I really like the colors on that figure, I remember back in the day seeing him on the shelf and being excited that there was a new Galvatron figure. Then my disappointment when I realized they just repainted Megatron again...just like they did in RID. Thanks for the Shout-Out. Hooah!!!!
Man I miss this toy I almost had the entire Armada collection, with the exception of some that I didn't have. Funny thing is that when I had put the batteries in the turret, for the sake of completion, after transforming this toy several times it got annoying, that I ended up removing the batteries.😂🤣😂
Funny enough, I was actually able to fix the issue with the nob at 17:30, I had to open up the toy, dab a tiny bit of glue, and now the nob turns the turret perfectly.
I find it interesting how they repainted Megatron to darker colors and then “let’s do this and call it a Galvatron!” 4 times in a row! An interesting thing to point out about this repaint is that Clench (the repainted Leader One) gives me kind of a Deadend vibe.
Thanks for the review Bert. Thank you. I collected transformers heavily in the late nineties early 2000 and then lost interest. Your reviews resparked my interest in the hobby.
Ah, the Armada Megs. The funkiest evolution of G2 Megs. Would've been cool if Hasbrah retooled Leader Movie Brawl into a new Armada Megs but oh well....
I’ve had most of the first releases of armada back in ‘02. These were pretty top notch engineering at the time. They articulations sucks at most but the figures are solid. Great retro review and great video!✌🏻
Optimus Prime: Megatron fire- Galvatron: Galvatron to you. Optimus Prime: Same thing or different whatever just fire at that junkcan already. That Galvatron toy is really cool and awesome I kind of like the idea of make Megatron as Galvatron as a recolor but not a fan of it. I hope Hasbro have Megatron and Galvatron to make a separate of characters in games, comics and tv shows too. Thank you for the video. #Decepticon #Hasbro #Takara #Galvatron
Dope !!! Figure started collect this year with megatron 2002 I found now in loving the legacy series up to 14 figures .. I want this … hoping they repaint the recent redo megatron … with this colour scheme fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Still a good figure regardless of color scheme. Got the Legacy United version of the Armada Galvatron, and Hasbro and Takara even went out of their way to give the figure a new face mold. Now he's angry.
Hey Bert great reviews on everything with the Armada Megatron and Galvatron have you done any reviews tidal Wave combined with Megatron or Galvatron personally I think it would be great if you did one. Thanks in advance take care and good bye.
The ones I remember owning as a kid were Hot Shot (his red form), Optimus Prime (with his trailer), Wheeljack, and Nemesis Prime. Not as nearly as many as I would like, but it was better than nothing.
LegoAWC Stopmotioner Depends, there's a lot to love, but there's also a lot to hate. Research the figures before you get them, I don't think this is one you want to be a completist on (I'm looking at you Armada Sideswipe!) but there's definitely some gems in there as well. Thanks for watching!
To be fair in Micron Densetsu he wasn't called Galvatron, the colour change was the "super mode" form of Megatron, so no name change (which I'm pretty sure you knew as you've referred to the Japanese G1 shows before, so I'm going to make an ass of myself and assume you've also watched these in their original language! 😉). It's the same with Car Robots, Super Link and I'm not sure about Galaxy Force, I don't recall. I'm angry at myself because I had a load of Armada toys I bought brand new, but when I had to move back in with my Mum I needed to cull some of my collections due to space restraints as I was getting all of the MOTUC figures at the time, so I sold both Megatron and Galvatron along with a bunch of other Armada, Energon and Car Robots figures. (Insert emoticon of head banging on brick wall here!) I've managed to get a few back, but I still kick myself from time to time as mine were immaculate as I was an adult when I got them! Ah well, such is life! Thanks for another great review Bert!
The reason Megatron goes Galvatron and Megatron again is because Hasbro wanted to keep the trademark on those names (and because Megatron sells more toys). Aaron Archer himself wanted to call the Energon toy Galvatron Imperius.
TwistedGaming918 Yeah, I think in the Japanese versions Armada Megatron stayed Megatron through both paint schemes (just added something like Super Megatron or something like that to the white repaint) and actually got reborn and renamed into Galvatron in Super Link (Energon) Thanks for watching!
@@BertTheStormtrooper Japan has different trademark laws. Galaxy Force (since it was its own continuity) played it straight with Master Megatron evolving into Master Galvatron.
Awesome figure!! I want to ask you about third party figures. Some of them are awesome and look more accurate to their movie counterpart that the official toys, but are they legal?
Unfortunately not. Back then these were designed this way to accommodate for "try me" features you could play with while the figure was still in its package. Thanks for watching!
He uses the blade in the left wrist twice in armada. i know he uses it the second time in episide 52. Does anyone know in which episode he is using it for the first time?
@@BertTheStormtrooper do you have a link for like a replacement parts site? Cuz I can definitely do a repair myself, just don't know where the parts are.
@@TheRacknker I don't. I would take the speaker out then look for one of the same size on Amazon. It's how I fixed one of my electronic 'chuffing' boxcars on my train sets
It uses 3 A-76 button cell batteries. You can see and download the instruction manual here; tfwiki.net/~fortmax/instructions/ARM/Galvatron.pdf Thanks for watching!

They did it to keep the trademark.
I just realized hotshot is basically Bumblebee and Rodimus as one character
Yeah. Cheetor and Hot Shot took on the pseudo Bumblebee roles in the 90s & 2000s respectively.
