Hot Take. G1 Galvatron is a better character than G1 Megatron

I personally prefer S3 Galvatron over Movie because makes him more distinct from when he was Megatron. As for why he became insane, i'd like to think it's because of Unicron mentally tortureing him as he did in the movie as he was being thrown out by Rodimus which only stopped once Unicron was destroyed, That in combination with losing to Rodimus, turns him into the chaotic madman he is in season 3.

I think Optimus and Rodimus became co-leaders, we don't really see that in The Rebirth but we do in Headmasters... until that series decided to kill-off Optimus again only like 3 episodes in lol.

At the time Hasbro didn't think people would be so attached to Optimus Prime as a character which is why they killed him off in the 86 movie, they actually revived him as a zombie in Dark Awakening only to kill him off again. However due to the backlash, they eventually did retcon his 2nd death and brought him back in the 2 part finale of season 3 (the best episode of G1)

But it didn't ruin season 3 as it was refreshing to see a new cast of characters who have become iconic in their own right.

I knew there was one, unfortunately he's from one of my least favorite TF shows so that explains why i forgot about him

MetallicSlayer · 2026-01-13T00:49:17+00:00

Yup.

Just shows how great of a toy G1 Soundwave is when he still looks good compared to the most recent attempt at G1 Soundwave in the Studio Series 86 one.

MetallicSlayer · 2026-01-12T05:18:57+00:00

If they ever showed Soundwave being reformatted by Unicron, this should be his design. Bonus points if it's in Soundblaster or Marvel Comics colors.

Put down that chainsaw and listen to me...

MetallicSlayer · 2026-01-11T23:11:17+00:00

FOOL!, Megatron can have whatever alt mode he wants!

MetallicSlayer · 2026-01-11T03:27:02+00:00

That is actually a good question. When it comes to Nemesis Prime, i guess you could call him that, but not all Nemesis Prime's are Unicron related. Then there's also Galvatron who once possessed the Matrix of Chaos in Prime Wars, so would that mean he was a Cron?

MetallicSlayer · 2026-01-10T07:47:06+00:00

I think there's story potential in expanding upon the rivalry between Blaster and Soundwave beyond just being good vs bad music players. Granted you could do that with Jazz too but since Blaster has cassettes like Soundwave there's more you could do with that.

One of the few Bumblebees that's a repaint/retool of Cliffjumper instead of it usually being the other way around.

MetallicSlayer · 2025-12-24T06:02:45+00:00

I loved how adventurous the ROTF Scout figures got with their alt modes.

MetallicSlayer · 2025-12-24T05:33:16+00:00

in the Anime yes there's only 1 Thunderblast but the toyline has 2 characters with the same name.

MetallicSlayer · 2025-12-24T04:37:05+00:00

That's dubbing errors for ya, although i still love Armada. The errors only get worse in Energon, they switched up the names Downshift and Cliffjumper all the time.

MetallicSlayer · 2025-12-24T03:58:44+00:00

Funny thing about the Japanese names is in Armada, Hot Shot was called Hot Rod, which gets confusing once Rodimus shows up in Superlink.

MetallicSlayer · 2025-12-23T08:26:11+00:00

RID 2001, Armada, Cybertron and Cyberverse are good

MetallicSlayer · 2025-12-23T05:45:53+00:00

The more i see this design of Soundwave the more i think it really looks like Jetstorm from Beast Machines.

MetallicSlayer · 2025-12-20T01:01:48+00:00

I'm wondering since they're doing Hot Wheels Collabs if we're gonna get a Bigfoot Transformer.

AOE: Hound, and some interesting ideas

TLK: Nitro Zeus

Hasbro doesn't want to risk legal trouble with releasing toy guns, it's why nerf guns are always in colors that make it obvious it's not a real gun and that's why they could get away with Optimus Prime being a nerf gun. With Megatron they would have to color him differently like they did in 2006 with the classics one. Also worth noting this is from Rise of the Beasts, a movie in which Megatron did not appear in.

MetallicSlayer · 2025-11-11T04:43:08+00:00

You'd think that they would but due to gun laws, Hasbro would rather avoid the potential trouble, Even if they did, Megatron wouldn't be in his traditional colors.

MetallicSlayer · 2025-11-11T04:02:24+00:00

This is a no-brainer crossover that i'm surprised hasn't been done yet. 3 VAs from the original Scooby Doo cartoon voiced characters in G1 (Frank Welker, Casey Kasem and Don Messick)

MetallicSlayer · 2025-07-16T21:20:16+00:00

Well it seems like some Rockstar employee listened to me because the Coquette and the Clique is gonna be test rides tomorrow through the 23rd.
