	Galvatron was subsequently "missing in action" for a while, spending his time tunneling around underground in [[alternate mode\|vehicle mode]], still not quite back in his right mind. Happening upon a pipeline set up by the Autorollers as part of an Angolmois Energy drilling scheme, Galvatron tore the pipe in half and happily began guzzling the energy that was flowing through it. This infusion of the ever-unpredictable Angolmois Energy caused the Predacon leader to grow to huge size, and his temper did not improve when Starscream and [[BB (BW)\|BB]], remembering the last time he had gotten drunk, shut off the flow of energy. To stop the rampaging Galvatron, the Maximals teamed up with the Autorollers, and employed [[Scuba]]'s plan to do just the opposite of what Starscream and BB had tried: ''force-feeding'' Galvatron's Angolmois Energy until he was overloaded. The plan was a success, causing a huge explosion that reverted Galvatron to normal, and sent him crashing into the sea, his mind restored, and his memories of his drunken rampage lost. {{storylink\|Galvatron Rampages}}		Galvatron was subsequently "missing in action" for a while, spending his time tunneling around underground in [[alternate mode\|vehicle mode]], still not quite back in his right mind.

As a massive new warrior named [[Tripledacus]] arrived on the scene, Galvatron ordered his Combatrons to eliminate the threatening creature.

	As the Seacons prepared to depart for easier treasures, Halfshell planned a one-on-one battle with Lio Convoy to gain the necessary energon. Starscream reported this to Galvatron, who authorized an observation mission to make sure Lio Convoy died, one way or the other.

	Nemesis caused eruptions of Angolmois Energy on Gaia, upsetting Megastorm and the Autorollers at one of their fortress sites. Galvatron laughed at their panic, and walked directly into one of the geysers, absorbing more power than ever before. However, Galvatron sensed a new source of Angolmois Energy due to his connection with the substance. He tracked it down and discovered Lio Convoy's "son", [[Lio Junior (BW)\|Lio Junior]], birthed from the Angolmois Energy and Lio Convoy's own Energon Matrix. Galvatron attacked the Maximals, but Lio Junior was soon joined by [[Santon]] and [[Skywarp (BW)\|Skywarp]], who combined with him to form [[Magnaboss (BWII)\|Magnaboss]]. {{storylink\|Enter Lio Junior}} With the assistance of Lio Convoy, Magnaboss was able to deliver a powerful strike with his Magma Blade to Galvatron's chest.

	At the teleport gate, Galvatron ordered [[Megastorm\|Gigastorm]] to summon [[Megatron (BW)\|Megatron]], the most fearsome and vicious Transformer in history. Gigastorm screwed up and summoned the mighty [[Majin Zarak]], instead. Galvatron was not displeased, though, as he considered Majin Zarak an even ''greater'' weapon than Megatron. Taking command of the behemoth in aircraft carrier mode, Galvatron steered the monster on a path of destruction toward the Maximals, defeating them all with ease. However, Lio Junior managed to escape Predacon custody and used the teleport gate to summon [[Optimus Primal (BW)\|Optimus Primal]] to aid the Maximals. Primal then sent Galvatron a challenge via text message: "You think you've won, but we won't be defeated. Let us settle this. Come to point B-2." Galvatron angrily accepted the challenge and steered Majin Zarak toward point B-2.

Galvatron angrily accepted the challenge and steered Majin Zarak toward point B-2.

	A bad move on his part, as the location was actually a part of Optimus Primal's strategy. Point B-2 being a narrow canyon, Majin Zarak's great bulk made him ineffective in the tight arena. In the battle, Galvatron was thrown from Zarak's command deck and the behemoth, now under its own control, transformed into a giant kaiju. Galvatron was then picked up by Gigastorm in hovercraft mode and carried off to safety, swearing vengeance. The Maximals eventually succeeded in destroying Majin Zarak and, after sending Optimus Primal back home, destroyed the teleport gate as well {{storylink\|Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!}}		A bad move on his part, as the location was actually a part of Optimus Primal's strategy.

	When '''Galvatron''' (ガルバトロン ''Garubatoron''), the self-proclaimed "new" [[Emperor of Destruction]], deigns to storm the battlefield, the [[Maximal]]s know to run in the other direction. His ambition is as boundless as it is terrifying; Galvatron is a villain perfectly willing to annihilate entire planets and harness the lifeforce of [[Unicron\|primeval gods]] simply as a means to an end. A juggernaut on the battlefield in either his drill tank or dragon modes, opposing forces have found that he's an enemy who cannot be destroyed, merely contained or temporarily waylaid. And yet, no matter how deeply his enemies bury him, no matter how sure they are that "he's gone for good"... Galvatron ''always'' comes back.

And yet, no matter how deeply his enemies bury him, no matter how sure they are that "he's gone for good"... Galvatron ''always'' comes back.

	Galvatron has two primary weaknesses which interfere with his mission of total universal conquest. Firstly is his ~~rather unstable~~ personality which can be affected by the excessive intake of energy sources such as [[energon]], [[oil]] and (especially) [[Angolmois Energy]]. Though Galvatron can convert such energies to vastly increase his power, the process renders him as much a danger to his troops as to the enemy, reducing him to little more than a rampaging behemoth. Secondly, he places a firm priority on the value of ''family'', no matter how self-defeating that may be. Case in point is his younger brother [[Megastorm (BW)\|Megastorm]], who openly and relentlessly attempts to overthrow his elder sibling. Despite knowing full well of Megastorm's ambitions, Galvatron permits him to retain his high rank and close proximity simply out of a sense of familial loyalty.

	Nemesis caused eruptions of Angolmois Energy on Gaia, upsetting Megastorm and the Autorollers at one of their fortress sites. Galvatron laughed at their panic, and walked directly into one of the geysers, absorbing more power than ever before. However, Galvatron sensed a new source of Angolmois Energy due to his connection with the substance.

	At the teleport gate, Galvatron ordered [[Megastorm\|Gigastorm]] to summon [[Megatron (BW)\|Megatron]], the most fearsome and vicious Transformer in history. Gigastorm screwed up and summoned the mighty [[Majin Zarak]], instead. Galvatron was not displeased, though, as he considered Majin Zarak an even ''greater'' weapon than Megatron. Taking command of the behemoth in aircraft carrier mode, Galvatron steered the monster on a path of destruction toward the Maximals, defeating them all with ease. However, Lio Junior managed to escape Predacon custody and used the teleport gate to summon [[Optimus Primal (BW)\|Optimus Primal]] to aid the Maximals. Primal then sent Galvatron a challenge via text message: "You think you've won, but we won't be defeated. Let us settle this. Come to point B-2." Galvatron angrily accepted the challenge and steered Majin Zarak toward point B-2.

Galvatron angrily accepted the challenge and steered Majin Zarak toward point B-2.

	A bad move on his part, as the location was actually a part of Optimus Primal's strategy. Point B-2 being a narrow canyon, Majin Zarak's great bulk made him ineffective in the tight arena. In the battle, Galvatron was thrown from Zarak's command deck and the behemoth, now under its own control, transformed into a giant kaiju. Galvatron was then picked up by Gigastorm in hovercraft mode and carried off to safety, swearing vengeance. The Maximals eventually succeeded in destroying Majin Zarak and, after sending Optimus Primal back home, destroyed the teleport gate as well {{storylink\|Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!}}		A bad move on his part, as the location was actually a part of Optimus Primal's strategy.

	When '''Galvatron''' (ガルバトロン ''Garubatoron''), the self-proclaimed "new" [[Emperor of Destruction]], deigns to storm the battlefield, the [[Maximal]]s know to run in the other direction. His ambition is as boundless as it is terrifying; Galvatron is a villain perfectly willing to annihilate entire planets and harness the lifeforce of [[Unicron\|primeval gods]] simply as a means to an end. A juggernaut on the battlefield in either his drill tank or dragon modes, opposing forces have found that he's an enemy who cannot be destroyed, merely contained or temporarily waylaid. And yet, no matter how deeply his enemies bury him, no matter how sure they are that "he's gone for good"... Galvatron ''always'' comes back.

And yet, no matter how deeply his enemies bury him, no matter how sure they are that "he's gone for good"... Galvatron ''always'' comes back.

	Galvatron has two primary weaknesses which interfere with his mission of total universal conquest. Firstly is his rather unstable personality which can be affected by the excessive intake of energy sources such as [[energon]], [[oil]] and (especially) [[Angolmois Energy]]. Though Galvatron can convert such energies to vastly increase his power, the process renders him as much a danger to his troops as to the enemy, reducing him to little more than a rampaging behemoth. Secondly, he places a firm priority on the value of ''family'', no matter how self-defeating that may be. Case in point is his younger brother [[Megastorm]], who openly and relentlessly attempts to overthrow his elder sibling. Despite knowing full well of Megastorm's ambitions, Galvatron permits him to retain his high rank and close proximity simply out of a sense of familial loyalty.

	Seeking to control the mysterious and powerful [[Angolmois Energy]] of the planet [[Gaia]], Galvatron set course for the planet in his ship, the ''[[Galvaburg II]]'', along his younger brother Megastorm, the [[Combatron (BW)\|Combatrons]] and the [[Autoroller (BW)\|~~Autoroller~~]]s. Knowing that the [[Maximal]] commander [[Lio Convoy (BW)\|Convoy]] was sure to stand in his way, Galvatron staged a trap for his enemy, luring him into the depths of space and apparently destroying him with the explosion of an artificial planetoid. Despite the loss of their leader, Convoy's troops pursued Galvatron's forces to Gaia, but were soon captured by the Predacons. Little could Galvatron have realized, however, that the explosion did not kill Convoy, but had instead hurled him to Gaia, where the planet's Angolmois Energy restored him as "Lio Convoy". In this new form, he rescued his troops, and they escaped Galvatron's clutches together. {{storylink\|The New Forces Arrive!}}		Seeking to control the mysterious and powerful [[Angolmois Energy]] of the planet [[Gaia]], Galvatron set course for the planet in his ship, the ''[[Galvaburg II]]'', along his younger brother [[Megastorm (BW)\|Megastorm]], the [[Combatron (BW)\|Combatrons]] and the [[Autoroller (BW)\|Autorollers]].

	Galvatron and his [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]] journeyed to [[Gaia]] in their quest for [[Angolmois Energy]]. After Galvatron absorbed some Angolmois Energy and fell into a deep sleep, Megastorm hooked up the Predacon leader to the machinery of the [[Galvatron Dekazura Tank]] to power it, and used the vehicle to launch an attack on the Maximals. Throughout the course of the battle, the tank was lured into a river and flooded, awakening Galvatron. Before he could get his bearings, Megastorm was made to accidentally trigger the tank's self-destruct sequence, and it blew up with all the Predacons within. Afterwards, Megastorm tried to convince Galvatron that all he remembered from the event was just a dream. {{storylink\|Demolish the Superdreadnought Tank!}}		Galvatron and his [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]] journeyed to [[Gaia]] in their quest for [[Angolmois Energy]].
