I brought this up in another thread. If he is, then he certainly hold a place of power for me in my toy collection as a "must get and Now!!" Buy. Does anyone know if IDW has anything on this? Is there a Gallery which shows the toys next to each other? It would be interesting to see the similarities in the toys, and versus the one from Energon as well. Here's what I wrote on the subject:
I wonder if he's the furture version of Galvatron from G-1, it wasn't really clear in the fan dubbed version i have been watching, it certainly could work into the mythos, which would mean that BW2 Galvatron was actually Megatron from G-1 and has been hiding for a long time, and that the events that went down on Earth in Beast Wars with that Megaton and the golden disc was actually a secret plot devised by BW2 Galvatron. Anyone know if this could be the case?
here is what wikipedia has to say:
Beast Wars II, Animated series
In Japan the exclusive cel-animated series Beast Wars II introduced a new character by the same name. In the years that followed the end of The Great War, the factions known as the Maximals and Predacons arose to replace the Autobots and Decepticons. In this time, a Transformer known called Galvatron was the leader of a group of Predacons who landed on Planet Gaia (a future version of Earth) in search of the power of the Angolmois energy to rule the universe. After many battles, he brought in his Fortress Nemesis to finish the extraction of the energy from the planet. Confronted by the Maximals Lio Convoy and LioJunior, merged together as the Lion of Gaea, Galvatron was defeated, but as the Angolmois energy was sealed in capsules to prevent further use, Galvatron revived, intending to use the self-destruct device in his chest to destroy his foes. With a final blow, Lio Convoy shattered Galvatron's chest, causing a cataclysmic explosion that seemed to kill both of them off and scattered the Angolmois capsules across the galaxy.
Galvatron was a Triple Changer, using a Gaian computer to give him the most powerful forms the planet had to offer. These were an ancient drill tank and a monstrous dragon. This made Galvatron the first Predacon in the series to gain a beast mode, although his was made into a Transmetal-like form because of his tank mode. Galvatron had immense power, to such an extent he often lapsed into stasis until he managed to amass enough Angolmois Energy to be permanently active in the second half of the series.
Beast Wars Neo
In the course of the Beast Wars Neo sequel series, it is revealed that the Angolmois energy is actuality the life essence of Unicron himself, which his minions the Blendtrons seek to recover. The Blendtrons also recover Galvatron's lifeless shell, which was then possessed by Unicron as he attempted to transform Cybertron into his new body, only to be defeated by Maximal leader Big Convoy, aided by Lio Convoy and his Maximals.
This incarnation of Galvatron was voiced by Tetsuo Komura.
The similarities Between that series Galvatron and the G-1 version are uncanny, both have a connection to Unicron, Both pilot a ship, or fortress in this case, called the Nemesis. both are Purple with some gold or orange, it's just soo much so that I could see the Beast wars II Galvatron becoming the perfect future version of his original form from the reformat in the movie to the end of the G-1 saga, which would make Beast wars II Galvatron the original megatron!!!
Crap!!! I need that toy!!!
Can someone do a toy comparison please?
