    So that does lead to the possibilty of toy Galvatron coming with a Creation Matrix that's compatible with Prime for extra comic bookiness.

    Well, after spending all that time in the Netflix series I can understand the look on his face.

    I see the shoulder peg, but I don't even see the front of his forearm, let alone a way to attach it. Is there a better pic I missed? Thanks :)

    Yeah. Knowing the circumstances the toy designers face in the dark Corporate reality we now inhabit, I can't help but be overwhelmed with how well they managed to do despite having to consider margins and other bean-counting gobbledygook. He's not an MP figure, and he is affordable for normies with children like me. And yet, he looks great.

    Yeah, I'm right there with you. I knew the Siege\Earthrise figures had aimed to look exactly like their show counterparts (or vice-versa?) so when I saw Galvatron in the Dead Universe arc, I feared we were getting a sporty-looking moron instead of the Galvatron we prayed to Primus for. It's amazing how the toys are the best thing to come out of the show, and they are excellent without the show being involved in any way at all.

    He had several different looks in S3. His look in "Call of the Primitives" is fantastic. "Carnage in C Minor" not so much.

    I got myself some toon shaped faction symbols from toyhax because my MP shockwaves sticker sheet had horrible color matching. I can 100% say them fuckers aint coming off. Toyhax has some of the toughest, stickiest stickers that I've ever seen available to the general public. If I'm using stickers for any reason, they are gonna be from toyhax

    No I saw one of the first pictures wrong. The picture with him on the table has his forearm rotated making the side mount facing forward, and his wrist turned normally, making it seem like there was a mount on the front.

    No doubt I completely agree. :)  I was looking for a answer bc I didn't/don't see it. My original post says.
    "I can't wait til someone gives him a, top/front forearm cannon. All I saw was the side cannon attachment. It was @IronEnder17 that replied "From pictures, we can see he has a side forearm mount, a front forearm mount, & a shoulder mount." ;)

    Galvatron I'm going to buy. I do think he needs hip skirts...That Rodimus on the other hand......yeeesh...easy pass....

    How hard is it to get a decent Rodimus?....When was the last good Rodimus put out?

    What wrong with this?...aside from his either too long chin or too short bottom of his helmet.

    Maybe his crown is too pointy or rounded and pointy?

    Important to keep in mind, the show is pretty much entirely secondary in terms of the procedure of their creation. The WFC Trilogy started as a Generations toyline first, and then they decided to make a show out of it. All of the toys looking like the show is because the show used the CAD models that the toy's molds are based on and tweaked them (slightly) for the show. Any characters that look different is because the animators didn't have a CAD model from Hasbro for that character at the time they were creating that season.

    The crown is awful, his face looks gormless and the overall character model looks nothing like Galvatron other than hes purple. Just looks god awful

    Agreed.

    Yeah I'm thinking the same thing you are. What's "gormless"?..Honest question.

    Looks like they chose a more successful mold option to accuracy. curvy spikes might be a nightmare to mold. Everything is straight lines, except for the dome itself which is pretty much "egg shape" once seen cannot be unseen imo.

    It's not a bad head sculpt but shouldn't stare at it for too long...

    Well let us start with that alt mode..He's gotten himself an extra set of wheels and the centers aren't even painted on all 10 of them.

    Then that face sculpt is a bit too hard.....it to me is like the complete opposite of SS86 Kup.

    More to come...
