We know that Animated Megatron will absolutely not turn into Galvatron, nor will Galvatron appear at all in Animated.

Awhile back, four characters were listed (Cyclonus, Ratbat, Galvatron, Waspinator) and it was said that only three of those four would be appearing in Animated and the other one would not. Of those four, Galvatron has not appeared in Animated, so it's likely that he will not be appearing in Animated at all.

I wouldn't say "absolutely" seeing as how what gets SAID and what actually HAPPENS are very often not the same...But aside from that, I find it highly unlikely Galvatron will be brought in and frankly I hope he isn't...I lvoe that character but I don't feel as though Megatron HAS to turn into Galvatron in every single series...

(On that note I kinda dug how the new IDW-Verse has Galvatron as a separate character from Megatron)

Just watched Human Error part 2. Loved the Weird Al reference, when Wreck-Gar pulls out an accordion. "The Mighty Wreck-Gar cannot hope to defeat...the Mighty Wreck-gar...who's side am I on again?" The whole character is awesome.

Those weren't cameos. The Witwicky's had cameos, but Ratbat and Laserbeak feature too prominently in this episode for that to just be cameos.

It was a great episode with lots of nods. I liked the reference to Snarl/Slags name change. Also anyone think they parodied Fooly Cooly/FLCL when Prime jumped and hit Soundwave with a guitar?

Oh man, I forgot to mention that. First we have the Canti/Wreck-gar thing going on, and then Prime whacks someone over the head with a guitar.

Don't forget Sari's new scooter. :wink:

...even though it's more of a reference to her scrapped tricycle idea from the promom, but still.

I'm suprised no one mentioned that laserbeak pickin up soundwave is from the headmasters series, when wave got destroyed and remade into soundblaster

I'd love to see Galvatron show up. I'd love an Animated version.

I completely forgot about that!

Also, I didn't realize this until I watched it a second time, but when Prime destroyed Soundwave, he also killed Ratbat.

HA! Victory is MINE!

*ahem*

I have found proof that Galvatron will NOt be appearing in Animated! Derrick Wyatt had this question asked to him at TFCon:

"Q: What is your favorite character? How about your least favorite? And which character would you have wanted to add to the cast?"

And gave this answer:

"A: Favorite character, hands down, is Swindle. Least favorite is Beachcomber (some jeers from the crowd there) Sorry Beachcomber fans! We even cut his scene. Character I would have liked to put in... I'd say Galvatron. But with Nimoy for the voice."

You see that? A charatcer he would have liked to put in. Meaning a charatcer that is not in Animated that he had wanted to add in, but didn't!

Therefore, we can now truely say that Galvatron is not and will not be showing up at all in Animated.

Thus making Animated the third (fifth if you add in all the Japanese shows) series to neither have Megatron turn into Galvatron, nor to feature any Galvatron at all.

and Wyatt also refuses to say that Animated is over nor that it's not -- and apparently hints that Hasbro will make a statement about it at BotCon.

Here's hoping we'll get (at least) a Season 4.

Human Error parts 1 and 2. Hmmmmm... Part one was amazing, part two was...mediocre. I really liked seeing Soundwave again, but I do not enjoy the fact that he is utterly useless. The fact that he actually put up a fight before getting broken up into a million pieces this time was a nice change, but still, I would have preferred that he cleverly escape. Also, for the win...

Soundwave: Your axe is useless, Autobot.

Optimus Prime: But yours isn't!
*Grabs Laserbeak and forces him into his guitar mode*

Another good thing is seeing Wreck-Gar again, but I wish they would have given him his wrist blades, that way there could be some logic to why the toy has them.

And Scrapper's reason for choosing Snarl over Slag for his pet dinobot's name was priceless.

He took over an entire city, twice, one of which involved machines starting a city-wide riot. That does not qualify as useless.

So, maybe useless was the wrong word. I was thinking weak. He was easily defeated in Sound and Fury. At least in these two episodes he put up more of a fight.

In Sound and Fury, he had only recently gained sentience. And even then, he started a city-wide machine uprising.

It's a shame that this is the last we will see of Soundwave, I wish they would have made him more of a core character.

I wouldn't mind Megatron becomming Galvatron so much if he got a new body every time and not just a new paint job. Like the original version of the characters.

RID, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron were all just recolors.

It's possible movie and Animated Megatron's could become Galvatrons but if all they do is repaint them it's not worth it.

Shadow Blade Megatron is probly the closest thing to Galvatron in Animated. Being a villain of the week in the series rather than appearing in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE, he really doesn't even get enough face time as Megatron to warrent an upgrade.

Movie Megatron, well, ask me again after the sequill.

I have to agree that there hasn't been enough pure Megatron to warrant him getting changed. This is my favorite incarnation of Megs and he has barely been in this season. I could watch more of this Megatron for 3 more seasons.

Is there any way to have both Megs and Galvatron in the series together, like one rules one half of the galaxy and one has the other?

Just an idea.

Well, they pulled off something like that in the Marvel comics series, but they were still the same person (the future self just traveled back in time and met his past self).

Either way guys, what difference does it make? Wyatt just said that Galvatron didn't make it in Animated.

IDW did it, where they were two different characters entirely.

Yes! Scrapper and Wreck-Gar are back! Hell yes! Who would've thought that they would be the ones to help save the Autobot? I hope Mixmaster would come back soon. Also, does anyone else think that Ratbat looks like a sword in guitar mode?

I don't think he's gone. At the end, Lazerbeak picked up a Soundwave cassette, which is kinda like the cassette at the end of Sound and Fury.

Yeah, but we do know that Ratbat is dead. Prime killed him when he sliced Soundwave.

Hurm... I seemed to have missed that bit, will definitely rewatch the episode now.
