:''Galvatron is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Era]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

An [[Emperor of Destruction]] (either "New" or self-proclaimed), '''Galvatron''' journeys to [[Gaea]] in search of a powerful energy source. He is a strong and cunning warrior, though a little on the crazy and suicidal side. His younger brother, [[Megastorm]], secretly desires to overthrow his brother and take his place as Emperor. Galvatron is well aware of this, however, and lets it slide out of love for his li'l bro.

He is incapable of not grimacing like a [[wikipedia:Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] toy, even during one of his narcolepsy attacks, unless it is...the Final Battle.

On planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] once disagreed with Galvatron over opinions on galactic conquest and engaged him in battle over it. At the time, Megatron momentarily let his guard down and was defeated by Galvatron, who declared "Your era is over, Megatron!"

Later, Megatron noted that while Galvatron was ambitious, he cared for his underlings—and although he was loath to admit it, he acknowledged that Galvatron probably had all the regal bearing of a new [[Emperor of Destruction]].

In the seventh month of the Space Year 1999, Galvatron's plans would bloom... {{storylink|Catalog#Beast Wars II|The next stage of battle advances to the Second War... ...Beast Wars, Transform!}}

While battling [[Lio Convoy]] in space, Galvatron and his Predacon forces went through transwarp space and arrived on [[Gaea]]. The [[Angolmois]] energy riddled throughout the planet proved to be a powerful energy source which Galvatron desired to possess. Galvatron downloaded a drill mode and a dragon mode from information stored in a computer which was left behind by the planet's extinct inhabitants. The new transformation modes proved powerful, but left Galvatron with an awful side-effect: Without warning, he'd slip into Angolmois energy-induced comas.

When he wasn't sleeping, Galvatron fought Lio Convoy and his Maximals on numerous occasions. At the same time, he fought off ambitious Predacons such as the treacherous [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]], [[BB]] and even his own little brother, [[Megastorm]], the Duke of Destruction.

While trying to [[Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger|summon Megatron across time]], Galvatron also briefly gained control of the legendary "God of Destruction", [[Majin Zarak]], although this would be only temporary.

Galvatron eventually set his final plan into motion, summoning his "artificial planet", [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]], into Gaea's orbit. The ship then proceeded to suck all the Angolmois energy out of the planet and store it within itself. The Maximals followed Galvatron and his Predacons to Nemesis to stop him. Lio Convoy and [[Lio Junior]] merged into the Great Green Lion and narrowly defeated Galvatron in battle, thwarting his plans by ejecting the Angolmois energy from Nemesis in capsules.

Defeated but not willing to surrender, Galvatron activated his [[Galva-Matrix]], which set off a self-destruction sequence in Nemesis. The explosion killed Galvatron, sent the Predacons drifting helplessly through outer space, and trapped all the Maximals within a wormhole.

====''Beast Wars Neo'' cartoon====
After stealing all the Angolmois capsules from [[Magmatron]] and [[Big Convoy]], the [[Blendtron|Blendtrons]] released the energy into the corpse of Galvatron. Galvatron's body then served as the vessel of the reborn [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Unicron's Ambition}}

===''Duel Fight Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Warriors' Strongest Decisive Battle'' Video Game===
The discovery of a super-powerful [[Energon crystal]] on [[Earth]] leads Galvatron, along with several other Predacons and Maximals, into a series of battles with the crystal being the victor's prize.

Galvatron could also partake in various other tasks, such as a mission to break a boulder to reveal an energon crystal hidden within before sundown, using a block in a mission to defend himself against various incoming projectiles, and missions to run across a pit-riddled field, sometimes involving hideously large bacteria he had to fend off.

After defeating his final opponent, [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], in the cave wherein the crystal is located, Galvatron absorbs its power. Unfortunately, this causes him to go mad with power, and he ends up destroying his own base. {{storylink|Duel Fight Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Warriors' Strongest Decisive Battle}}
{{note|Each character possessed an alternate ending, displayed if the game was beaten with said character. Each character has only their own ending listed on their pages, see the other characters' pages for Galvatron's fate in those outcomes.}}

===Universe Featuring the Wreckers===
After the reformatting of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Galvatron, with Megastorm, led the Predacon forces in the former region of [[Polyhex]]. His army was attacked by forces under [[Overseer Vashik]], who took them through a suspiciously unguarded canyon. That canyon was unguarded for a reason, and Vashik soon found his army wiped out by a river of magma. Chucking Vashik into the lava, Galvatron announced his plans—using the [[Quintesson]]'s makeup as base materials, he would rebuild the great fortress of [[Darkmount]] to serve as the new Predacon capital. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

: A Triple Changer, Galvatron can transform between robot, dragon and drill-tank modes. In this as well as in his sculpt style, he is quite similar to a [[Transmetal]], albeit lacking the traditional chromed parts and with a more convincing vehicle mode than most of that line. While in vehicle mode, the golden color of the drill bit and the purple tank body's shape make him a fairly direct homage to his Generation 1 namesake. In robot mode, his chest features a yellow marble that represents the Galva-Matrix.

==Notes==
*For unknown reasons, while Galvatron's toy was purple in color (similar to [[Galvatron (G1)|his namesake]]'s animation model), he was primarily colored pink in the ''Beast Wars II'' and ''Neo'' cartoons.
