Thats one hell of a backpack. Whats up with that long black piece riding up behind his head? Reminds me of BH Starscream.

It's mistransformed. That long assembly sticking outward from his back can be folded down 90 degrees. The tip of it will be visible between his legs from the front, though. At any rate, you can most certainly change the angle of his dangle.

But G1 Galvatron just has a backpack. Why is this figure having one any wonder?

I was referring more to that long black piece. And just because G1 had it doesnt mean Hasbro cant improve over it. I thought they didnt want to feel chained to G1 (their words). And in any case, this isnt G1 Galvatron, its their new take on him.

That stance looks cool. But overall I think this is a C+ effort of the mold. What's going for it is the fact that the 2.0 version was so crappy that any improved version would be welcomed.

Hasbro's version of Galvatron will do (I prefer that color more) but I'm hoping that 3rd party has the sense to be already working on a new head with crown attached as well as a better arm cannon or port that can place it on the side of his arm instead of always being on top like that. Other than those skinny thighs which I guess can't be changed, I think the figure is alright.

Doesn't matter what pose they put this figure in dramatic poses on toys and proper trnasformations doesn't make my decision for me it how figure looks I don't like how figure looks I don't buy it it's ok in not mode ship mode not liking canon mode is ok

... I... beg your pardon??

Anywho I think this might be one of the few times I consider buying both Takara and Hasbro's take on the mold despite being the exact same character and toy - Hasbro's represents what imo should be Galvatron's colour scheme, while Takara's is... a bit more reminiscent of Marvel's Galvatron II. Who is the craziest most insane **** out there and I love him for it

I don't know....he looks very G1 inspired to me, backpack included...

[Gauntlet101010]

Aw, yeah! An official voyager Galvatron!

Not that I don't already have several Galvatrons. It's still nice to see Galvy at this size class done officially. When I have more room I really have to make a Galvatron display. Maybe Galvatron VS Hot Rod....

Galvatron II is pretty much just Galvatron in G1 toy colors, which this is not. He'd need gray, not light purple, as his main torso color to fit that version. To me it looks like Takara is still going for toon colors, just a different interpretation of how dark he should be (since the animation wasn't always consistant).

So he was a headmaster in G1 then?

Just messing, your right Scotty and Agamemnon, he looks pretty darn good and spot on. And for the record my main cause for concern was that weird antenna.

I'm liking the looks of the mold there. Can't wait for it!

Hardhead is into moe now?

[Va'al]

Thanks to a notification from fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, we have some new Takara Tomy Transformers Legends images from TFYuki - specifically, of LG21 Hardhead, seemingly playing with his own Legend class tank partner. Check them out mirrored below!

[Randomhero]

-looks at first picture- looks good

-looks at second picture- dammit Japan...

There are rarely times when I'm glad I only have a shallow understanding of Japanese culture, but I think this might be one of them.

And I don't want it explained.

[william-james88]

I dont get the second pic, why is he heavily bowing before an anime girl cutout?

[Microraptor]

The second picture is inexplicably causing me to want a Transformers/Squidgirl crossover. It's not even a Squidgirl character, how does that work?

[Sabrblade]

My first instinct upon seeing the second pic was that Hardhead was drawing a picture of the anime girl on the ground, either with sidewalk chalk or with normal art materials on a large canvas, as though Hardhead was part of some anime art class or something.

[ricemazter]

I really wish the hasbro version had this guy's head. A repaint of the takara version would make a decent idw crankcase, I think. I'm not to familiar with the titans return products coming our way, is there any word if some heads will be sold separately, or is each one unique to a body? Maybe then this hardhead's head will show up stateside and I can finally start making semi accurate versions of the scavengers

[Kurona]

Huh, I didn't realize this guy had a different head with a mouth. Well now alongside Blurr that's the second Takara version of a TR figure I want...
I can at least trust if they make Brainstorm without a faceplate I won't want it. That's just not right to me

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I like this this hardheads head so much better. The mouth just looks better
