[edit]Beast Wars: Uprising
[edit]Following the Human Confederacy's destruction of Galvatron's forces during the Great Push, Galvatron was vivisected by Cybertron's best scientists. His remains were used to create the G-Virus, which was in turn locked away in Cybertron's Forever Vaults. There it remained for several centuries until the infamous gang known as the Antares Eight used a combiner to storm the Vaults and steal a sample of the virus.
Resistance member Grimlock had masterminded the heist, and planned to detonate a canister of the virus in Tesarus Arena. The transformation would cripple thousands of Builders, leaving them immobile and insane. However, several hundred Micromasters as well as Resistance POWs being forced to fight in the Game would become mobile Galvatrons. While attempting to execute his plot, Grimlock was confronted by Hot Rod. The two fought; Snapper, the only other survivor of Grimlock's squad, planned to go through with Grimlock's plan until Hot Rod informed him what the virus was, and the disastrous effects it would have. Snapper chose to destroy the virus, earning him Grimlock's enmity.
Meanwhile, Cop-Tur, sole survivor of the massacre of the Forever Vaults, succumbed to his brief exposure to the virus, mutating into a Galvatron and escaping Micropolis's infirmary.
