    So out of two releases, we never get a purple Nemesis? That's exceptionally stupid and very Hasbro.

    He looks nice, but the use of stickers to get there isn't the best. While I prefer optional detail to no detail, their stickers are so flimsy you have to be so careful.

    Wow this Galvy is just wacky, I love it. The stickers are worrisome, but they seem to hold up on greasepit so there probably fine

    I haven't seen this mentioned in the thread, but I easily could have missed it: do we know if the shoulders are assembled correctly?

    Maybe we can petition Hasbro to change it to a darker face and yellow eyes like how they changed Earthrise Prime.

    There was a Nemesis version of Galvatron?

    Pretty sure they’re talking about the gun/ship that supposedly is supposed to act as the Nemesis alongside Haslab’s Unicron’s little diorama of micro figures.

    At the very least, the version they show in these stock photos has the shoulders correctly assembled.

    Thanks! That's what I think too, but I can't quite tell from the angle.

    Sorry for the crappy paint edit but basically without stickers he should look approximately like this.

    I can live with that. May end up getting two, one to apply stickers to and one without.

    Edit: Removed more stickers.

    People are referring to the railgun as Nemesis (the ship that attached the Ark) instead of the Revenge (Galvatron's ship).

    Edit: Based on the feet's texture and them being the only plastic that are the same color as the two Nemesis ships, it is possible they are painted and may be grey or purple underneath. Just a hunch.

    yeah, um, takaratomy probably has it figured out that, y'know, marvel colored galvatron a light blue instead of gray because colors available at the time were extremely limited, and so light blue just meant "light gray"

    which is why all the galvatron ii merchandise they've already done? it's just a light gray

    I don't think this figure molded in Energon colors would make as good of an Energon Megatron as the original Energon Megatron. That was one of the best figures to come out of the Unicron Trilogy.
