    I don't want him to be a variant of any kind, that's the whole purpose of trying to give him a new name. I want him to be his own separate character. I don’t like name reuses. I'm going to have him be the leader of my Diaclone Decepticons.

    There were several Galvatrons in the Marvel UK and Marvel US comics before Rhythms of Darkness where Galvatron II made his debut. The Marvel UK comics being prominent to me, I cannot in good faith call Rhythms of Darkness Galvatron "II" as he is far from the second Galvatron.

    Honestly there's nothing wrong with two characters having the same name; I mean, in comic fiction there really are just two Galvatrons running around (heck Japanese G1 continuity there's two Galvatrons now, too, and he's colloquially known as 'City Commander Galvatron' to distinguish him from the 'regular' Galvatron-- and it helps that he's also based off the toy version). Particularly most people accept that there's two different Megatrons running around (heck the Netflix show makes a crack about this and 'G1' Megatron refuses to call Beast Megatron that name).

    But if you're serious about it, call him Gigatron. It's only fair, after all.

    Then he would have two Gigatrons running around.

    Maybe, but I generally don't do that. Aside from the Beast Wars show cast, I rename all my other toys that reuse old names when they're not that character. For example, Cybertron Metroplex is a no for me and I don't really like Megalo Convoy so I named him Geodus Maximus since he's a digging machine and geodes are related to rocks and crystals. Energon Ironhide/Roadbuster is Offroader.

    In keeping with the naming convention of the hall of heroes, call him Barbaron. Considering he was a barbarian warrior.

    Might not be the most imaginative name, but since you are pairing him with Diaclone Decepticons, how about Dia-Tron?

    At first, I had no interest in this, but a friend of mine picked it up and is repurposing it as a SG Galvatron and since my SG Cons are lacking right now, he convinced me to pick one up now.

    Doubt I'll get him, but if I do the stickers are definitely going on. That's what my old toy looked like and matching that would pretty much be the only reason to get this guy for me.

    Which color did you use? Is it as good a match as it looks like in the photo?
