Galvatron??? is Galvatron and Megatron some how separated in the japanese universe??

Real Devastator wrote:Yeah, Galvatron.
Probably Megatron is dead, thats why Galvatron appear to lead the decepticons again....

but that cover has Megatron yelling on it.. hmmm....

ｶﾞﾙﾊﾞﾄﾛﾝ = Galvatron (second sentence of the main story)

But but it says "ｶﾞﾙﾊﾞﾄﾛﾝII"??? Galvatron II??

Galvatron 2??? weird.. I suppose we just have to wait to see where the Japanese take this storyline..

maybe Galvatron 2 is a black repaint of Masterpiece Megatron?

Ok, managed get the translation, I guess is pretty close to what it is:


"The main story describes the emerge of Galvatron II has lead to the resurgence of the Decepticons. They are taking over many locations with energy sources. Laser Ultra Magnus recognises the problem, however Autobots is on the losing side. GaMede eventually came out with a plan by creating Convoy typed El Droids and send them to battlefields. Wheeljack managed to make copies on the Convoy El Droid, and duplicate it until 21 of them. All of the Convoy El Droids have been deployed and remotely control by Flip sides. "

Attention Japan!

Please refrain from switching out coffee for crack cocain during your storyboard meetings.

"Clones" is not an answer for everything.

Maybe this is all a hint that the next MP will be none other than... GALVATRON!!!

Yeah, probably not. But feel free to credit me with the revelation if it ever comes true.

Hehe, it's the Botcon Sweeps all over again!

So, this is picking off from the Hybrid Style manga, eh? Figures.

Note to everyone, Galvatron II is not the same guy as Megatron/Galvatron. In fact, this is the same Galvatron II from the Marvel Comics. He crossed over from that comic universe into the Japanese cartoon universe with a bunch of Warworlds at his disposal. Upon his arrival, Ultra Magnus was restored to life as Laser Ultra Magnus in order combat Galvatron II's threat. However, Laser Ultra Magnus could not defeat Galvatron II. But, by becoming upgraded into his Black Body once again, Optimus Prime took on Galvatron II and defeated him.

Since this is MP-01, he'll more likely have the Bumblebee and Starscream ones he had originally.

So, is this a limited release? If its on Takara's site does that mean it will see the same numbers produced as past Masterpieces?

If its a limited run then £99 doesnt seem so bad but for a simple repaint I am on the fence on this one, despite my love of the Masterpiece range.
