Dose anyone think we could ever see this figure? I dont mean a larger version of the existing universe galvatron either, I mean a newly sculpted, larger in circumfrence, all around larger voyager galvatron. I would even be happy for a larger made deluxe galvatron, but that seems unlikley due to the fact that there are already several incarnations of the universe mold.
Am I the only one pining away for this figure, or are there many like me that need to have a proper galvatron?

You're not the only dreaming for one. However, the chances are pretty slim since Hasbro doesn't recycle characters for new molds with the classics-styled lines.

I believe Bumblebee and Warpath would object to this.

However not looking at the legends sub-line, I would agree with you. Though that doesn't stop me from wanting one. For now I use the Superlink Galvatron G as my Galvatron, he is awesome.

yeah, I'd like a good Galvatron.

Galvatron may be the biggest disappointment of the classics line - and that's being polite. I agree Hasbro are likely to treat him as "done that....next!" but I would love a bigger and better Galvy and it's a real shame it's going to take a long time and a huge amount of whining to get one.

I don't consider Legends and Cyberverse part of the main line. Just we're clear on that.

What about Ultras?

Mon Oct 17, 2011 8:34 pm

Don't Prime and Megatron have both Deluxe and Voyager sized representations in the Classics line?

Edit:

And if you want to be technical, Onslaught and Silverbolt both have Deluxe and Ultra sized reps as well. Onslaught and Silverbolt were released as repaints of the Energon combiners that were sold under the ROTF banner. I mean, yea, they were repaints.... And yes, they were packaged as ROTF figures (at least in certain parts of the world). But hey, there's still a Classics-verse deluxe class Silverbolt and Onslaught as well as an Ultra sized Onslaught and Silverbolt.

It actually makes displaying Bruticus and Onslaught in a Classics collection together rather...odd...

I concure.

A common line of thought

Universe/Henkei Galvatron was a wasted opportunity. A could have been great figure...........

News Credits: 8 · Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:01 pm

not to mention this is Galvatron we're talking about, not just some generic decepticons troops. he deserved to have a proper HIM. When he was released, kept telling myself that the deluxe on the galvatron to the deluxe meg and op. but years has gone by, nada~

Please, Hasbro, takara, FP, igear, TFC, anyone, we yearn for bigger galvy! (not to mention that 3rd party The Fallen is coming)

I don't hate classics Galvatron as much as most people do ... but I wouldn't mind an update.

Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:21 pm

I would love to see an Ultra sized Galvatron. I would love it even more if it were somewhat similar to the Siege Tanks from Starcraft. As long as the transformation actually works well unlike that pos version we were given in the Universe 2.0 line.

I like Galvatron...a lot. Granted, he'd be better if he were voyager size, but that doesn't take away from him being pretty sweet nonetheless.

Mon Oct 17, 2011 11:02 pm

i like my deluxe Galvatron, but a nice Voyager is sorely needed. I'm surprised we haven't gotten one yet from 3rd party companies. maybe after all the Devastator hooplah is over, everyone will be making Galvatrons?

*praying that you're right.
my Protector ached to have his rival already. can't be pickin up deluxe galvy, thats bully

At best we could hope a 3rd party company creates a voyager or ultra sized G-1 galvatron toy that transforms into a laser canon alt mode.
Hopefully Takara Creates a masterpiece galvatron toy very soon.

Basically, anything between Scout and Supreme is main line material.

Jelze If my wife and I ever divorce I am flying to the netherlands to claim you as my bride.
On a different note and in to response to the few that mentioned that they did not hate their universe galvie, I have to agree.
I do like my galvatron, but he has certainly been weighed and found wanting. Particularly when put into a group display he simply looks to small to pull off being the menacing, insane, unicronian, decepticon leader.
I Do think that I may be so fond of him because my wife snuk and bought him to supprise me. She knew I wanted him badly. I rember looking at his pic on ebay and pining away for him but I didnt know he was so small.
The same thing happened to me with universe optimus. You just dont get a good idea of their size in cpu pics.
None the less, I love my galvatron if for no other reason than because my wife went outta her way to procure him for me, hid him from me til a certain date and finally gave him to me. He is currently on the middle shelf up front with scourge to his rear left and cyclonus to his rear right.

Better not tell my wife that, she's got sticks and knows how to use them

Galvatron did have potential, but it's the decision to downsize him and omit the third turret mode that make him look a bit bad.

In one of the articles a while back it was revealed that Takara and Hasbro intended to release Galvatron as a Voyager and then scaled it down to a deluxe. I attributed his fidgity transformation to that.
