Now Galvatron has a very long history in the Transformers universe So I'm just going to give you the abridged version for this review because we're here mainly for the toy Now this toy hit the shelves just in time for his appearance in Transformers the movie where it's shown that he is the more powerful reformatted form of Megatron At the end of the movie after a fierce battle inside the bowels of Unicron Galvatron is defeated by Rodimus Prime as he's thrown through space and lands right on the small screen To take over leadership of the Decepticons in season three and four of the Transformers animated series Well, all I can say is Galvatron made his first appearance in Marvel Comics in issue number one of the Transformers the movie comics adaptation He became a series regular in issue number 67 and lasted all the way until issue number 79 where he was defeated by Fortress Maximus Who was conveniently his size in the comics Fortress Maximus was the size of all the regular Transformers so that's pretty much it for the US history of Galvatron now in the Japanese continuity and in the UK Galvatron was a major player and is in some of the best UK stories, especially Time Wars so now without further ado, let's take a look at the mighty Galvatron and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews We'll start things off by taking a look at Galvatron's space cannon alt mode and this mode is a little weird this is a Space cannon without a doubt. It's got a really weird clear orange translucent barrel with Glitter finish or as we here in West Virginia call it the bass boat finish So he's got that going on for him. He's got chrome right here around the barrel and Lots of great sticker decals all over. Of course mine are toy hacks reproductions Now the space cannon mode does have some wheels here underneath on the treads. We got wheels there and Wheels right here so it can Move along and really that's about it. It can't aim up or down It's fires straight ahead and a cool thing about this figure is this Galvatron is Electronic there's a button right here. You press this And you got some cool 80s sound. Let me turn off these lights here So you can see the lights that work Maybe barely let me turn this light off too. There we go So it's still not dark enough, but that light will light up that entire translucent barrel Now there is three different options. There is a switch right here. Let me get these lights back on So right there. There is a black switch. So we've got sound number one flip it to the middle Little high-pitched sound and the last one So pure 80s Nostalgia right there and that's pretty much it for Galvatron's space cannon He does have a third mode. We're gonna take the rear of the cannon fold that down like so Take the treads and flip these over And there is his let me zoom out Handgun mode and now his electronics are activated by this trigger right here So you can squeeze that and open fire, but that That is not a great mode for this figure I think these are originally supposed to either point straight or be up like that the mine are really loose So that's what you're going to get with my figure here. So we'll go ahead and transforming back to cannon mode and Now move on to robot mode Now the first thing we're going to do is take Galvatron's orange barrel and remove that place that to the side Grab the rear of the cannon and pull back These will create Galvatron's legs Back here. We're gonna flip the toe sections out and now Just simply open the legs up Like so and then flip down the little hip skirts Now you've got this purple section right here. You're gonna pull pull up and over like so rotate this section around and Slide this down now. I'll go ahead and stand Galvatron up Now you're gonna take the arms you have these treads here. You're gonna pull these down and Rotate around fold back up against the arm got these little tabs. You're gonna pull out That reveals the fist do the same thing here with this arm bring down turn around Listen to those lovely ratchets Flip that out. There's Galvatron's other fist you know all Around here make sure the legs are all the way up. You don't take this back section Bring this up Now you're gonna take this extra piece right here. This is his cannon mount this snaps right onto his arm You see the little indentation right there matches up to that tab Snap that on and this is where you're gonna fit the cannon barrel So that just plugs in right there and Galvatron also comes with a Gun I don't know why a guy who wields a massive cannon who turns into a massive cannon has to wield a gun But G1 Megatron had one as well You can put that in his hand and there you have generation one Galvatron all armed and ready for battle and First off this is a another generation one brick I mean he doesn't really do much though. He does have some decent articulation The arms can do a complete 360 if they didn't hit the hip skirt right here And they tend to catch with the big treads, but the arms can also go out so you can Get that complete 360 if you wish now we're minor so loose I do like the fact that it can get hung up on the tread so at least get a little bit of pose ability There's also some articulation here on the forearms They can bend up and down kind of a little elbow bend if you will though it is a little low for an elbow legs nothing at the legs, but he does have a waist rotation due to transformation so He's got a little bit of articulation Now the electronics also carry over into robot mode and this time you're going to press right here below his belt buckle And the only thing that happens is you hear the sound and watch his eyes Maybe watch his eyes Come on Well They're lighting up trust trust me on that and that's pretty much it He's got some nice chrome work there on his abs and down there on the knees And as I said earlier the sticker decals carry over very well also nice red up here with the purple decepticon logo And now for some quick size comparisons here is transformers generation one galvatron with generation one megatron generation one rodimus prime and yeah, I really don't see rodimus tossing this galvatron around And titan's return galvatron The courageous ultramagnus is a born leader. We meet at last galvatron, and it will be the last time we meet And galvatron is ultramagnus's sworn enemy Galvatron transforms from leader cannon to fighting robot 1986's generation one galvatron is just a brick of a g1 figure But he's a very entertaining brick. He's got great articulation for a g1 not to mention He's got those great electronics Plus, he's also an iconic character and that makes this figure a must have in your generation one collection So there you go guys transformers 1986 generation one galvatron So does a 1986 transformers generation one galvatron belong in your collection? Absolutely This is a must have for any transformers generation one collector because even though he's not a perfect toy He's an iconic toy of an iconic character. I remember the first time I got a generation one galvatron I was so disappointed because he looked nothing like he did in the movie But at least with marvel comics, they gave him the same colorization as the toy So yeah, you see this guy pick him up. You're not going to be disappointed He's going to look great on your shelf Just be wary that there is some accessories that he comes with you want to make sure you get everything The cannon mount the orange barrel and the gun also make sure his electronics work 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 And if you're in any position to help out the channel I offer channel memberships here on youtube and I also have a patreon page And I want to give a huge shout out to my newest member Anthony court anthony.
