love the sneaky way they got his starship in

 

As long as this guy can pull off this pose, I’m good.

 

Yes, virtually every version has in the Marvel comics:

When the UK version timejumped back to '84 to build a weapon to destroy Unicron in the future, he brought Scourge and Cyclonus with him; their advanced powers proved too great for any Transformer in 1984, but after being tricked when Galvatron killed Skywarp (repainted as Starscream) in rage, Galvatron thought that he was in an alternate past and nothing he did would alter his future (as there now couldn't be a Starscream to throw him out to drift into Unicron), so they left. Cyclonus and Scourge had some other adventures and time travelling adventures as well, including participating in the Time Wars.

When the alternate future in 2009 where Galvatron killed Rodimus Prime, Unicron devoured Cybertron, and Galvatron was lord of Earth (only 7 Autobots survived to this point), he had Scourge and Cyclonus as his top officers for the entire ordeal, though he killed Cyclonus for incompetence and Scourge was gunned down in a surprise ambush as part of the Autobots last stand/attack. That Galvatron just about to smash the last of the resistance when he was abducted by Hook, Line, and Sinker, agents of the (mainstream) 1986 Unicron to soften up his Cybertron for conquest, enraging Galvatron and setting him on the path to unite Cybertronians, awaken Primus, and destroy Unicron for snatching him from his universe and being a terrible boss.

 

@Phamduc Can Galvatron position his fusion cannon on the front of his arm, like on the bicep?

 

Does he have wrist swivels at least....

 

yes

cannon can be peg on bicep and also forearm

yes

the transformation is intuitive. Most favorite thing is this guy has too much value for a leader , akin to such as Fanstoys Sovereign , but pull it off more elegant in term of design and transformation.
I also like how they incorporate most part to transform exactly like one of those official concept art ( head and neck collar shrunk into cannon body , faux robot collar is on cannon body , tread hinge down the arm , etc.

 

Oh, awesome.  

 

Awesome, that's really good to hear. Sounds like an all around fantastic Transformer.

 

Oh yes, I remember that but I consider that speech referring to “cosmic entities”...on par with Primus - not as as regular transformer being or holding the title of “Prime”.

 

Well, Prime Nova, Sentinel Prime, and Optimus Prime don’t sound like cosmic entities.

 

Thanks for confirming all of this! One more question from me please! Would you say that Kingdom Galvatron is the same size as Titans Returns Galvatron?

 

He's going to be roughly around the same height as Siege/Kingdom Ultra Magnus, maybe a hair or two shorter.

 

I don't think so

 

Dammit, just give us the damn Masterpiece Takara...  

I guess this will be the first "mini Masterpiece" that gets reversed into a regular Masterpiece eventually.
Sadly I have a good (bad?) feeling that will probably be 2023... no better way to celebrate 20 years of Masterpiece
than finally completing the four leaders, right?  

I was thinking more about this today: I will be right pissed if they release a "Studio Series 86" version of Galvatron with
better paint and no weathering after they make us all buy this crap version. I mean, what the hell is that shit on his lower shins even
supposed to be?? Was he walking blindfolded around the deck of his ship scraping up his legs? Kicking particularly dirty cyber-dogs? UGH.

 

So it sounds like he's about the same height as the Titans Return one.

Took a few comparison pics for reference. Sorry about bad lighting.

@Phamduc can you confirm?

 

Boy I woke up to a dumpster fire. Glad it calmed down tho. Love people adamantely correcting and arguing with phamduc, even quoting what he says in their correction knowing that he has the figure in hand.

@Phamduc how big are the pin holes? Flat head pins or the tiny 1mm ones that are more common?

 

Why is he holding spaceships?

 

Flat head

 

Gotcha thank you. I might avoid flipping how arms around as I'm happy with them just the way they are
