I mean in 2004 that was the 20th anniversary of the Transformers anyway And seeing this in those awesome G1 Galvatron collars just blew us away and this guy flew off the ships Now unfortunately my original Energon Galvatron was sold off during my Transformers purge of 2011 Where pretty much 80% of my collection was gone But thanks to going to shardacon in 2013 my interest peaked and now I've got what I've got today Now this figure here is one of the ones I really regretted selling because this is a fantastic toy And I was determined to find one again and with all the new interest in Galvatron. Thanks to kingdom I started looking and found this guy on ebay Uh, he was available for a make and offer price. I made one the seller accepted and What was really amazing was the seller was from utah I bought this on a monday and he was in my possession by wednesday So a huge shout out to ebayer dle w Man, thank you so much. This is a great figure and I highly recommend you guys check him out He's got some great deals on some other Transformer figures And we'll put a link to his ebay store in the description of this video So now without further ado, let's take a look at this long-awaited reuniting of Energon Galvatron and welcome to patriot prime reviews In vehicle mode Galvatron is this gigantic Cybertronian warship with a tank on his back and man, this thing is impressive I love the looks of this vehicle But first things first, let's take a look at this tank, which is an extra accessory that attaches via these pegs You got four pegs on top of Galvatron and four holes right here on the tank So let's move the ship out of the way and take a closer look at the tank drone Galvatron's tank drone is a pretty neat little accessory. It has great molded detail throughout the vehicle. It looks great Unfortunately, there is no rotation with the turret whatsoever, but it does have wheels There's some modern Transformer figures that don't even have wheels anymore paint applications He's got some purple paint here on this side and translucent plastic here on this side and This little targeting system Rectical or whatever that can flip up. So that's pretty cool. Now this little tank drone Is an homage to armada Megatron if you take a look right here the similarities are spot on you've got the little Decepticon logo right there same as here. You've got the molded in doors just like armada galvatron I mean it's pretty cool And the reason they've done this is the galvatron figure and the megatron figure before him was the upgraded version of armada megatron The tank drone also features a pretty cool gimmick. You hit this little trigger right here And he launches a missile Yes, and has some quite annoying loud sound effects. So this button right here push that back Lights and sounds And what's funny is he launches a missile. I mean this is a cannon and he's opening fire. He fires off a big shell And those are machine gun sound effects, but still pretty cool little accessory for galvatron Now let's take a look at galvatron himself As I said earlier galvatron's warship mode is very impressive This thing reminds me of a Klingon bird of prey and I love it. It is big It's got a nice wingspan Lots of great molded detail and paint applications throughout This is a beautiful figure starting off right here. We've got translucent cockpit We've got some molded in weapons Big translucent orange cannons here on the side More molded detail up here up top along with some red paint translucent details here and here And underneath the wings Check out the detail here on top. Lots of nice circuitry detail and the paint just looks fantastic I love the decepticons logos right here. They're actually molded in And painted of course turned the vehicle around Ah, you got nice intakes or outtakes Jet engines, my gosh Tongue tied and look at the paint applications in those. This thing looks awesome. Now you turn him around You do see a little bit of folded up robot But still this thing just looks awesome And it has a gimmick. You actually pull these little translucent orange pieces out and the wings unfold To like a combat mode or attack mode if you will And that looks wild. Of course, you can fold them back down and attach Galvatron's tank drone And then he can open fire with the tank And you get to hear those awesome sound effects once again Galvatron's vehicle mode also has Landing gear which you don't see often on many modern figures as well landing gear folds up there in the front and here on the back And there you go. I don't have enough good things to say about galvatron's worship mode. This thing just looks Amazing and I love it Now that we're done showing off the worship mode. Let's go ahead and get galvatron transformed into robot mode If you've not done already go ahead and fold the landing gear back in And now what you're going to do is fold these wings up And then rotate this whole back section A 180 so it looks like that now Go underneath the figure And just bring these legs down. There's a little bit of auto transforming gimmick as the legs are coming down You'll slide the landing gear forward, which will extend the feet And pop the knee out So there is one leg same thing over here Extend this the feet pop out the knees pop out and now you can stand the figure up Now you're going to grab these shoulders and just pull the arms down Take the nose cone section here. You're going to flip this back. This will fold along his back. It's got a double hinge Bring the wings up You've got galvatron's head right here Fold that back and flip the horns up And there you have galvatron in robot mode Now as you can see galvatron is a pretty big figure I cannot get him all in frame Mainly because of his weapons that are up over his shoulder, but you can actually rotate these forward like so So there you go. You can also take the wings fold those back slightly not that far But right about there Which gives him a pretty decent look. I actually like to have mine With the cannons at a slight angle like so Galvatron in robot mode looks amazing once again Fantastic sculpting great paint applications Look at the face sculpt. This guy is awesome looking and I just can't get over The paint applications the red eyes the purple decepticon logo the red abs here the orange the purple the reds It just works this guy is awesome Now as far as articulation is concerned the head is on a swivel It can do a complete 360 The arms can rotate as well On a nice ratchet now. They can't do a 360 because of the wings on his back There is an elbow bend forward and backwards I'm not sure why he has a backwards elbow bend, but once again great ratchet No wrist rotation, but there is a forearm rotation though. It is Very tight The legs can go up They can go back and of course they bend that way for transformation No regular knee bend and no ankle tilt But still a great figure for one that came out in 2004 To utilize the tank drone with galvatron take the tank and flip these little panels out Right here underneath get your thumbnail in So you've got these two panels that flip out They've got little tabs That will enable you to clip this to galvatron's arm Like so so now he's wielding the tank As a fusion cannon and of course you can launch the rocket And utilize those sound effects as well But if you look it makes him a little lopsided Now another cool thing that galvatron has if you take the tank Off his arm shush And here on his back you see this little section right here Plug the tank in Man, that's noisy. So you got the tank plugged in you're gonna depress this button right here And you can pull out a sword Now Get the little tabs back out You can clip the tank on galvatron in reverse They didn't pop back in so easy So now galvatron is wielding A sword and it's got a neat effect too when it hits something It lights up and makes That sound But it only works that way if you hit it this way nothing happens both he chops downward There you go. So that is really cool Now I do wish that the sword accessory if you didn't plug it into the tank At least had a peg to fit in galvatron's fists Both fists have a five millimeter hole But neither the sword or any of his other weapons will fit in his fist So one big let down there and the fact he is so wobbly now on his right side And now for some quick size comparisons here is transformers enter john galvatron with generation one galvatron Armada megatron And titans return galvatron 2004's transformers enter john galvatron is a great figure this guy is a ton of fun He's got a great vehicle mode a great robot mode Pretty cool accessories with the tank that can launch missiles and the sound effects and the sword This guy is just awesome. Plus you can't go wrong with those generation one campaign applications Now one thing I did notice during my comparisons is galvatron also has five millimeter ports here on the wing So if you have a battle master in vehicle mode, you can attach some battle masters to galvatron to really beef him up So there you go guys 2004's transformers enter john galvatron So does a 2004 transformers enter john galvatron belong in your collection Absolutely. This is a fantastic figure. I absolutely love this guy so much better than the megatron mold He was actually repainted from because face it this mold is Galvatron and hasbro nailed it with this collar scheme He's got a great vehicle mode great robot mode firing missiles a hidden sword And not to mention all those generation one throwbacks I am so happy to have this guy back in my collection I was just ecstatic to open that box again And yeah, if you see this guy, don't hesitate pick him up. You are not going to be disappointed Just be mindful of the missile and sword that he's supposed to come with Now guys, if you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like don't forget to subscribe and don't forget to click that bell icon To get notified when I upload new reviews Also a couple of shout outs Deluxe Baldwin is now a channel member here on youtube and my newest patreon Sean guys, thank you so much And once again, this is patreon signing out
