BAD COMEDY! Transformers Studio Series 86 Leader Class GALVATRON Review (2025)

[@MichaelBennett-wb3vi]

A hilarious accessory would be a pile of ash, or a crushed crown

[@sethputnamsghost]

The crushed crown would’ve been an amazing idea actually.👍

[@knightwolfpro4494]

Did you see someone created a corination Starscream lego set? It was just a pile of grey bricks.

[@MichaelBennett-wb3vi]

@@sethputnamsghost I didn't want to say it, but: I'm sure DNA might have us covered with an accessory set

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Or a 50$ bill with a note from Hasblow apologising for not giving us the more accurate colour scheme to begin with 😆😩

Fun fact:Galvatron fusion cannon is called the Particle cannon

Oh! So NOT the fusiON canON

[@ultimatebrawlers64]

@PrimeVsPrime Yes actually,man Transformers lore goes deep!

[@_cabbs_7304]

The WFC Galvatron mold is a good mold in my opinion. It’s super thick and the transformation is fun as hell, but we can all agree this was kinda lazy

[@zeusthefox1585]

Yeah great figure but could of been given some more improvements

[@ToasterStudiosss]

It annoys me that people complain about this being a recolor because the kingdom figure was originally gonna be released for ss86 before they changed what kingdom would be about.

[@samuraimecha1070]

It's so noticeably different though.

[@MinimusAmbusIII]

​@@samuraimecha1070yes but its literally better, so i dont see the problem.

I didn’t know that! Makes a lot of sense when you check out the accessories!

[@pennymice1821]

Here's a hint lol

[@Jetthehawk1994]

Hasbro really needs to fix the yellowing issue with Kingdom Cyclonus and rerelease him in Studio Series.

[@leviettri3576]

It's easy to fix lol, just use normal grey plastic

[@S0larisPrime]

​@@leviettri3576there's no such thing as "normal" plastic. The parts prone to yellowing on Cyclonus are POM and nylon for structural reasons. They can't "simply" replace that with ABS.

[@SovereignKnight74]

@@Jetthehawk1994 That's what I'm saying! Currently, Cyclonus has been done dirty! Or rather, yellow!

[@thescottishaccent]

Genuine question - how close is his colour to the actual film? Your filming style tends toward the super bright and saturated, so I find it really hard to tell. Not a criticism, just an acknowledgement of my own colour-blindness getting in the way!

[@Drummer_Ilham]

5:08 Megatron? Is that you?

[@brianshepherd9740]

Here's a hint!

[@thescottishaccent]

Also, my biggest criticism of this repaint is that they once again went for that super-lame fixed "chain" for the Matrix. Would it have killed them to figure out a way to give us something with a bit of motion/flexibility to it?

[@jjrivas3]

They cheap out. It’ll cost more money to make a certain accessory but cheap to just make a molded plastic version. You can probably find alternative chains like a hobby shop.

[@jaydonmagan4694]

I definitely have plans to sell my Legacy Galvatron so I can eventually get this version of him; I just vastly prefer the SS figure’s colors. But I am going to wait for it to go on sale. My main hope now is that DNA Designs re-issues their Galvatron upgrade kit for this figure, but with an added new head sculpt.

[@ThornOfSociety]

Finally get the movie colours and they forget his goatee, I still hope we get a more screen accurate sculpt down the line.

[@Tabi-Kun]

Here’s to hoping dna design or any other upgrade kit companies make a new head/face sculpt with the goatee

[@PrimeVsPrime]

The goatee was a detail I missed! Yes that would’ve been great!

[@mekagoji7442]

Move over, SS Crankcase, you’ve been replaced on the “Laziest Transformers Studio Series Release” leaderboard

[@PrimeVsPrime]

😆😆😆

[@gaminuz0191]

They could've atleast added more paint, Changed the feet and head, Hasbro is Way too lazy with studio series

[@Titus-jd6vx]

👊😠 moron they gave us some of the best versions of characters.

[@williamthompson5504]

Definitely a lazy repaint.

[@isuckatusernames4297]

saving their budget for devastator and hopefully live action move-verse stuff.

[@andreyofdoom]

I think they had budget cuts and are saving for other figures by doing a couple waves of rerelease and repaint. I agree with you they really should have at least done a new head and feet

[@gaminuz0191]

@isuckatusernames4297 if that really was the case then Bonecrusher wouldn't look like a Core class , plus a new head and feet is very little to ask for

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

Suddenly, the Matrix accessory and the two _Revenge_ ships on the original _Kingdom_ release now make more sense with this version of the mold. Which is why, since I have Coronation Starscream, I'll be getting this Galvatron so I can recreate Screamer's final moments in the 1986 movie.

[@theonlysaj]

I look at this figure and just think - what’s the point 😂 chilling with my legacy version

[@Amperedz19245]

If you already have the mold there is no point of getting it eh, it's good for people who wanted this figure, sure Hasbro could have upgraded it in some way but I think in 2024 next to for example commander Prime it's still works

[@MichaelBennett-wb3vi]

@@Amperedz19245 yeah like give him new hands and filled in forearms

[@somethingcooliguess8959]

If you’ve already got the mould then there isn’t a point, you don’t have to get every release of every figure

[@ch1LLzard]

Lowkey, I kinda like the purple paint over the blue. And I'm down to save 20 or so bucks.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

There really is no point. Honestly I’m surprised they didn’t at least retool the hands 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jdpragmatic8644]

“Well all I can say is…RAAAAGH!!!”💥

[@sixtocortescastaneda4169]

I'll still jump on this guy when I get a chance since I never owned the original Kingdom Galvatron and am slowly growing my SS86 collection

[@jjrivas3]

Nice review sir! I wanted to get this figure, but I have the 2nd edition Galvatron without the gunk on him and I just custom painted his cannon to that pretty glossy orange! Took 10 minutes to custom painted, do a 2nd coat and I save me $50+! Chrome painted the chain to the Matrix, no need to get the SS86 version. I am waiting for Megatron!

[@Rodimusbill]

The only thing you forgot was the front of the arm cannon snaps into the back of Galvatron in tank mode. Still I will pick him up if i can find him for around $25

[@ronaldclayton4232]

I got the legacy figure almost 2 years ago for $26 with correct shoulders and perfect QC.This'll be at Ollie's or Ross next Christmas for $14.99 just like the Coronation Starscream was if they make very many.

[@Michchall]

At last a review of him that wasn't made with lights straight out of balkan sex dungeon. I like those colors a bit more and will grab him. Also I think SS86 Megs was teased on "commander" constructicon box.

[@DBWalks2010]

Galvatron is AWESOME 🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏a perfectly accurate mold! Definitely would get him👍👍

[@dkkanofkash8798]

I gotta say that you have really learned how to pull off a good dynamic pose when reviewing your figures. Not only that, but you also use multiple figures per shot, and add extra effects like blast effects. That alone sometimes sells me on a new figure to buy from your review. Note that I am still not convinced to replace my Kingdom and Selects Galvatrons with the "new" SS86 one.

[@TK1983]

Ich für meinen Teil bin enttäuscht. Man hätte zumindest die Finne am Rücken verlängern oder die Öffnungen an den Innenseite der Arme abdecken können. Aber man hat dem alten Mold nur einen neuen Farbanstrich gegeben.

[@bowelrupture]

exactly. I won't jump on the bandwagon to buy this figure.

[@Thehorseboination-86]

It's a good time when you upload bro

[@803551]

@PrimeVsPrime, I really like the way you pose your figures. What stands would you recommend for posing?

[@EnderMaster707]

The purple is so good

[@Drummer_Ilham]

Merry Christmas Transformers!😊❤️💜🥹😇😊

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Merry Christmas! 🔥

[@dialNforNinja]

Does that periwinkle blue coloration actually appear anywhere but the reformatting scene? Every other appeaance of Galvatron I cab think of only used it for the shadow color with the maion one being more like half way from that to the WFCK/LGC purple. I do like the periwinkle more overalkl and it works better to place him in the middle of a range from Sweeps and Scourge to Cyclonus and Hizarmada (withthe extremes represented by the Gen Selects G1 toy color repaints, naturally.) I do quite like the toy engineering, I got Toy Colors Galvatron as well and may yet go for the 86 version when and if he hits clearance. Straxus... I was never really into the comics, but just as a toy he does also have a siumlar appeal. He seems far less likely to end up on clearance though, nas an online exclusive with a lower production ruyn and significant comics grognard appeal, and there's a lot lioke a LOT a lot of things I'm more hyped for announced or leaked or just implied for AotP in the next few years to siphon away my toy bighet.

[@90lancaster]

That is a good suggestion about the chest plate, now you'd said that I can see the lack there. I preferred when Galvatron's arms were installed wrong as the looks of the arms with a round cover in the screw hole is superior to the look with the slots showing forwards. But if you don't mind that the Packaging refresh one (no purple splatter) is a good buy too. At least he feels solid and not like he will blow away in a strong breeze. Reissues are fine if there is a reason to reissue them like every Jhaxius ever going green would be worth addressing with one that doesn't.

[@DreadwingDecepticon]

Been waiting for this one! Do you plan to do the end of year reviews, like worst to best and top 10s?

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks mate! Yes! I will be doing a few lists to round off the year! 🙏🏻 have a great Christmas!

[@Drummer_Ilham]

At 0:03 What theme is this?

[@PrimeVsPrime]

A brand new one for 2025! 🤩🔥

[@rorroryusoul]

Very cool video primevsprime

[@scarlettuwu9582]

They even got that evil Anime glint off of the red paint on the eyes ! Amazing 👀 They really have to work with Lenord Nimoy’s family and see if they can’t get the voice rights or set up a royalty payment program to use Lenord’s voice in a transforming galvatron for the private company doing the co-lab on those robetson? Something like that

[@3rdlegend445]

I love the instrumental used for this video

[@Cartsthebeloved]

This is what I’ve been waiting for, I never thought the kingdoms paint job was fitting. This is my preferred purple

[@manboi6852]

Is that Starscream figure yellowing already? That’s a bummer cause I just ordered one :/

[@FennekinTF]

More or rather some retooling would’ve been amazing. It would’ve taken a pretty good rerelease straight to amazing! Opening hands and maybe a new headsculpt would’ve sufficed enough.

[@kailig9190]

What this SS86 version needed is upgraded hands that can open. Besides the hands I really like the recoloring .

[@edutaimentcartoys]

great toy review video, i applaud the narrator

[@tatotahto4409]

i think i'd be more receptive to this if they didn't make it a 1-1 repaint different accessories, different face sculpt even. its not a terrible release for those who don't already have galvatron, but I'm still seeing Legacy Galvatron at stores in my area. I do also wish the Decepticon Insignia was picked out with a black outline since it kinda blends in with the rest of the torso

[@theadventuresofzeekgoji45]

Please take my money. I really want it really bad. I broke my ss Galvatron from age of extinction because I was transforming and the part where I had to split like the body or something it completely snapped off, which was a big pain so I will definitely pick this one up

[@RevengeoftheBallen831]

I’m more excited to see what this means. If Galvatron gets rereleased here *now*, then that means Scourge, Sweeps, and Cyclonus rereleases are definitely down the pipeline.

[@Ezilla82]

Honestly, don't have this figure, but I do have him preordered, so I can't wait to get him in hand. Because I dig that bluish-purple color scheme he's sporting.

[@harrisonwebber6272]

I Think Transformers Studio Series 86 Leader Class Galvatron Happens To Be A Perfect Piece To Add To My Transformers Studio Series 86 Collection!

[@zullumaster123]

Who wears the mold better? Galvatron or Straxus?

[@Sentina7]

That photo of Prime about to smash him with the trailer is fantastic.

[@migatron1]

Since they dumped the numbering system for Studio Series, I no longer feel obligated to add the 20th repaint of what was/is a great Galvatron figure to the set, so, unless this drops in price, it's a straight pass for me

[@LightningZetton]

2:12 Bro have u seen galvatron's revange?....... the fan film that takes place after Transformers Prime......

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I actually have not! Is it any good?

[@brooklynbud1138]

Alternate expressions are a big no for me. I hate how Skywarp and Dirge are screaming instead of a normal face. The only way that should be an options is if the faces can be swapped out. Otherwise: neutral face only

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Interchangeable faceplates would be cool!

[@JasonX0659]

I'm going to get this Galvatron, but I'll wait for it to hit clearance!

[@rajeev-t6l]

i wish they added more articulation, or increase in accuracy. 0:45 look at the cone like part in back of his head, and he seems a little bit thinner. edit 1:37 never mind, but the cone isn’t that noticeable and the treads suck.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Treads should’ve been made smaller i think!

[@Intelligent-Soup]

I wasn't really happy to hear about this guy, but now that I see him, I would gladly throw my legacy one away for him!!!

[@Megatron44567]

I think more tf company's should include weapons even though the character doesn't have it in their media Like if concept art Megatron came with a sword

[@jayjayshowcaser5859]

I like the translucent arm cannon on the purple Galvatron figure it looks better then the regular one / and the purple Galvatron still looks cool / i wonder 🤔 if they would the purple Galvatron with out the battle damage / or switch it up and put the translucent arm cannon on the blue Galvatron

[@JA-js8uk]

I really really like the new deco and all but I have no reason to pick this up when I got the Legacy version for around £30 during Black Friday

[@PrimeVsPrime]

£30 is a great deal for Galvatron!

[@afkoyuncu5886]

It would have been a 10/10 if they made the tank threads clip in like straxis (+made sure the feet didnt do a 90⁰ angle during transformation)

[@SpykeTheHedgehog]

I agree. The should’ve changed the head, put on posable hands, have a longer back spike, lose the guns & new feet. Seriously, 3rd party companies & people with 3D printers have come up with better improvements/upgrades. Why doesn’t hasbro learn from this?? (Sorry, I’m just getting annoyed that nothing ever changes, as they continue to give us the exact same figures, & jacking up the prices even more than the first release…)😓

[@adrianhjordan1981]

Genuine question, is there a reference I'm not getting for the way you say "fusiON cannON" as at other points you say cannon the more common way and I'm sure you've also used the word fusion in the past without the emphasis on the "on" part. The way you say it leads me to believe it's a reference to something in one of the cartoons or something that I'm not aware of.... 🙈

[@CornNinja]

If it came with some blast effects i would be more excited for it. Still plan on buying because i have poor spending habits.

[@skraox1053]

They will most likely repaint Kingdom Rodimus Prime for Studio Series, right?

[@EleTech_Studios_16]

I honestly don’t know why they didn’t put him in Studio Series in the first place instead of Kingdom, like I understand they put him in because of the WFC show that the WFC trilogy toys follows, but I feel Galvatron should have been in Studio Series along with Cyclonus so then Hasbro wouldn’t have to be lazy later on. I do gotta admit I do like the new paint, I used to have the Legacy version.

[@詹鎮宇-u1s]

Lucky I didn't buy kindom or legacy version. Now I can have chance to own the most accurate paint version for Galvatron.🎉

[@Megatron_2018]

So no blast effects??

[@owentravis2220]

I hate that it's a remolded repaint. Would it pain hasbro to make a more movie accurate Galvatron? I mean c'mon: some proportions are off and the chest is too much like the kingdom/legacy Galvatron for me to recognize it as the 1986 Galvatron. The feet aren't 1986 Galvatron, the purple knee spike parts are slightly too short, and you are definitely right: he needs a more movie accurate faceplate. I feel like making the kingdom/legacy design so close to the 1986 design was so they could be lazy with the figure. Minus the lack of head mobility, I say the Titans Return Galvatron figure is the best official figure in my opinion.

[@GEKGanon]

Wait, so you disassemble his blaster and put the cannon nozzle on the front, and the other piece just goes nowhere?

[@fulcrumagent]

It goes on top

[@jaredpower1019]

And I guess they’re gonna make the dna design for him just like the kingdom one

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I think so!

[@Rako_the_Awesome]

I have the Legacy Galvatron but I still think I want the new one. But I’m trying to complete the SS86 line. For the most part. Don’t want the Dead Bots.
