	~~It's hard to imagine a more pitiless~~, ~~monstrous tyrant than Megatron~~, ~~but Galvatron is it.~~		Reforged by Unicron, he embodies an amplified version of Megatron’s original ideology, driven by unmatched arrogance and an insatiable desire for conquest and control. Empowered by his dark master, he has surpassed his original self in all aspects, a walking embodiment of pure destruction. {{storylink\|Source:Transformers:_Earth_Wars/2016#Galvatron\|Galvatron bio}}

	~~He's Megatron to the nth degree and even more powerful than his past/former self.

	When Galvatron was brought through the Space Bridge, [[Luca]] found him creepy yet familiar. Galvatron stated that he was stranded in a backwater era, and had to remind Cyclonus that they had to tread carefully, lest they be wiped from existence. After reassuring Scourge and Cyclonus that Starscream and Ultra Magnus would be taken care of, he commanded them to continue repairing a Time Portal. {{storylink\|Transformers: Earth Wars\|Galvatron arrival}}		When Galvatron was brought through the Space Bridge, [[Luca]] found him creepy yet familiar.

In the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK\|UK comics]], Galvatron received a ''[[Fact File]]'' [[profile]] which called it a [[Proton cannon#Notes\|proton rocket cannon]], a detail which seems to originate from an early [[character model]].<ref>[https://sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/p/transformers-1986-character-binder.html Transformers: 1986 character binder at the Sunbow/Marvel Archive]</ref> Thereafter it was generally referred to as a [[Particle cannon\|particle (or particle accelerator) cannon]], although in the [[Letters page (Marvel UK)\|letters page]] of [[King of the Hill!\|issue #112]] both a reader and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Grimlock]] confusingly referred to Galvatron's [[alternate mode]] as a [[proton cannon]], and his [[Marvel Comics\|Marvel]] ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|Universe]]'' profile would return to the packaging bio's description of a laser which emits chemically-produced, direct-current electricity. All of this led a reader to ask [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]] which of these was correct in [[Still Life!\|issue #323]]'s letters page, to which Blaster replied that the chemically-produced, direct-current electricity laser was probably the most up-to-date and accurate.
			**Galvatron's [[Dreamwave Productions\|Dreamwave]] ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\| More than Meets the Eye]]'' profile sidestepped the issue entirely, arming him with a cannon that could fire a range of energy beams, from super-heated plasma to direct-current electricity.
			**[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)\|2008 ''Universe'']] [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Classic Series\|Galvatron]]'s firing particle cannon callout on his packaging adds weight to that being the correct name of the weapon.
			*As alluded to above, Galvatron's [[alternate mode]] weapon also suffered some naming issues. His toy's instructions and ''Fact File'' profile call it a [[laser cannon]] and while Grimlock would call it a proton cannon, Galvatron himself would refer to it as his [[Laser cannon#Notes\|space cannon]] mode in "Altered Image!".
			**Dreamwave again sidestepped the issue entirely, describing his cannon mode as being a more powerful version of his nonspecific arm cannon.
			**The description for the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom\|Kingdom]]'' [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Kingdom\|Galvatron toy]] refers to his alt-mode as a galactic cannon.

	Early advertisements for the Galvatron toy presented the character as an altogether separate being from Megatron, and in some cases, even being Megatron's ''underling''. The second "[[Scramble City (diorama)\|Scramble City]]" OVA was a remake of the original animated version, albeit including the Galvatron toy for promotion. Galvatron appears to fight his nemesis, Ultra Magnus, as Megatron barks orders from the background. This is likely due to Takara wishing to advertise the toy as quickly as possible, without full knowledge of the character's history. To maintain Galvatron's mystique, he was given the function of "City Commander", with no indication that he was an upgraded Megatron. Continuing this trend of unintentional disassociation, very early promotional artwork featured in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' and ''[[Comic ~~Bom Bom~~]]'' also presented Galvatron as a separate character.

	However, this era was very short-lived. In all official Japanese fiction, including the [[manga]] and the Japanese-exclusive cartoons, Galvatron is locked in as an upgrade of Megatron. A [[retcon]] was created by writer [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] for [[e-HOBBY]] in order to explain away the bizarreness of some of these early [[story page]]s, detailing that the Galvatron seen there was actually a dimension-travelling [[Galvatron II]].
