TRDQ: Takara Legends - LG23 Galvatron

[@thedesucomplex4365]

I like the spaceship mode too even if it is very clearly a fudged in fanmode-turned-official with it bringing him inline with his minions, and still have a fondness for the Titans Return one even if it has been supplanted by a much, much better toy now. Maybe toys that are a little shite can still be fun

[@spicy767]

Please note that the figure in this review is customized to have extra silver paint apps On the subject of this mold, I recently got the TR version and gave him a Renderform head and Kingdoms Fusion Cannon, and he’s lots of fun! Ship mode is nice cause he can fun with Scourge and Cyclonus now instead of hitching a ride

[@TRDQ]

I'll never note

[@GhostPrimeReviews]

Nice. I always loved the Head on the Takara Version. The little Megs just NEEDS that paint.

[@mephosto]

some upgrade parts fix this so much, a full helmet like the toy was designed for and a bad to turn the gun on the arm. and i actually kind of like the space ship mode, it's very scrolling shooter.

[@MobTheKnight]

It's just right to get home after studying and watch a TRDQ video while I have my dinner. Thanks as always, Gavin!

[@Alzeal07]

customizing my Hasbro one into a shattered glass Megatron, works with the jet mode, but you made me want to paint my kingdom one lavender purple

[@Nediablo]

Another blinder! Straight to the point, no BS, just jokes and a laugh WHILST actually being factual?! Glaswegian Witchcraft. That has to be a local doom band name surely?!

[@hexedcrab]

I really think the worst part about this guy is just how close to being perfect he is. if the ship mode wasn't a thing and if the canon just clipped onto the side of the arm and if the pop out crown didn't look so forced he'd easily be a highlight of titans return/takara legends for me! but hey at least super megatron exists eh

[@ChakatStripedfur]

For me Galvatron _needs_ the dark purple, otherwise it looks like he's just trying to cosplay as Cyclonus. With the added "jet mode" the cosplay _k i n d a_ works, like it's _a l m o s t_ there, like he's going for an Updated Arwing look, but nobody out-cyclonuses Cyclonus. And yes, before you get your teabags in a twist, I know the G1 toy was dark purple, but you can take that and fffffffffind the exit.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Great video, and I'm glad you like this guy, mate, but I didn't buy any more official Galvatrons since the UniClassErations era for a good reason . . . . 😉 At least, not until WFC: Kingdom came along, anyway.

[@Chokun-Gaming]

Thank you for making me read the description, it was wonderful

[@dedalionarts6077]

To be honest, I still find the Hasbro relise better looking. Besides the better headmaster paint of the Legends version, you don't really miss anything imo.

[@michaellombardi1620]

I got him because he's Galvatron and I love that crazy nutter. Glad the newer one exists. He fulfills my mad leader needs.

[@Theover4000]

My first galvatron was the toy Kingdom Galvatron and I really enjoy it; I've never really liked Galvatron until I picked him up. This fella looks pretty good, though!

[@mechanwhal6590]

There was this song in music class about this purple soup and presumably drowning in it

[@ae_double]

It's wild how something as simple as changing the colour of something, even if ever so slightly, can drastically change one's opinion. I know I had that a few times.

[@robonintendo]

Head of Wagner was assassinated yesterday, and today there is a review of Galvatron. Coincidence? I don't think so.

[@CraftWave26]

Who? Wait, never mind. I have been informed

[@CardboardBots]

The Open and Play toy called Big Cannon that is based on this toy is a much, much better Galvatron. Thanks for this vid.

[@elpizo1789]

He just cosplayed as Cyclonus.

[@BenDaresAll]

Look, Galvatron lost his head! Har har

[@GeroTf]

How the hell have I only JUST found your channel? Fucking brilliant stuff lad 🤘

[@Stormtrooper53]

I'll be honest...the space fighter mode is my favorite thing about this one. It's like something from an 80s vertical scrolling shooter arcade game.

[@serPomiz]

I feel like they could have tackled galvatron's head the same way they did Sixshot, or at worse, scourge with the pop out component, rather than with the neck-limiting springlock setup they went with this sometimes is seen in the wild on mandarake, and every time it's at a good price I do find myself asking if it is worth. and I always find myself answering "almost". with a less unique head, and maybe leaving the cannon aside, it would make for a wonderfull bruiser in a warriors-of-unicron setup, especially since it does have a mode that doesn't depend on the cannon to transform correctly into this figure only has the curse of being absolutely blown away from his more recent incarnation(s), which in many cases would be much, much easier to put one's hands onto thinking about it, between rodimus unicronus, this, nemesis pax, and gorilla-colored optimal optimus, plus at a much later date nemesis primal, it feels like at this point hasbro wanted to try and get hype toward unicron. wonder if there was something big being worked on at the time...

[@Bearded_Bream]

Glad to see this figure get some love. While the Kingdom/Legacy version is definitely superior, and the execution of his headmaster gimmick kinda sucks, I have such a soft spot for this figure. He's fun to fiddle with, and the doofy spaceship mode has a certain charm to it that makes me smile every time I i see it. While hes definitely not the definitive Galvatron toy, he's the most fun Galvatron, in my humble opinion.

[@a_world_made_of_cardboard]

Great review! But my.wife said, "Hey the little one didn't talk?" So....I guess she misses Repugnus.

[@TehBellcarl]

I’m glad we got the toy deco of kingdom galvs but lilac deco would legit be the definitive best version.

[@benjaminjablon4631]

I had the titans return galvatron, but I lost the nucleon figure. :(

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

This toy is so great from the neck down. I really wish they didn’t bother with the headmaster gimmick.

[@victorystarsaber8280]

Ohhhh Gavin, I'm one of the first 10 commenters. (Read in your viewer voice)

[@michaelpytel3280]

What flavor FANTA does Gavin like ?

[@TRDQ]

Grape!

[@KingKyoryu1234]

Oi Gavin, could I request a review for the Infernocus set from the last knight?

[@TRDQ]

No

[@LorzIX]

I like the darker purple more personally, but damn how I wish our hasbro releases had those better paint apps for the headmasters. Or better paint in general, if I remember correctly many toys were simply better painted over in Japan

[@baron_holi]

New trdq!

[@SGD_ToysDownUnder]

I like the spaceship mode. Was never a fan of the space laser deally.

[@TheRealHiboman]

Wow Gav. So Galvatron ain’t good enough for you without the right makeup?

[@TheRealHiboman]

Oh no he unliked it 😭

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

@@TheRealHiboman No, if you edit your comment after a creator has already "loved" it, KZbin automatically "un-loves" the comment. Y'know, just in case a creator "loves" your comment, then you go back and change it to something vile, the creator won't have his "love" attached to that nasty comment and get cancelled, sort of thing.

[@TheRealHiboman]

@@Beedo_Sookcool ohhhhhhh

[@RSEDARK]

Nice

[@leftygurl]

i will always stick up for this mold tbh, the plastic quality of the time doesn’t do it any favours, and the head sculpt couldve been done better, and mine broke and… i forgot why i like this toy actually.

[@leftygurl]

seriously though, i really love both of the alternate modes, the transformations are simple yet pretty drastic in how much gets changed, it’s really just the crap head design and the weird gun placement that fumble it for me, if they had decided to get a bit special with his titan master it could’ve been great.

[@ChakatStripedfur]

@@leftygurl I vastly prefer the Generations Selects Super Megatron. Uses a lot of the same mould, but makes enough changes for it to work a lot better. The canon being on the outside of his arm is a _huge_ plus, but it just works better over all, both aesthetically and transformation wise. But if you enjoy this guy then please don't let me dissuade you, this is just my two cents.

Sign me up for one of those T shirts!

[@HardHeadtfreviews2008]

5 minute gang

[@elizabethfranklin7788]

Okay…going to be a fucking heathen bastard…I like the TR Galvy more, he just looks more fun visually? Plus the idea that Megatron is the headmaster is such a better gimmick than the shite matrix on a chain. Great review as always.
