Galvatron is indeed a deluxe. You can find pics of him floating around right now if you look.

But he looks awesome! Great update to the character and the head looks spot on!

I'm still very much intrigue by the Marvel formers.

I really like Galvatron's robot mode. I just hope the legs turn out better than they look.

The tank mode is severely lame. A realistic tank with an orange cannon?

Galvatron is a little disappointing. I don't like the tank mode, and he should be an Ultra. But the robot mode, wow! Awesome! Best Galvatron Ever. Can't wait for pics of everyone else.

Very nifty I gotta say. He looks really nice in robot mode.

Hopefully the arm cannon can be positioned a little better.
The missile doesn't look like it belongs at then end of the barrel, fortunately you can just remove it.
All in all he looks pretty cool.

Galvy as a *deluxe-sized* tank?? What the heck?? I'm not even that into Galvatron and even I want something bigger than deluxe. :? Ah, but his bot mode DOES look great. Wow.

Ah, SWTF and Marvel TF being combined into "Crossovers" now makes sense of there being 18 figures released this year.

Looking forward to more pics! :)

That Galvatron is weak.

Deluxe sized? The Hell?

My Energon Galvatron is going to beat up on that toy until it learns some respect and grows into a proper Ultra Class figure.



Deluxe...

Its not that we're ungrateful, its just that sometimes we don't understand Hasbro. If we would pay for an ultra-sized figure, then why would Hasbro give us a deluxe-sized Galvatron? Don't they want our money?? :P

It just seems a little silly that we're getting an ultra-sized Powerglide, and a deluxe-sized Galvatron. I mean, does that make sense to ANYONE?? Now, as I've said, I love Powerglide, but I would have been fine with him as a deluxe and Galvatron as an ultra.

Like I said, sometimes we just don't understand what the heck Hasbro is thinking.

Well, since he's a Deluxe, that means he's the perfect size to fight Titaniums Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus.

Bloody hell. Ultra Powerglide, with deluxe Galvatron? How's that meant to work? Galvatron is meant to be huge, what's the point of a deluxe!? Must be a re-used design...

Yes, Hasbro sure are BUSINESS GENIUSES.

It's like some horrible joke regarding Hasbro's "views" on scale... yet I have no doubt the idiots will come out with some inane unporven defense for it... making both a LARGE and EXTREMELY L

And don't act like they're doing us a favour by giving us "any" G1 Galvatron, it's something a better toy company would have done right years ago. Instead we have the Energon figure, who's a brick, and the deluxe, who's too small to look intimidating next to any other figure.

Why do people keep defending them? Obviously, who ever is in charge of Universe just picks the vehicles he likes best to make Ultras. Octane was bad enough, but come on, Galvatron. I so badly wanted a Galvatron figure but this one is 100% useless to me.

Also, I hear the basic Bumblebee sucks. The deluxe Bumblebee is already meh(I already have one, frustrating Transformation, awkward articulation, horrible plastic colour, though they may fix the last one I doubt it).

Transformers fans: easily the least grateful people on Earth.


GTFO. If they were Toybiz we'd have gotten a Galvatron figure AND it would have been the right size. TF boards are nothing more than cesspools of pointless positivity these days, what you say just aggravates it further. People should be allowed to bitch and should bitch when they make a figure of a character people have wanted done properly for years and make it entirely the wrong scale.

Would you rather people not criticise them form making a 100% stupid decision? Would you rather people not think for themselves and just think what Hasbro wants them to? Because that's mostly what's happening already.

Well, since he's a Deluxe, that means he's the perfect size to fight Titaniums Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus.


Yeah, but this isn't Titaniums. That's the one redeeming feature; but if he'd been a Titanium, we would have gotten a G1-accurate alt mode too and probably a cooler deco.

Excuse me?

What am I supposed to be grateful for here? It's not like any criticism of Galvatron's size here is unwarrented.

I suppose you have an excellent reason for why Galvatron is a deluxe sized figure and Powerglide is an Ultra?

I don't have any problem with the bot mode for Galvatron. That looks good. The tank...is bland. Let's face it. I'm not really sure why he's a tank when the cannon would have been perfectly acceptable to do, especially in light of the fact that we got Megatron last year. For as cool as this figure looks, it also fails in some pretty important ways for what it's supposed to be.
