Sabrblade states the truth here. For me that run was the peak of epic Transformers fiction. The entire battle with Unicron, all the deaths (Scorponok's in particular) and the aftermath really stayed with me since I was a kid.

Yeah, the characters look a bit goofy, but they were the Unicron horsemen essentially, and they were not to be taken lightly. and the Unicron wars was a great story, and yeah, the Scorponok story line really was amazing.

I've finally got my Unite Warriors Defensors and Devastators shipping from TFSource. I'll probably not have them until late next week, though. TFSource has changed its warehouse to somewhere in Nevada! They used to be just a 30 minute drive up I-35E for me here in Minnesota. Although I well exceeded the $150.00 mark for free shipping on my order, I spent the extra $5.00 to have it all expedited. I want those figures by Xmas, dang it!

Actually, couldn't this story serve to explain more why he is revived as Super Megatron, even though he died as Galvatron? If the 'Galvatron' part of his soul is thus removed here in this comic, and never returns to the body, could you argue that the 'Megatron' part is still left inside the body? Maybe if you consider Galvatron to be mentally fragmented after his re-formating?

Maybe?

Megatron and Galvatron were the same person in the cartoon continuity, so wouldn't it go without saying that they have the same soul? Galvatron wasn't a new guy like Scourge and Cyclonus were. Unicron just changed Megatron's body, voice, and name. The lava pit on Thrull messed Galvatron up to make him insane, but during The Headmasters cartoon, Galvatron was no longer insane.

Mine hasn't moved since December 11, apparently. But maybe no one has bothered to update the package log. :)

Shipping is definitely a bother this time of year. There have been tons of news stuff going on about how holiday shopping has everywhere backed up something fierce.

Ya. I think the holiday rush has everyone and their Tracking Systems fully taxed. I hit ship on a PoL from BBTS on Monday and it is still sitting in the "warehouse". I'm a little stressed about it as there are some Xmas gifts in there. I won't be surprised if Devy shows up and tracking never updates.

Tis the season!

I'm really glad I was able to walk into a store and buy my UW Devy. I would be in agony waiting for one to ship.

Yes it is! My Shockwave, Megs and Underbite are now only a little ways away and will be here tomorrow, after 2 and a half weeks of waiting. Yay!

It will be a couple months befre I can get my UW Devy, because other expenses. Cry for me!

If you know where to look, they most certainly do.

I feel for ya....except, I shipped my POL on Mon too. And Devs is sitting in my basement along with my new motorcycle Groove. (Need to take a pic of him with Hasbro's Defensor...)

And now I feel guilty...like I'm rubbing your face in it. I guess I better leave Devy and go see the new Star Wars.

BTW, I agree with MemphisR56. He's a LOT bigger than I thought he'd be. Darn near Masterpiece really...

One good thing I did notice as I am mulling over this thing not coming on time (he's in Toronto, get a MOVE on!) is how short it took to clear customs:

12/16/2015 21:06 In Customs

12/16/2015 21:08 Departure from inward office of exchange

I dont think 2 mins of customs is enough to write out the paperwork for how much I would owe them if they taxed me. I think my plan worked and I will get this guy scott free

Didn't the episode "Web World" strongly hint that there was more than one personality/mind/soul/whatever inside of crazy Galvatron? If I recall, Cyclonus remarks about Galvatron, "Well, he is sort of two people, right?" I think that's what hinomars19 was getting at. Forgive me if I am misremembering.

Either way, Galvatron was no longer crazy in The Headmasters, acting more like how he acted in The Movie or when he was Megatron.

Oh Agy, I can handle it. I'm a big boy. But if it makes you feel any better I just got home from Star Wars. It was... !

Man, I could totally see Scrapper saying that, Nichael Bell's voice and all.
