    I'd like to see this mold and engineering retooled into G1-ish Optimus and Megatron

    IDK how yoiu'd do that but a G1 looking Megatron retooled out of this would be dope (whether its a G1 looking or movieverse BBM G1 Megatron).

    YouTube (Old):
    I feel Galvatron could’ve definitely benefited from being a Leader price point, but at the same time I feel glad that I don’t have to pay Leader prices.

    I couldn’t care less about Thundercracker, but happy for those that want the BBM seek

    Galvatron looks much better than his og release. I still wish they made him a partsformer for every limb to pseudo simulate his KSI transformation.

    I would have to see Galvy before he would replace my AOE figure; on the fence with TC.

    something i just noticed might actually be a dealbreaker for me, its the cannon. obviously it looks dinky as hell but i am worried that it might be his actual hand. if thats the case then its a hard pass for me because holy hell why

    Hm. I'd be curious to see that.

    Honestly movie "Galvatron" looks more like it could make for a cool Scourge / Nemesis Prime / Black Convoy rather than a Galvatron. It's literally an attempt to recreate Optimus that kept looking Megatron-esque.

    It looks to have a tab on the front of the cannon, likely for storage, so I doubt its the actual hand.

    Found an AD Galvatron a few hours after the announcement for 12 bucks.

    I love the new Galvatron, but I’d like to get the old voyager to compare and contrast since there’s a big divide between which one is better.

    You know, I have to say, I've been less than impressed with the last few SS reveals/leaks. Sideways and Galvatron both look just OK to me. I get there's constraints with what you engineering can do with some of these designs, but they both seem phoned in compared to earlier figures in the line.

    Ah, oh well.

    I loved that Galvatron so much, but I customized it into a movie Motormaster

    but never got around to picking up another one.


    Even with this new one coming(who I will get), I’d really love to pick up another of the original mold.

    Basically, take the engineering and parts, smooth them out / get rid of the movieverse sculpts and detailing, shape them… etc. Keep the hinges and pivots.

    G1-ish. Heavy on the ish.

    I’d be curious to see.
    A lot of this engineering reminds me of ER Optimus.

    have the SS BB Blitzwing

    I think... the BB Tetrajet Seeker mold looks... bloated, passed on the SS BB Screamer and currently hoping for a Skywarp version for the slimming effect of a black color scheme
