Im glad they did a running change variant in the package refresh to Galvatron to fix those shoulders & remove the scuffing from the Legacy version. Saved me a bunch of work. It's nice to wait without having FOMO.
Great review, I have the figure... thankfully the one I bought had the correct shoulders when I bought it. I did remove the battle damage, though. This is pretty much the Galvatron toy I've wanted since seeing the Movie in theaters way back in the summer of 86.
Meanwhile, my Galvatron is still on backorder with target. This is the second time in a row they've done that. I like the fix, but I'm thinking I'm just gonna flip the arms.
This guy's still shelfwarming here surprisingly (at least the Legacy reissue is), not sure if Hasbro overstocked or people just don't want to pay Leader price. Either way, easily the best official Galvatron they've ever done (and a huge step up from my Universe Galvatron lol) I know this is an older review but FYI if you haven't seen it: for cannon mode, there's a tab on each of the detached side pieces right below the black shoulder blocks that plugs into notches on either side of the bottom of the purple chest plate. If you tab those together, it makes the front of the cannon more stable and lets him roll better.
I have just bought it. And somehow it looks for me better with shoulders low... more anatomicaly correct. when i put them higher it looked like doing shrugs... 😉
Same exact thing happened to me, I ordered an Earthrise Starscream from Amazon, and mine also showed up crushed. I actually showed mine off in a video on my channel
i held off buying a galvatron with a disassembled shoulders. im hoping the fixed one comes out. but im growing tired of waiting. i might have to do the fix. but it doesnt look too bad, just the patience to do it
I do hope that with this War For Cybertron triology wrapping up, Hasbro gets over their fixation with 'battle damage' paint apps. That said, Galvatron's isn't as bad as other figures. It's not crapstain colored, for one. The lighter blue-purple shade makes it look more like paint having worn off or been scraped away, and considering where Galvatron comes from in the Netflix series, makes some manner of sense that he'd be worn out looking.
My Tracks copy came in flawless is it my lucky moment, Tigatron and Galvatron oh boy did they nail it or what?? I passed on Ratrap but dunno about Rhinox yet, to follow i guess....
Fantastic review! Galvatron just beat cyclonus for me for kingdom figure of the year he is just that perfect! Especially when you remove the muck off him and his shoulders are fixed
I wonder if the Toyhax set will feature a darkened in goatee/chin label for him like they did for Cyclonus. Would be accurate to some animation cells. Great review bud.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Yeah I've been seriously considering taking my finest tipped brush and giving Cyclonus a goatee myself using some Citadel Abaddon base black paint (which is the highest quality cause it generally doesn't chip/wear easy, and is only $5 a pot).
Hey PPR maybe you said but I missed it. Do you prefer this version over the Titans return and if so what was the detail that made you like this one more ?

I cleaned mine up after seeing your video. He looks great. I haven't wanted to do that to anyone more than him. I might do Springer next..
Still on the hunt. Easily a must get for sure and fix is worth it.
Awesome review.

Right on
Great review and comparison Patriot Prime!!
Is that Rodimus in the background?! When are we getting the review for him? Can't wait to hear your take on him!
Soon, I just got him.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews I’d love a double feature review with Rodimus and Galvatron together.
Ignore this comment I just pulled a brain fart lol
Behold!! Galvatron!!💪🏼💪🏼😎

Did the shoulder fix on mine and will be doing the paint removal. Went ahead and ordered a second one to display in cannon mode.

Sorry I missed the premier ...but I'm watching now! 😃
All good
😁
Kool comparison. Hope my Gen Sel Galvatron looks as good

Gotta burn those Delts. LOL.
All Galvatron needed was a light up canon with sound effects.

Thank you so much for the shoulder fix PPR - mine looks great!!!
You are so welcome!
In the end , the fix is all down to personnal preference.
Just got him today. Definitely a major improvement over the Titans Return version.

That was a great review, Can't wait to open my Galvatron!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@PatriotPrimeReviews How trustworthy is smythstoys.com? They have Siege Jetfire/Skyfire for retail... Seems suspicious though..
I've never used them.
@@BurntTM With a 64% bad reviews on trustpilot, I'd avoid them.
@@RazyelKayneReviews Alright thanks Raz!

He would've beat Cyclonus for me if I didn't have to put all of the extra work into him.
Looks great but I'm getting the grey selects one
Me too.
I hadn't noticed that after so many videos you still hadn't done a review of the figure haha
I needed him just right.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews It was worth the wait
I wonder if the Toyhax set will feature a darkened in goatee/chin label for him like they did for Cyclonus. Would be accurate to some animation cells.
Great review bud.
If not...Sharpie to the Rescue. That's what I did for the TR one.

Hey Patriot I love your channel, I wanted to ask, is it official that we know from Hasbro that it’s been misassembled? Sorry if this old news.
Awesome review.
Glad you enjoyed it
Broly: I have the legacy galvatron and i cel shade it
Yessir
Hey PPR maybe you said but I missed it. Do you prefer this version over the Titans return and if so what was the detail that made you like this one more ?
This one's way more solid than the TR one plus...No Headmaster, no jet mode, and no flip-up Scuba Mask.
Couldn’t you have just put the new copy into the old box and send it back so you keep the one you put time into?
Who said I didn't? ;)
Did you actually return the first GALVATRON you cleaned up, and modified?
Or did you Simply return the smashed up box with the other figure?
LOL!
Smashed box with other figure.
