While certainly not my favourite design. I will always have a certain respect for any transforming AoE Galvatron figures based on the fact they had to engineer a transformation that even the movie couldn’t be arsed to come up with.
Kre-O should have had an AOE toyline, especially for the Decepticons. 🤣
@@DredgeX97 lol
Yup.
No le entiendo
Ignoring the fact it's Galvatron you've at least got to admit in terms of origin and design it's pretty unique
I know it’s physically janky looking but it’s legitimately shocking to see galvatron of all figures have zero major kibble and some of the articulation seen in a mainline transformer to date
Ikr!! They definitely did a good job
true, bad first impression for me, but still the best official toy so far yet
"Zero Major Kibble"
*The Truckbed ???*
@@EvexiansVideoworks probably meant in robot mode
@@andreyofdoom Oh. That makes Sense.
Respect is given when it's deserved.
Hasbro nailed it so well.
This Galvatron actually has less visible kibbles than his 2014 toy.
Either that, or it’s just more spread out.
You seen the back man?
@@crackineggs9510 yeah. They make good use of it. Not just a plain kibble shell of canopy.
@@UnknownSeekerProductions in good way. Keep in mind that this is Hasbro & Galvatron's in-show transformation was particle effect (which is 100% CGI).
@@duyphan4617 yeah. I do slightly prefer the original’s proportions minus the weird knees, but the colors of the new SS would definitely work better.
Galvatron's metallic mustache looks like he's going to tell me about Ninjago lore
Hahaha yes Looool!
I think it would have been pretty easy for them to have the toes fold down flat to form the trailer hitch but a plate-former is better than a shell-former any day.
I think you can actually do that truck mode because it looks like it.
Yeah just one more hinch to sit them flat and wold be just done
Given the enormous amount of waffling on this figure, it really comes across to me that they ran out of budget due to the high piece count. While it would have been easy from a technical perspective, it seems they werent able to fit it in from a "we're making a toy for a set price point" perspective.
whats a plate-former?
@@SagaDraws a plate former is a transformer in which one of the modes is made out of a bunch of Shifting plates that form into the other mode instead of a shell. In other words the shell of one mode becomes the other mode. An example is the studio cell Unicron is a plate former because the shell of the planet mode shifts and becomes the parts of the robot mode creating a very clean robot but Hasbro Unicron is a plate former because the shell of the planet just kind of breaks apart and sticks onto the robot as kibble and you could actually remove the shell and turn it into a separate mode resulting in a very ugly clunky robot
See, to me they should have made him a leader class, and filled out some of the gaps on the figure, and given him larger arms and a bigger cannon, but considering what they had to work with in the voyager class budget I'm very impressed
Megatron
It would’ve been cool, but I don’t think I and most people would agree with a leader price for that scale of a character. Bottom line, hes not big enough compared to what most people believe defines a leader.
Imagine we had a gimmick where you get like a little controller and it has the options to pull apart into millions of pieces and have Galvatron either in Robot or Vehicle mode.
Haha loool that would be nuts and his pieces would sell for hundreds on eBay haha
@@PrimeVsPrime well you’re not wrong 😂
???💀
@@Alan_De_Santa not possible but hopefully something very interesting for the future
Like Lego?
I understand that the vehicle had to be sacrificed to make the robot mode and I think it was a good decision by Hasbro, the real star here is the robot mode, great review btw! 🔥
Feels like this transformation scheme would work just as well for some SS AOE/TLK Prime figures. Legs are similarity proportioned, Prime’s kibbleless body needs that inside out truck gimmick, and both have rounded out shoulder armor. Would also be great if the truck bed could be cleaned up some more.
I agree the truck bed is messy
would AOE Optimus be different from TLk??
@@donkeykong6426 AOE Prime would have the initial forearm design with the mechanical details and TLK Prime would have the knight armor on his forearms and likely be advertised as Nemesis Prime with purple eyes. He also had a lot of different accessories so both figures could have a different set of weapons.
For example, AOE Prime could come with his larger gun and wrist swords while TLK Prime could gun with the Sword of Judgement, his gun shield, and the small wrist blade used against Bumblebee.
Hell you could probably get three figures out of it. AOE Prime with his larger gun and energon wrist sword, Knight Prime with the new forearms, sword, shield, and maybe some battle damage, and then Nemesis Prime with the red mark, purple eyes, smaller gun, and wrist blade. All three variants with every accessory from the films.
@@kobeskreations6932 tlk prime could have the purple eye head as a extra part in the box
@@donkeykong6426 If we’re doing a one figure idea, then what I would do is bump it up to the leader price point and go all out. All three looks across AOE and TLK in one figure. Extra engineering to perfect the figure, alternate Nemesis Prime head, sword, shield, little gun, big gun, wrist blade, energon wrist swords, and alternate forearms that can be swapped out.
"You have no kibble!"
"that is why my sales will be HIGH!"
Hahaha TRUE!
I don't think the cannon size is really all that far off from the CG model, if you rewatch the chase scene with the Autobots where he uses it. The original Voyager's cannon was actually pretty oversized compared to the final design
I blame the spring-loaded missile gimmick on that one.
Yes! This is what I’ve been waiting for! He looks so damn good holy crap! Phenomenal review as always mate!
Thanks so much!
@@PrimeVsPrime No problem! :D
Underrated design! So glad that handgun is removable. The promo art for some reason made it look like it was his molded hand. He's really good considering he's a Voyager!
I think he looks best when just default standing there MENACINGLY. His skinny arms and square torso start to look a bit off in dynamic poses. Dat headsculpt/paint tho. And they deserve major props for that transformation!
I agree! Definitely a very nice looking figure for the mainline
He should've been a leader with more parts to beef up his arms and round out his chest. Could've even have been a heavy retool of the DOTM leader with how the truck like panel-forms up into his legs and torso. I think it could've worked.
"K.S.I. makes the snappy name of Galvatron but that was just Megatron reincarnated".
0:36 THIS!!!! This gives me hope they will make AOE Prime perfect! The fact a voyager AOE Figure like Galvatron has 0 KIBBLE in the back shows how much time and effort the designer took with this one!
Im surprised a third party hasnt made the 'transforming cube effects' for the figures. It would be cool to have a pose with some of the particles attached to the figure somehow
Just bought this. Simply blown away by the engineering.
Just got this lad for Christmas and also my first computer it was a great Christmas
I’m glad we got Galavtron but I still would love to see the rest of the Dinobots from AOE as well!
Ive been waiting for this!
Okay, when you said: "This is where he HAS NO SOUL-.." I honestly thought you were going to continue it with: "and I think this also has no fear too."
Hopefully with galvatron being released that means a new age of extinction optimus prime is coming
I wonder if hasbro will just re-release tlk Voyager optimus prime
Hopefully!
@@aidansalas8389 I doubt it
Aidan Salas that design deserves at least one official toy that doesn’t suck.
@@Night5225
You say that like TLK Voyager Optimus Prime does suck.
It was one of the few figures from the AoE/TLK toyline that was actually good. Same goes for Megatron.
I hope both of them get a Studio Series figure though.
When SS AOE Galvatron was first revealed, it looked a little weird at first but as more pictures of him come in, he looks better. Hopefully we can get an upgrade kit especially a slighter larger hand cannon that is more detailed. Hopefully he will get retooled into the Robotnik’s truck from the first Sonic movie for the Transformers Collaborative line if Hasbro can because Paramount reused him and blacked him out with red lights and a trailer.
The good thing from about the SS version is that he is more cleaner especially back. I still have the original Hasbro version but I wouldn’t mind picking the new one up but the TLK Voyager OP mold is a little bit too big. Hopefully we can get SS TLK Megs down the line since the SS line has almost done all Megatron’s from the original movies including Galvatron which he still technically was.
First we need a aoe/tlk Optimus (and in my personal preference a better movie 1-3 Optimus,
cuz i dont like that what we have atm with SS05, SS32, SS44 the mold is not the best and its overpriced anyway.
And in Truckmode the mold REALLY sucks.
I wish more like a downsize mpm04.. but what we get now? a SS05 repaint in the premium finish line, paint is good but mold sucks more than SS 32/44
i dont unterstand this choice but this is another topic.
Really agree with you SS TLK Megs would be awesome, the first toy from TLK was really good as voyager class.
loads better than that horror of a figure we got for the AoE line...
i'm just not sure about the transformation... the engineering is excellent but i just don't think it's a lot of fun to transform...
also, perhaps do an update video comparing his robot mode with the 2014 AoE version so we can really appreciate how much better this version is 👍🏻
well done as always bro 👍🏻😀
Thanks so much Chefatron! Transformation can definitely be a bit fiddly but overall I dont think too bad. I did compare him to the 2014 version around the middle of the video :) I hope this helps
@@PrimeVsPrime yeah I just saw it man, my bad ':-)
Holy sheet! He is here, no doubt this scales with AOE/TLK prime perfectly, the possibility is the main appeal to me, i love they design this figure! Also amazing review mate!
Love it. Buying it. Displaying it. Smiling. :)
I just picked up this figure and I am really impressed with the engineering. I do wish that they could've made the feet maybe a little smaller so they could tuck away a little better but besides that, I think this figure is awesome! So happy I copped the last one 😁
They've done well considering the logistical nightmare that was the design. Are his proportions janky? Absolutely. Could they have done better without turning it into a third party-level of complexity? Probably not.
However the arm cannon is a bit of a let down, it looks too small and has I can't manage to suspend my disbelief regarding how incomplete the mold is. The OG figure had a better arm cannon
Was just thinking of buying this when this vid showed up... nice
You know what could make this figure even better? A silver dry brush to bring out ALL the details, it can make this guy look SO good
INSTANTLY AMAZED!!! I AM DEFFENETLY BUTING THIS IN NOVEMBER
It's always fun whenever a Transformer with 2 wildly different modes makes you question "HOW THE F?" at first glance. SS Sentinel Prime was one of those for me, and while this Galvatron IMO doesn't come anywhere close to that level, it does a pretty decent job, all things considered. He's got flaws, but I'm sure some 3rd party will probably sell an upgrade kit down the line. I'll definitely pick him up if I can find it.
Yep
I was finally able to get one of these off amazon. I love this figure. Transformation is so fun and both modes are great (despite some drawbacks). It's really incredible that they were able to make an even halfway decent figure from this crazy-ass design. It gives me hope that they will treat Knight Optimus right and not have him be a kibblefest like the TLK voyager. BTW, to close the gap in the top of the truck better, you should rotate the head around for alt mode. It'll come together a bit more cleanly!
I can already see DNA Design doing an upgrade kit for this Galvatron.
Can’t wait to get this figure later this year!
His chest so square. That truck mode tho 😯
Just got this and from the instruction booklet, you can store the missile launcher in his chest in robot mode and under the cabin in truck mode. Pretty neat!
Not gonna lie, I'm impressed with him enough that I'll be picking him up when he's released. He's definitely better than the AOE Voyager class. But he's not perfect. Like other people have said, he should've been a Leader Class. But with the budget they had and what they had to work with, he's good enough for me.
It definitely looks better in hand than it did in those promo pictures. I do wish it had a consistent silver paint/plastic, but I could understand budget constraints.
Can't wait for my local target and Walmart to have this in stock... next year... Maybe two
I um…haven’t been watching for a while, been preoccupied with other things, luckily I got a job, so I’ll be able to start getting more figures again, and I’ll use your videos to help decide if I buy them or not!
this figure looks amazing and I cannot wait to get it!
I spent over 2 hours trying to figure this out for my son 🙄😂 thanks heaps
What a great review prime and figure aswell but one question I have is who is #86 in the live action ss line?
Seeing those legs transformation with the tires make me want to see hasbro making a show accurate Animated Optimus Prime.
I really hope this is a sneak peek at the type of engineering they're planning for AoE/TLK Optimus
I think this is a really fair and honest review of this figure. I'm sick of people going "it sucks!" and not really taking into consideration what they have to accomplish for $30. You don't have to love it but damn, show some respect for what they had to do.
I am not a huge Bayformer fan and I can’t afford the MP designs but this guy is pretty cool! I have grown to really like his truck mode. He looks bad-ass.
I'm disappointed that the clavicles aren't painted as they were shown on the render images, neither does the cannon. But he still looks great. Very impressive figure.
Seriously I bought my son this toy and he was absolutely excited
Hollow arms? I smell upgrade kit in the future
And can I just say OMG that transformation is amazing
Galvatron and thundercracker are available to purchase and I'm torn on who to get, they both look so damn good.
He looks good. Better then that last one.
I still don't like this design for Galvatron, but still props to Hasbro. I have all the movie Megs so this guy will fit nicely.
The gun he comes with is way to small. Hopefully DNA gives this guy a much needed upgrade.
I agree! Definitely a marked improvement. Hoping to see a new gun soon!
OOOOOOOR, maybe someone like Unique Toys is gonna make an oversized version
I have this one and the 2014 and I’m actually a fan of the Studio Series because even though it’s smaller and has his legs sticking g out in the back. I think it’s pretty cool because it’s been 8 years and they have really improved so I like the SS more than the original
i HATED this figures look for a while but after seeing some images in a MUCH less lit up room and chefatrons review i actually really really want this figure now
Seeing this guy on Thew's 2023 top 10 convinced me to finally grab him off Amazon today. That and I still needed a Trashmaster in the collection. Never had the original or really any of the AOE toyline. As a voyager other than the chunky chest he looks amazing with the paint, killer head sculpt, and improved articulation. Excited to get him, but considering scale and last years ROTB Scourge, this would would succeed much better as a Leader class figure as an updated Prime would. Next to previous movie SS Megatron figures he's simply to short and stubby to pair up with any one other than an already outdated Prime. Original truck mode definitely looks cleaner but for a shell former it's expected.
I'm so happy Hasbro is getting good at managing kibble nowadays
Big backpacks are becoming a thing of the past
We've been in a Transformers figure golden age since about 2017
I think a neat way to “fix” the feet on the trailer hitch would be by some 3rd party making a trailer for this guy that splits into armour that increases his accuracy and bulks him up to the same size as megatron
I'll definitely be picking this up as aoe is my guilty pleasure
really awesome figure and perfect review 🔥✨
As of writing this, he’s available on Hasbro Pulse again… i didnt get him initially cause he was still lackluster imo, but now I think this might be the best we get for awhile. What do yall recommend?
I went to bali and got that galvatron and the new hot rod but now I am back from my holiday
It would be cool to see a galvatron toy that you had take apart and put back together in order to transform it
This is great all he needs now is the rest of the is drones and this would look epic
Also this guy may capture the seed
In the movie he doesn't transform he melts. Good review 👍
I think all he needs is big guns. I’ll find a way to hook them onto the feet in truck mode hollow space always allows for some kind of fudge tab
When I transform my copy the cab of the truck is aiming upwards abit and the plate next to the front rims aren't flat is there a fix?
Hey Prime did you hear about the 15th anniversary studio series Mega pack with optimus , jazz , bumblebee, ratchet and ironhide
I want to pick this up soooo bad. I love Galvatron so much especially the unicorn led variety ,but this is awesome. I just gotta wait on the price a tiny bit dadgum!
Pretty cool as I expected not too bad
Definitely to get this guy
Only remaining KSI bot to be SS was Junkheap & Twohead
I'd like to see an upgrade kit that redesigns the feet to resemble the function of bumblebee Optimus, replaces the weapon, and fills the holes.
I'd also buy a trailer/ko that went into robotnik's truck.
I hope they can include a upgrade kit for both his robot much (such as the arms and the chest) and his vehicle mode (the toes) along giving him a new blaster
The reason Studio Series Galvatron's blaster is smaller because in the Age of Extinction Movie. Galvatron's cannon wasn't making his arm longer than the other arm. People need to understand that to see why the newer one uses a smaller blaster.
I have a feeling someone will make a custom ROTB Optimus Primal figure out of this, mainly by the chest
It’s easy to tell that SS Galvatron’s design was inspired by unique toys Nero.
Awesome figure
Just got galvatron and I love him ,just wish the truck bed didn't look like hell
Frank welker: "I am Megatron!" "I am Galvatron!"
Wow so Cool figure galvatron :D👍👍👍👍👍
is it possible to have a review of the movie the best tlk megatron? I wa thinking to get this gavatron and the mtb to have all voyager megatrons from the movies but I´m not sure
Ok quick question regarding SS, so as we know they have made some earthrise/kingdom figures that fit in with the 86 series(like cyclonus and springer) but seeing as we have a ultra magnus from earth rise. Do you guys thing that they will make a new ultra magnus for SS 86?
I think they might retool it like SS86 Arcee
They should redesign and remold the combiner wars ultra magnus because that figure is pretty good
This figure really should’ve been a leader class imo but I’m glad that SS has AOE Galvatron.
I think it's kind of silly that on the underside of the vehicle you can see that there's a big gap that the feet could have folded into. They should've done that and then had the weapon store on the actual trailer like it usually does.
yes, i can't buy this figure as it will drive me mad seeing that ugly lump of kibble right next to a space it could so easily have folded into.
Someone should definitely make a trailer for him but not just a plain trailer that turns into some sort of gun or something but a trailer that can actually combined with and incorporate the robot mode just for fun
So happy it’s not a leader. We all realistically know that if he was a leader he’d only be slightly better and be almost double the price
You know I just had a thought....how did Megs (Galvatron) get a new spark?
There might be an upgrade kit for galvatron for his arm blade and some areas for him
robot mode is definitely an upgrade, if Mechanical Alliance can do to this Galvatron what they did with the Constructicons then that would probably go great in scale with the rest of Studio Series
I just picked up this figure I was really impressed with it but I transformed it and the put the rone part in for the side and now he won't transform but I'm happy with the robot mode to just display and pose
If the original was painted better, then I’d say I would easily prefer that one over the new SS. And I’m pretty sure there’s a way to remove the back kibble. I don’t really care if it’s a shellformer. I think it’s proportions (except for the awkward knees) fit it better than the new SS. But still, neither look too good at all.
Edit: but even then, I would still prefer Unique Toys Nero. I know it’s more of an MPM Galvatron, but even for a third party company, they did miles better than what Hasbro is willing to make.
Well yeah of course Nero is better. You'd hope it would be for nearly 300 dollars.
Ok, this fig is actually impressive to me now. Theyve done a really good job in hiding all the truck parts and giving him decent articulation and proportions
i love this like i love you primevsprime
i love it so much
When I first saw Galvatron transform in theaters I was like how are they gonna make the toy transform?
Imo I think he actually looks a lot better than some of those early photos. I was very on the fence when I saw those pictures but I’m glad I preordered it anyways.
Edit: I would love to see the upgrade kit dna will do with one
do you think it would be possible if you could start including pre order/order links in your bio for future videos it would help alot
When will galvatron figure come to stores ?
Now I'm just waiting for the
Leader Class SS: ROTF The Fallen
Core Class SS: DOTM Lazerbeak
Deluxe Class SS: AOE Crosshairs
& Deluxe Class SS: TLK Hot Rod
But I still need too get these figures
Deluxe Class SS: DOTM Bumblebee & ROTF Sideways
Voyager Class: TFBB Thundercracker & AOE Galvatron as well.. Same with Premium finished figures too and getting Deluxe class Deluxe class SS: Deluxe TFBB Ironhide & Arcee.
Really like the toy, if they made it with a leader class budget it would have been even better, but still in voyager they did a great job, can't wait to see a SS AoE/TLK Optimus, a SS TLK Megatron and the SS RotF Fallen.
They saw unique toys and said: let's take that concept, making it smaller and mor marketable
