Another confusing toy! Deciding between this one or some Galvatron, d-016 or something..

Takara Tranformers beastwars Galvatron 6-changer D-001

Who the heck is this guy? I dont see him in the photo galleries

Was he in Beast Wars II or Neo?

Who is his big adversary? Big Convoy? Lio Convoy?



THanks!

[MegaDave]

not beast wars at all infact carrobots/RiD although the villains were predacons(at first) the good guys were autobots and fireconvoy/optimus prime was the leader and gigatron/megatrons adversary

[Briggs]

Bah, misleading ebay auction name said Beast Wars! Bummer.

I don't like the Galvatron from Beast Wars, the dragon/drill tank, his head looks weird, so i want a cooler version of villian to face off my lio convoy! haha, i am picky (display purposes) Might have to settle with ugly head galvatron :\

ive got galvatron from BW2 and i think he looks ace - i can even get past the fact he permently grimaces like a ninja turtle - mainly because he did it so much on the show too

Gigatron is from Robots in Disguise cartoon and toy series...

I say get the Galvatron if your interested in the Beast Wars series.. Apparantly he is the Galvatron from G-1 from what I've read,, though no allutions were made to that during the cartoon of beast Wars Neo, and and Beast wars 2, yet some Manga stuff I've read tranlated said he's the Galvatron from G-1, reformatted, still he's a great figure and it took Big Convoy and Magamtron to drop Galvatron...!!! he's Da Man in my book!!

[Briggs]

Is Beat Wars II and Beat Wars Neo the same continuity?

When I collect toys I try to stick with continuity/show.

I thought Big Convoy and Magmatron were adversaries, then it was Lio Convoy and Galvatron

I dont know where the reformatted rumour comes from ive certainly never heard it.

galvatron is leo convoys rival and dies at the end of bw2 - then neo starts as they investigate the source of the energy they discovered in bw2 lead by big convoy while magmatron sets out to claim it for the predacons.

later in the series they discover the energy is unicrons life source and unicron possesses galvatrons body - that is the point where it takes bog convoy and magmatron to take him down as skywarp-2 reffered to earlier

This just proves that Beast Wars all around just had the best storylines ever! I wish BW2 and Neo would be translated and sold in the US. I would be all over that.

BTW, I've been wondering this for a while now: Is it Lio Convoy, Leo Convoy, or Leo Prime? I've seen all three used in various places and its made me all confused.

Japanese toys/series are a Westerners worst nightmare. Thank goodness for Wikipedia!

Its says leo convoy on the box for mine

leo prime is probably just a way to westernize it by removing the convoy references

Hmmm...I think I like Leo Prime the best because it sounds so iconic and bad ass. Optimus Primal and Leo Prime...what a team they would make.

Prime is so mine. I'm ordering him tomorrow.

I like it this way...

Lio Convoy = Lio Prime,(Pronounced Leo- Prime)
Big Convoy = Maximal Prime
RID/Car robots Fire convoy = Fire Prime

for Big Convoy, there is only one Takara release i believe, though it comes in either japanese or korean release (i think the difference is in the box only). it was also recolored and released in the universe line as Nemesis Prime, with a wicked recolor to boot.

[Slumble B]

Hmmm...which one is easier to the find - the Takara version or the Universe repaint?

BTW, is that an Ult BB in your sig? Pretty freakin' cool my friend. Hows it treatin you?

SB

[zemper]

hmm...tough question. i guess both are fairly hard to find right now, though i reckon eBay's got a few of those but at steep prices. just shows you how sought-after these figs are.

oh, and my sig? that's just my beloved 08 BB deluxe. no way i'm spending $100 (that's the price here) on a huge piece of innacurate-transforming plastic. haha. i'd rather drop that amount on MP-01 or rare BW figs.

Wow, thats a deluxe version? I've never seen one before...man is she ever a beaut. Maybe it's the light or something, but it looks so freakin nice and detailed.

Damn my crappy '74 camaro with the awkward feet.
