Something to note about those voicelines used on the 2005 Takara Galvatron is that they're the same exact voice clips used for the voice feature on the MP-36 Megatron!

There can never be too many videos centered on Galvatron. Galvatron himself told me so, and after seeing what happened to an underling who questioned this, I'm inclined to believe him.

One thing to note about Galvatron's voice lines here is that there's NEW INFO no one talked about. Apparently it came from an old 80's toy which is called a Talkformer. There's 2 toys - Galvatron and Rodimus Prime. @Aburamaster102 has shorts of these in his KZbin Channel to show how they performed.

Those same Japanese voice lines were reused for the Masterpiece MP-36 Megatron's fusion cannon as Megatron and Galvatron were both voiced by the same actor in Japan (similar to how Frank Welker returned as Galvatron fir season 3)

I do have a soft spot for Galvatron's tank mode, because of how ridiculously blunt it is - It's nothing but a huge, massive, death-spewing sci fi cannon on little wheels. It only exists so he can position himself just right before blasting you to kingdom come.

Seizo took his own life around 2010, this toy used recordings of his preformance from back in 1986/87 for a talking Vinyl pull cord toy, same recordings used for MP-26 Megatron. Funny thing is, those recordins where still in takara's possesion, and where released on a Bonus CD for the Laserdisc sets from 1994. interestingly they provided both the voices with their processing, and without,

I really wanted this reissue when it came out back in the day when I was a lot younger . All the hobby shops with import stuff by me had it but they wanted a ludicrously upmarked price like 100 something USD for it. I've seen it at wildly varying prices online since but never bit down on any of them, probably because whenever it's been actually affordable I coincidentally don't have any money on me.

The off-white Galvatron always made more sense to me. It provided continuity with Megatron and would have helped in animation distinguish him from Cyclonus. Still, this _does_ look good. And then there's that video title. I recently commented on a KZbin review of The King In Yellow, saying that yellow just did not strike me as a menacing or dreadful colour. Oh boy, was I put in my place about how blind I was to the true eldritch terror that is yellow. I'll be more careful in future with fans of cosmic horror.

Any fans of the show know if megatron or galvatron or both said the voice lines used. Since they were used for both I’m curious which is accurate, but either way I wish we could’ve gotten the English voice actors for both as well.

So when are they gonna re-release this guy? They’ve already ready got a reissue line but with toon and old movie accurate colors, so why not include this Galvatron? Maybe even in a different shade of purple? They updated the battery style? I wonder if they’ll give other electronic Transformers figures the same treatment? If they even have the same molds for them that is. Yup, those voice lines were definitely reused for that newer MP Megatron. I recognize those “GRAAAAH”s anywhere.

Feel free to cover as many G1 Galvatrons as you want. But Gavin... you really should have known that sort of stuff at 4 years old. You had probably been talking for a few years by then, so there's not really an excuse. Learning a language is way harder than knowing a little Galvatron trivia.
