I wish that one of the king starscreams would one day come with the 2 feet leftover from being disintergrated so I could finally really recreated Galvatron stepping on the helmet with starscreams feet in the background.
@@PerspectiveEnd If only it wasn't just me interested in such a weird product. Another problem is that they'll charge like $20+ even though it'll be 3d printed chopped up earthrise starscream feet.
A really cool bonus feature is that you can peg the gun into the misassembled shoulder rivet holes to recreate a more classic look for the gun. I actually prefer this to having the arm cannon on the side.
I mean you kind of loose the entire arm doing that and I'm finding it bounces off the shoulder pylon, also I think the upper elbow is what's supposed to mimic that.
@@PerspectiveEnd yknow just typically with scooters they can swing around and bash your ankles and shins and it’s really painful. Oddly happens a lot too
Matrix in the lore: a great powerful one of a kind artifact that shows and bring the importance of a leader and their leadership Matrix in the toys: and you get a crappy matrix, and you get a crappy matrix, and you get crappy matrix, everyone gets a crappy matrix
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah it was, but how come do all of the toys need to get all of the chappy ones, like optimus, sure it's optimus, hotrod, not as much, and I would excuse the galvatron one but they have done this thing with the matrix so much I just can't
@@sixela2268 let be happy that war for cybertron trilogy matrix's are actual matrix's because power the primes matrix is something that even the revenge if the fallen matrix look better than that trash even it didn't look like the matrix
Glad it seems like the shoulder fix is being run out in stores, not that the pins are really a major eyesore for me personally. Cool that we got the big three unicron guys all in the same year, been with universe galvatron, cyclonus, and generations scourge for a long time
Well, I just got galvatron yesterday, and HOLY COW, YOU WERE NOT JOKING! This figure has shot to being a contender for one of my favorite transformers of the year!!!
Yeah, it looks good it feels great, all except for those stinking hip flaps that feel like they are going to sheer the lug of of during transformation, and it just does everything a Galvatron needs to do.
I guess it’s kinda accurate to the 1986 movie but the characters would look wonky in some moments. But the top of the helmet looks odd as a purple thumb I thought it was flat in the movie
Hey Perspective, turns out you actually can fix the shoulders. It’s a bit risky, but it looks pretty good in the end. Here’s the video: th-cam.com/video/0MFbzmItCTk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, I had heard that, but my criticism still stands. If the pin was a through and through then it wouldn't be risky to fix. Hasbro still done goofed.
@@PerspectiveEnd I've heard that it's because the last wave of kingdom they didn't want leaked such as the waspinator among other figures that would show up in the show later
Can barely wait to get my hands on this guy, but it'll probably be a while, because I'm definitely waiting for him to show up in stores so I can make sure he doesn't have the shoulder defect before buying.
From what I hear the ones in stores are the ones with the correct shoulders, but it's not that big a deal honestly. It's really easy to do the work around.
By the dark energon of Unicron, it's Kingdom Galvatron! The low shoulder rotation spin fix to be a bit higher is good. But who knows, probably a second run of Galvatron toys will have the high shoulder correction. Anyways, love the purple paint tone on him, it's prefect. Sure, it has battle paint scuffing. But I'll have it play out as this, originally having a light purple coat of paint. But due to the plasma bath he was in, it gave him a new coat of dark bright purple paint. And his original light purple color scheme starts to peek out due to some heavy fire blasts and hard hits over time. The scuffing on the legs, not really good. But I'll work with it. And yeah, he's big. Unicron really did upgrade and upscale Megatron. The head sculpt is cool. Better than the Netflix Earthrise show version. The goatee being unpainted, fine by me. Never really like that on Galvatron anyways. The Matrix of Leadership on the chain looks well made. And yeah, there's enough of these things in the WFC trilogy to kill Unicron ten times over. The two Revenge ship style blasters really are bigger then they look. It combining as a rail gun type of blaster, is neat. But I wish it was purple. I do wish he had better locking tabs, and for no heels. Since it's weak, or better heels. Transformation is cool, and the end result is wow. Ready, aim, fire! The cannon mode looks great, exactly what Galvatron looks like from the G1 incarnation. I do wish his cannon barrel wasn't clear plastic, but it still look cool. A purple repaint of Omega Supreme's fire blast effects would have been cool to go with him. To recreate his scene vaporizing Starscream to dust. And for extra fire power, blast effects for the Revenge ship blasters to be included too would have been cool. The War For Cybertron trilogy, leader class Galvatron, is awesome. He has got the size, the bulk, and accurate design as the reformatted leader of the Decepticons. Way better than the Prime Wars trilogy version with the headmaster gimmick. -Also yeah, it's a bad sign that the Kingdom trailer isn't out yet. Where is it Hasbro?!
Nice Rhyme at the start there. Oh we do know, the Second run of Galvatrons already does have the correct shoulders, that's why it's weird that mine are wrong because I would have assumed this was a Second Run Figure. I think the omegas fire effects are too explody, I'd want something more like a Laser Beam. Honestly I think at this point Hasbro just wants people to forget that the show exists.
@@konstantinszelcs2766 I liked Galvatron in Energon. He was angry, mad, brutal, absolute beast and power house who just wanted to duke it out with Oppy. They should have called him Galvatron in the whole english dub like they did in Super Link. Also Galvatron was just a crazy NPC in Aligned / Prime books yelling at Preceptor because he didn't understand science. This happen before the Quintessons showed up.
It was great getting to see this after a long day of work. I kinda want this figure but I already have Titans Return Galvatron and after giving him a new helmet I consider him nearly perfect. I just have a hard time seeing Kingdom Galvatron being a big enough jump in quality to justify spending $55 to replace a figure I like.
I think this is probably a big enough jump in quality to justify it, but hey don't let me talk you into something you don't want, maybe just find a way to try it out?
This is a great review. I really want to get a Kingdom Galvatron even more now. And i can't wait for Wednesday's video! Also, Perspective, there are videos on how to fix the shoulder issue for Galvatron, if you didn't know already.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, and it will be a fun one, I anticipate people telling me it's their favorite video of mine. And yes I know thank you, I've been getting messages all day about that. Thanks for looking out for me though.
This is the first vid I've watched for this dude, the beast megs plastic makes me nervous. That said I like Galvatron enough to get it and get the inevitable toy colour repaint haha
@@PerspectiveEnd I preferred your incisive expose on the absurd nature of Galvy’s weapon/ship model. Maybe they gave Galvy a model spaceship to match Megs’ model of… himself.
The marks on his boots look like if he was playing on the mud, and then he changed of shoes, but some mud was left over the sock. Thats my best try. Great video 👏👌✌🤟🤙⭐👍
I won the QC lottery. My shoulders were properly assembled. Surprised you aren’t more bothered by the pin-head proportions. It feels 30% too small to me. You’re SO right about the backpack feeling too low. It bothers me to no end. But you’re wrong about the untabbing issue. That only happens because you have chosen to leave the pyramid shaped piece hanging off the back instead of placing it in the intended position. Do that and the whole thing locks together nicely. Not as nice as the treads fit the elbows when you position them just right… god I love that feature. Just so pleasing how it fits. That is the same position you need to get the sides of the chest to lock in in cannon mode, btw. You also need to make sure the larger tabs on the body of the cannon are locking in on the back side of the folding torso assembly. It’s hard to describe, but it will make sense in hand. Finally, glad you mentioned the chest locking issue, I had the same damn problem. Took me 10 minutes to figure it out. Overall, I’d give this one top tier ranking. Up there with Cyclonus and Scourge. Great trio of of figures.
I've done thing thing where I put the pyramid above his head, and found it didn't really change anything my self. Glad you are enjoying it, and lucky you, I'm not really bent out of shape the way mine are but I would have prefered them built right. And I don't know if they head is too small or it's just the shoulders are too broad.
@@PerspectiveEnd I thought I saw people on reddit with mismatched shoulders, but I guess I miss saw it, that improves my confidence in getting this figure, thanks
@@PerspectiveEnd UPDATE: got Galvatron yesterday, it was a misassembled version, fixed it, and now the shoulder pins are facing the right way and shoulders are now correctly assembled.
I had that initial issue with Galvatron not locking together and I realized the issue is that the joints are just extremely finicky - You have to have all 3 hinges in the exact right spot and it locks great. If they are off at all, the figure will not peg together properly in Alt mode. It’s annoying but it does lock when in the right place.
@@PerspectiveEnd the 3 or so panels that are apart of Galvatron’s arm/shoulders. They must be exactly in the right position or else the arms will not lock into the chest in cannon mode. Namely I do it by locking the arms into the chest first and then peg the rest of the arm parts together.
Okay so i just learned HasTak new rules about Leader class: - Voyager sized Leader: trying to be screen accurated af, gives opening hands articulations, and bunch of accesories, Ex: ER Prime(not that accurate thou) - Small Leader: Having size between Voyager and leader, more accesories than the bigger Leader, Ex: Galvatron - Big Leader: It still not that big as the old leader but still feels like old leader class, fewer accesories, Ex: SS Grimlock I kinda get annoyed about Galvy Size at first but he actually bigger than Prime and has more accesories than Grimlock or BW Megatron. But i still wish he's not that wide or taller. Nontheless still a good figure
So is that like a list you developed, or is there some leak out there that these are their actual parameters. I think Galvatrons size is ok. It fits him well as the Powered up Megatron. But I do think that even though Wheelie sucks he's made of like 6 parts so it does kind of count as more than one Accessory.
@@Vampyr787 Weird. The good news is telling me to do that did help me realize why it was so hard to get the spike up if the back pack is already plugged in.
Ok perspectiveend. Heres an idea about the 2 revenges that galvy has. THEYRE DRONES they fly around and shoot stuff then can do a combo rail gun attack. Thats how i think of mine. Also i painted his chain gold so it looks like hes super insane with his bling. Also the revenge guns can peg onto his back with the thin slots
A very nice toy in my opinion. Also, they made a running change to the toy that fixes the shoulders. I'm going to wait a bit longer until I get this. Also, I recently got the Thrilling 30s Blitzwing and the ER Starscream. Starscream is pretty good, but Blitzwing isn't good.
I got this from BBTS, they sent me one from a batch with proper assembled shoulders and I don't have any of the tab issues. Overall he's great. He's big though which makes sense since he's a creation of unicron but I'm getting a bit tired of Hasbro making Optimus prime the smallest voyager every damn time they make one for a line. I pre-ordered the toy deco version, seen the exclusive reformatted deco on pulse but I'm like nah not interested. For the longest time I used my Unique toys "Mania king" as my stand in galvatron until this was released still a cool figure in its own right but not without it's flaws.
I'm surprised that no upgrade kit company hasn't made a shorter barrel for this guy cannon's yet. It's such a simple thing to fix! A better looking chain would be nice as well.
I have a plan for how to sort the risk of getting one with bad shoulders. There is a toy store 35-40 minutes away from my house that famously has some of the best stocked Transformers in the UK. Last trip there I got Dinobot, Bumblebee, Netflix Soundwave and Elita-1 (I know you have mixed feelings about those last three but they were a good find). The plan is to go find Galvatron and look at several on the shelf, comparing the shoulders, hoping to find one with the correct configuration so I know I'm getting the right one before I pay for it. Like I said, it has a good track record, so hopefully I'll have a lot to look at.
Nice. There basically aren't toy stores in the US at all any more, so I don't have that luxury, hope it works out for you, but even so the work around is easy and not a problem.
I think the guns or 1 of them is meant to go on the unicron stand with the other tiny fingers but that just needs 1 for display and it’s a wired looking gun. Also there is rumoured about a generations selects repaint of galvatron so maybe that would scrap the guns and give us blast effects
I mean I get One. One of those guns would make sense. But why two, that's my question. Man a Gen Selects repaint of this would be a bit strong huh. There would be a Higher expectation of that than just a Netflix.
@@PerspectiveEnd I think the rumour is it’s the light grey repaint like the original G1 toy and not sure what a Netflix figure would do. The Netflix line doesn’t have any leader repaints mainly voyagers with extra stuff thrown in, it would be nice to see one with a solid orange cannon and maybe a cleaner paint finish or they might do the Netflix megatron route and have accurate battle damage if he shows up in the show
Now anticipating Wednesday lmao. I got one of these the other day and loved him. I always hated how every Galvatron bad the canon on the bicep bc thats toy accurate but in g1 Megatron and Galvatron canons were on the forearm. So I’m so happy this is the first mainline Galvatron to allow that
I thought the exact same with transforming him and I spent 20 minutes on that stupid hinge. Then I thought ohh what is I do it the other way and it worked
Oh man you won't care when you do, and they did was reveal concept art. I think it was on the official Hasbro Pulse youtube channel but I'm not sure. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Prime works well as both a leader and voyager IMO. Prime with trailer is a leader class since you have to account for the engineering of the trailer. Prime without trailer is voyager.
There is no engineering in the trailer. It's a Box that a Toddler could design. Rectangle that splits in half isn't hard. That thing wasn't worth 1 dollar more.
I just picked up mine today, and as someone who bought the titans return Galvatron that was like the only figure I have that I call a waste of money, I was very happy with this figure especially since I got the correct shoulders.
Of course he has Megatron's face, G1 Galvatron is essentially Megatron but with a new body, always has been like this. The only difference between the two faces was the "goatee" on his chin and the lack of black eyebrows.
Well the Original plan was for this week to be entirely different and to have a WTB at the end and now I've committed to doing the crowd pleasing episode so that's going to push it back at least one more, I was hoping to try and do two a month, but I've been waylaid.
Bro, over here in oz, there is a retailer selling all kingdom leaders for $44 aud, which would be $33.02 in the us, which is less than the price than bbts. For this reason, since i cannot normally afford leaders, i will find him and i will secure it.
Great video, man! I can't wait until I get the kingdom leaders that aren't reissues or retools(including this one). You really swayed my opinion towards getting one of these.
Well I hope you like it, I mean I expect you will but there's always that chance that I've convinced someone to get something they may not care for and that would bum me out. I assume when you say I swayed you into getting one of them, you mean this one. You aren't bringing up something I said some other time right?
@@PerspectiveEnd Nope. I'm talking about Galvatrony-macaroni here. Kingdom Megatron I've wanted since it was announced. I'm going to be saving up quite a bit so I can get them...
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah. Amusingly, a friend actually told me he found a copy when I was out with my parents last night for Father’s Day. He ended up buying it for himself since I really didn’t want to make myself the focus on Father’s Day.
Someone spilled a bucket of paint on the escalator and he didn't notice before taking a ride... Apparently he was also practicing his pirouettes while going up, that's how it got onto the insides of his ankles as well.
It's a Solid figure, something weird about it that I realized is that for some reason this Glavatron has Megatrons face, that's why it's so odd looking. It's just Megatron's head in the wrong helmet.
I wish I had him early like a lot of people got him super early which baffled me extremely but also I really want to just get rid of my universe 2.0 Galvatron from years ago I hope I get the kingdom one some day though he has a few problems and for some odd reason another Matrix when Hot Rod from SS86 didn't even really need one, he has nowhere to store it lol.
Thank you so much. Do you not Know what partforming is, or why this qualifies as a Partsformer. To go through the whole Rigamrol, a Partsformer is where one part of the altmode comes off to be then reattached somewhere else. So since his cannon barrel comes off to go on his arm, then he partsforms there.
ironicly in my series, my megatron is an artilary peice, and hes a cybertronion aircraft, that wasn't even intential I just thought an artiliry peice would be a good alt mode for megatron, i legit forgot or didn't know what g1 galvatrons alt mode was.
I wish that one of the king starscreams would one day come with the 2 feet leftover from being disintergrated so I could finally really recreated Galvatron stepping on the helmet with starscreams feet in the background.
Man that sound like something a 3D printing designer should do.
@@PerspectiveEnd If only it wasn't just me interested in such a weird product. Another problem is that they'll charge like $20+ even though it'll be 3d printed chopped up earthrise starscream feet.
I wish that too
Megatron? Is that you?
It’s weird to make his ship the guns, that’s like Kingdom Optimus and Primal coming with the Ark and Axalon as sheilds

I finally figured out what happened to his ankles. Constant battle damage from having scooters smacking at his legs

@@PerspectiveEnd yknow just typically with scooters they can swing around and bash your ankles and shins and it’s really painful. Oddly happens a lot too

With the “battle damage” you can use some rubbing alcohol and some paper towel to rub it off. It comes off fairly easily.
Just don't use too strong a Rubbing Alchohol. That can eat plastics.

Now I can’t unsee his face that’s just Megatron’s face
I know. They are so distinctly different, and this is just the regular Megatron Face in a helmet that's not even the right one.
I guess they wanted to play on the idea of Megatron being Galvatron a little more with this toy. Still a nice looking figure though.

I think the head could be better, and the shoulder kibble could be a little less in the way, but it is very close to perfect yes.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah
this man hates light piping but, likes the siege battle damage look? Who hurt you?
Light piping hurt me.
@@PerspectiveEnd But, how is Siege Battle Sludge is better? It looks bad on soundwave/Blaster chests and the seekers.
I won the QC lottery. My shoulders were properly assembled. Surprised you aren’t more bothered by the pin-head proportions. It feels 30% too small to me. You’re SO right about the backpack feeling too low. It bothers me to no end. But you’re wrong about the untabbing issue. That only happens because you have chosen to leave the pyramid shaped piece hanging off the back instead of placing it in the intended position. Do that and the whole thing locks together nicely. Not as nice as the treads fit the elbows when you position them just right… god I love that feature. Just so pleasing how it fits. That is the same position you need to get the sides of the chest to lock in in cannon mode, btw. You also need to make sure the larger tabs on the body of the cannon are locking in on the back side of the folding torso assembly. It’s hard to describe, but it will make sense in hand. Finally, glad you mentioned the chest locking issue, I had the same damn problem. Took me 10 minutes to figure it out. Overall, I’d give this one top tier ranking. Up there with Cyclonus and Scourge. Great trio of of figures.
I've done thing thing where I put the pyramid above his head, and found it didn't really change anything my self.
Glad you are enjoying it, and lucky you, I'm not really bent out of shape the way mine are but I would have prefered them built right.
And I don't know if they head is too small or it's just the shoulders are too broad.
5:35 I've never heard you with so much emotion
Really? I tend to think I'm kind of a Passionate guy.
Hasbro must REALLY love this mold to leave it unaltered 3 times
best 30 dollars i spent
That's a killer price. Nice subtle price brag.
When i get Galvatron, i hope that neither or both shoulders are miss assembled for it to be symmetrical
I am not sure if there are any figures with just one. I thought it was both, both, or none. In that ratio, 2:1.
I'm pretty sure that there aren't any mismatched shoulder figures out there.
@@PerspectiveEnd I thought I saw people on reddit with mismatched shoulders, but I guess I miss saw it, that improves my confidence in getting this figure, thanks
@@PerspectiveEnd UPDATE: got Galvatron yesterday, it was a misassembled version, fixed it, and now the shoulder pins are facing the right way and shoulders are now correctly assembled.
@@evolvem2414 Glad to hear that wen well for you.
I had that initial issue with Galvatron not locking together and I realized the issue is that the joints are just extremely finicky - You have to have all 3 hinges in the exact right spot and it locks great. If they are off at all, the figure will not peg together properly in Alt mode. It’s annoying but it does lock when in the right place.
Which part are we talking about?
@@PerspectiveEnd the 3 or so panels that are apart of Galvatron’s arm/shoulders. They must be exactly in the right position or else the arms will not lock into the chest in cannon mode. Namely I do it by locking the arms into the chest first and then peg the rest of the arm parts together.
9:03 what interrupted starcream's coronation!!
I feel like you are about to tell a Joke so I'll play along.
I don't know, what did interrupt Starscream's Coronation?
I really loved this video! Thanks for uploading great content!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm thrilled that what I do here has gone over so well with so many people. Thanks for stopping bye.
Okay so i just learned HasTak new rules about Leader class:
- Voyager sized Leader: trying to be screen accurated af, gives opening hands articulations, and bunch of accesories, Ex: ER Prime(not that accurate thou)
- Small Leader: Having size between Voyager and leader, more accesories than the bigger Leader, Ex: Galvatron
- Big Leader: It still not that big as the old leader but still feels like old leader class, fewer accesories, Ex: SS Grimlock
I kinda get annoyed about Galvy Size at first but he actually bigger than Prime and has more accesories than Grimlock or BW Megatron.
But i still wish he's not that wide or taller. Nontheless still a good figure
So is that like a list you developed, or is there some leak out there that these are their actual parameters.
I think Galvatrons size is ok. It fits him well as the Powered up Megatron. But I do think that even though Wheelie sucks he's made of like 6 parts so it does kind of count as more than one Accessory.
@@PerspectiveEnd it just my developed list
Backpack does tab securely if you put back spike on the top. If it is on the back it's hinge prevents peg to peg securely.
I just tried that, it doesn't seem to work for me. It seems about the exact same up or down?
@@PerspectiveEnd So it might vary from toy to toy. It does stay securely on mine but only when the spike is up.
@@Vampyr787 Weird. The good news is telling me to do that did help me realize why it was so hard to get the spike up if the back pack is already plugged in.
Ok perspectiveend. Heres an idea about the 2 revenges that galvy has. THEYRE DRONES they fly around and shoot stuff then can do a combo rail gun attack. Thats how i think of mine. Also i painted his chain gold so it looks like hes super insane with his bling. Also the revenge guns can peg onto his back with the thin slots
That works in a silly fun way. Galvatron loves his ship so much he makes tiny copies to be his wing men.
I guess I'm gonna have to wait for an in store copy to check his shoulders.
I hear the ones making it to stores tend to be the good ones, but the shoulder problem isn't a big deal, the work around is very easy.
The pictures didn’t do this guy justice.
Didn't help that they were all with the shoulders mistransformed.
A very nice toy in my opinion. Also, they made a running change to the toy that fixes the shoulders. I'm going to wait a bit longer until I get this. Also, I recently got the Thrilling 30s Blitzwing and the ER Starscream. Starscream is pretty good, but Blitzwing isn't good.
Yeah, I've heard that the Thrilling 30 was terrible.
It's weird that mine isn't one of the newer ones, it was just stocked.
@@PerspectiveEnd I guess you just got unlucky with Galvatron
I got this from BBTS, they sent me one from a batch with proper assembled shoulders and I don't have any of the tab issues. Overall he's great. He's big though which makes sense since he's a creation of unicron but I'm getting a bit tired of Hasbro making Optimus prime the smallest voyager every damn time they make one for a line.
I pre-ordered the toy deco version, seen the exclusive reformatted deco on pulse but I'm like nah not interested. For the longest time I used my Unique toys "Mania king" as my stand in galvatron until this was released still a cool figure in its own right but not without it's flaws.
Yeah he needs to stop being a small voyager they are calling a leader.
Man that Mania King looks weird.
I'm surprised that no upgrade kit company hasn't made a shorter barrel for this guy cannon's yet. It's such a simple thing to fix! A better looking chain would be nice as well.
Awesome video Perspective End!!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.
Galvitron can be used as ER Scorponoks giant gun.
Looks very good. Apart from the shoulders. Good video. Keep it up!!!
Honestly the shoulders aren't even that much of a problem.
i got my galvatron from big bad in MAY! it was nuts and i was so happy to get him months early
Man that is absurdly fast.
His fists look like he is about to give one of his own soldiers a middle finger
Yeah the middle one sure is sticking out weirdly.
3.1k subscribers perspective this is good stuff congrats
Thank you very much, you guys are the best and I can't believe how luck I ma to have you all.
@@PerspectiveEnd am not ma
I love everything about the toy...Except for the head.
Yeah it's all good except for the head.
Yep.
Even im tired of the matrixes now
That's what I've been trying to say for so long now.
I have a plan for how to sort the risk of getting one with bad shoulders. There is a toy store 35-40 minutes away from my house that famously has some of the best stocked Transformers in the UK. Last trip there I got Dinobot, Bumblebee, Netflix Soundwave and Elita-1 (I know you have mixed feelings about those last three but they were a good find). The plan is to go find Galvatron and look at several on the shelf, comparing the shoulders, hoping to find one with the correct configuration so I know I'm getting the right one before I pay for it. Like I said, it has a good track record, so hopefully I'll have a lot to look at.
Nice. There basically aren't toy stores in the US at all any more, so I don't have that luxury, hope it works out for you, but even so the work around is easy and not a problem.
I think the guns or 1 of them is meant to go on the unicron stand with the other tiny fingers but that just needs 1 for display and it’s a wired looking gun. Also there is rumoured about a generations selects repaint of galvatron so maybe that would scrap the guns and give us blast effects
I mean I get One. One of those guns would make sense. But why two, that's my question.
Man a Gen Selects repaint of this would be a bit strong huh. There would be a Higher expectation of that than just a Netflix.
@@PerspectiveEnd I think the rumour is it’s the light grey repaint like the original G1 toy and not sure what a Netflix figure would do. The Netflix line doesn’t have any leader repaints mainly voyagers with extra stuff thrown in, it would be nice to see one with a solid orange cannon and maybe a cleaner paint finish or they might do the Netflix megatron route and have accurate battle damage if he shows up in the show
The return of the king (4th)
4th? You've said that more that four times. Like at least 5 times.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh no i meant 4th as in the 4th comment
"He will rip open Ultra Magnus and any other autobot until the matrix has been destroyed!"
He will rip open Ultra Magnus, and any other Aubtobot, who doesn't have such fresh Shoulder Pylons.
@@PerspectiveEnd birthday in 6 days :D
@@razorshark6790 Congratulations.
Now anticipating Wednesday lmao. I got one of these the other day and loved him. I always hated how every Galvatron bad the canon on the bicep bc thats toy accurate but in g1 Megatron and Galvatron canons were on the forearm. So I’m so happy this is the first mainline Galvatron to allow that
I'm glad for that too. Toy loyalty is often the dumbest thing imaginable. Anyways, I'm happy you are enjoying the figure.
I wish I had room for an 86 cast shelf. I really REALLY want this thing
I get that feel. My shelves are choking. If you can swing it you should.
Galvatron makes a great joker, he's insane, a bad guy, and he has a purple getup, now all he needs is bat mode optimus primal to fight against
FREE ENGAGEMENT!!!
I thought the exact same with transforming him and I spent 20 minutes on that stupid hinge. Then I thought ohh what is I do it the other way and it worked
Yeah, it's a little confusing.
Wednesday’s review: Kingdom Leader Optimus Prime
Oh yeah, totally. totally. 100%
question: what is the "kingdom trailer reveal stream" that people keep talking about, and where can I find it
Oh man you won't care when you do, and they did was reveal concept art. I think it was on the official Hasbro Pulse youtube channel but I'm not sure. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Prime works well as both a leader and voyager IMO.
Prime with trailer is a leader class since you have to account for the engineering of the trailer.
Prime without trailer is voyager.
There is no engineering in the trailer. It's a Box that a Toddler could design. Rectangle that splits in half isn't hard. That thing wasn't worth 1 dollar more.
I really want to get this when It becomes more widely avalable, and I plan to get some purple cloth for starscream and recreate the coronation murder
Just like I did! And yeah waiting is probably the good idea that way you get the proper shoulders.
I just picked up mine today, and as someone who bought the titans return Galvatron that was like the only figure I have that I call a waste of money, I was very happy with this figure especially since I got the correct shoulders.
Nice! And yea that TR figure definitely had one of the worst Ideas I've ever seen.
I hate being dramatic here but this galvatron figure quickly became on my favorite figures in my collection
I can’t stop enjoying this figure
It's a really cool one.
@@PerspectiveEndyup
BEHOLD, GALVATORN! I love it but the head ok to me.
The head is odd.
Honestly, I'm far more interested in the G1 toy coloured version which
has been confirmed. That's my preferred paintjob for ol' crown scalp.
Really the normal main line version is not the one you want. You don't say?
@@PerspectiveEnd Lol. What can I say? I love me some Marvel UK Galv!
Gotta say galvatrons alt mode always looks funny to me
Yeah as a Kid I despised it. Now it's just something from my childhood.
Have you considered posing both of the figures hands on each peg of the two spaceship guns stuck together
I didn't try that no, but one of my twitter followers did, and it apparently didn't work.
😞there goes that idea
@@mistermadmachine6311 I'm just going off what I was told. It may be wrong.
😃really
Of course he has Megatron's face, G1 Galvatron is essentially Megatron but with a new body, always has been like this. The only difference between the two faces was the "goatee" on his chin and the lack of black eyebrows.
I always thought their faces looked more different than that.
When is the next whats the best?
Well the Original plan was for this week to be entirely different and to have a WTB at the end and now I've committed to doing the crowd pleasing episode so that's going to push it back at least one more, I was hoping to try and do two a month, but I've been waylaid.
@@PerspectiveEnd when you do another what’s the best you should do it on what’s the best grimlock (that you own)
Bro, over here in oz, there is a retailer selling all kingdom leaders for $44 aud, which would be $33.02 in the us, which is less than the price than bbts. For this reason, since i cannot normally afford leaders, i will find him and i will secure it.
Nice. I wish we had a sweat deal like that over here
I bet someone's gonna make Gap Fillers for the shoulders
Probably. That will be the easier solution than finding a way to remove that pin.
Great video, man! I can't wait until I get the kingdom leaders that aren't reissues or retools(including this one). You really swayed my opinion towards getting one of these.
Well I hope you like it, I mean I expect you will but there's always that chance that I've convinced someone to get something they may not care for and that would bum me out.
I assume when you say I swayed you into getting one of them, you mean this one. You aren't bringing up something I said some other time right?
@@PerspectiveEnd Nope. I'm talking about Galvatrony-macaroni here. Kingdom Megatron I've wanted since it was announced. I'm going to be saving up quite a bit so I can get them...
@@Firebyte27 Kingdom Megs is a huge recommend from me.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah. Amusingly, a friend actually told me he found a copy when I was out with my parents last night for Father’s Day. He ended up buying it for himself since I really didn’t want to make myself the focus on Father’s Day.
@@Firebyte27 Your friend was with YOUR parent's for Father's day?
2:51 it’s from the brush’s on the side of the escalator
Someone spilled a bucket of paint on the escalator and he didn't notice before taking a ride... Apparently he was also practicing his pirouettes while going up, that's how it got onto the insides of his ankles as well.
hell yeah, this is going to be an amazing pick up
It is a very solid figure, I do think it will pleas you if you get it.
@@PerspectiveEnd got it for 10 Australian dollars discount off of Amazon, should be arriving on the holidays.
thanks bro this is the best review i have ever seen!
Damn I should have ordered on Bigbad. My Ark still says he is coming in in Sep. This Galvatron seems like a badass. i wants a galvatron now.
It's a Solid figure, something weird about it that I realized is that for some reason this Glavatron has Megatrons face, that's why it's so odd looking. It's just Megatron's head in the wrong helmet.
I wish I had him early like a lot of people got him super early which baffled me extremely but also I really want to just get rid of my universe 2.0 Galvatron from years ago I hope I get the kingdom one some day though he has a few problems and for some odd reason another Matrix when Hot Rod from SS86 didn't even really need one, he has nowhere to store it lol.
Yeah that Galvatron of yours is real long in the tooth, and this is definitely going to be a good replacement.
And I know, I'm so sick of Matrixs.
People like reviewers stole copies from factories.
Why do I get the feeling that Wednesday's review is gonna be on Kingdom Rodimus, and it'll less of a review than something akin to a public execution?
Who knows, maybe?
Maybe the legacy one will get rid of these joint problems.
Hopefully.
8:20 monkeys paw? Did somebody call Optimus primal over?
He's no monkey. He's an ape.
I love this thing
Glad you are enjoying it so much.
@@PerspectiveEnd thank you
I really love this thing so much I want the others in his group like scourge and cyclonus
My galvatrons paint is finally starting to chip
Sorry to hear that.
@@PerspectiveEnd it had one hell of a run so still love the figure
I think you know why his cannon is clear.
ToY lOyAlTy
You are correct sir, and it's dumb.
I saw an image a while back, where the cannon was inserted into the visible pin hole in robot mode. Don't know if it'll work now.
I tried it, it works, but you lose access to basically the whole arm.
@@PerspectiveEnd Just like the G1 Galvatron toy...
@@samhenderson6474 That's a selling point to some people.
amazing review really like your channel
but i dont get why you called him a partsformer
Thank you so much.
Do you not Know what partforming is, or why this qualifies as a Partsformer.
To go through the whole Rigamrol, a Partsformer is where one part of the altmode comes off to be then reattached somewhere else.
So since his cannon barrel comes off to go on his arm, then he partsforms there.
How is everyone getting him already? IDK I'm stoked, he looks awesome!
Most of them are coming off the BBTs, some are being found in stores and those seem to be the ones with the correct shoulders.
@@PerspectiveEnd Huh, I'll have to go toy hunting soon.
ironicly in my series, my megatron is an artilary peice, and hes a cybertronion aircraft, that wasn't even intential I just thought an artiliry peice would be a good alt mode for megatron, i legit forgot or didn't know what g1 galvatrons alt mode was.
_the Barney megatron cometh_
Na that's already here, the big purple Dinosaur has been around since wave one.
I need a Matrix of Leadership.
Man there are so many it hurts me, it's almost harder to get a figure that doesn't have one that it is to get one.
@@PerspectiveEnd well I already have an Optimus Prime, Galvatron, and Hot Rod I like. So I have no intention of getting another one.
The Comic Edition Straxus uses this mold. What do you think of it?
