'''Galvatron''' was [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] reborn in the fires of [[Unicron]]. In an alternate timeline, Unicron consumed [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and Galvatron was given [[Earth]] to rule. It is the year 2009, and only a handful of Autobots remain -- even their leader, [[Rodimus Prime]], has fallen. What chance, then, do the rest of us have?

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
Galvatron originally controlled the Americas in an alternate 2009 where Unicron had been victorious in his [[The Transformers: The Movie (1986)|attack on Cybertron]]. He knew that the other countries of [[Earth]] were planning a nuclear strike against the force-field with which he barricaded the continents. He thought that his shield could withstand, and absorb, the energy of the attack. This Galvatron was quite mad in his home time - he lethally punished his close lieutenant [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], and continued to 'kill' a long-dead Rodimus Prime whose remains he'd strung up on what was left of the World Trade Center.

Before he could make good his plans for nuclear energy, though, he was snatched through time to 1991 by [[Hook, Line, and Sinker]], who were working for a Unicron who 'may or may not become' the one who created him. This Unicron tried to use him as a soldier in his own attack on Cybertron, but Galvatron quickly turned against him. He assisted [[Emirate Xaaron]] in his attempts to awaken [[Primus]]; Unicron sent Hook, Line and Sinker to eliminate Galvatron, but he easily destroyed the trio.

After Unicron's destruction, a group of Decepticons hijacked the [[Ark]], and Galvatron stowed away on board. He then fought against and subsequently allied with this era's Megatron, teaming up with him to destroy [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] before the Ark crashed on Earth. Now driven completely mad, he wreaked havoc until he was defeated by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. He hasn't been seen since Maximus threw him into a frozen lake.(Completely unintentionally mirroring [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s fate in Japanese [[Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]] animated series).

===Japanese THS mini-comics===
Galvatron II menaced [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] (in his [[Laser Rod]] body) with his personal [[Warworld]].

Magnus put up a rather poor fight and Galvatron II succeeded at defeating and nearly killing him. Before he could finish his foe off, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] (upgraded with new missile launchers and a heat-absorbing "[[Black Body]]" coating) intervened, destroying Galvatron's arm cannon. Although weaponless, Galvatron took the blow in stride and continued to mock Optimus Prime, who was ''not amused''.

:''('''Note''': This story seems to take place in the same loose continuity as the Japanese ''[[Generation 2]]'' pack-in mini-comics. Both were written and drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].)''

==Toys==
===Generation 1===

*'''Galvatron II''' (Decepticon, 2006)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-66'''

: Galvatron II was an [[e-Hobby]] [[exclusive]]. It has the physically [[retool|retooled]] parts of the 2006 Galvatron [[reissue]], but with the grey paint scheme of the original 1986 toy. It also has one additional voice clip and extra stickers to add gold filigree details that had previously been seen only on a pre-movie advertisement. These stickers are ''very'' difficult to apply.

: Galvatron II also comes with the [[Creation Matrix]], a green [[redeco]] of "Anime" Galvatron's [[Matrix of Leadership]].

==Trivia==
* Compared to the first Galvatron, this guy was a bit underwhelming. His predecessor was shot by just about every Transformer you can name, buried under a volcano, soundly beaten by Unicron on more than one occasion, then lost half of his head before finally being destroyed by a rift in space and time. Makes you wonder how this guy beat Rodimus Prime in his own time, but meets his end thanks to a frozen lake.
