I got Galvatron today and I have to say he sucks, he just sucks so much. Its over complicated the joints are weak transforming him parts fall off and there’s parts that transform that make no sense. like the hook on the his shoulder, what’s that for, and the little lags that come out his back that don’t do anything. The one good part (the gun arm) has its flaws in robot mode it cant be pointed up cuz the shoulder hit’s the junk on its back.

I could forgive Galvatron for being a tank I though it was kinda cool like a tribute to gen2 megs but all the stuff wrong whit it, I’m so disappointed.

Sorry I just wanted to vent any way

The worst transformer you ever got

I would have to strongly agree that Galvatron is by far one of the worst of the Universe/Classics. I will go as far to say he's the worst Transformer ever. On top of what BogiePop has stated, He is near impossible to stand and he is incredibly short.

His cannon mode was rather Tank-like so making him a tank makes sense, I like his look in both modes but...

Lets face it, the flaws are definitely there. His part don't hook the way they are supposed to, he falls to peices, and there a more than a few items on him that don't make any sense. I had to unscrew his arm to put one of his arms.

An answer to the "extra" Parts that don't make sense:

Quote:

5.) What is the hook for on Universe Galvatron's shoulder (the piece is gray and unfolds from another purple folding piece) ? And the fold out shoulder 'legs/feet'? Can you show us the conceptualized use of these features?

HASBRO- Initially, Galvatron was being designed as a triple changer and was actually going to be in a larger class. But once the decision was made to put Galvatron in Deluxe, his third "walker tank" mode was dropped. Because of molding reasons we had to leave some of those extra pieces in there. Here's the initial sketch and idea for the third mode. (see attached)

Galvatron is way fiddly, I'll admit, but he'll never overtake Armada Sideswipe as Worst Figure Ever.

I agree, honestly... Galvatron should have stayed a Voyager-class. Having him as deluxe was just... stupid. :/

But... I dunno. as long as I just leave him in a basic standing pose, it's not so bad. *shrug*
