There's no way he would know what line it is from without the packaging. He really dosen't do much research it seems. Although PvP is resourceful in getting items early, unfortunately it leads to mistakes or sometimes basic toy information being left out as a result. I've heard him make some fairly regular errors when he talks about details from the past, or where these items will be found.

Can't wait for clear Galvatron. It looks like that eHobby set is finally going to be replaced one by one. I mean it's an assumption, but a safe one, I think.

I really like the spaceships and minifigs included with it. Kinda weird, tho. I mean I'm glad we're getting them, but they ought to have come with Unicron.

Anyone else who headcanon Sandstorm as "Earth Mode Sparkles Seeker" and G2 Ramjet as "Earth Mode Hotlink"?

Will likely pick this up just for the micro figures, doesnt really matter that the galvatron is a bit crappy when it's just his creation scene version and even if the RED Galavatrons should be better it wont have the extras.

Also, the Targetmasters matches. This makes the Netflix seekers the Cybertronian equivalent of the Select coneheads pretty obvious in my eyes.

...PrimevsPrime has yet again...

Yeah, I think I'm with you. I have to admit the GalvaTRON (emphasis on Tron!) actually looks pretty damned sweet.

I wonder...when they initially did the figure, did they accidentally make one with this plastic and think "Whoa this looks pretty cool! how can we spin this because we GOTTA make it..."

neat looking for sure, but not something I really need to have.

It seems odd that, if they are in the mood to milk this figure, they haven't released a G1 cartoon version of it that isn't covered in cr@pple-damage paint. The same goes for Springer.

I'm going to cancel my Selects toys color version and get this one.

The extras are nice, but honestly, I like the design of this figure even if it's not accurate to what was seen during the reformatting scene.
That deep purple looks niiiice.
I even like the color of the cannon.

For all you fans of Beast Wars: Uprising, this Reformatted Galvatron could be repurposed as a ghost of Galvatron made entirely of a spectral form of the G-Virus.

I love that canon colour too. Glad your taking the plunge. FOr me, those extras which I really don't need are holding me back.

Isn't a Springer repaint rumored for SS86?

More like wishful thinking that evolved.

If it's a straight, clean repaint, or thereabouts, I'm up for it.

It's been rumored in the same way that Glyph and Tap-Out have been rumored for the last 3 sets of exclusives: one particular leaker said it once, it hasn't happened, and now they've said it was bad info.

Now, considering we're apparently getting a slightly better painted Arcee for SS86, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Springer repaint in the same vein, but so far no credible evidence towards one.

Stop teasing me, folks. I just want me some professionally and competently painted Siege repaints!

If reformatted Galvatron glows under black light, it would be tempting. But sadly I've found with Hasbro's translucent plastic doesn't always equate to fluorescence.

Still as Galvatron redecos go, this one looks like it doesn't suck.

I don't see why he would glow under a black light. What works best for black light are certain types of pigments in the paint that might be used.

For instance, MP 01 works beautifully under a black light, thanks to his painted cab.

Maybe he meant glow-in-the-dark plastics? But usually, those are yellow-green white.
I'd love to have a glow-in-the-dark Transformers. This would be so cool!

Good Morning,

I've been collecting miniatures starships for years:

It's my thing, above TF collecting.  When I see something like this that's going to become rare and sell out installantly I'm excited, but also a bit concerned and a little annoyed.  While I know that some people, most people here are going to display the ships with their Unicron, I'll be putting them with my dedicated starship cabinet.  

I'd really like to get this, and if anyone has any advice or a line on where I could acquire specifically the ships (with or without the galvatron) I would like to hear about it, and it would be very appreciated.  You'd be making a fast friend.

My ship collection has a whole deciated subsection ships dedicated to the allies of Earth: Star Trek's Federation, Human Ships of Halo, Terran Ships of Starcraft (a bit of a stretch for 'allies'), Macross, Space Above and Beyond, Battlestar Galactica, and Autobots to name a few.  I even have a dedicated cabinet for Star Wars.

Examples for weird or rare things I have:

CC9800 Frigate from the Star Wars Rebellion video game, Saratoga from Space Above and Beyond, Enterprise-E Micro Machine from Star Trek, Protector from Galaxy Quest, Axalon from Beast Wars 10th anniversary Optimus Primal.

So I'm excited for this, but I'm also annoyed  at the way Hasbro has been handling these special items.

So if there's anyone out there that has any ideas, advice or even wants to trade things up I would be up for going into a business agreement.  Also, I have little desire for another Galvatron as the Kingdom one is good enough for my collection, but I would like the ships.  So I'd be cool with sharing the cost of this Galvatron multi-pack with someone just to get the ships.  

Please feel free send me a message.

Thanks for Reading

Speculation at this time is that this item will be become available for pre order during Pulse Con this Friday. If you want just the ships, someone here may be willing to make a deal via PM, otherwise probably just checking eBay once it is actually released
