Sometimes crazy doesn't work...but try telling that to '''Galvatron'''!

==''The Transformers'' cartoon==
{{voiceactor|[[Leonard Nimoy]] (English, ''The Movie''), [[Frank Welker]] (English, television series), [[Seizō Katō]] (Japanese)|[[Yang Wenyuan]] (China), [[Carl Béchard]] (French Canadian, television series), [[Mikhail Chernyak]] (Russian), [[Gerd Wiedenhofen]] (German, television series), [[Manfred Erdmann]] (German, ''The Movie''), [[Thomas Rauscher]] (German, ''Generation 2''), [[Jean Claudio]] (French, television series), [[Alejandro Abdalah]] (Spanish)}}

[[File:Tftm1986c.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|He's more machine now than ma—oh wait, he was a machine to begin with. Never mind.]]

In 2005, after being mortally wounded by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] during the [[Battle of Autobot City]], [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] was left to float aimlessly through space after being punted out of the overloaded Astrotrain by Starscream, who finally decided to take advantage of his near-death state to take command. He was summoned by [[Unicron]], who offered him a new body, a warship and new troops to command, so long as he destroyed the [[Autobot]] [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Megatron reluctantly accepted and was upgraded into '''Galvatron''', a more fearsome and powerful warrior, while his former troops were similarly [[Reformatting|reformatted]].

Galvatron quickly retook command of the Decepticons after killing the traitorous [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] in the middle of his coronation as the Decepticons' new leader. He then went to [[Earth]] and attacked [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] full-force. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] led him away from Earth, and Galvatron chased him to the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junk]], where he defeated Magnus and took the Matrix, intending to use it against Unicron.

[[File:TFTM-strangle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Nothing can save you, Autobot, except maybe the powerful artifact around my neck! But that'll never happen.]]

Galvatron could not open the Matrix, and as punishment for his treachery, Unicron transformed and began tearing Cybertron apart. Horrified, Galvatron transformed to cannon emplacement mode and opened fire on Unicron, but his shots had no effect and the dark god swallowed him whole. Inside Unicron's belly, he met up with [[Hot Rod/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]]. Though he initially suggested an alliance with the young Autobot against the mutual threat of his master, the Chaos Bringer mentally tortured Galvatron for his attempted treachery and then forced him to attack Hot Rod. Hot Rod eventually managed to wrest the Matrix away from Galvatron and open it, leading to his transformation into Rodimus Prime. Flush with new power, Rodimus hurled Galvatron from inside Unicron and into deep space. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Galvatron’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series “[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]],” the storybook “[[Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|Transformers the Movie]]" and the "Special Edition The Transformers: The Movie extra page" of "[[Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe]]."}}

But this would not be the end of Galvatron.

[[File:FFOD2 Scourge rescuing Galvatron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|He'll never be let back into this country club ever again.]]

The weakened Decepticons were subsequently routed by the Autobots and forced off Cybertron, relocating to the burned-out world of [[Chaar]]. After eking out a living there in energy-deprived squalor for some time, they were visited by [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], who'd finally decided to return the Decepticons to glory by seeking out the lost Galvatron.{{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

They found him sunk in a lava pit on the distant planet [[Thrull]] and managed to free him. However, the effects of the "plasma bath" irrevocably altered Galvatron's sanity chips, rendering him omnicidally insane. Upon regaining his freedom, he thrashed Cyclonus and Scourge and sundered Thrull. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} Told that the [[human]]s and Autobots had collaborated to build a space station as Earth's first line of defense, he was highly amused, and headed for the nearest [[warp gate]]. On reaching [[Outpost One]], he and his men attacked the station, quickly destroying it and coincidentally damaging the shuttle piloted by [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]. Galvatron spotted the shuttle making a break for [[Jupiter]], and demanded the heads of the Autobots as souvenirs. With one blast, he destroyed the ship, but the two occupants had escaped and began plummeting into the planet's atmosphere. One Sweep, blasted by Wheelie, cried out to Galvatron to save him, but was only told to meet his end with dignity. Galvatron then blasted a nearby storm cell, causing an implosion.

{{bigquote|It's music! The symphony of destruction and the anthem of agony!|Galvatron loves an atmospheric implosion|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}}

Believing the Autobots to be destroyed, Galvatron ordered Cyclonus to take him to [[Chaar]]. He was shocked at the conditions that the Decepticon army were forced to live under, and was even more surprised to be told by [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] that the bulk of the Decepticon forces had left under new leadership. Incensed, he announced that he was the leader of the Decepticons, and the usurpers would pay. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} He and his loyal men swiftly found the rest of the Decepticons fighting the Autobots on [[Goo 8739B]], and Galvatron swiftly ordered an attack. When Cyclonus inquired who they were attacking, Galvatron simply replied "everyone". After making [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] beg for his life, Galvatron succeeded in regaining the loyalty of his troops, and turned his attention on those who had usurped him in the first place—the [[Quintesson]]s. The Quintessons attempted to negotiate, successfully bluffing Galvatron with stories of a [[Decepticon Matrix|Decepticon Matrix of Leadership]] which they would give him if he destroyed the Autobots down on Goo. Although he tried, the Autobots were snatched from danger by the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]]. Still, he got to destroy Goo, and the Quintessons were subsequently able to persuade him to join forces with them to destroy both the Autobots and the humans.

[[File:FFOD5 Galvatron lever.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Oooooh, what does this bu-tton dooo?]]
Plans were swiftly drawn to attack simultaneously on Earth and Cybertron. On Earth, the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s constructed [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] from a human city, while a decoy human shuttle was crashed into the central power facility on Cybertron, knocking out the planet's defences. Galvatron himself led the attack on Cybertron, unaware that the Quintessons plotted against him. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} The battle going well, Galvatron sent Blitzwing to give a status report to their allies, but was angered when the triple-changer returned a short time later to say that not only had he not given the status report, but there was no Decepticon Matrix. Blitzwing was soon sent hurtling towards the Autobots. Galvatron soon followed the Autobots and the now-traitorous Blitzwing to a chamber deep inside Cybertron, where a [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] had been about to pull a [[large switch|lever]]. Convinced that the switch had something to do with the Decepticon Matrix, Galvatron pulled it himself—and every [[Transformer]] in the galaxy shut down. Fortunately the human [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] destroyed the switch, returning the Transformers to life. Though Galvatron chased the Quintessons, they swiftly escaped in a pod. He was then prevented from blasting Rodimus by Blitzwing, and angrily told the triple-changer that he was no longer welcome in the ranks of the Decepticons before ordering a retreat. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[File:Chaos Galvatron cannon.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|The Decepticon palette was out of everything but purple.]]
Informed by [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] of a new type of ammunition, [[death crystal]]s, Galvatron went to planet [[Dread (planet)|Dread]], where the crystals originated, intending to carry out a new plan—build a [[Death crystal cannon|cannon]] which would fire death crystals at Cybertron. He found a ready-made work force in [[Dread slaves|the slaves]] left behind by the [[Orb]]s, and soon had a giant cannon constructed. Just as all was ready, a group of Autobots, led to the planet by [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]], attacked the installation. [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] was able to keep them busy while he lined up for a shot at Cybertron, however Kup was also keeping busy, freeing the slaves and waking the monster [[Chaos (alien)|Chaos]]. During the confusion of the slave revolt, Kup used the death crystal cannon to destroy Chaos and causing the volcano to erupt. Galvatron was last seen fleeing the swiftly moving lava. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

While hunting an Autobot shuttle through space, Galvatron and his lieutenants managed to utterly destroy the ship. Not one to fall for the [[The Transformers: The Movie|same trick]] twice, Galvatron continued searching the area until the Decepticons detected the shuttle's lifepod flying towards an enormous structure. This "funeral barge" carried in it the deactivated bodies of the Autobots who died during the Great War. Galvatron and his lieutenants pursued Rodimus Prime's crew into the barge, but were driven off by the sudden arrival of Optimus Prime, seemingly back from the dead. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening}}

[[File:FightOrFlee Galvatron orders.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Galvatron strangles the Invisible Swordsman.]]
When Scourge and Cyclonus alerted him to the location of a pacifistic and energon-rich world known as [[Paradron]], Galvatron saw a perfect opportunity for conquest. The Decepticon invasion of Paradron was brief but brutal, and the populace was converted into slave labor. One Paradronian Transformer named [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] escaped and brought the Autobots back to free his people. Eventually the Autobots detonated the planet's primary energon core, destroying the planet itself and driving off Galvatron's troops. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}}

Following his defeat by [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], Trypticon had been sent to [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]] for recuperation. When the Decepticon fueler [[Octane]] removed him, Galvatron went looking for the missing duo and found them consorting with humans in [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]]. He was ready to annihilate the "traitor" Octane for defying his orders, but Octane quickly explained that the purefied Carbombyan oil made for a super-energon mixture, powerful enough to recharge Trypticon (and, hopefully, make him larger than a small Combiner again). Galvatron toook control of the nation by removing [[Abdul Fakkadi (G1)|Abdul Fakkadi]] (Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings of the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya) from office and locked him and his troops up in a cage. Despite being more powerful from the Energon created from Carbombya the Decepticons were still defeated and forced to retreat. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

Galvatron apparently reverted to his original assessment of Octane after this debacle, and drove him out of the Decepticons. When Octane began running cargo for the Autobots, he even sent the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and a [[Skuxxoid|freelance thug]] out to assassinate the traitor. Eventually, Cyclonus and the Sweeps seemingly plucked Octane from the Autobots' grasp on Cybertron itself, and brought him to Chaar for Galvatron to interrogate. Using the information he "coerced" from Octane, Galvatron caught Rodimus Prime alone and engaged him in single combat. Unfortunately, the whole thing was a ruse set up by Octane and Starscream's ghost, who was possessing Cyclonus at the time. Galvatron was abandoned in the presence of Rodimus, Ultra Magnus and a full Autobot battle group. In what was surely an epic battle (that we sadly didn't see a minute of), Galvatron ultimately escaped and made his way back to Chaar, deposing the usurpers and seemingly driving off the ghost of Starscream. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}}

Upon learning that the Autobots intended to host a first annual peace conference on Cybertron, Galvatron was dead set against letting their plans succeed. Despite several sabotage attempts by the Combaticons, Cyclonus and the Sweeps, though, the conference went through as planned. {{storylink|Surprise Party}}

[[File:StarscreamsGhost Galvatron smoking.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Spontaneous combustion? What the hell is th—]]
Despite Galvatron's earlier attempts to be rid of him, Starscream's ghost returned to plague the Decepticons again. He partnered with Scourge against the Decepticons, kidnapped [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], and even stole one of Trypticon's eyes, leaving Galvatron even more infuriated than usual at this constant undermining of his operations. When Starscream returned once more and possessed Trypticon himself, it was the last straw, and Galvatron led a full Decepticon battle group after "Trypticon" to Cybertron. The fighting was fruitless, and eventually the Decepticons limped away, having exhausted all their weaponry. Not long thereafter, Galvatron's [[particle cannon]] had apparently recharged, because he took several parting shots at Starscream while his "ghost" tumbled uncontrollably through space. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

[[File:GalvatronWebworld.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Well, that's all wrapped up...]]
Although Galvatron led the Decepticons on many wacky adventures against the Autobots throughout 2006, his insanity would usually lead to each mission ending in failure. (He loved shooting his own troops, for instance.) At one point, his derangement became so severe, the Decepticon "union officials" [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]], Motormaster and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] threatened to strike. The perpetually loyal Cyclonus was left little choice but to dupe Galvatron into taking therapy sessions (albeit by force) on [[Torkulon]], the therapy planet. After nearly murdering an attendant during a word-association session and somehow building a gun in an arts and crafts class, Galvatron was deemed incurable by conventional methods. The doctors attempted to use living extensions of the planet to give him a lobotomy (much to Cyclonus's disapproval), but Galvatron broke free and murdered the sentient organic core of Torkulon. While the planet's core was connected to Galvatron's mind the planet began to go mad, with several of the organic planets functions going out of control. After that, he razed the entire planet's civilization, leaving them so broken it would take centuries to rebuild. After his connection to the planet he appeared to have regained some of his sanity. {{storylink|Webworld}}

A new plan saw the Constructicons building engines into the side of a comet, with the intention to crash it into Metroplex on Earth. Unsurprisingly the engines were destroyed by the Autobots before they could even be fired up, however the comet was set on course to a nearby world. The comet was shortly obliterated by [[Harmony|sound waves]] emanating from the planet, also causing the Transformers present to plummet to its surface. Galvatron took [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]], intending to find the source of the sonic weapon and use it against the Autobots. Although the Autobots reached the city first, meeting with the leader of [[Eurythma]], the two Decepticons eavesdropped and were able to establish that they needed to talk to [[Allegra]]. After dropping a bridge on the Autobots, Galvatron and Soundwave were able to talk Allegra into giving them her part of the harmony, and then obtained the other two parts of the harmony in quick succession. The Decepticons headed for Earth to attack Metroplex. Unfortunately Soundwave's attempt to use the destructive harmony were thwarted by the Eurythmans' use of [[anti-sound]]. The Decepticons retreated, though Galvatron raged that he hadn't ordered it. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}}

[[File:BigBroadcast Galvatron with static.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb||I'm sure this can only be a good thing.]]
Galvatron was in one of his more obstinate moods when Astrotrain came to Chaar reporting on how the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] had apparently turned against the Autobots. Even when Cyclonus began advocating for intervention on the matter, Galvatron still couldn't bring himself to care. Eventually the hypnotic television signals being beamed to the Junkions to alter their behavior made their way to Galvatron, along with the rest of the galaxy. He was subliminally drawn into a massive conflict in the skies over [[Junkion (planet)|the planet of Junk]], all part of a Quintesson ploy to create a massive diversion and recover one of their lost journals from Junk. Only after [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]] jammed the signal did the television stop "bewitching" Galvatron. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}} When [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] later happened across that same Quintesson journal, Galvatron joined Cyclonus and the Sweeps in an effort to steal the journal away from both the Autobots and the Quintessons. It played like a game of hot potato for a while, but ultimately the Autobots got the journal and the Decepticons just gave up. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}}

One day, Galvatron was in the middle of a morale speech for his troops (re: right about to blast the closest Sweeps into stray particles for sheer pique), when he was interrupted by Quintesson visitors. After his last few dealings with the creatures, Galvatron was ready to blast these Quintessons all the same, but they gave him a gentle lecture about the unfairness of stereotyping which somehow convinced Galvatron to listen to the tentacled freaks. Galvatron brought Cyclonus and the five Sweeps with him to Cybertron, following the Quintessons' directions to the Autobots' new [[power core]] beneath the planet's surface. Searching for the power core, the Decepticons inadvertently let loose the monstrous [[Trans-Organic]]s and the massive energy-draining [[Dweller]]. The Dweller began leeching the life from Galvatron's troops one by one as they tried to flee from the creature. Galvatron showed his heart-felt respect for Cyclonus by throwing all the Sweeps into the creature's path ''first''. He even paused for a moment to look back when the Dweller finally caught Cyclonus as well. Galvatron didn't actually try to ''help'' or anything, but I'm sure Cyclonus would have appreciated the thought alone. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}

[[File:G1 UltimateWeapon UltimateWeapon!.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Decepticons, I have found the remote control!]]
Thanks to his plasma damage, Galvatron's sanity really had its ups and down. He was arguably on an upswing during a series of assaults on human and Autobot positions in Europe. Using the attacks as a diversion, Galvatron sent Swindle to infiltrate Metroplex and steal his transforming cog, leaving the city-bot helpless for a rematch with Trypticon. In addition, he began taunting the insecure leader Rodimus Prime with his so-called "[[Ultimate Weapon]]", a doomsday device just waiting to be unleashed. As well thought-out and cunning as this scheme may have been, it ultimately fell apart. The Autobots stole Galvatron's idea by taking Trypticon's transforming cog just as Swindle had stolen Metroplex's. Rodimus Prime eventually wised up about the "Ultimate weapon" as well: he called Galvatron's bluff and forced the Decepticon leader to admit he was holding nothing more than a 7-2 off-suit. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

Deep in space, Galvatron was attempting to surpass a Quintesson [[quadrant lock]] when the Quintessons and several Autobots interrupted his efforts. In one of his more manic phases at the time, Galvatron chose to stake his claim by hurling Cyclonus face-first through the lock once the Quintessons began to open it. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}}

Galvatron once attempted to destroy the Autobots by feeding [[anti-electron]]s into their new power generator. The initial attempt failed, so the Decepticons tried to raid Unicron's head for a new source of anti-electrons inside the planet-eater's brain. The Autobots arrived shortly after Galvatron's team, so he sent his new [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]] beasts to occupy the heroes. Galvatron was undone by his own scheming, as the anti-electrons had temporarily turned the Dinobot [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] into a super-intelligent genius. Grimlock built a new team of Autobot warriors called [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] from scratch, right inside Unicron's head. The Technobots were skilled enough to destroy Galvatron's new source of anti-electrons, and drive off the Terrorcons' combined form of [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. {{storylink| Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[File:CallPrimitives Galvatron and Cyclonus in space.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"Okay, how the hell did I fit in you?!"<br />"I don't know mighty Galvatron, but I wish you'd try more often."]]
In a major fight with the Autobots, a large number of Galvatron's troops began staring off into space in the middle of the battle. He lost some of his best soldiers to this effect, like Trypticon, the Predacons, the Terrorcons, Soundwave's Mini-Cassettes...okay, maybe not the Cassettes, but the rest were important. Galvatron ended the fight to go chasing after the deserters, only to be caught by the power of [[Tornedron]] and drained of all his energy. It was only thanks to the fleeing [[Primitive]]s that Tornedron's effect was eventually reversed. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

[[File:Matrix burden 1.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Who are YOU gonna call?]]
Galvatron was very pleased when [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] returned from a scouting mission on Earth, having beaten Rodimus Prime and claimed the Matrix of Leadership itself. Galvatron tried to load the Matrix into his particle cannon as a power source, but instead of energy blasts, it summoned the [[Ancient Autobots|ghosts of departed Autobot leaders]]. They spooked Galvatron into getting rid of the Matrix, but his underling Scourge claimed the Matrix for himself and managed to magnify his powers a thousandfold. Scourge used his newfound might to overthrow Galvatron and the loyal Cyclonus, temporarily claiming control of the Decepticons. Galvatron and Cyclonus eventually recovered and came to Earth just after Scourge lost the Matrix back to Rodimus Prime. After a few quick particle blasts for emphasis, though, Galvatron soon accepted Scourge back into the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

[[File:ReturnOptimusPrime2 Prime Galvatron.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|"Just like the good old times, isn't it Prime?"<br>"There were no good times, ya creep."]]
Galvatron and the Decepticons had arrived early to reserve their seats at a football stadium, when [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] flew in with news that Optimus Prime's body had been preserved at a nearby laboratory. Unfortunately, the Decepticons arrived just in time to be infected by the outbreak of the [[Hate Plague]]. Galvatron fled when his warriors turned crazed. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Half-mad to begin with at the best of times, Galvatron soon learned that even the one-eyed man cannot always rule the kingdom of the blind, and found himself on the run from half the galaxy. However, despite his insanity, he teamed up with the resurrected Optimus Prime to stop the [[Hate Plague]]. Galvatron wound up becoming infected by the plague and attempted to kill an unconscious Optimus Prime with an axe. Optimus woke up in the nick of time and opened the Matrix directly in Galvatron's face. The wisdom of the Matrix not only cured the universe of the Hate Plague, it cured Galvatron's madness as well. Well, kinda. Grateful, Galvatron sanely declared, "There will be no war today, Optimus. You have earned Galvatron's respect," and called a brief truce. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

In 2007, Galvatron called off the truce and led an assault on Autobot City, searching for the Key to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]]. They succeed and headed to Cybertron. Scourge was ordered to activate the chamber but the Autobots took the key but as side affect of the chamber they were sent hurling through space. Galvatron was willing to kill Scourge but [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] and Cyclonus convinced Galvatron not to. After learning what had occurred, Galvatron ordered Cyclonus to lead a team of Decepticons to find to key. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

Although seemingly lucid during this period, he formulated what was perhaps his most genocidal and unbalanced scheme ever: Having converted Cybertron into a galactic dreadnought, Galvatron manoeuvred it into Earth's orbit, planning to release the Plasma Energy Chamber's payload into Earth's sun, Sol. The resulting supernova would wipe both Earth and Cybertron off the face of the galaxy, presumably leaving Galvatron to gain mastery over everything left. Grudgingly teamed with the Transformer-[[Nebulan]] hybrid [[Scorponok (G1)|Lord Zarak]], Galvatron was eventually defeated and sent tumbling through space, ushering Cybertron into a new Golden Age. After regaining control, Galvatron vowed to collect energy from disparate corners of the galaxy and return to Cybertron: "We will attack other planets, we will suck them dry! We will build a planet a hundred times more powerful than Cybertron, and I will rule the galaxy!" Zarak made it clear he intended it to be a "we" leadership. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

After being hurled out of [[Unicron]] and into space by [[Hot Rod/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]], Galvatron's flight path was disrupted by the [[Sparkbot]]s, a trio of Unicron's servants who were already working to resurrect their master. {{Storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #51}} The Decepticon leader crash-landed on the planet [[Earth]], obliterating the city of [[Tokyo]]. This catastrophic loss of life destroyed [[Human]]-[[Transformer]] relations and led to the formation of the [[Earth Defense Command]], a governmental organization which drove Transformers from the face of the planet. Appropriating Galvatron's remains, the EDC reverse-engineered a fleet of human-operated "[[Autorooper]]" Transformers to perform this task.

As 2006 settled in, Galvatron's impact was revealed to have had an even greater effect than anyone had expected: The blast caused by his impact had scattered his Unicron-empowered cells throughout the planet's atmosphere. When his cells came into contact with other objects and animals, they fused with them, creating an army of monstrous creatures referred to as "[[Legion]]". This disastrous event also created the means to defend the world against Legion, however: When Galvatron's cells came into contact with human beings, these humans gained the ability to fuse with other entities containing his cells. With their Autoroopers being the perfect candidates for this "[[ParasiTech]]" fusion process, the EDC began recruiting and training these "[[Kiss Player]]s" as combat squads to battle the Legion.

Seeking to uncover the ulterior motives of EDC Commander [[Hitoshizuku Amaō]], Kiss Players [[Marissa Faireborn]], [[Shaoshao Li]] and [[Atari Hitotonari]] discovered the remains of Galvatron beneath the EDC headquarters. Amaō's plan to use the Legions to resurrect her daughter, who had died in Galvatron's impact, was foiled when all the Legions and Autoroopers fused with Galvatron's corpse, restoring his cells and reconstituting his body. Galvatron's body was shot back into space, where it went on to crash on Thrull. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|You, I and the Spinning Earth}}

[[File:2010manga05-title.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|Maybe your attack on the Prime Energy Tower would be more successful if at least ''one'' of your soldiers was actually ''facing'' it.]]

Galvatron had plenty of devious schemes up his sleeve throughout 2010, opening with the nutty idea of a spaceship that ate other spaceships, which Rodimus Prime promptly blew up. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 1|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #1}}

Galvatron went back to his roots for his next scheme, creating a clone army of Megatrons that he dubbed the "[[Megatron Corps]]". Galvatron disguised himself as one of the Megatrons and controlled them remotely, making them an effective fighting force that the Autobots had trouble dealing with, until his disguise was penetrated and his control over the robots broken. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 2|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #2}}

He later attacked Autobot City with [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], but was forced to retreat when [[Six-Gun]] destroyed Trypticon's controls with a blast from [[Brunt (G1)|Brunt]]. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 3|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #3}}

On one notable occasion, Galvatron challenged Rodimus Prime to a one-on-one duel in order to lure him into a trap set up in partnership with the Quintessons. In the middle of the fight, the Quintessons' newest creation, an Optimus Prime/Megatron hybrid robot known as [[Guiltaur]], arrived to attack Rodimus, but Galvatron was shocked when Guiltaur turned on him as well. Rodimus and Galvatron called a truce long enough for them to team up and destroy Guiltaur, who, it was revealed, had been possessed by Starscream's ghost. With that threat dealt with, they called off the truce. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 4|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #4}}

Next, Galvatron attempted to steal the [[Prime Energy Tower]] of the planet [[Feminia]] with an all-out assault. The Autobots defended the tower, but were overwhelmed by Galvatron's unit of [[Combiner]]s; the scales tilted in his favor thanks to the presence of [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. Galvatron's victory was assued until the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]] arrived and toppled the Combiners. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

[[File:United Expanded Story 8.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]

Galvatron and the Decepticons intercepted a transmission about the Autobots picking up a rare treasure on [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]]. Unaware that the "treasure" was merely a lost piece of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s armor, and held only sentimental value, Galvatron launched an attack to retrieve it. {{storylink|Unending Battle}}

As the battle raged, an exiled [[Quintesson]] known as the [[Seeker (United)|Seeker]] arrived on Junk, and captured Galvatron and the other Transformers for his private collection. They were teleported aboard a massive transparent treasure ship for storage and viewing. {{Storylink|A Treasure Lost}} The Seeker wished to study the unique reformatting process undergone by Galvatron and his minions. They were placed inside stasis chamber and time itself rewound around them to the very moment that [[Unicron]] transformed them into what they had become. {{storylink|Eternal Moment}}

A Junkion named [[Scrapheap (G1)|Scrapheap]] freed the captives, and Galvatron discovered his body transformed by the Seeker's manipulations, giving a new tank mode and dramatically increased power. The Transformers began their escape before their "host" could place them back in stasis. {{Storylink|Time to Move}} The Seeker himself had evolved into a state of pure information, and the more of his treasure ship was destroyed, the more information that made up his being was lost. Eventually, the Seeker winked out of existence as his ship sustained more damage than it could hold. {{storylink|Those Who Resist}}

As the Autobots and Decepticons prepared to return to their respective armies, the last of the Seeker's extra energy faded from Galvatron and the others. Although the two groups had worked side-by-side during the crisis, the old arguments quickly rose anew and the factions parted with only a momentary truce. {{Storylink|A Treasure's True Worth}}

Later in 2010, Galvatron kidnapped Doctor [[Dalton (G1)|Dalton]], a brilliant scientist from the planet [[Eran]], but Dalton refused to work with the Decepticons and lent his aid to the Autobots instead, upgrading the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] so they could defeat the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

One of the Terrorcons' upgrades included a sticky goo that forced the Technobots into working for the Decepticons. Through the intervention of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] the Technobots were freed and the Terrorcons defeated. Galvatron cursed the human for interfering, but declared that his next evil scheme would be one the Autobots would never forget. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 2|The Great Transformer War #2}}

After the resurrection of Optimus Prime and the curing of the Hate Plague, Galvatron hastily broke his vow that there would be no war, and he, Cyclonus and Scourge battled Prime, Hot Rod and [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] in space, only to be defeated. Galvatron immediately returned to [[Chaar]] and dispatched [[Sixshot]] to retrieve the Decepticon Headmasters, as he had need of them for his assault on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 3|The Great Transformer War #3}}

[[File:FourWarriors Galvatron abuses Skullcruncher.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|BEG FOR MERCY!]]
In 2011, a side effect of releasing the Matrix's energy to cure the Hate Plague was revealed when the mega-computer [[Vector Sigma]] began to destabilize. Seeking to exploit this imbalance, Galvatron attacked Cybertron, his forces now bolstered by the addition of new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] warriors from the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. When encountering the Dinobots, Galvatron ordered Mindwipe to use his hypno powers to put them to sleep. However Skullcruncher got in the way and fell asleep. Galvatron was peeved at Skullcruncher and abused him. Galvatron engaged Optimus Prime and Jazz in battle but was forced to run. Soon after Galvatron ordered Mindwipe to use his hypnotic powers to stop the Dinobots (again) and the Throttlebots but a [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|giant spaceship]] appeared and four Autobot Headmaster warriors came from the ship and stopped them from going any further. They introduced themselves as the Autobots Headmaster warriors [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]], [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]], [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], and [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}}

While the arrival of the team of Autobot Headmasters repelled the invasion, Galvatron attempted to stop Fortress Maximus after he beat four of the best Decepticon combiners but was beaten and forced to temporarily retreat. It was then revealed that the Matrix was hidden somewhere on Earth, recharging, and the race began to acquire it and use it to gain control over Vector Sigma. Soon after the race began, [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]] fought and killed each other. Galvatron was not happy. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Galvatron later visited the Decepticon base on Earth to find out what Hot Rod was after. [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] asked Galvatron if [[Sixshot]] was suitable to lead to troops at the base, leading Galvatron to suspect Cyclonus had a treacherous plan until Cyclonus reaffirmed his loyalty. After finding out that Hot Rod was after the Matrix, Galvatron, the Decepticon Headmasters and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] went to stop him. Galvatron got the Matrix but Chromedome knocked it out of his hand a second later. Galvatron was also attacked by [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. Hot Rod ultimately succeeded in obtaining the Matrix and becoming Rodimus Prime again, and he and Optimus Prime joined forces to defeat Galvatron. Though beaten in battle, Galvatron did at least take solace in the fact that Optimus Prime once again met his end. Only the Autobots that were there seemed to care that he was dead. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

Later Galvatron decided to have another crack at taking control of Vector Sigma by creating the [[Madmachine]]. To aid him in this plan he revived Soundwave as Soundblaster using [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s Transtector technology. Galvatron then ordered Sixshot to test the Madmachine on Metroplex. Following the test's successful completion, he ordered Sixshot to retreat. Galvatron had the Madmachine and the Decepticon Headmasters sent to Cybertron to take control of Vector Sigma. He gave control of it to Soundblaster, however Galvatron's base on Charr was invaded by Blaster who had been revived as Twincast. The Autobot destroyed the Control in Soundblaster’s chest. This allowed the Autobot Headmasters to destroy the Madmachine. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}.

[[File:HM7 Galvatron meets Scorponok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Galvatron occupied planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]] and took most of the civilians (known as [[Beastformer]]s) prisoner, except for those who would follow him. Galvatron was informed by [[Alligatron]] of Fortress Maximus’s arrival on Beast. Galvatron ordered the Beastformers and Decepticons to destroy the Autobots. When Rodimus arrived Galvatron showed up and battled Rodimus. Cyclonus and Scourge tried to help but damaged Galvatron instead. Galvatron continued to fight Rodimus but was forced into retreat after Fortress Maximus came and attacked him. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}}.

After the failure of losing Beast, Galvatron created a meteorite nicknamed [[Metamorphose]], intended to destroy Athenia. No Transformer could approach it, as it knocked them out with electrical overload. Its first victims were the Aerialbots, who were temporarily deactivated when they approached it. Then the Throttlebots became victims. However, the Autobots had [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]], a human who was not affected by it. While Fortress and the other Autobot Headmasters distracted the Decepticons, Daniel sneaked into Metamorphose and disabled it, saving Athenia and once again foiling Galvatron's plans. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

[[File:Cybertonuronsword.jpg|left|thumb|Excalibur, BE MY STRENGTH!]]
Galvatron was getting unhappy about his troops' failures and was starting to lose his composure. Cyclonus tried to calm his leader down by reaffirming his loyalty how the mighty Galvatron never fails. However, this did not calm Galvatron down. When Scourge informed Galvatron that Decepticon Headmaster leader [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] had arrived, Galvatron started blaming the Decepticon Headmasters for his failures as well. Then, from the shadows, Scorponok explained that he had a plan to stop the Autobot Headmasters. Galvatron approved, but only after blaming him for the loss of Planet Beast. When the plan failed, Galvatron himself arrived. He and the Decepticon Headmasters almost defeated the Autobots, but Rodimus Prime, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the [[Trainbot]]s arrived and outnumbered them, forcing Galvatron to retreat. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}}

Later a [[Sixshot|shadowy figure]] appeared on TV and demanded Earth's energy. Cyclonus and Scourge suggested that when the shadowy figure would get the energy, they should take it from him. After an argument between them Galvatron approved the plan. Galvatron later found out that their plan failed and that they stole Trypticon, who had been damaged in a fight with the Autobot Headmasters and [[Raiden]]. He was far from happy. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

[[File:Sosfromsandra magnus pwns galvy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Sanctuary!!! Sanctuary!!! Sanctuary!!!]]
After many failed attempts to control Cybertron, Galvatron set his sights on [[Cybertonuron]], a powerful new alloy being developed by Vector Sigma. The Decepticon Headmaster leader, Scorponok, advocated the destruction of the alloy to prevent the Autobots from obtaining it, but when Galvatron refused to consider the notion, Scorponok took matters into his own hands and had powerful bombs planted in Vector Sigma's chamber. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Scorponok told Galvatron what he had done, and the enraged Decepticon leader ran into the chamber to try and stop the explosion, only to be caught in the blast. Cybertron was reduced to a burnt-out husk, and Galvatron was left missing in action. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

Galvatron was thought dead for some time, and during his absence, Scorponok proclaimed himself the new Decepticon leader, only for Galvatron to turn up alive and well during his coronation. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

Cyclonus and Scourge reported a destress call from plant Sandra and reported it to Galvatron. Scorponok suggested that it was a minor matter that was of no concern. Galvatron partly agreed but ordered Ratbat to check up on the Autobot's in case they picked up on the SOS. Ratbat later returned and informed Galvatron the Autobots will be gathering a lot of energy to help Sandra. Galvatron saw this as an opportunity to take it and headed to Earth with the Terrorcons, Constructicons and Sixshot. Just as Ultra Magnus learned of Galvatrons arrivel, Galvatron himself arrived. They cons attacked the Trainbots who were trying to transport the energy but got occupied with the Protectobot's and Technobots. Galvatron battled Ultra Magnus but was quickly defeated. The Autobots soon stopped trying to transport the energy to Sandra from Earth and said the energy will be taken from Athenia to Sandra instead. Galvatron was confused but had Scorponok on stand by in case anything happened. After Scorponok failed to stop Fortress Maximus from help Galvatron himself apperead. He attempted to find the energy from Fortress Maximus but was overpowered by the Autobot Headmasters and forced to retreat. {{Storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

[[File:HM25 Galvatron disappears.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Ice! My only weakness!"]]
Sixshot came up with an idea to set [[Grand Galvatron|Galvatron's plan]] into action: wipe out the Autobots. Galvatron approved and had the Combaticons, the Terrorcons, the Stunticons and the Horrorcons sent with him to Earth. This plan resulted in the death of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}

After returning to Earth with a massive stockpile of [[energon]], Galvatron confided to his most trusted warrior, [[Sixshot]], that he intended to use the energon as part of a process that would transform Earth into a new, all-powerful, Unicron-like body for him, dubbed "[[Grand Galvatron]]". Additionally, he explained that this process would require only the best components from his most powerful warriors, making it quite clear that he intended to sacrifice Sixshot and the other Decepticons for this insane ambition. Aghast, Sixshot betrayed Galvatron to Scorponok as quickly as possible, leaving the Decepticon leader alone to battle the Autobot Headmasters in Alaska. Thankfully for the Autobots, their double-agent [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] had eavesdropped on Galvatron and Sixshot's conversation, during which Galvatron had revealed that his head was his weakest point. With this information to aid them, the Headmasters entered [[Head Formation]] and laid Galvatron low, collapsing an iceberg on top of him and entombing him in ice. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

After this, Scorponok took control of the Decepticons again. In a meeting with the other Decepticons, he vowed to defeat the Autobots and control Earth in Galvatron's memory. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}}

==Notes==
*In all [[AKOM]]-animated episodes, Galvatron is rendered with a subtly different, oudated [[character model|color model]], which makes his feet black instead of grey, and gives him a pale purple pelvis, instead of it being the same shade of purple as the rest of him.
*According to [[Teletraan II]]'s [[Secret Files of Teletraan II|secret files]], Galvatron was reformed from Megatron by Unicron in an attempt to bolster the Decepticon's strength and to lead the Decepticons into a new era. The fact that this information conflicts with the events as depicted in the movie may say something about the quality of the Autobots' intelligence regarding the Decepticon cause.
*In the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (manga)|''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' manga]], [[Makoto (FSRL)|Makoto]] has a transforming Galvatron [[Wrist-communicator|wristwatch]] that was first available in Japan during the 1980s. However, at the time of the story, Galvatron did not yet exist in-continuity. The circumstances behind this are best not thought about.

Bonded to the [[Transtector]] from the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], Shūta became '''Goshooter''' (ゴーシューター ''Gōshūtā''), a [[Headmaster Junior]] and a true Autobot warrior, able to help his friends an allies in new, dangerous, but always exciting ways.

Whether in the form of a human or a Transformer, Shūta is always eager for new challenges and willing to jump into dangerous situations without hesitation... or thought, really. He means well, but he tends to leap before he looks, and his brain-mouth filter could use some work. A skilled soccer player, Shūta is close friends (and friendly rivals) with fellow Headmaster Junior [[Cab (human)|Cab]], and they both have a slight crush on their teammate [[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]].

[[File:Shuta on bike.jpg|left|thumb|He should really have a helmet on.]]

Once upon a time, Shūta had a pretty normal life. He went to school, he did his homework, and he was friends with one of the scientists at his father's observatory research center, "Mr. Hawk," who trained him and helped him to improve his soccer skills. On the day that a cruise liner was sunk off the coast of [[Canada]] by two [[Blood|monstrous]] [[Gilmer|creatures]], however, everything changed. Mr. Hawk revealed to Shūta that he was not from Earth—in truth, he was [[Metalhawk (Masterforce)|Metalhawk]], leader of a secret cell of Autobot [[Pretender]]s who had long been protecting [[Earth]] in secret. The monstrous creatures were [[Decepticon]]s, who had restarted their campaign against Earth, and Metalhawk and the Pretenders were forced to return to battle once more. Shūta followed Metalhawk into the nearby city on his motorcycle to watch him battle a [[Tentakil (Masterforce)|Tentakil]], but wound up trapped in the clutches on the slimy [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacon]]. With the help of his fellow Pretenders, Metalhawk defeated the Decepticons and rescued Shūta. {{storylink|Rise Up!! Pretenders}}

When news of a Decepticon attack on the [[Karin Islands]] reached the Autobots, Shūta convinced Metalhawk to allow him to go along. On the Karin Islands, he met the local prince, Cab, but their first encounter was a rough one, with Cab attacking Shūta because he thought he was a robot in disguise like the Pretenders. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up and the Decepticons were defeated, the two boys became quite friendly, and Cab decided to accompany Shūta and the Pretenders back to Japan. Upon their return, however, the group discover that Shūta's father's observatory had been attacked by the Decepticons, and Professor Go had been fatally wounded. The professor handed Shūta the key to the Autobots' new base and died before his son's eyes. {{storylink|Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt}}

[[File:Shuta armor.jpg|thumb|.....told ya.]]

Shūta and Cab soon found something else to fight over when they met [[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]], a young girl from [[Mont Porte]], while helping the Autobots to rescue the scientist [[Blanieux|Professor Blanieux]] from the Decepticons. Shūta and Cab proved instrumental in saving the professor, overpowering a [[Destroid]] [[stewardess]] that had been sent to capture him, and Minerva joined them in attending the [[International School]]. {{storylink|Kidnapping!? The Targeted Jumbo Jet}}

Not long thereafter, Shūta, Cab and Minerva's determination to help the Autobots in their fight prompted Metalhawk to make them a remarkable offer. Given [[Master-Brace]]s, which enhanced their strength and reflexes with [[Chōkon Power]], and [[Transtector]]s to which they could bond, the three kids became [[Headmaster Junior]]s and could now fight alongside the Autobots as true Transformer warriors. Shūta had to learn, however, that his powers were for rescuing innocents first and fighting Decepticons second. His first clash with the Decepticons' own team of Headmaster Juniors put his resolve to the test when he had to rescue a baby from a burning building without sinking to the Decepticon Juniors' level and fighting back. Metalhawk helped to take out the young punks, and Shūta saved the child, in the process learning the importance of putting the lives of others ahead of defeating his enemies. {{storylink|Birth! Headmaster Jrs}}

Despite learning this lesson, Shūta's new powers still made him a touch on the arrogant side, and a chewing-out from his soccer coach was soon followed by a trip to America to [[Holographic battle drone|train]] with [[Diver (Masterforce)|Diver]]. He and Cab mastered their teamwork fighting Seacons and the Decepticon Juniors again, {{storylink|Rage!! Little Devils with No Need for Rules}} and later on during their American vacation, Shūta was instrumental in rescuing a boy named [[Chris]] from [[Wilder (Masterforce)|Wilder]]. {{storylink|Go, Goshooter - Showdown in the Wasteland}}

[[File:Shuta cab rivals.jpg|left|thumb|They aren't fighting...their hair just got tangled.]]

Back in Japan, Shūta, Cab and Minerva enrolled in a hang-gliding contest, during which they came under attack from the newest addition to the Decepticon army, the [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] brothers, [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]]. {{storylink|Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers}} After a further altercation with the new villains in the Karin Islands, Shūta demanded to know why the Autobots did not have Godmasters of their own, {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Autobots Are in Trouble}} but his wish soon came true with the appearance of [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]]. Shūta and the Autobot Juniors travelled to America to meet their new comrade, {{storylink|Ginrai: God On of Rage!!}} and soon after, welcomed him to Japan when he came to visit the Autobot base. This also proved to be the first chance to battle alongside him, when they all tangled with the Decepticon Juniors and briefly captured [[Cancer (Masterforce)|Cancer]]. {{storylink|A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva}} Friendship came quickly between Ginrai and the Juniors, and Shūta gave him the grand tour of the Autobot base. {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}}

Summer got off to a rocky start when Shūta attempted to stop Cab from peeping on Minerva and the other female pupils during their swimming classes at school, {{storylink|Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}} but once summer vacation set in, the team enjoyed a trip to the Rocky Mountains in Canada, where they met [[Ranger]]. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}} The summer held several more exciting times for Shūta, like when he was mistaken for Ginrai by [[Sixknight]] {{storylink|A Powerful Foe!! Sixknight the Wanderer}} or when he met the famous F1 racer [[Road King]] (who turned out to be a Godmaster). {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}} Even a return trip to the Karin Islands resulted in more mayhem when the Autobots became caught up in another Decepticon plot in the area. {{storylink|Save the Little Girl! The Chōjin Warriors, the Godmasters}}

[[File:Goshooter birthhmjrs.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Domo Arigato, Mister Roboto]]

As the new school term began, a strange television program caught Shūta and Cab's attention when the mysterious fortuneteller featured on the show revealed the existence of the Autobots and Decepticons to the world. This was, of course, a Decepticon plot to turn Humanity against the Autobots, and Shūta and the Juniors did their part to help turn public opinion around by helping rescue people from a flood caused by the villains. {{storylink|Expose the Decepticons' Dark Trap!}}

Shūta and the other Juniors were left with little to do when the Autobots funnelled their resources into the "Bomber Project", aiming to create [[Godbomber]], a drone that would give Ginrai the power to fly and fight in space to battle the approaching Decepticon super-weapon [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]]. After BlackZarak was repelled, however, the Juniors discovered that they too possessed a link with Godbomber and were able to control and transform it by uniting their Chōkon Power. {{storylink|Destroy Godbomber!!}}

Shūta tasted the bitterness of true defeat when the final Godmaster, [[Clouder]], sided with the Decepticons and helped arrange an assault on the Autobot base. With only Shūta, his fellow Juniors and Metalhawk to protect it, the base was a lost cause, but Shūta refused to abandon his father's last great work. Nonetheless, the base was destroyed by the Decepticons' attack. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

During a later outer space battle with BlackZarak and the Decepticons, [[Grand Maximus]]'s battleship was sent plummeting into Earth's atmosphere when its tachyon converter was knocked offline. Setting personal safety aside, it was Shūta who saved the day by donning a [[jet pack|rocket pack]] and reactivating the converter. When the ship reactivated with a judder, he was thrown free and continued his searing re-entry, only to be swept up by Ginrai just before impacting. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction}}

While searching for the Decepticon base, Shūta was approached by the repentant Clouder, who offered to take him there. Shūta warily agreed to accompany to see if his claim was legitimate before radioing the other Autobots, but while Clouder's intentions were good, the other Decepticons caught wind of the pair's approach and ambushed them. Captured and thrown in a dungeon, Shūta naturally assumed Clouder had betrayed him and began pummeling the Godmaster. [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] was gentlemanly enough to correct Shūta's misconception, but proceeded to use the Headmaster Junior as a bargaining chip, summoning Ginrai to the base in exchange for his supposed safety. Held in the grip of [[King Poseidon]], Shūta cried out for his commander to forget about him and fight back against Overlord. Thankfully, the equation was soon balanced out by Cancer, who turned against the Decepticons and freed Shūta. Decepticon defeat and Autobot escape immediately followed, {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} and not long after, Shūta participated in a large-scale Autobot attack on the Decepticon base, culminating in its destruction. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

On a mission to stop BlackZarak in the Grand Canyon, Shūta, the other Juniors and Ranger were attacked by King Poseidon, and Shūta was seized by Buster and had a gun put to his head. The tables were luckily turned by the arrival of Ginrai, and the Decepticons retreated to Europe. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}} Shūta and the Juniors again ran afoul of King Poseidon as the team scaled the Matterhorn, {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} and they could only watch and cheer as Ginrai engaged in his final battle with BlackZarak. When the Decepticon adopted a new, serpentine form, Ginrai called upon Shūta and the Juniors for their power, and the three kids were transported into his chest cockpit. There, they added their Chōkon Power to Ginrai's to create the "Final Fire Guts" attack, with which BlackZarak and Devil Z were both finally destroyed.

In the wake of Devil Z's destruction, however, the bond between the Autobots and their Transtectors was broken, and Shūta became a normal kid again as [[Goshooter|his now-living Transtector]] and those of all the other Autobots headed into space to continue the fight against the Decepticons. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

Shūta Gō would one day reunite with his living transtector, [[Goshooter]]. He would obtain a new form of transtector from the factory in [[G Nebula 89]], becoming a "Godmaster Jr". This new form of the [[Masterforce]] system allowed Shūta to transform into a helicoper and into a plasma energy rifle that endowed the holder with [[Chōkon Power]]. {{storylink|#Generations|''Generations'' Shūta Gō bio}} Eager to show off his new power, he got his chance when [[Darkwings]], [[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]], and [[Blue Bacchus]] attacked the [[Second Army]] at G Nebula 89 in an attempt to capture the transtector factory. Before he got to action, though, he bickered with Goshooter over whether it was safe to use his still-unfamiliar abilities. Black Shadow eventually got sick of their arguing and shot at them, prompting the duo into action. With Shūta as the plasma rifle, they were able to blast the [[Crossformer]]s away with a combination of all three types of Chōkon. Darkwings fled in fear, and the two partners went back to verbally one-upping each other, to the annoyance of their comrades. {{storylink|Train Wars: Goshooter & Shūta Gō Chapter}}

When [[The Fallen]] attacked [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the hopes of merging with [[Vector Sigma]], [[Overdrive]] sought additional help using the power of his [[Quantum Dial]]. Further empowering the dial with the help of the Oracle, Overdrive reached across space and time to recruit Goshooter and Shūta Gō, as well as other inter-dimensional warriors.

The reinforcements were no match for the Fallen's combination mode, however, and soon Goshooter and Shūta Gō were the only warriors left untouched. The two of them tag-teamed the Fallen's minion [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]], using a love of soccer to kick the villain into submission. When Goshooter was impaled by the Fallen's spikes, though, Shūta and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] attempted to stop the Fallen from assimilating Vector Sigma. Shūta was nearly consumed along with the orb, but Daniel and his partner Shouki blasted them free. Shūta turned Vector Sigma over to Goshooter, who scored a big goal by kicking the orb right into the Fallen's ugly face.

When the battle was over, Shouki and Goshooter said their goodbyes while Shūta teased Daniel about his age. {{storylink|Train Wars 2}}

===Manga continuity===

[[File:Shuta manga.jpg|left|thumb]]

When the Decepticon Pretenders attacked the Karin Islands, Shūta accompanied his Autobot friend Metalhawk there and attempted to persuade the local prince, Cab, to back down from the fight. Cab responded by slugging Shūta one and telling the foreigner to keep out of it, but was shocked into silence when the Pretenders dropped their disguises and revealed their robotic forms. Shūta explained the origins of the Pretenders as Metalhawk routed the Decepticons, and said that he would introduce Cab to the Autobot hero. {{storylink|Gods? Devils? The Pretenders}}

Back in Japan, Cab and Shūta attended the International School together and soon discovered that Metalhawk had recruited their classmate, Minerva. Metalhawk explained that the three kids were going to help fight the Decepticons, and after a period of intensive training, they were given Master-Braces and Transtectors and became Headmaster Juniors. Shūta and Cab immediately went joyriding in their Transtectors and ran into trouble when they encountered a [[Lobclaw]] Seacon, but Metalhawk saved them—though not without chastising them for their lack of teamwork. {{storylink|Headmaster Jrs Are Born}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Burn, Super Soul! The New Commander Super Ginrai!}} {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Super-God Combination!}}}}

[[File:Shuta cab manga torture.jpg|thumb|Pretenders: Sadists in disguise?]]

During a later battle between Metalhawk and Blood, Metalhawk summoned the Headmaster Juniors to aid in the rescue effort in the surrounding city. Shūta and Minerva were forced to sneak out of the International School dormitory, and they and Cab then met their opposite numbers in the Decepticon Headmaster Juniors, whom they defeated. Shūta was not best pleased about having had his night's sleep ruined, but Minerva pointed out that it was Sunday tomorrow anyway. {{storylink|Destined Confrontation: The Children of Good and Evil}}

Shūta and the Juniors soon met and befriended the Autobot Godmaster Ginrai, {{storylink|Enter on the Stage! The Name of the Savior Is Ginrai!}} and later travelled to the planet [[Athenia]] to see him be appointed [[Supreme Commander]] of the Autobots. {{storylink|The Battle Begins! The United Earth-Space Troops}}

At one point, Shūta and Cab were captured by the Decepticons and tortured by Blood. [[Mega]] and [[Giga]] hoped that the two boys would join their twisted Decepticon family, but Shūta refuted the notion that the villains were any kind of family at all. Thankfully, they were rescued by Minerva and Ginrai, and as they recuperated, the boys laughed about how the two seemed to be filling the roles of their mother and father. {{storylink|The Earth Family of Good and Evil}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Decepticons' Great Counterattack!}} {{storylink|Live? Die?! The Desperate Super-God Combination}} {{storylink|Great Turn-Around! Autobots}}}}

In the final battle against BlackZarak, the villain turned on his fellow Decepticons, leading them to unite with the Autobots in defeating him. All of the Transformers boarded Grand Maximus and charged him with their energy before he crashed straight into BlackZarak, obliterating him and Devil Z. The death of Devil Z caused the bond between the humans and their Transtectors to be broken, and Shūta became a normal kid again as [[Goshooter|his now-living Transtector]] and those of all the other Autobots headed into space to continue the fight against the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Birth of the Super Lifeforms}}

====''Victory'' manga====
[[File:Shuta victory manga.jpg|thumb|left|[https://youtu.be/dsw-KSiO0VE?t=13s Saint Seiya!]]]
When a new Transformer war erupted on Earth, Shūta and Cab decided to check out the new Supreme Commander, [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], thinking that he wasn't a patch on God Ginrai. They appeared in the middle of a battle between Star Saber and the Decepticons, lecturing the adopted human sons of the two faction leaders ([[Jan Minakaze]] of the Autobots and [[Solon Kitakaze (Victory)|Solon Kitakaze]] of the Decepticons) on how much better Ginrai was. In mid-pontification, however, the boys were attacked by [[Dinoforce]] member [[Kakuryu]]. Star Saber swooped in to save them and hurled Kakuryu over a cliff, but as the Decepticon clawed at the edge of the crevice, Star Saber showed mercy and helped him back up. This was enough to convince Shūta and Cab that Star Saber was a good egg, and they cemented their friendship with Jan. {{storylink|Warrior of Love, Star Saber!}} Jan was later invited by the boys to Cab's treehouse, but that didn't turn out to be such a good idea, since [[Yokuryu]] smashed up the place and captured Jan. {{storylink|Watch Out, Jan! Hurry, Star Saber!}}

Shūta and Cab established themselves as members of Star Saber's Autobot warriors when they got new suits of armor modeled on the [[Brainmaster]]s. (Shūta wore a suit based on [[Braver]].) {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} Their little group of armored humans, the "[[Victories]]", was soon joined by Jan's sister [[Patty Minakaze|Patty]] to whom both boys took a liking, {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}} despite her making the boys scrub and clean the Autobot base. {{storylink|Mighty! Victory Saber}} More surprisingly, they were joined by Solon, who betrayed the Decepticons when he learned his true heritage. With their team now completed, they were able to channel their power into their respective Autobot counterparts to form the Victory Blade attack, soundly thrashing [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] and [[Liokaiser]] in one blast. {{storylink|Shine! The Five Stars of Victory}}

Shūta, Cab and the other Victories were all aboard [[Galaxy Shuttle]] during the final battle between the Autobots and Deathsaurus's planet-destroying fortress. When the battle was done, they all boarded the fortress with the other Autobots and Decepticons and witnessed Deathsaurus's disclosure that the fortress contained all the Decepticon civilians. This revelation led to the laying down of Autobot and Decepticon arms and the beginning of a new age of peace. Shūta and Cab glomped Patty in happiness. {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War}}

[[File:Goshooter toy.jpg|thumb|130px]]

:Shūta Gō's [[transtector]] transforms into a white [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Mazda RX|Mazda RX-7]] police car. The roof is hinged and can be opened to reveal an interior in which Shūta can sit, using his head-mode helmet as a seat. His head guns can be stored on the hood while his rifle can be plugged onto the roof.

: In robot mode, like all Headmaster toys, the Goshooter transtector has a flip-down panel on its chest which covers a spring-loaded mini-[[Tech Spec|Tech-Spec]]-meter which gives reads for Speed, Strength, and Intelligence. The tumblers are activated when Shūta (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into his neck socket. Shūta has the transtector's face plainly visible on his back because, as a smaller Headmaster toy, he lacks the flip-down panel featured on larger Headmasters.

:Goshooter shares a mold with the American Headmaster [[Siren (G1)#Generation 1|Siren]], but it is unclear which character came first in the design process.

A [[retool]] of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|Bumblebee]], Goshooter transforms into a sports car that mimics the original toy's police deco (the most obvious omission being his lightbar) and comes with two blasters which peg via [[5mm post]] into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon. Magazine previews have shown the combined weapon attached to Goshooter's leg as a booster to give him superpowered kicks.

:Meanwhile, Shūta transforms into a helicopter, a robot with [[C joint|3mm-compatible]] hands, and a 5mm-handle weapon to be held by the Transtector. His robot mode deco harkens to his armoured appearance in ''Masterforce'', complete with green visor.

Are we sure that Prowls' descriptor on the cast page is an error? Listing his function as "Prowl" is quite apt. [[User:Howling Fist|Howling Fist]] ([[User talk:Howling Fist|talk]]) 11:55, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

Name: "Prowl", function: "Prick"... [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 12:00, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

::Fair point. I'd construed it as a joke, but yeah given the rest of the issue it could easily be an error. [[User:Howling Fist|Howling Fist]] ([[User talk:Howling Fist|talk]]) 14:01, 22 April 2015 (EDT)
:::I hope it's deliberate; I thought it was cute and, indeed, apt. --[[User:MissRatbat|MissRatbat]] ([[User talk:MissRatbat|talk]]) 23:20, 22 April 2015 (EDT)
:::I'd say it's fairly clear that the "Prowl" label isn't supposed to be there; on top of the fact that there are so many errors in this issue and that it doesn't mesh with previous Roll Calls, what I think cinches it for me is that it's in all-caps, when the other character "titles" use sentence case. With that in mind, should the "well it MIGHT not be an error" part be kept? I vote no. [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 07:24, 23 April 2015 (EDT)

==Errors - speaking what you say==
On "Uh, presumably that was supposed to be 'speak everything they think.'" - in context, that reading doesn't really make sense. Windblade is talking about subtext, so "say" means "communicate," whether directly or indirectly, as opposed to "speak," meaning to voice aloud - "think" would make the whole statement a non sequitur.

It's ... kind of a clever line, actually?

If ever there was a robot in need of years in [[Torkulon|therapy]], '''Cloudraker''' is he. Nothing is good enough for him. He envies his younger clone brother [[Fastlane]]'s popularity and social skills, wishes he was on the ground with people while simultaneously being terrifed of being grounded. In response to this fear he flies as high as possible, but then becomes frustrated by being bound in an atmosphere. Internal malfunctions lead him to feel claustrophobic at all times, even when flying in an empty sky. Simply a mass of crossed circuits, phobias and frustrations, it's a wonder he's able to function at all. On top of the psychological problems he can also suffer "[[mode lock|mode-lock]]", trapping him in one form.

Upon arriving on Cybertron, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] told Fastlane and Cloudraker to search for [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] and the rest of the Autobots who had travelled to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} Since Kup's crew were on a plasma-charged rocket ship halfway to [[Nebulos]] by that point, the Clones had little luck finding them. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

===''The Headmasters'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Ken Yamaguchi]] (Japanese)

Fastlane and Cloudraker were once friends with another pair of Cybertronian Clones named [[Pounce]] and [[Wingspan]]. The two duos lost contact with each other for some time, during which Pounce and Wingspan joined the Decepticons. Fastlane and Cloudraker were confronted by their old friends, who were looking to take a golden skull from their Autobot counterparts and use it to collect a unique energy source from the [[Pirate Planet]]. While trying to keep the skull from the Decepticon Clones, Cloudraker and his brother made contact with the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] aboard the Battleship Maximus. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

The Clones accompanied the Headmasters back to Earth, and remained there allied with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] when [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] took his men to defend the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. As the Decepticons began a series of attacks around the globe, Spike dispatched Fastlane, Cloudraker and the [[Throttlebot]]s to Santiago, Chile to investigate the emergence of one of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s Death Towers. They were thoroughly trounced by [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who was guarding the tower. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
Following the destruction of Cybertron's [[energon]] supply by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Cloudraker and Fastlane were on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s team for a mission to destroy the [[Nullification Cannon]]. The two clones dealt with [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] by luring him through a door and then clocking him on the head with a metal bar. Once the coast was clear, Optimus insisted on going on alone. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
Fastlane and Cloudraker served as security officers for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] inside the [[Garrus-9]] penitentiary. When the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] raided the facility, the clones fought alongside [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], but ultimately failed to prevent the Decepticons from making off with the [[Pretender Monster|Monstructor Six]]. Cloudraker fell in battle along with several Technobots, but the extent of his injuries was unclear. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}}

He later got to go "oooh, shiny!" at a deactivated [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Fastlane and Cloudraker were hanging out at the [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]-run [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]]. {{storylink|Night and the City}}

===Generation 1===
*'''Fastlane & Cloudraker''' (Clones, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 [[Gravity-rod rifle]]s

: Cloudraker was available in a two-pack with his brother/clone, Fastlane. He transforms into a futuristic jet fighter. Cloudraker has two heat-sensitive [[rubsign]]s on his chest—one indicates he is an Autobot, the other reveals a plane image, indicating which Clone he is. This is especially useful for those times when you can't just turn him over and see the cockpit sticking out of his crotch.
