I had this when I was a kid. loved it. don't remember the sounds being so crazy but it took alot of begging to get it. My grandmother ordered it finally. My older brother stepped on him broke off his arm and I wigged out and cut his arm with a curtain rod. it was the closest weapon to me so had to make it work. ahh the memories
Fun fact with G1 Galvatron's sound switch. The 3-way switch can actually be set in between the first and second and second and third positions to get two more sounds that are sort of like combined versions of the other two.
My grandma: (is continuously talking to me against my will) Me: Hey, Galvatron, what’s the most annoying sound you can make? Galvatron: *B E B E B E B E B E B E B E B E B E* Me: Keep going. That’s so much better.
After checking my sub box and seeing this, I couldn't be more excited to see one of my favorite reviewers covering one of my favorite G1 characters. And the object of the review was a G1 toy, no less! Little did I know how deeply I would regret wearing headphones while watching this
It's too bad I don't think Hasbro will ever take the Japanese G1 Galvatron reissue with cartoon colors and Matrix and release it here with an American voice chip. It would be hilarious to have a G1 Galvatron reissue that screams out things like "WHO DISTURBS MY PLASMA BATH?!" and "please meet your end with dignity. I despise whiners!"
Hmm I just realized that a lot of the reviewers that rarely reviews G1 stuff have been reviewing them lately since the announcement of the Titan Returns line. Peaugh also reviewed his G1 Skullcruncher cause he was hyped about the Generations deluxe one. I'm guessing people are cashing it on trying to review old stuff for the hype. Well I still welcome G1 reviews cause I rarely see them from decent reviewers.
+emgo316 I still welcome older figure reviews too. It seems like no one wants to do older figures since they've "been done." But most people who reviewed older figures did so before HD was a thing on youtube and who wants to watch reviews in 240p?!
emgo316 Well it's going to look that way when you suddenly decide to review a toy that will have a Titan Returns version on top of saying you reviewed it and you broke a certain "code." And I do welcome g1 reviews like I said and there is nothing wrong to doing it; just the timing seem suspicious and all.
+lanoche this is just in response to people having this imaginary time limit for when a toy can be reviewed so I figured I'd be 30 years late on this one lol. Plus I LOVE GALVATRON!
"I think I would make that same noise if you pushed a button in my crotch". I probably didn't quote that exactly, but the essential hilarity of it still stands.
holy crap, he transforms almost exactly like the newest toy does(obviously with differences, but its basically the same.) i love how hasbro does this with these toys over the ages.
(Hears the toy noises) Parents of five-year-olds during the 80's must've IMMEDIATELY regretted putting batteries in this thing! Also: I cannot help but feel partly responsible for my comment about EmGo's lateness when it came to reviewing DC Collectables Flash (since I realized he used that figure in the SXS Overclocker review end skit over four months back) may have contributed to the audio torture portion of this review. I felt like after Cyclonus heard Galvatron's 'angry noise', Cyc could've said: "I'd hate to hear his happy noise..." only to be immediately followed by one of the other noises! Great review, as always!
+emgo316 aww, now I don't have to ask what the late reference is from. I'll just say good review. it was fun seeing this toy finally in motion. I had the chance to get it from a corner store when I was younger for $20 but $20 may as well be $1,000 when you're 12 years old and don't have a job.
I remember seeing this Galvatron outside of his box on a KMart and transforming it way back in the day. One of the better G1 toys of that year, IMO. 😄 I _really_ hope Studio 86 covers him.
I really enjoy your G1 reviews since it is my favorite Transformers line and you are arguably the best transformers reviewer on TH-cam so please do as much G1 reviews as possible
Hey Emgo, I have been subscribed to you Since the ROTF Human Alliance Bumblebee review, and I just want to ask one thing from you. Can you PRETTY PLEASE review Transformers Animated Shockwave, thank you so much if you do, that would mean so much to me!
Another great review :) I couldn't stop laughing over "This is my angry noise" :) hahahaha. Anyways, hope to see some more G1 reviews sooner rather than later from ya. Have a great day and thanks for the laughs
Oh my god i FORGOT HOW ANNOYING THOSE SOUNDS WERE!!!! I did the same shit yo!!! I kept those batteries AWAY from this toy cuz of those sounds. Lol. GREAT VIDEO!
I'm amazed after 33 years that Galvatron still makes any sounds, I had mine until 2014 hadn't made a sound since 1999 but back in the day those sounds were much more acceptable same happened with GI Joe Sonic Fighters too.
He looks pretty good. And we all need more Galvertron, and g1 is the best for Galvertron. They probably should have placed the button in a better place I think but you get what you get. Great review emgo, keep up the awesome work.
So that's who that gun belongs to, i've had that gun floating around my house since I was a kid, still do somewhere it will turn up soon always does. I never could remember who it came with.
I think you should do G1 and older figure reviews when ever you like. I still collect them, and you can't always find reviews for some of them or then you find one and wish you hadn't. You also don't usually get instructions when you buy older figures. I had to look up several reviews on one figure to get it correctly transformed and if I would have followed the first review I had found it would have broke and almost did. It was your review on The RID Omega Prime that helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. I have been a loyal fan ever since. :)
The sounds your Galvie makes aren't quite the original sounds he's supposed to make. The middle one is the one that sounds like it's supposed to albeit a little overpowered.
new lore for galvatron. he is not insane because of plasma pools, he is insane because every time he fires his cannon the horrible noise drives him into complete madness.
Thank god that laser is threw a camera feed, if was there when he played the laser sound, I would have bleeding ears and...uhh....be dead.............yeah
$27.99 in '86 money translates to $60.44 in 2014 dollars.
Not bad, Emgo!
He looks more like a man cosplaying as a castle! 🏰
lol
Galvatron looks like a medieval knight robot.
This is actually funny
All G1 designs looks like humans dressed as robots.
@@yourmom9200 lol

I loved this story, u should make ur brother pay compensation and get u a new one lol 😂
Lol the "wigged out" part is funny lol it happens tho
You are vicious and possibly mentally unstable…….i approve and like your style.
And now I'm off to the hospital....bleeding ears...
"I'm sorry."
No, you're not.
Never too late to review the classics. Love the review. I'd love to see a G1 Sixshot review.
Everyone get headphones, put them on full volume, then skip to 5:19.
Too noisy
5:19 RIP headphone users
+Foober Dooge i'm ok.
yep worst mistake lol
Foober Dooge 👎
*WHAT?!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!*
WHAT? MY EARS ARE STILL BLEEDING!

Sounds like a gumball reference.
That's my ANGRY noise! I don't know why, but that really cracked me up!
+darthdevious me to
Unicorn must have wanted to humiliate Megs by giving him such puny forearms.
8:59 I have to make that into my new ringtone

G1 Galvatron, the cell phone gun. XD
lol
This is bad comedy
I half expected to hear "the national weather service has issued a...." After the third noise
i'd like to see more g1 reviews.
+TFA1024 - The Transformers Addict hi, tfa
+joshua slosser chat to me on my stuff lol.
kay. i see you are am emgo fan. so am i!
Yeah
ME TOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁
It's too bad I don't think Hasbro will ever take the Japanese G1 Galvatron reissue with cartoon colors and Matrix and release it here with an American voice chip.
It would be hilarious to have a G1 Galvatron reissue that screams out things like "WHO DISTURBS MY PLASMA BATH?!" and "please meet your end with dignity. I despise whiners!"

+lanoche not cashing in on anything. I just wanted to review it. must there always be some ulterior motive?

My brother found me a floppy mess of a Galvatron at a Goodwill in 1995. I'm just now getting around to patching it up. Great review.
"I think I would make that same noise if you pushed a button in my crotch". I probably didn't quote that exactly, but the essential hilarity of it still stands.
It does hurt. My grandmother snapped this in half cause I kept it on the center switch and did exactly what emgo is doing
4:12 my cat ran out of the room while crapping itself. thanks a lot Emgo! I just cleaned that floor!
This Galvatron was very energy efficient. I had the same 9 volt battery in mine for ten years.
holy crap, he transforms almost exactly like the newest toy does(obviously with differences, but its basically the same.)
i love how hasbro does this with these toys over the ages.
That angry noise might have just pop a ear drum or two of mine...hahaha
(Hears the toy noises) Parents of five-year-olds during the 80's must've IMMEDIATELY regretted putting batteries in this thing!

g-gasp! A g1 toy review that dosent look like it was filmed by a potato?! And its Galvatron?! INTANT LIKE :D
That would look perfect side-by-side with Transformers Selects Galvatron!
I remember seeing this Galvatron outside of his box on a KMart and transforming it way back in the day. One of the better G1 toys of that year, IMO. 😄
I _really_ hope Studio 86 covers him.

g1 never is old
Thank you for making me shout "emgo stahp" at my tv XD
the extra gun is the gun he assembled during his stay at the planet Torkulon
is funny how they preserv the idea than you have to touch his cronch if you wanna play with him, truly a villian
I'm old enough to remember Kay-Bee. Yay >_
No you're not
Another great review :) I couldn't stop laughing over "This is my angry noise" :) hahahaha. Anyways, hope to see some more G1 reviews sooner rather than later from ya. Have a great day and thanks for the laughs
Great review. I loved the skit at the end XD LOL. "That's my angry noise!"XD
Dude I am loving the different things you are reviewing
The most times we saw Galvatron in this mode was IN SPACE!
60 bucks and 50 percent less plastic. Probably pretty close...
if you take the battery out, a nebulon will fit in there. gort was kept captive for a long time in there
The sound effects sounds like what it feels like to have an electric shock
Jeez this guy is crazier than ever.
i get the impression from the "city commander" subtitle he was meant to scale with magnus.
I had that for my 9th birthday in 1986
Me too.. at christmas, when open the gift and saw the purple color i just think, this is wrong and finally appear Galvatron... sad moment
The truth is the gun sound is Galvatron screaming in agony
Not that often that the G1 toy isn't the precious one. Galvatron was a big boy.
Geez, even his evil plans are 80's.
I just realised that this toy looks a little like the bayverse galvatron
Oh my god i FORGOT HOW ANNOYING THOSE SOUNDS WERE!!!! I did the same shit yo!!! I kept those batteries AWAY from this toy cuz of those sounds. Lol. GREAT VIDEO!
I still have this after 29 years and he still works.
I actually like partsforming
that is why his rival is Ultra Magnus XD
I don't know, most toy reviews don't make me laugh, but emgos do, that's what makes him unique I guess...
5:27 I can assure you that it does indeed hurt
That is a TRUE death ray! OMG the noise!
A power drill on steel is less annoying than these sound effects. 🙉
THE WORLD NEEDS MORE GALVATRON!!!
8:15
I guess you could say
He's got the touch?
15:02-15:10 " stop it ! Stop that hideous noise ! You wanna scream ?! I'll give you something to scream about ! "
THE WORLD NEEDS MORE GALVATRON AND MEGATON!!!!!!
I'm amazed after 33 years that Galvatron still makes any sounds, I had mine until 2014 hadn't made a sound since 1999 but back in the day those sounds were much more acceptable same happened with GI Joe Sonic Fighters too.
G1 galvatron was such a fun toy back in the day.
Thank goodness for close captioning, Because after the first part of this video, I WAS DEAF!!!
Curse you Galvatron, and your "angry" noises!
You are awesome and it is never too late....
Hey emgo136 I think your reviews are rolling out to greatness lol !!☺
He looks pretty good. And we all need more Galvertron, and g1 is the best for Galvertron. They probably should have placed the button in a better place I think but you get what you get. Great review emgo, keep up the awesome work.
2:29 we're about to see how well this ages
That sound makes Galvatron sound like a house phone ringing with both sounds.
So that's who that gun belongs to, i've had that gun floating around my house since I was a kid, still do somewhere it will turn up soon always does. I never could remember who it came with.
It would've been so funny if Optimus decided to punch Galvatron where the button is placed. LOL
See his Planet X MORS (Starscream) review for the appropriate sound.. 🤣
Do more G1 thank you
is anyone else's eyes burning from this?
his first sound sounds like one of those old anoying ringtones
Thanks for the great review! Greetings from frankonia!
I just now noticed that this guy's head looks like megatron's with screamer's crown
I love Emgo's Transformers reviews, they are the reason i have my own Transformers collection.
its never to late to review g1 figures
I think you should do G1 and older figure reviews when ever you like. I still collect them, and you can't always find reviews for some of them or then you find one and wish you hadn't. You also don't usually get instructions when you buy older figures.

It was your review on The RID Omega Prime that helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. I have been a loyal fan ever since. :)
I don't think I remember mine making those sounds, but it has been about 20 years since mine even had batteries in it....or all of the pieces.
The sounds your Galvie makes aren't quite the original sounds he's supposed to make. The middle one is the one that sounds like it's supposed to albeit a little overpowered.
I love this guy that always plays with transformers. :)
Really hoping they do a Retro TFTM cartoon-accurate G1 Galvatron like they did pink G1 Hot Rod.
Says "This noise will haunt your dreams" then proceeds to play the SHIT out of the noise over and over and over and ....
Thanks man. i Just scored Galvatron off ebay for pennies on the dollar and couldn't figure out how to get the head to pop up. subscribed and liked
Please please please! keep the angry noise for future skit! XD
I have headphones on at full blast,wish me luck
Emgo... Why you do this to my ears you madman
emgo don't question the logic of g1 transformers with extra guns
new lore for galvatron. he is not insane because of plasma pools, he is insane because every time he fires his cannon the horrible noise drives him into complete madness.
even the phone book from 30 years ago
I just looked up an inflation calculator, and yeah, today he WOULD cost $60, because that's how much $28 would be worth today!
SCREW YOU EMGO!!!!! Also love these g1 reviews. Hope you redo the older ones tho. Really hard to see detail on a phone
Thank god that laser is threw a camera feed, if was there when he played the laser sound, I would have bleeding ears and...uhh....be dead.............yeah
My ears have officially exploded lol
I don't get why people frown on G1 reviews.
Do more if you have time.
brings back happy memories.
If you thrown that I would've been LIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!!
Dx9 Tyrant (the big one) is basically an upgrade to the old toy. As such, I would love a repaint of it in G1 colour scheme.
iggiggii!! thats my angry noise. I died laughing and watched it again
