To be fair if it weren’t for Titans Return Galvatron, we wouldn’t have the Awesomeness that is Super Megatron 🤟🏻🔥
I mean super megatron really isn't a very good toy so
Pooper Megatron.
That's true, and kinda ironic that Galvatron got updated to Super Megatron :)
We can hope for a dedicated super Megatron mold some day.
@@chataclysm2112 what are you talking about? Super Megatron was stellar!
Now if only I had a dollar for every time Thew said “Galvatron.”
Also “Galvatron. Galvatron 2. It’s a thing. Your welcome.”
What about my welcome?
@@_V.Va_ it's escaped
I'm not complaining.
Not to be confused with Megatron 2, who might be Straxus.
Did anyone else absolutely lose it when Thew did the little "zap~" at the end? XD
i gasped and shuttered my curtains personally
Dedicated to the Steelworkers of America.
"Zyap"
“Galavatron Galvatron 2, It’s a Thing, You’re Welcome” is clearly about to skyrocket to the top of the charts.
"Behold! ...Me." is an unbelievable power move
I love that we finally have a Galvatron that just turns into a cannon. They didn't feel the need to change him into a tank, or shoehorn in some weird quasi-spaceship mode to justify it. He's just a goofy space cannon thing, as he should be. It's like after all this time, Hasbro's finally starting to let characters with goofy, stupid or outdated alt-modes keep those alt-modes.
I'm not saying Universe 2.0 Galvatron was hard to transform. ALL I'm saying is that I got him back into tank mode and Pinhead appeared.
I had him as a kid and I'm still finding pieces here and there.
Pack up the internet.....this guy has won......
(Yeah that was funny,)
"Who you callin' pinhead?"
We have such toys to show you.
We will tear your calluses APART~!!
I love the fact that Takara has decided to make Galvatron II a thing despite pretty much only existing in a comic continuity they didn't even get in Japan!
I love the fact that the Galvatron II comes with the comic book accurate green matrix! now how about a leader class thunderwing, hasbro?
Man, I would LOVE to drop $60 on a Marvel style Thunderwing.
But then that raises the question of who would also use that mold? Hasbro would so want to reuse that for more figures.
@@AlphaAsylum93
Black Shadow, obviously.
@@EungsuLee yeah, but that seems so…obvious. I mean, like getting obscure and going commander class on the size.
I want a tfp the game Thunderwing.
6:49 YES EXACTLY. There was a S3 episode where Cyclonus took Galvatron to a different planet to get "cured". It didn't work, every possible treatment ended up in Galvatron wanting to murder everything around him. The episode is called WebWorld, but I don't get why you hate Season 3. Feels more focused than Season 1 and 2.
Well, as "focused" as the G1 cartoon can be.
Season 3's characters are far less iconic and far more annoying than Season 1 and 2's characters.
Never would have thought I’d hear Thew say “Galveston”, love it
I'm a 30-minute drive from Galveston, Texas. Thanks for the mention!
Look, Heart of Darkness and that one cover aside, late IDW Galvatron under John Barber’s pen actually made me love the guy. After years of associating him with some annoying fans who just wanted him as The Edgier Megatron, Barber casting him as TF Conan The Barbarian really brought him up in my eyes. Bonus points for the sibling dynamic with Arcee (who’s easily top 3 in my IDW characters list), even if it made that cover Even Worse.
I feel even more uncomfortable about that cover now.
Agreed. Even HOD made him distinctly not Megatron.
Also, god that cover is the worst. Arcee was one of the strongest bots in that canon. Only being bested by Ultra Magnus cause she was enraged and he prepped. She fucked up the entireity of the combaticons, and they had to run away. Fort Max didnt bother trying to put her back in the cage. And thats all in one of her worst stories which had the decency to have her standing over Jhiaxus' corpses
@@mudawott 1st run Idw arcee is what happens when you have to do mental gymnastics to justify a characters design.
@@thedude4840 "Robots are genderless so girl robot has to be bad science experiment" -Simon Furman
@@mudawott just to be clear I mean furman doing mental gymnastics not us there were so many better ways to make arcee hate jiahaxus that didn’t involve so many questionable writing choices and retroactive repairs.
I like to think of the ship/guns as deployable drones that Galvatron can have docked with him for amplified gun value when firing... but mostly has flying around him in a loose orbit, blasting anyone who tries to sneak up on his one-direction-pure-offense cannon mode.
This is to say that I like to imagine that their proper use is to NOT be attached to him in any way if it can be avoided.
I know I'm probably the only one, but I feel they could squeeze one more mold re-use out of him..... For a Gen-Selects Straxus!
you change the head, barelly rework the legs and bang, Straxus
Or Superlink Galvatron, those colors are *sick*
It has been done by a third party, so I think the precedent’s been set.
I have good news for you, friend
Well, this aged well.
I like how he has unique dirt on him. it makes sense with him, is not eccessive, and in the upcoming re-release he doesn't even have it (and that means either a nice number cheaper of second handor and actuall other version). since I'm hunting for a cyclonus and a scourge, I could splurge and grab him
transformation is not one thing you can do without looking, but it's not eccessive
gridline is a fan pandering to go with the megatron from RED, it's for pure diorama creation and we all just accept it
the toy color, or GalvatronII version is something I firmly believe GS should be; a more effective way of reusing mold while giving people that wants a very specific niche filled their due, at the same time not going to badly touch the regular release, castrating the whole effect on the line like it happened multiple times in the past
on a secondary note, after the thing with MegatronX from cyberverse, they should fully reintroduce GalvatronII. let's face it, mirror matches in action cartoons are always entertaining to watch, especially when it's bad guys duking it out and not "good charather and his evil clone"
I'm impressed at how the chest plate creates the illusion that the entire torso changes from robot purple to cannon off-white. Having said that, I really like the 'toy accurate' colours. They say, this is still Megatron, and also would have made it easier to distinguish him from Cyclonus in passing group shots.
How does Thew NOT HAVE AT LEAST 1Million SUBS BY NOW? The Answer, people arent properly appreciating his work unlike his subscribers which ARE appreciating his work. KEEP GOIN THEW, WE NEED MORE ONE LINER CATCHPHRASES THAT ONLY YE CAN COME UP WITH
My only complaint about this toy is that it doesn't come with its own custom blast effect, or any for that matter.
Like what is the point of getting the perfect cannon form if we cant get a proper purple Starscream disintegration beam?
The one Scourge came with does the job decently, but raises the question of why he got a blast effect but not Galvatron...
@@josiaharaki7310 because SS86
I use the blast effect that Planet X Coeus comes with, and it works wonderfully. And yeah, it's a shame that this Galvatron doesn't come with one and we have those two blaster ships instead. The chained Matrix is dope though
Personally, I quite like the way it looks like he's wearing wingtip brogues. Gives him an Al Capone vibe.
The deadpan "This is my job" line absolutely killed!!!
I love the kingdom figure. My only gripe is that the purple on the selects looks way better than the kingdom
I use to be pro-Titans Return Galvatron, but once I got a hold of the Kingdom one, I have never turned back.
I still use mine as the ship mode, just so i don't have to hurt my brain with mass shifting Cyclonus
@@ShadowRose224 Reasonable!
Fantastic video as usual! I used some alcohol on mine to clean the blueberry slurpee he spilled on himself up, then painted his chin beard and added some red on his belt buckle and he's looking fine. But! not as fine as my GenSelects one that I painted the crown horns grey and the eyes yellow for an awesome Target: 2006 Marvel comics Galvatron. Which is nice because Marvel Galvatron is Best Galvatron. I'm super happy with them both.
Toy colors with no stickers is the perfect Galvatron for hitchin' an involuntary ride on Ultra Magnus.
I adore this figure's proportions. He's so incredibly imposing and confident with that broad stocky frame and stern headsculpt. I daresay that he has a more imposing presence than Megatron.
He does...but that there's the absosmurfinlute point.
I'm not even the biggest Transformers fan but I always watch your reviews.
The zap at the end fucking got me
Thew’s gettin extra cute on us lately, I’m here for it
This review made me go out and get the toy accurate Galvatron also. So thank you for making canonically okay to own Galvatron and Galvatron 2 lol.
Great review, Thew!
Also, I think the only good thing TR Galvatron ever did was paving the way for GS Super Megs.
That turn towards the inspirational at the end there was the pick-me-up I didn’t know I needed today, gratze
This is the first main line Galvatron i have purchased since buying the G1 version. Maniaking has been my Galvatron for years, but this mold is so great. I even bought the gen selects one to display next to the G1 version.
Had G1 Galvatron as a kid... When you did the laser noise, crazy nostalgia flashback! Haven't heard that in 20+ years lol
Rock on!
Before kingdom I would say energon galvatron was probably the best representation. It didn’t have a flimsy transformation or a wonky head gimmick he did exchange the fusion cannon for a tank but he was big and looked like galvatron
This is kinda like your Hot Rod/Rodimus wish but I always kinda wanted a Megatron that could become Galvatron with Power Up Armor. Like the PotP Evolutions figures, the Unicron Trilogy Optimus Prime Super Modes, or the Godbomber/God Ginrai super mode. I know that's mainly a me thing but I think I would work better story wise so we don't have to hit the redo button every time.
wait that actually sounds sick some 3rd party company needs to get onto that cause hasbro or takara probably wont
Hasbro did have a concept art for a triple changing one that went Megs, Galv, Walter P38 with a laser scope.
@@silverfoil8854 and that is one of the concept that was never pull out even during G2 for a reason, the whole gimmick would make the toy a mechanical barbiedoll with less viable articolation than many of the original lineup
@@serPomiz...he turned in to a gun...thats the issue
@@silverfoil8854 that was before it was an issue, and it still would not be in most of the rest of the world
I'm glad that my first figure of Galvatron
was the TF Legacy rerelease of this one
I will never unsee the Danish flag in that red torso. Like he's backing Denmark in the Eurovision.
Gotdam! Now that's how you review my favorite bot mold thus far. There's just something about this purple beefcake. Absolute delight.
Honestly after this review I generally really do want that repainted grey Galvatron figure based on the original 1986 toy colours🤣🤟
Generation Galvatron with sticker is toy accurate but without sticker is comic accurate
As someone who loved titans return galvatron and excited for tge legacu version,the kingdom galavtron is such a amazing figures,in my opinion it feels like a titans return figure,i think the galvatron II should be in other toylines,that color scheme is so unique and creative not gonna lie
Hahaha, love the Galvatron transformation song. It will be in my head all day.
Hahahahaha, even better, I just saw your 'No Galvatron Two' song to be released. The masses will be devastated.
11:24 Galvatron: "a very satisfying whole"
-Thew Adams, 2022
Just a couple of Galvatrons being palvatrons
Excited for that full version of the Galvatron 2 song you're definitely gonna do!
Weird Gal Yankovich was a genius pun! This is why we love your videos, thew!
I don't mind the Matrix on a chain myself. He's got that bling.
The uni-trio are just utterly phenomenal on a shelf together
AWESOME REVIEW, I love your content it always makes me laugh. But I was wondering if you could get a ROTF Bayverse B-List, there are a lot of them but they’re all awesome I mean Ransack and Mindwipe! C’mon those are some iconic decepticon robos, Decept-Icons?
"Gaviscon double action"
"Gal-yankovic"
Bravo sir! 🤣🤣🤣
Ha, the best thing to come from titans return galvatron were his legs being a part of a much better Megatron figure 😂
By Power of the Primes I had me a full collection of extra limbs for the Starscream fig they released in that line, and just as a screw you to how they pulled off his torso mode I had Galvatronus steal his limbs (before that I was pretty happy keeping him in Cyclonus modes)
12:00 wow, that sound had a hard pavlovian effect. I forgot my brother had a G1 Galvatron.
And NOW I am genuinely considering a 4th galvatron for the clean deco. If I didn't love this guy I wouldn't budge, buuut he is really good. Also, I just say the "guns" are a splittable drone for an also-ran character to have their one cool scene dealing with them.
My local Walmart still has the Legacy release of this in bulk, with no other leader classes. Every time I go looking through, hoping to find something new, I find myself subconsciously singing "Galvatron, Galvatron, two. Galvatron, Galvatron, two..."
I love this figure so much I bought it FOUR TIMES. One with the bad shoulders, one with the right shoulders, the toyetic gray one, and the purple clean plastic variant. ...... How did it come to this?!
I'm only one step away from falling down the same hole you did: I'm still debating if I should fix the shoulders or just buy a better one... to go along with my bad shoulders one, gray one, and purple translucent one.
Probably am going to buy the Legacy one for the lack of battle damage and of course the correct shoulders. I am going to display them, they need to look right and the Kingdom version just looks off. Though it is not a huge issue.
Getting in all the ancellary Unicron content in before he exits stage I see. Great vid.
All this time later and I still find myself randomly singing “Galvatron, Galvatron II, Galvatron, Galvatron II…” to myself as I potter ‘round the house…
I like my Universe Galvatron, and it has pride of place on my Season 3 + Decepticon shelf. *Hate me for it, hurt me for it, and bugger off.*
You just make me smile, nothing more nothing less.......just plain bliss........you rock and roll Thew Adams
Oddly I only bought the clear purple one, and it's awesome!
Love the intro loved the review. You could release a Megatron review ounce every 10 years and I would still be waiting patiently for it lol and nice adding the g1 toy zaps in the review.
Woohoo! Got the shoutout, and on one of my favorite figures of recent times, too! I only have the purple one, as the toy colors do nothing for me, but still.
The gen selects Galvatron (not the reformatting one), is one of my favourite purchases last year, love it SO MUCH, and not doing the stickers either.
LOVE the use of the Galvatron gun toy sounds THEW! NICE!
Thew. I too got Universe Galvatron and Ironhide on the same day. I know this pain. You're not alone
I love how you called back to your first-ish Galvatron review (the Universe one)...twice!
Out-filthyword-STANDing! I've got the Cartoon Purple and the Toy Grey versions, and I might just have to get some ToyHax labels for both.
Best review in a while. Funny, not bogged down with alliteration, and brilliantly edited. Nice to have a good old fashioned vent session, like the old days :)
[Sorry, realized this doesn't seem to be your vid w/ Behold Galvatron but I didn't find another under your profile]
Sir, thanks for the content and the persona, it's been a blast catching you (I'm late to the game on your stream). I'll admit and take the smacks to the head that I never gave a $#!t about Galvatron but your Behold Galvatron overview is literally the first one since I saw the 80s movie (yes I'm as old as you) that I've ever been interested in getting. Was lucky recently and snagged one (new complete boxed set even! I would've been happy getting one used and only the figure itself) and I must say that I am very impressed. Yes this build is pretty cute w/ the way its parts work. And no sorry I'll never be interested in any previous ones. But thank for you the amazing words you plugged this model with and I am now a believer.
BTW love the shirt collection and the scruff, good looks, guy
Thank you for doing this at long last, Thew.
Edit: had Universe Galvatron been better engineered, upscaled to be Leader-class, it'd've been one of the best Galvatron figures of the 21st century. But, we can only dream, can we?
Ah Nimoy Frankatron, he likes to holiday in detroit, new york and the... UK.
Universe Galvatron... is like a holiday for one, where you never leave the house... and your legs are broken. Possibly Cathy Bates is there.
I just finally picked up the generations selects (couldn't pass it up at 50% off) and man I am so glad I did.
Fantastic video Thew, you nailed it!
Another amazing video you put a smile on my face after a hard day at work. Keep up the amazing work
That last message near the end about no full song got me laughing lol
It is worth noting: you can definitely make a gun mode by folding away the little stabilizer rods. You can also fold all that rear leg assembly up so he does a more traditional laid-out cannon.
Tbh Titans Return Galvatron is my first G1 Galvatron and I'm happy about it. Probably because it's a G1 Galvatron toy with a second alt mode that is a jet. I know, he flies he doesn't need a jet mode, but since most lines show Megatron now becoming a tank and not exactly flying at times in his robot mode, I think a triple changing Galvatron was a great idea
Damn, that shot at 13:08. I feel like I need ALL the Unicronians, or none of them.
Open & Play was a short lived company that only released 2 figures, one of which was Big Cannon, an up-scaled Titans Return Galvatron with re-tooled, more G1 sculpting, a proper head with no gimmicks, and no tacked-on 3rd mode. Somebody looking for another good Galvatron could do worse then if they stumbled across that guy for a good price. He feels a bit lightweight, and his hands seem a bit small for his size, but he's well made and looks cool.
Open & Play were weird. Their MP-ish Springer was an original mold with a fairly involved transformation, but for some reason they didn't include instructions with their figures. Which seems to be deliberately in keeping with their company name. And Big Cannon didn't even have a fairly plain box like their Springer, he literally came in a re-sealable clear plastic bag.
I love this review Thew!! I’m a huge fan of this iteration of big ol’ Gal. I even bought it with it’s mis assembled arms and frankly I like it!
The galvatron i got had been experimented on (someone tried to reverse the shoulder but instead just scratched it up like crazy). So i returned it and got that transparent purple one. It looks amazing.
Hey Thew! Been away from UA-cam for a couple weeks and so I thought the first video I would come back to is one of your reviews! You did not disappoint on this one! 😂
-"Monthly-
'When I've got time and good material' Megatron!"
Titans Return would've been pretty good if it wasn't for the head thing.
It did make a really good Super Megatron when they retooled him for that
Another terrific vid 😁
I like to tab the treads into the screw holes at the rear of his shoulders so nothing dangles. You lose bicep rotation but I don't mind 😊
Good job on the Galvatron retrospective you firing on all cylinders when describing Galvatron.
8:22 Okay, +1 for the Type O reference. R.I.P., Peter.
Damn I really want that *"Galvatron, Galvatron 2"* backing track, sounds badass and funkyu and a lot like TheFatRat's stuff.
Haven't checked any review for the G1 toy colour and from this video alone I learned that it has a sticker sheet.
0:36
Same as it ever was
Time isn't holding up
Time isn't after us
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was ...
Absolutely brilliant I might have to try and pick one of these up or one of the Gen Selects ones
You ready for this toy to come back as an obscure Comic character? I sure as heck am!
As most likely I won't be seeing Kingdom boxed Galvatron, I'm more then keeping my hopes up for Legacy boxed Galvatron.
Been sleeping on TFs for a while now, but really happy to see the toys are coming back again in a big way. May have to grab this one as the closest I have to any Galvatron in my collection is the non purple leader class Energon Megatron which took a lot of design cues from the original design. To think Hasbro could finally do this one justice in both modes despite the weird little weapons bits that come with him. Arm canon looks epic as it should be.
Not sure if my eyes are burning after a long day or the fact that your sub count is jumping. Keep up the great work.
You know it’s gonna be a great day when Thew uploads a new video
All hail Kingdom Galvatron! Galvatron!
So awesome that we got a Galvatron II with this great mold!
Got admit...my favourite toy from the Kingdom line....got pride of place in my display.
Great video Thew.
I carry water for Universe Galvatron still. It was the figure that got me into modern collecting and, while it's vastly outmatched by literally everything else in my collection, I've never been able to shake the idea that a huge-ass Israeli APC-Tank so massive it can't even be shipped overseas is the perfect earth mode for Galvatron. I mourn the fact Hasbro's gotten so slavish to G1 these days because it means we're bereft of crazy modernized designs anymore, and a new, larger, better executed take on Universe Galvatron would be, I think, a huge hit. Absolute killer.
I got a hold of the generation selects Galvatron also. Mine unfortunately didn't came with any stickers
I will always respect TR Galvatron more for prioritizing being a fun toy first, gimmicks and all.
I still kinda like it. I do, however, remember thinking on first seeing it, that Galvatron finally got over his Nubulan prejudice. Was a time he threatened to 'blast those creepy creatures right' out of his Headmaster minions.
I mean, I’d agree if the gimmicks actually WORKED, but the jet mode is shit and the headmaster integration with the mask is WEAK
