* '''Galvatron''' (Decepticon, 1986/1987)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''D-62'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Rifle, Particle Cannon, Particle Cannon connector

: ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Galvatron transforms into a Cybertronic treaded field artillery unit with an alternate hand-held gun mode.  

:Galvatron, like the other new characters created for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', was designed for animation first, and his toy was based on these early designs. However, as with the other characters, his animation model underwent further modifications before being finalized. This is particularly noticeable with Galvatron; his toy is in a largely gray color scheme, but his most prominent media appearances in the movie and animated series feature him decked out in a regal shade of purple. His outdated character model and colors would live on over in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel Comics]] continuity – including a particularly toyetic example in his [[:File:Target 2006 Prologue Galvatron, Scourge %26 Cyclonus.jpg|debut issue]] – as well as other ancillary media produced to advertise the toy.

:Using a 9-volt battery, he features a light-up barrel in cannon or gun mode, light-up eyes in robot mode, and three different electronic warbly noises in all of his modes. Galvatron is notable as one of the most well-articulated toys in the ''Generation 1'' line, with ratcheting shoulders and hips, as well as swivel waist, elbows, mid-biceps, knees, and ankle joints. He was also armed with a small, black laser rifle. In Japan, he was released as part of the ''[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]'' sub-line.

: The original Galvatron toy was much later [[redeco]]ed and re-released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] into a sort-of more show-like appearance, being primarily purple instead of gray. His face mold was slightly [[retool]]ed into a more angry, sneering expression, and his electronics were totally overhauled, now running on two AA batteries instead of a 9-volt. Gone are his three different electronic squeals: the three positions of Galvatron's sliding switch now denote a singular laser noise, the transformation sound effect (played forwards and backwards), and five speech clips by his Japanese voice actor, [[Seizō Katō]]: "Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!" (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), "Eei, Cybertron o hineri-tsubuse!" (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), "Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!" (You're all useless!), "Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!" (Grrah, I'll destroy you!), and "Destron gundan, transform!" (Decepticon army, transform!). He also comes with a golden redeco of the die-cast [[Matrix of Leadership]] accessory previously included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#NewYearConvoy|New Year Special Convoy]], which features a small removable chain that allows it to hang around his neck, as seen in the film. 

: This version of the mold was later redecoed into the original toy's colors for the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Galvatron II#Generation 1|Galvatron II]], with a new speech clip.

*'''Galvatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)
**''Series'': '''Classic Series'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Galvatron transforms into a tank reminiscent of the [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/israel/merkava.htm Israel Weapons Industries Merkava] main battle tank with some design elements taken from [[Megatron (G1)/toys#ActionMaster|Megatron]]'s old [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]]. On the tank turret is the slogan "GALV-25", in reference to the ''Transformers'' brand's 25th anniversary.

:This toy has many undocumented features in the form of small moving parts that play no role in either mode; most conspicuous are two articulated feet for the tank mode. In one of the [[Hasbro Q&A]] sessions, it was confirmed that these are remnants of an early design version of Galvatron, which would have been at a larger size class and [http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/10873.shtml featured a third mode as a "walking tank."] It is still possible to manipulate his parts into a mode greatly resembling the original concept design.

:There were several odd paint choices used on this figure. The left arm is molded in purple plastic to properly match the rest of the robot mode... but is then painted over in tank-mode grey paint, even though the arm is not visible in tank mode at all. The vehicle mode's wheels are molded in the same translucent orange as the cannon, and then painted over with ''a slightly different shade of orange''. [[Hasbro]] lead designer [[Bill Rawley]] commented at [[BotCon 2010]] that these must have been paint-assignment errors. 

:Galvatron's transformation is almost insanely complex for a Deluxe Class figure–and in addition, the toy is notorious for having poor plastic tolerances that make it prone to simply falling apart during transformation.

:Hasbro's print advertisement for this figure (featuring Galvatron in combat with [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]]) depicts it with the right arm held away from the body and pointing upwards... which is a pose the toy cannot actually assume, short of digital manipulation and/or breaking and creatively gluing the arm.

:Galvatron has a peculiar 5mm peg smack dab on the top of his turret, which allows him to be held in a most hilarious fashion by other Transformers who can manage the clearance around the turret's fin.

**''ID number:'' '''D-06'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Galvatron is a redeco of ''Universe'' Galvatron. As with all ''Henkei'' releases, TakaraTomy have attempted to make the toy better resemble his cartoon counterpart, so most of the bright orange plastic from the ''Universe'' toy is now black. The shade of purple used on ''Henkei'' Galvatron is the lighter, lavender shade commonly seen on Takara's Galvatron toys, rather than the deeper purple seen on Hasbro's Galvatron toys. The left arm now retains the "correct" robot-mode plastic color, instead of being painted over in tank colors as the Hasbro version was. The gray is also lighter and a cooler shade of gray than the warm shade used on the Hasbro version.

:Galvatron features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] plastic, though in Galvatron's case it is the most random and illogical usage of the gimmick yet in the ''Henkei'' toyline. Galvatron's entire tank turret and the equipment on the vehicle side skirts are vacuum-metallized silver, making him one hell of a blingin' tank. His six-pack... errr, four-pack abs are likewise covered in reddish chrome, a design choice that had also been used on the 2005 "anime-colored" G1 Galvatron reissue and on ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Galvatron]].

:Also of note, the box art on the back of the packaging shows the mythical third "turret" mode, but has no instructions on how to convert the toy into it.

:This redeco of the'' [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Galvatron toy was aimed at being even more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] than the Henkei version shown above. Galvatron now features metallic blue paint on most of his robot body and metallic red on his abdominal plates. His cannon barrel is completely unpainted and translucent, likewise to better resemble both the show and the original toy. He now has Decepticon [[insignia]]s on his robot chest and tank turret, for the first time in the history of the [[mold]]. It also has the distinction on being the only version of the mold to have a metallic blue turret, further increasing screen accuracy.

:All promotional photographs of this piece showed it deliberately mistransformed in vehicle mode, with the cannon left stretched above the turret, apparently to make it look <s>more show-accurate</s> less like a real-world tank.

*'''Nucleon & Galvatron''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Series / Number:'' '''?'''
**''Accessories:'' 'Nucleon' Titan Master partner, cannon

:Galvatron is a Voyager-class mold as part of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline imprint, partially inspired by Guido Guidi's design from ''[[Spotlight: Galvatron]]''. He transforms into his original cannon mode and also has a third mode as a space fighter. He includes a new "[[Nucleon (TR)|Nucleon]]" [[Titan Master]] partner that can turn into the robot's head, or can pilot the vehicle modes. Like many of the weapons in the ''Titans Return'' line, his particle cannon features a cockpit for a Titan Master figure; it is undocumented in his instructions, but can be found by simply flipping up the back of the weapon.

:Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager-class figures, Galvatron has a spring-loaded pop-out adornment to "bulk up" his head to slightly more appropriate proportions. In his case, it's a "mask" of sorts that consists of his signature crown and chinstrap that swings out of his chest. Unfortunately, it doesn't sit flush against his face due to the mask's overall thickness, and has minimal neck articulation, which has the effect of immobilizing the head pretty much entirely. Initial prototypes of the figure showed Nucleon with purple paint applications to help blend in with the surrounding mask, but the retail version is entirely unpainted grey plastic. The Takara ''Legends'' release however, features the same paint mask as the prototypes.

:Many samples of this mold suffer from the running Titan Master design flaw, leading to loose or overly-tight neck ports. Several purple parts of the figure are in fact black plastic painted purple, the shade of which is visually mismatched to the actual purple plastic.  

:The [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/9/9a/20210826202636%21TitansReturnGalvatron3modes.jpg promotional images for this figure] depict a different sculpt for the crown-mask. This tooling lasted late enough in the development process that it surfaced on [[:File:TR-Galvatron-prototype-alt-mask.jpg|some prototypes]]. According to [[John Warden]], the mold included a [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]] alternate head which was "an animated Galvatron", and a toy-based silver version of the figure had been conceptualised, but neither of these possibilities were followed through on.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210508015032/https://www.allspark.com/2017/10/our-nycc-2017-interview-with-john-warden-design-manager/ NYCC 2017 John Warden interview]</ref>

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Galvatron is another redeco of the 2008 ''Universe'' Deluxe Class figure, meant to be in "[[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]]" colors but attempting so in a manner slightly different from previous versions. Notably, it features the return of the "mistaken" tank mode paint color on the left arm. It also uses the Decepticon insignia from the [[live-action film series]] instead of the ''Generation 1'' variety.

:Galvatron was available as part of a 2-pack with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#PERORP|Rodimus Prime]] (a redeco of the ''[[#Titanium Series|Titanium Series]]'' figure), aptly named "Rise of Rodimus Prime", which also contained a [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Platinum Edition|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, a redeco of the Matrix originally included with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] which Galvatron can loosely hold in his right hand.

:Like several of the 2016 ''Platinum Edition'' sets, "Rise of Rodimus Prime" saw a very limited release: Basically, the two-pack was released in some of Hasbro's Asian markets, was stocked by some online retailers in the United States that obtain their stock through Asian vendors (such as [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource), and aside from that apparently only ever saw a wider release in ''Brazil'', of all places, where it was also first officially revealed by Hasbro at ABRIN (the Brazilian Toy Fair) in April of 2016.

:The sole new release in the third wave of  ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Leader Class toys, Galvatron transforms from an extremely [[show-accuracy|accurate]] robot into a treaded, tripod "Galactic cannon" in 33 steps.<ref name="Pulse"/> In a first, by concealing the base of the cannon within the robot torso, the toy's transformation manages to depict the purple-upper body-to-grey-cannon trick as seen in the animation, a design goal since the 2008 ''[[#Universe (2008)|Universe]]'' toy. The rear "leg" of the cannon is on multiple hinges, allowing the toy to aim at different elevations. He features [[Tampograph|printed]] light purple "battle damage" on his upper torso along with opaque orange "particle" effects at the base of his cannon barrel, and [[Paint operation|painted]] battle damage on his lower legs, similar to figures from the previous two ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toylines. As part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]], Galvatron has multiple [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]], though is missing 3 mm posts on his body for [[Fire Blast effect]]s.

:Galvatron's particle beam cannon can mount onto multiple 5 mm ports, including his forearm or upper arm, or separate into two pieces for cannon mode. He also includes the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Galvatron|Matrix of Leadership]], modified from the one first included with ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]. The new molding allows it to mount onto an included chain via 5 mm post, which can rest around his neck or attach at the base of the cannon barrel in his alternate mode.

:Galvatron also includes two unpainted grey, ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]]-scaled ''[[Revenge (G1)|Revenge]]'' ships that can be held by Galvatron as blasters, combine into a larger gun, store on his back (at two-different heights), or attach parallel to the barrel in his cannon mode. 

:Earlier specimens of Galvatron have a [[misassembly]] in the robot shoulders:  the center joint is installed upside-down, causing the shoulders to sit lower than intended. The height issue can be fixed by using the reversible transformation joint, but this results in two flathead pins being left prominently exposed. The holes that the pins are placed in are 5mm compatible, so you may be able to use the misassembly to your advantage. A [[Variant|running change]] corrected the shoulder assembly; the condition of the shoulders is visible in [[Mint in sealed box|packaged specimens]]. 

:Like all Deluxe-and-above ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys, Galvatron sports functioning sideways ankle joints. However, they are ''extremely'' limited (barely managing to bend a mere 20 degrees) because the halves of the rear cannon support strut are connected to the feet from inside the legs, making them collide against the inner legs when the joints are used. These parts can be removed through some disassembly with a screwdriver to fully restore Galvatron's ankle articulation, but this comes at the cost of an incomplete rear support in cannon mode. In said cannon mode, Galvatron's shoulders tab into slots on his lower chest.  These slots open on both the rear and the sides of his chest - but attempting to insert the tabs ''through the side openings'' will almost immediately leave large white stress marks on the purple plastic, so caution is advised.  

:Much like most of the toyline, Galvatron comes with one of four possible holographic [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards for his wave, which reveals a [[Source:Golden Disk destinies|possible destiny]] of a key character. Specifically, [[Megatron (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy marketing material|Megatron]]'s destiny for his wave is becoming Galvatron.

:The red blocks atop his shoulders are entirely painted, making their pegs at risk for scraping during transformation.  

:This figure was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive in Japan.

:"Behold, Galvatron!" is a redeco of ''Kingdom'' Galvatron meant to represent the sequence of Galvatron's creation in ''The Transformers: The Movie.''  The figure and its traditional accessories are now cast in translucent purple plastic, ornamented with white [[tampograph|printed detailing]].  

:Galvatron includes a Unicron Companion Pack meant to be added to the immense [[Unicron/toys#HasLab|HasLab Unicron]] toy.  This companion pack includes small painted ships of the ''Revenge'' (a different sculpt than Galvatron's hand weapons), a [[Quintesson]] ship, and the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions']] ''Minnow''; each of these ships can be mounted on the small clear stand included with Unicron.  In addition, it includes 14 tiny mini-figures, listed above, thus filling out the set begun with the Galvatron and Rodimus included with Unicron and the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Optimus Prime]] included with the [[Centurion droid]]. These mini-figures can also be placed in the bridge of ''Kingdom'' [[Ark (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Ark]]'s starship mode.

:This set is exclusive to [[Hasbro Pulse]] and was officially revealed on [[October 22]], [[2021]] at [[PulseCon 2021]], with a scheduled release date of [[March 1]], [[2022]], though it actually hit retail in Asia in December 2021.  Orders were limited to one per customer.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' Leader Class toys, Galvatron is a [[package refresh]] of the previous ''Kingdom'' figure above, now in all-new packaging. The figure is missing the battle damage from the ''Kingdom'' release (claimed by Hasbro to be due to "buyer feedback"), making him appear more cartoon-accurate as a result, and the paint on the cannon barrel has been removed as well. Also, the tab and slot connections between his shoulders and chest in cannon mode have been very slightly retooled: inserting the tabs from the side openings of the chest piece no longer causes stress marks to appear.

*'''Galvatron''' (Watch, 1986, 1993)

:A Galvatron watch was released in the 1980s in Japan (along with [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] watches). It was subsequently re-released in the 1990s by Takara as merchandise for the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in the USA. The watch featured Galvatron's torso with a clock in his chest. It included a mechanism whereby when a lever was pushed, the tiny Galvatron torso "transformed" into a full tiny Galvatron figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate. In Japan, these were considered "roleplay" items representing [[wrist-communicator]]s.

:The cannon barrel can detach and is ''very'' easily lost.  

:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Galvatron watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.

[[File:SHBMGalv1.jpg|upright=2|thumb|I can't transform? This is YOUR fault, Cyclonus!]]
* '''Galvatron''' (1987, 1997)

:Galvatron was one of three non-transforming ''[[Super High-Breed Model]]'' vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Japanese collectables company [[MC Axis]]. Standing at about eight inches tall and featuring articulation in the neck and shoulders, Galvatron and his fellows ([[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]) were based on their [[Studio OX]] character models, featuring much more anime-styled proportions and detailing.

: While the mass-market release of the ''Super High-Breed Model'' line was cancelled, Galvatron eventually saw the light of day as the exclusive toy for [[BotCon Japan 1997]]. The figure was initially available in two versions: "standard" purple and a translucent orange "lava bath" version limited to 100 pieces. In subsequent years, at least two more versions of this figure would be released for online sale: one that replaced the orange paint on the cannon barrel with an orange molded plastic piece, and another that replaced the entire purple body coloration with royal blue.  

: Very rarely, specimens from the intended 1987 release will surface on the secondary market.  That version of Galvatron can be distinguished by the Decepticon [[insignia]] on its chest, and also by its cardboard box packaging instead of clear plastic.

==Notes==
[[File:Megalvatron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|This toy IS a time paradox.]]
* In the [[Toy Fair 1986|1986 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair catalog]], Galvatron's orange cannon is [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage09a.jpg|colored dark (either black or a dark purple)]]. Presumably, this version of the toy was based upon his early color model.
* A triple changer was proposed which would switch between a very awkward Galvatron, Megatron, and a Walther P-38 handgun with added futuristic silencer and laser sight. It is notable that the strange "Reverse Megatron" design has a mild resemblance to the also-unproduced Galvatron [[Action Master]], especially in the chest design.
* A Galvatron Action Master was planned at one point, but apparently went no further than a concept sketch. It is only vaguely similar to Galvatron's normal appearance and may possibly have been a "powered up" Galvatron of some sort.
