[[File:GalvatronII.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Well, it's heavy.]]
When [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] was defeated, betrayed, and cast helplessly adrift in deep space, [[Unicron]] reshaped his remains into '''Galvatron'''. In one possible timeline, the Chaos-Bringer succeeded in consuming [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and granted his faithful herald freedom and the rule of [[Earth]]. But Galvatron has found, to his great chagrin, that his servitude would not end there. Unicron reached through time itself and plucked his creation away from his triumphant reward, forcing him to repeat his old mission. Rebellious and scheming, his mind slowly being eaten by madness, this "Galvatron II" is a rogue danger to all.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
In the year [[2005]], [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] fell in battle against an [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and was cast into space by [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]. His mind still functioned, but barely. Wracked by madness, he welcomed oblivion, but that relief was denied him by Unicron. Desiring a flawless servant, Unicron re-created Megatron into the cold and clinical Galvatron. But the remnants of Megatron's insanity remained, eating away at Galvatron's precision. {{storylink|A Savage Circle}}

[[File:Nyc-alternate-future1.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Galvatron II is why you have to take your shoes off at the airport.]]
This did not prevent Unicron from achieving his goal, however. Cybertron was destroyed, and Unicron freed Galvatron to do with Earth as he pleased. By the year 2009, the Decepticons had conquered the Americas, but Galvatron's madness had grown. One benign symptom was a tendency to give impromptu speeches about himself in the third person. And more alarmingly, he once rescued [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] from an Autobot attack and then immediately destroyed him for having needed to be rescued at all. He also continued to "kill" a long-dead [[Hot Rod/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]], whose remains he'd strung up on what was left of the [[World Trade Center]]. He knew that the [[human]]s' European Crisis Coalition was planning a nuclear strike, but he was glad for it, believing the Decepticons' force-field could absorb the energy of the attack. [[Wildfly]], [[Icepick (G1)|Icepick]], and [[Slog (G1)|Slog]] were not so confident and worried where their boss's plans were taking them.

On the eve of the nuclear launch, a small team of Autobots and humans struck at the Decepticon Powerbase in [[New York City|New York]], hoping to send a message to the world that there was still an active resistance movement in North America. The battle took its toll in casualties, but the plan succeeded as [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] unfurled an [[United States of America|American]] flag atop a Decepticon tower, causing the Crisis Coalition to call off the strike with just a few minutes remaining. Galvatron took aim at Spike, but [[Hook, Line, and Sinker]] suddenly materialized and subdued Galvatron, then whisked him away. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}} They took him back to their own time, the year 1990. There, Unicron was planning an imminent attack on Cybertron, and, as per his ''modus operandi,'' he wanted a herald. However, in an unusual move, he had decided to pluck one from a "possible future". {{storylink|All Fall Down}} Galvatron was understandably angry at being forced back into servitude, but he acquiesced when reminded of Unicron's capacity to torture him. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm}}

[[File:Galvatron2screened.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Galvatron activates the Cone of Silence.]]
Unicron sent Galvatron to attack Cybertron, and there Galvatron soon began to work against him. He followed [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]] beneath Cybertron's surface, believing the Autobot knew a way to defeat Unicron. {{storylink|Surrender!}} He ambushed Xaaron and explained his situation, then braced for Unicron's torture. When the pain did not come, Galvatron took it as proof that being inside the body of [[Primus]] made him invisible to the Chaos-Bringer. Xaaron told him the legend that all the [[Transformer]]s, united together, could defeat Unicron even without the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}} Galvatron decided the only way to achieve that would be to awaken Primus, so he and Xaaron went to the chamber deep within the planet where Primus' head rested. Meanwhile, Unicron, indeed blind to Galvatron's whereabouts, sent Hook, Line, and Sinker to find him and bring him back. The trio tracked him to the chamber, where Xaaron was attempting to contact Primus psychically. Galvatron immediately attacked Unicron's servants, destroying two of them before Hook gained the upper hand (so to speak). But Hook spontaneously combusted as Primus entered Xaaron's body. Galvatron beseeched Primus to gather the Transformers before Unicron arrived, and Primus, seeing that his supplicant was a Decepticon, believed that the time was right for unity. He teleported the Earthbound Transformers to Cybertron, and Galvatron reveled in his own ability to "con" a god. {{storylink|Out of Time!}}

As the Transformers prepared for the impending apocalypse, Galvatron secretly helped fight some [[Acolytes of Unicron|Unicron cultists]] who tried to assassinate Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} But despite his covert assistance, the Transformers still scattered helplessly when Unicron arrived. Realizing that he needed to make a public appearance to set an example, Galvatron powered himself up with energy from Cybertron itself, then attacked Unicron with a single, mighty blast. Unicron swatted him aside, and he would not be seen again for the course of the battle. But he had succeeded in inspiring the other Transformers to unite against their planet-eating enemy. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

[[File:Galvatron2vsmegatron.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Here I go, here I go, here I go again. Girls, what's my weakness? Megs!]]
During the battle, the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] arrived with Autobot reinforcements, but it was abandoned by the time Unicron was destroyed. Starscream and [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] commandeered it to conquer the newly undefended Earth, and Galvatron was inspired to stow away, with the goal of eventually re-creating his own lost Terran empire. {{storylink|Still Life!}} However, none of them were aware that Megatron was in a stasis tube in the ship's medical facility, and that he had been mistakenly re-energized with [[Nucleon]]. Galvatron encountered the disoriented Megatron wandering down a hallway, and all of Galvatron's repressed insanity erupted. {{storylink|Exodus!}}

[[File:Galvatroniiteeth.jpg|thumb|upright=0.5|THAT IS HOW CRAZY YOU ARE]]
Galvatron very nearly destroyed Megatron, fueled by a desire to excise the madness from his own mind, but he stopped himself for fear of disrupting his own history. He believed that the timeline he was in was ''not'' the one that would one day produce him, but he still didn't want to take any chances. Megatron, his own mind a chaotic mix with [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]'s, was barely aware of anything that was happening to him. He was helpless when Shockwave saw him and attacked him, but Galvatron saved him by smashing Shockwave's head against a wall. Galvatron offered a truce to Megatron in the hopes that working with his past self would help him come to grips with the source of his madness. Megatron accepted, but their alliance was cut short when the Ark crashed on Earth again. {{storylink|A Savage Circle}}

Venturing out of the wreckage into the wilderness of northern Canada, Galvatron was set upon by the Canadian army. He did away with them easily, but he was soon confronted by another human, one whom he had almost vaporized in his own time: Spike Witwicky. This younger Spike had been drawn to the area by his [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster partner]], [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], who was inside the ''Ark''. Rejoined, the human/Autobot duo attacked Galvatron as he began to threaten a town. Galvatron, his madness utterly consuming him, fought Maximus with a feral rage, but Maximus defeated him and threw him into a frozen lake. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{note|These stories do not fit into the normal Marvel continuity. See [[Earthforce]] for details. Essentially, imagine if, instead of going to Cybertron after Unicron pulled him back in time, Galvatron didn't bother and went to the Ark instead.}}

Seeking Autobots that he could mould into a new army, Galvatron sent a "[[mind bug]]" probe aboard the abandoned Ark to scan the minds of the comatose Autobots held in stasis there in order to find suitable candidates. He was taken with [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]]'s willingness to fight fire with fire, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s ability to kill when required, [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]'s lack of concern for humans, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s willingness to put the needs of the many ahead of the few and [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]'s ferocity. 

[[File:PerchanceToDream6-Galvatron.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|I had all sorts of wacky adventures!]]
But as he studied their dreams aboard his [[Galvatron's ship|ship]] and played back scenarios in which these traits had come to the fore, his mind bug suddenly ceased transmitting. Little did Galvatron realize that the device had inadvertently awoken the five sleeping Autobots and when he headed across to the Ark to investigate, he was confronted by the quintet. 

During the battle that followed, he planted mind-controlling devices on Wheeljack and Prowl, designed to bring out the mental flaws in them that he had observed and shape them into a form he could use. Being Autobots, however, they proved to be much better beings than Galvatron had given them credit for, easily overcoming his control and turning their weapons on him. Downed by the blast, Galvatron was immediately leapt upon by Prowl, who planted a device hastily constructed by Wheeljack on his head, plunging the Decepticon in a "sleep" mode of his own. Placed in a stasis capsule, Galvatron slumbered... trapped in a recurring nightmare by the Autobots, in which Rodimus Prime dismembered him over and over again. {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
Optimus remembered Galvatron as one of the many threats the Autobots had overcome.{{storylink|War Without End!}}

{{note|Whether Generation 2 slots into UK continuity is up to you; if it does, he could mean [[Galvatron (G1)|the other Galvatron]].}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{noterg1}}
[[File:Rodimus prime galvatron ii less than zero.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''We're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy'']]
In his own timeline, at some unspecified time prior to the [[Rhythms of Darkness!|battle in New York]], Galvatron and his lieutenants Cyclonus and Scourge had successfully tracked Rodimus Prime down to a [[Junkion (planet)|planet of junk]]. His [[Autobot shuttle|shuttle]] destroyed and his teammates killed, Rodimus was determined to stop Galvatron at any cost, but a sudden distraction allowed Cyclonus and Scourge to get the drop on him, breaking the chain that held the Matrix around his neck, and sending it flying away. Galvatron delivered the killing blow, apparently unaware that another version of Hot Rod was witnessing these events by way of his journey through [[Zero Space]], or that this Hot Rod had inadvertently provided the distraction! In his zeal to destroy his timeline's Rodimus, he probably also didn't notice that the Matrix had fallen at Hot Rod's feet... {{storylink|Less Than Zero}}

[[File:Galvatron ii loose ends.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|''Crazy''<br>''I'm crazy for feeling so lonely'']]
Mindful of the loose ends left over from the end of the war 21 years previously, [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]] trained at [[Debris]] against [[solid light simulation]]s of Megatron, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], and Galvatron. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 1}} It seems that Kup was right on the money, because just as [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Circuit Smasher]] deactivated the Ark's computer, [[Aunty|Auntie]] and Optimus Prime killed Megatron, Galvatron came bursting out of the cracks in the ice where he'd been buried! {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}}

Galvatron made his way to the site of the crashed Ark, arriving about the same time as Starscream. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

Galvatron surprised Starscream with a cannon-augmented backhand to the face, and demanded (upon threat of destruction) to know why the treacherous Air Commander had returned to the derelict starship. When Starscream could only manage to emit an unintelligible grunt, Galvatron concluded that the damage to Starscream's cranial module was more than plate-deep, that he was being denied the use of his voice tracks. He decided to spare Starscream for the moment, and had him lead Galvatron to the object of Starscream's interest—hidden behind Auntie's core, the body of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], plugged directly into the Ark! {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Two}} Galvatron proceeded to restore the Ark to operational capacity, leaving Shockwave in place to serve as the Ark's operating system. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Three}}

[[File:Starscream galvatron ii natural selection.jpg|thumb|upright=1.9|''Maybe I'm crazy''<br>''Maybe you're crazy''<br>''Maybe we're crazy''<br>''Probably'']]
Galvatron completed the repairs necessary to restore the Ark's flight capability, unaware that Shockwave had regained consciousness, remembering his defeat at Galvatron's hands and the subsequent Ark crash. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}} Shockwave also secretly restored Starscream, using his link to the Ark to remove Megatron's blocks on the Seeker's mind. Nonetheless, Galvatron brought the Ark airborne, just as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] arrived on the scene. The Autobot spotted Galvatron through the bridge viewport, though Prime wondered if this was actually Megatron. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}

As the Ark traveled to Cybertron, Galvatron reflected on the past, and how in his own timeline, he had watched as Unicron consumed his homeworld, leaving only Earth for him to rule. He vowed that in ''this'' timeline, though, Cybertron would be ''his''. {{storylink|Destiny, Part One}} As chance would have it, the Ark would arrive at Cybertron at the same time as [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s ''[[Warworld]]'', though neither was aware of the other's presence. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}}

[[File:Galvatron ii destiny.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|''You drive me crazy''<br>''I just can't sleep''<br>''I'm so excited, I'm in too deep'']]
Galvatron correctly realized that Optimus Prime would have already alerted the Autobots on Cybertron to expect the Ark, and came up with a plan to send the Ark in on autopilot as a decoy with Starscream (whom he believed to be a lobotomized puppet) on board to be shot down, while he himself sneaked in undetected. When Galvatron left the Ark's bridge to investigate an intruder, Starscream had Shockwave transfer control of the ship over to him. Galvatron found the stowaway: a reactivated [[Guardian (Marvel)|Mark V Guardian droid]] under Starscream's control. He was able to destroy the Guardian, but Starscream decompressed the artificial hull which sent Galvatron into space. Galvatron was left to tumble through the Cybertronian atmosphere while Starscream changed the course of the Ark away from Cybertron.

Starscream's betrayal didn't derail Galvatron's plans, however, for just as Bludgeon's ''Warworld'' arrived at Cybertron, Galvatron had recovered in time to locate and attack his prey—Ultra Magnus! {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}}

[[File:Ultra magnus galvatron ii destiny.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|''It's a warning''<br>''It's in every tongue''<br>''Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run'']]
Galvatron furiously engaged "Cybertron's greatest warrior", boasting that he had already killed Ultra Magnus once before, leaving the Autobot wondering if Galvatron was insane. Magnus didn't have much patience for Galvatron, though, blasting the Decepticon away from him with one of his shoulder-rockets. When Magnus transformed to head out and join the battle against the ''Warworld'', however, Galvatron jumped on top of the Autobot's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Galvatron responded to Magnus's frustration about not having time to deal with him by stating that he would fight off the invaders, but only after killing Magnus. Having had enough, Magnus blew up [[A-19-61 thruway|the bridge]] ahead of him, breaking hard at the broken edge in order to toss Galvatron off, but the wily Decepticon grabbed Magnus's bumper to drag him down.

Bludgeon chose the location of their fall to fire a shot from the ''Warworld'' to demonstrate its power, obliterating several city blocks in the process. Despite the devastation, Ultra Magnus was the first to emerge, ready to take on the invaders. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Four}}

Remember that other Hot Rod from the start? He was ''this'' timeline's Hot Rod and the Matrix turned him into a Rodimus Prime! {{storylink|Less Than Zero}} After Rodimus's defeat of Bludgeon he remained grim, convinced that Galvatron somehow represented part of a larger threat. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}} Ultra Magnus led a team of Autobots into [[Kalis]] in search of Galvatron's body. Magnus wasn't convinced that Galvatron had survived, as he'd used the Decepticon to shield him from the ''Warworld'''s blast. However, Galvatron proved himself made of sterner stuff, as he took out [[Skram (G2)|Skram]]. [[Gunrunner (G1)|Gunrunner]] unloaded on Galvatron, bringing a portion of the ruins down on him, but before the Autobots could collect the body, Gunrunner was taken down by the [[Acolytes of Unicron]], who attacked the Autobots ''en masse'' so they could recover the unconscious Galvatron. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 1}} The Acolytes brought him to the Primus chamber, where they were rewarded for their work by being drained of their life-energy by their "master", who appeared to be Primus himself! {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 3}} A revived Galvatron proceeded to attack the [[Star Chamber]], where the Autobots had been monitoring communications between Earth and [[Nebulos]]. With dark energy streaming from his eyes, Galvatron declared himself the "ravager of worlds" as he slaughtered the Autobot techs. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}}

[[File:Galvatron ii war to end all wars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|''Still crazy after all these years'']]
Galvatron took the [[space bridge]] network offline, save for the link connecting Cybertron to Earth and Nebulos, and made his escape to the latter planet. Meanwhile, Rodimus Prime learned from the dark entity that had masqueraded as Primus and revived Galvatron that it was, in fact, the fragment of Matrix energy that had been corrupted when it possessed the [[Deathbringer (Marvel)|Deathbringer]], and that it had not only survived the termination of the Deathbringer, but had been brought to Cybertron when Primus recalled the Transformers on Earth. Hiding itself in an Acolyte of Unicron, it slowly fed on the [[spark]]s of others, incited the [[Demon|Primoridals]] to attack, and when it found the peace unsuitable to its needs, incited [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] to rebel and Scorponok to pursue his gene-key research. It had even been responsible for Galvatron's reawakening on Earth, and was now using Galvatron along with the rebuilt [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] to further its goal: to spread itself across the multiverse!

As the possessed Galvatron continued his rampage in the [[Clar Macro-jungle]] on Nebulos, a squad of Autobots led by Ultra Magnus caught up with him. Galvatron was distracted, however, when the Dark Matrix creature found itself under attack in Zero Space by Rodimus Prime's multiversal counterparts. Taking advantage of the lull, Magnus engaged Galvatron hand-to-hand, and declaring an end to their conflict, snapped the Decepticon's neck and crushed his head, terminating the time-displaced Decepticon once and for all. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

In the late 1980s, soon after the activation of Metroplex, Megatron and his "new subordinate," Galvatron II, battled [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and Optimus Prime atop the giant robot's shoulder. {{storylink|Fight!

{{note|When Galvatron's appearances in ''TV Magazine''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s story pages were first published, there was no "Galvatron II", and the character's presence alongside Megatron and Optimus in the pre-movie era was either a deliberate feint to keep the events of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' secret, or the result of the artists and writers legitimately not knowing he and Megatron were separate characters—which, we don't know. (See also [[Galvatron (G1)#Japanese fiction]] for other similarly-erroneous early material.) However, decades later, the [[e-HOBBY]] release of Galvatron II included extra stickers and a modified head-sculpt to match his first story page appearance (pictured here; a later appearance would remove the gold details and give him a more animation-model-based head),<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20060615195828/http://www.e-hobby.co.jp/texts/e_gentei/tfce_35_e.html Wayback Machine cache of "Grey Galvatron's" Activity Track Record]</ref> while his [[bio]] echoed the American [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel Generation 1 comics]].<ref name="ehobby old bio">[http://web.archive.org/web/20060614150152/http://www.e-hobby.co.jp/cgi-bin/omc?&port=33301&req=PRODUCT&code=tfce_35 Wayback Machine chache of e-HOBBY Galvatron II bio]</ref><ref name="ehobby gii">[http://www.e-hobbymagazine.com/english/museun_en/2510.html e-HOBBY Galvatron II article]</ref>}}

Galvatron II would return to this [[Primax]] universe from his [[Universal stream|Primax Gamma]] universal stream<ref name="ehobby gii"/> and threaten the galaxy with a fleet of [[Warworld]]s.

Within the Matrix, the [[Spark|soul]] of the fallen Matrix-bearer Ultra Magnus became aware of Galvatron's threat. Magnus reached out to Optimus Prime and used the Autobot leader's [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] to resurrect himself in a new [[Laser Rod]] body. Magnus quickly assembled a strike force to counter Galvatron.<ref>[http://www.e-hobbymagazine.com/english/museun_en/2647.html e-HOBBY Laser Ultra Magnus bio]</ref>

Ultra Magnus's new Laser Rod body afforded him little advantage over Galvatron, who handily defeated and nearly killed him. But before Galvatron could finish his foe off, 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. {{storylink|Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version}}

Galvatron II would go on to usurp [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s leadership of the Decepticons, demoting his counterpart to guarding a subterranean headquarters. {{storylink|MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.}}

===''Universe'' Classic Series bio===
At a time when the Decepticons were a scattered confederation of assassins and warlords, Galvatron arrived from parts unknown and quickly asserted his dominance. Crushing all who opposed him, he united the Decepticons into a powerful army "capable of threatening the entire universe." Rumors about his past were plentiful, but facts were hard to come by. Mostly the Decepticons simply cowered before his might, their fear preventing them from even ''thinking'' about following anyone else. Those few who dared to conceive otherwise simply hoped that one day a rival would emerge who could best the tyrant.<ref>[http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=496&amp;SBR=97&amp;ST=SO&amp;ID=21938&amp;PG=2 ''Universe'' Classic Series Galvatron bio]</ref>

{{note|It is unclear where this story fits in continuity, or even which Galvatron is being referred to. If one assumes the ''Classic Series'' bios to be an extension of the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|''Classics'' comic book]], then he is likely Galvatron II, as that is the only Galvatron established in that continuity. However, if one assumes that the ''Classic Series'' bios are not tied to any particular continuity, then the identity and timeframe of this Galvatron become likewise open-ended.}}

==Notes==
*The "Galvatron II" name originates from "[[Alignment]]", a non-official story written by [[Simon Furman]], where it was used as a way to distinguish the two different Galvatrons that emerged in [[Earth-120185|Marvel UK continuity]]. It was made official years later with the release of the e-HOBBY "Galvatron II" toy.
*Galvatron II's end in the Marvel comic is unintentionally similar to Galvatron's final fate in "[[The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg]]" from the [[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|''Headmasters'' anime]].
*We know it's Galvatron II in "...Perchance to Dream" because ''[[Transformers: Dinobot Hunt]]'' says so. Up until then, all we had was that he was a "different Galvatron" to the one from "[[Time Wars]]" which could have meant Galvatron II or "[[Aspects of Evil!"]] Galvatron. 
*Which Galvatron was more impressive? After the movie, "[[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron I]]" went on in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|UK comic]] to be shot by just about every Transformer you can name, buried in a volcano, soundly beaten by Ultra Magnus on more than one occasion, then half-decapitated before finally being destroyed by a rift in space and time. The [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]] timeline was kinder to him, but he still blew up [[Thrull|two]] [[Goo 8739B|planets]] and drove [[Torkulon|another one]] insane. On the other hand, Galvatron II helped Unicron ''win'', then killed Rodimus Prime and conquered the Americas, successfully lied to Primus (who, as a god, can be expected to know everything), used that lie to set the entire Transformer race against Unicron (whom he then ''shot in the face),'' got a divine swat in return, bounced through a building and across Cybertron's surface but survived without a scratch, then was the only one to [[The Last Autobot?|immediately]] walk away from the Ark's second crash on Earth.
[[File:Makoto-manga.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Heh heeeeh! Decepticons are the true justice!" Um...]]
*The human child [[Makoto (FSRL)|Makoto]] can be seen brandishing a Galvatron-themed [[wrist-communicator]] in "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 7]]", a story which takes place before Galvatron's creation. Later retcons make it possible that the device is designed after Galvatron II, who had [[:Category:Dimension hoppers|dimension-hopped]] into the Japanese continuity around that time. Considering the nature of wrist-communicators, devices which allow the user to contact and summon the Transformer they're shaped after, that would mean that a small Japanese boy had the power to command the most batshit insane Transformer in history. ''Hmmmm.''
*The e-HOBBY storyline takes cues from "Alignment", which originated the term "Galvatron II" and established the character as having a fleet of Warworlds.
