choice. I gotta get both cuz I'm a Galvatron whore.
@@Jcc2224 you too? Even as Megatron he wasn’t that mean! Also, what about an Old Vs New about me Human? If you do, i promise that i will not alow Galvatron to kill you :)
Yo
Very fartwothy Galvatron transformering😛
