Personally I'm hoping for an all new original mold.

Personally I'm hoping for an all new original mold.
I'd wager it's some version of this:

Leader class would be worse than deluxe. If it were leader class it wouldn't go with anything...save maybe MPs. But it's probably that gladiator looking set El Duque showed...taking a deluxe WFC Megs up to voyager size.

If they pulled that off I would have a new found respect for CHMS, though I guess it would still be KO-ish.

For all the hell Universe Galvatron gets, I think he's a lot better looking than this concept.

Interesting, making it MP size seems like a bad move. Voyager I could understand since Hasbro already produced their Classic version in Deluxe size.

I'm sorry, but for all their praising, CHMS hasn't been able to reliably do deluxe-sized figures right yet, (Joints too tight or loose, paint details missing, poor faces) these small flaws are only going to me magnified in a MP-scaled figure.
Especially if the figure transforms, which we haven't got proof that it does yet.
Posted by Gauntlet101010 on October 27th, 2011 @ 7:48pm CDT
We'll see how it is. I'm not aware of a transforming 3rd party Galvatron; it'd be neat if it was an original mold. But, yeah, CHMS didn't nail the Seekers I got and, by all indications, it didn't quite nail down the Hot Rod KO either.

I'll buy this one if it's super poseable. voyager or bigger sized,transforms into a 1986 laser canon alt mode.
I won't buy this if it's that awful armor pieces to turn WFC deluxe megatron into galvatron.
i won't buy this if it's deluxe or smaller scale.
i won't buy it if it's a actionmaster type styled toy with nothing transforming into the alt mode.

As an MP I'm only mildly excited, but I'd definately love it as a voyager-sized figure for the classics line.

I don't mind deluxe size. It'd go well with Scourge and Cyclonus. But that makes him smaller than Voyager Prime, Voyager Megatron, Protector, or even Titanium Rodimus. He should be the same size as the other leaders.
Although I have like dhow Classics Galvy looks with Scourge and Cyclonus due to their shared size.

I'd like my Galvatron to be voyager class, especially considering how tall a deluxe Cyclonus is.
Obviously this project is at a very early stage so I'm not going to put anything in stone but as it stands I'm not all that bothered by it. I'd be happy to see something I don't feel the compulsion to immediately order.

It doesn't really look like it has very good alt mode possibilities if it does transform, though.

Neither of the 2 working models shared in this discussion are home runs for me. I want that PERFECT Galvatron. Like the first time I saw MP Optimus or Grimlock. Just spot on. Galvatron is popular enough that he will eventually get the makeover treatment from Has/Tak/Tomy and the 3rd party industry. Probably multiple times over. I can wait.
this^ i dont like it. i want that perfect or some what good galvatron. someone will make it, and that some one is NOT these guys.
