Hasbro was thinking Galvatron when they created this version of the mold (hence the use of orange and purple).

Customizations (both by customizers like Jin Satome and third parties like X-Transbots) are only natural.

I like the idea, but I don't see a need for a WFC Galvatron simply because I can't make it make sense on my shelf since Galvatron (in G1 at least) came after Megatron had already come to Earth and gotten an Earth alt-mode.

Still looks cool, and I can't fault anyone for wanting to spruce up an already great figure (in my opinion) with some modifications to get more mileage out of the repaints.

I've got every version of this mold that's been released so far, and they all look great but I'm happy with them as they are.

I'd still like to have a Classics style Galvatron though, but I expect that will come in the form of either an official new product from Has/Tak or a complete third party figure as I can't think of any existing official figure that could easily be upgraded into a Classics Galvy.

Yet another victim of Hasbro's crackdown. Goodbye X-3 Tyrant, hello pointless upgrade.

I sincerely hope that's not the case. I had high hopes for X-3 if that's the one I'm thinking of.

a great figure made even better

I'm thinking of this one:







I too hope this isn't the case and we do see this product. I would take it over WFC Megatron any day. FYI, I too have done a custom Galvatron out of that mold. I think everyone who wanted to do it has done it by now.

Don't get me started on the RTS Perceptors repainted into Soundwaves.

I'm not mad or anything, it just rubs me the wrong way how people are making money off his ideas.

I found a picture of what I believe is Jin's WFC Galvatron custom, is this the right one...

Apart from a lick of paint and a head mod which looks like Generations Blurr, I cant see where X-Transbots are copying Jin's custom at all?

X-Transbots look to have created a totally new head and a chest add-on, where the original chest has just been slid down to form a larger crotch?
Those guys have got balls!!

The chest add-on bears at least some similarities to Universe Galvatron's one, while the head looks like it's the one of WCF Megatron's with a triple crest added. It's a neat idea, sure, but I'd like they come up with a more "personal" sculpt.

That looks like a very cool and interesting upgrade. The colours might be a real issue but mold wise it already looks a million times better than Universe 2.0 Galvatron. It still doesn't get around the biggest issue: the deluxe size.

I'll wait and see.

That new chest piece IS a copy of the one from Universe Galvatron, scaled up abit... If u own Universe Galvatron, take a look.

Top half would work as Galvatron, Bottom half... Too sharp points IMO. Legs does not look Galvatronish. Plus, I don't Megatron from the ROC 3pack, and this would look odd on regular colour WFC megs. Just sticking with the real Universe Galvatron.

Looks nice so far, need to see a little more before I plunk down the duckies..
