Guessing the regular USA retail of 2.0 Cyclonus darker purple might match better with the UT Mania King first release toy.

LED on mine, which is fine by me, it works much better as a display option.

Let me see if I can post a pic of what you are talking about here...

Sweet pictures guys!


I'm going to get mine from TF source... once all this stuff I've order actually gets to my house... I don't want another package out there until i get everything. (Botcon stuff from Funpub, SDCC stuff form HasbroToyshop, kotobukiya sutff from Toy Arena, Henkei Sunstalker from ebay, TRU Sunstorm, Figma Thor from Ami-Ami, Figuarts Green Ranger from Amazon) Really want this Mania King Right now though...

Finally got around to getting some better pics of him!

Nice photos Lube . I'm just in the middle of taking some more myself , haha

He's just a fantastic sculpt in robot mode and i want to get a few cannon pics up . That matrix reminds me , i need to hunt down my BIS two pack

Thanks. Ha, yeah he's a dream to pose and to photograph, the Matrix I'm using is from MP Rodimus, sure you can find it on eBay for lees that it would cost to buy the BIS pack, unless your buying it for Cyclonus of course.

Yeah I know the feeling,I have Device Label Soundwaves box tucked away somewhere with his alternate fists, cant for the life of me find them!

Transformed this guy this afternoon and i like it . i had to watch a video to figure out the legs because the instructions don't tell you to pull out from the knee once you have flattened out the lower leg

One other thing i had to sand the clip on his butt down as the sides were a little big and there was no way it was gonna pop into the slot during transformation .

overall i like the transformation and the alt mode looks cool .













I need more season 4 characters so Fansproject please hurry up with Mindwipe amd Scullcruncher and MMC please get to work with an Abominus .. in the mean time i just bought FOC Soundblasater .

Nice pic's AG. I shaved down that peg as well, no chance I was applying that much force on a £70 toy!

I just got mine from ebay. LASER version not LED! He is freakin badass. Funny thing is usps.com said he was still in chicago this morning and went I went out to get my mail this morning he was at my door. This is the one time I am happy package tracking was wrong.

He is a great figure isn't he, mines the LED version but even so, easily one of my favorite figures.

Yea, he is pretty great. The recolor really helps assuage the issues I have with him.

Bats#t crazy Galvatron! That scene of yours make me weep for poor old UM. Nice shots!

It's a awesome toy, Think it's hands down the best G-1 Galvatron toy created so far. Hoping more 3rd parties create Leader scaled toys for G-1 Galvatron or a IDW Leader scale Galvatron toy.

If UT would to upsize the Mania King toy to MP-10 Leader scale. Fix the wrist so they can rotate. Betting they'd be a line around the block begging for this.

I'm fairly certain that you would be the only person on that line...

I'm with you on this Mr T, I'd go as far to say that if upscaled with a few minor updates this would make a very good MP Galvatron.

But it wouldn't be MP. Or G1. It would just be a big 3rd Party Galvatron.

Mania King is a great figure, but it has some flaws prevents it from being the last word on Galvatron. Namely the rotation on the entire upper arms (wrists would only be a quick fix), and the exposed head in alt. mode. It'd take more than a quick upsize to fix those problems. And then it'd scale with nothing.

I'm tempted by this- that artillery piece mode is pretty good looking and aside from the lack of wrist swivels he looks exceptionally well engineered.

if youre thinking about it, got the cash, just go for it. its a very satisfying piece. and while its still available now, i think itll be one of those "once its gone, itll cost god-billion dollars" kinda figures. i learned that the hard way with TW orion.
