[@mikejenkinsreviews]

I believe that Galvatron IS Megatron, but his personality is corrupted by Unicron’s slave program. Unlike Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps, Unicron allowed for Megatron to retain a full sense of his former self. This act, along with Unicron’s destruction led to a cascading effect that unraveled and corrupted Galvatron’s psyche. It’s likely that the corruption was purged when Galvatron was reformatted into Action Master Megatron.

[@ElKabong3345]

@@mikejenkinsreviews What happened, if I recall, is that Rodimus Prime flung Galvatron so far into a lava-like plasma pool, and I quote "the plasma had seeped into Galvatron's head casing and the heat had permanently damaged his "metaprocessor" " That's why, in the series, there are moments where Galvatron's brain "sparks" in animation briefly, and he returns to briefly forming cunning plans like the old Megatron used to. However, this is brief and he returns to madness, often undoing his own plans due to his brutality.

Honestly, at this point, the Autobots have basically won the war, the Autobots are the ruling body of Cybertron while the Decepticons are trapped on a desolate scrapyard of a planet. The once cunning and calculating Megatron now reduced to a manic shell of his former self, with the only cons still around being the ones too scared of being killed by Galvatron to leave, while the Autobots have a young leader with experienced lieutenants, and troops who are loyal to their cause. Galvatron is basically running a sorry excuse of a terrorist cell at this point.

[@parkertitle1923]

@@TheRisingStorm316 i have a theory. Because Galvatron has a cannon mode,used to transform into a handgun when he was Megatron and has a cannon on his arm, he is able to charge up particles and materials in a manner organic beings and possibly other cybertronians cannot, as such he didn’t need to make an actual ray gun, he just had to make something he could super-charge until it fired. Also it’s possible the reason he can do this but not fire his fusion cannon is because the organics disabled it manually, which would explain why they didn’t remove it.

[@Supertron1]

True, but Galvatron's personality seemed a bit different even before falling into the lava pit. Megatron was a master strategist who always waited for the right moment to strike, while Galvatron seemed to just charge right into battle. Megatron tolerated Starscream's treachery because he recognized his usefulness, whereas Galvatron didn't care if Starscream was useful and so he killed him for his earlier betrayal.

Many people assume that Galvatron was the problem the season was bad.

On the Rodimous comment I have your back 100%. The actual problem that the show lost its feel and tanked was that it became star wars. They were cramping alien races, other planets, and a shit ton of new characters with completely 'alien' characteristics to what it was already an earth bound foundation. That is what made the show to tank. You could hardly explain what you were seeing anymore and WTF is that thing this char transforms to.

He does in the comics.

Watching this back, it amaze me that Frank welker did a different voice for Galvatron despite being an upgraded Megatron

Mf would make Galvatron crazier by supporting him.

[@bwahhhhh]

i love the idea that Galvatron is batshit crazy but also some kind of savant genius who can make a working gun out of some psychological therapy blocks

@@theultimatememelord5494 Galvatron became insane. Hot Rod got depression. I kinda like some parts of Kiss Players (please don't judge), but one should be careful when treading there.

best part here is when he shoots everything after assembling the gun. lol

[@maksymilianziele28]

Normally a calculating maniac turned into a rabid maniac should not be approved to not ruin the evil coming from the great villain, but in this case... it is entertaining to watch mighty Galvatron yelling and attacking EVERYONE like a complete lunatic.

[@Ars-Nova258]

Megatron: Wakes up and chooses violence. Galvatron: “There is no slumber, there is no choice… only violence.”

[@HeWhoPwnsNoobs]

2:30 I like to imagine that Galvatron is so batshit insane that he made a functioning gun out of parts that was ment to be something harmless. Like Galvatron is part Warhammer 40K Ork or something.

[@SegaMario]

I literally feel like Galvatron in reaction to seeing MLP, FNAF, Undertale and Steven Universe shit everywhere I go. "Kill...smash...destroy...rend...mangle...DISTORT!"

“I hate the Autobots! I hate Cyclonus! And I’m not very fond of you!!!” -Galvatron

[@shayjaymultiversal]

To be honest as much as I understand that G1 is iconic and always will be but after the movie you start to notice that the series started to go downhill when Galvatron lost his sanity. Nothing against Frank Welker, he actually was pretty good.

@Dauda András whatever you say

[@drixg555]

Listening to TV G1 Galvatron is like listening to a crazy version of Fred from Scooby Doo who suffers from brain damage.

[@bipolarspock6145]

Y’all are forgetting the plasma pool he was found in after tidings threw him into space at the end of the movie. The pools damaged him. Thats why he is insane… given his power had he still possessed his tactical knowledge when he was megaton… the autobots would’ve lost. Without Optimus the autobots lost there abilities to win against all odds.

This episode was definitely one of the best. But I was hoping that when the one ape dude said it would "cure him of being Galvatron" I thought they were going to turn him back into Megatron or something. that would be cool. but then I saw they were gonna kill him and I went NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
