Energon Galvatron

Galvatron is the powered up form of Megatron, here, portrayed as a flying machine of death.

Galvatron is cast in a rich, royal purple. Translucent orange is used for his forward cannons, as well as the wing-mounted guns. These two colors work together very nicely. Grey is used for the giant turbines that power his vehicle form, and black and red are used for highlights. Two large Decepticon symbols are featured on his wings.

Galvatron’s attack format is attained by pulling out on his wing-mounted guns, causing his upper wing panels to elevate, and secondary guns to rotate forward and back. His tank unit can be placed on top to complete the format.

Galvatron’s tank unit comes cast in cast in grey, with black used for the highlights. Translucent purple is used for one side of the tank turret, and will light up when the trigger mounted on the tank barrel is pressed. Translucent orange is used for a flip-up targeting panel. His missile is cast in black.

Galvatron’s transformation pattern is surprisingly simple, aided along by the use of automatic spring loaded parts. These steps include his hands, knees, and feet; his shoulder assembly is rigged to have one side automatically transform at the same time as the other, requiring the manual transformation of only one.

In robot mode, his paint consists of more royal purple, and black is still used for his highlights. Metallic red is used on both his optics and chest. Also located on his chest is the Decepticon symbol. His face is done in shiny silver.

Glavatron comes equipped with full joints, and is rather stable. His tank unit can be attached to either arm by means of two flip-out panels that form a clip. He holds his fusion cannon up rather well. The tank unit can be spun around, and clipped onto his arm again. In the nosecone of Galvatron’s spaceship mode, is stored a translucent orange sword. This can be plugged into the hilt mounted on the back of the tank unit. Lights and sounds activate when the sword is connected.

Galvatron is an excellent addition to any collection, and is an impressive figure.

Note: the last few panel show Galvatron holding Doomlock’s sword, this does not come included with him.
