RD is official news crew now? Didn't notice...long overdue, though! Dude's been breaking news left and right for months.

I would guess Ravage is supposed to be a G1 toy homage, with the guns and parts of the limbs chromed silver.

But then, the Henkei line is a testament to the designers' propensity for chroming random parts.

The spikes would look cool chromed, but that would necessitate hard plastic, which I doubt would come to pass in a US release.

Wake me up when we get a proper Voyager Class Galvy.

I've never had a single problem with my Universe Galvatron...is he known to be prone to falling apart?

i know its just a rumor, but i can totally see this happening.... and knowing how Real Devastator is always on the latest with the TF news, he's pretty reliable

The only problem I've had with Galvatron was the turret and cannon popped off the ball joint when I first transformed the toy. The reason was that the joint was super tight. Aside from that, I haven't had any issues with the parts popping off.

Those with meat hands find him to be...

j/k :lol:

I know some people have had problems with him and even mine pops off once in a while, too. I personally think he's great, though.

I tend to have stuff pop off during the first transformation anyways, becauise I mostly refuse to use instructions unless the TF is too expensive or I get stuck halfway through and cant figure it out (happened on the RotF Twins where I got stuck mid way through because I wasn't folding a panel correctly and decided to look at the instructions to see where I was going wrong) or I look at them to see what the proper placement of bits are onece I have them actually TFed (like the chest wedges on RotF Dead End or RotF Mudflap's wheels on his legs.

Yeah, so, I have bought a lot of RotF toys lately so that theyre fresh in my mind when thinking of things like this.

Convotron wrote:Hmm, I wouldn't pick Universe Galvatron for a repaint. Galvatron is a mediocre figure at best. The transformation process is poorly designed. It feels like the designers were trying to make it more jumbled than it needed to be. The proportions are odd with the figure being 70% arms and legs, and the rest being the torso and tiny head. That being said, I don't hate it but it's a toy where the character concept has great potential for toy design and the designers missed the mark.

My main criticism of the mold is the fact that it's a Deluxe class mold rather than the Voyager class mold it should be. It's Galvatron! If it was redesigned for as a Voyager class figure, many of the issues would be resolved. I don't mind the tank alt mode but it's awfully mundane for the character whose original alt mode was a space cannon. Galvatron should either be a space cannon again or a Cybertronian tank rather than an "Earth" tank.

as usual convotron you hit the nail on the head!!! seriously!! ;)^

I am all in favor now of a full on Hasbro made Voyager Galvatron as a space canon or cybertronian tank!! :DANCE:

that good ole Canuck fresh air must keep that gray matter in yer noggin running sharp...

Hook it up Hasbro, Hook it up!! :PRAY:

One repaint concept I came up with a while back, over at Allspark.com... Galvatron in something somewhat resembling original toy colors:

Now all we need is an insider at upper the echelon of Hasbro to put this Voyager Galvatron plan in motion!

As disappointing as his bot mode is, I really do like his alt mode.

I'd pick up a repaint if the color scheme was interesting.

I have several repainted Cybertron Unicrons (the tank) and Galvy on the shelf as heralds for the 2 planet sized Unicrons.

I'd be more than happy to add to this display.
