| '''Galvatron''' is the most evil, most fearsome, and most awesome thing to ever fall out of [[Unicron|UniKREON]]'s big fat mouth. Nothing will stand in the way of his supreme conquest of everything! Nothing but a few soon-to-be-disintegrated traitors.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/kre-o/en_US/discover/microchangers.cfm# Kreon Micro-Changers online bios]</ref>

| [[Spinister (Kre-O)|Spinister]], Galvatron, and [[Scorponok (Kre-O)|Scorponok]] were sent by [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] to rob the [[Autobot City Bank]]. In heavy disguise, they went in and got the drop on the bank tellers, only for [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (Kre-O)|Wheeljack]] to turn up. The Decepticons called in [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]], who ripped the roof off the bank and disposed of the three Autobots, allowing the robbers to raid the vault of [[energon]]. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 1}}
| |
| | |
| Later Galvatron operated the machine to help make Megatron a grilled cheese sandwich, but failed to spot Wheeljack and [[Cliffjumper (Kre-O)|Cliffjumper]] sneaking onto the work site. When the interlopers were spotted, Galvatron and the other Kreons surrounded them, but they were merely a diversion. Moments later, the Decepticons were pelted with molten cheese and tied up in a net. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 2}}

| A bunch of Vehicons were helping build the Galvatron Factory Battle set when Optimus came stomping in on the scene atop of Grimlock. The Decepticon Kreons scrambled in terror, and Galvatron wound up losing an arm when a Vehicon grabbed hold of it as he was being drawn into Grimlock's mouth. {{storylink|Commercial/Age of Extinction#Dino Force|Kre-O Dino Force commercial}}

| [[Knock Out (Kre-O)|Knock Out]] invented a helmet that would upgrade Megatron to make him stronger, when he put it on his head, he was transformed into Galvatron. Galvatron went a destructive rampage causing [[Cyclonus (Kre-O)|Cyclonus]] to call the Autobots to stop him. In the end, the Autobots took his helmet off and he changed back into Megatron. But to [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]]'s horror, Knock Out starting creating more helmets for Megatron to try on. {{storylink|Enter the New Emperor of Destruction!?

| :Part of a six-figure preview wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Galvatron is a [[Blindpacking|blindpacked]] bagged mini-figure. He comes with extra parts which help him form a crude artillery cannon form. He has a purple redeco of Sentinel Prime's helmet, an orange redeco of Megatron's fusion cannon and his body armor comes from ''Battleship'' US soldiers Kreons.

| : Part of the second assortment of [[Kreon#Custom Kreons|Custom Kreons]], Galvatron comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. The plastics of his torso, arms and legs have a metal-flake sheen, and his similarly-shiny [[tampograph]]s are far more detailed than the original Kreon. His "normal" helmet and blade are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable combination drill/gatling cannon, a club (that can also accommodate the blade), a large rifle, a dual-missile backpack, and the [[Wheeljack (Kre-O)|Wheeljack]]-style wing-pack.

| : The centerpiece of the "[[Galvatron Factory Battle]]" set, Galvatron is rendered as a large buildable super-robot, a sort of mega-Kreon, with a new hip piece using larger balljoints. He does not seem to be based on... anything. Certainly not something that would become a vehicle.
| |
| | |
| :He's designed to fit on a large movable working slab in the factory playset.

| : Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction'' Custom Kreons, Galvatron comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His "normal" helmet and two drills (attached to clip-on turbines/cannons) are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens) and a spare hand, plus buildable tread-backpack, and a pistol (originally a Klingon disruptor from ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'').

| :You might have noticed the disparity between this set's "custom" possibilities and the above Custom Kreon's. Yeah. Losing nearly a dozen pieces will do that. This trend of less pieces per wave continued throughout the Custom Kreon series.

| |
| | |
| : This Toys"R"Us [[exclusive]] Blu-Ray + DVD release of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)| Age of Extinction]]'' includes a unique Galvatron Kreon, though at first glance you probably wouldn't realize that it's different from the "Grimlock Unleashed" version (see above). This version changes up which body parts use metal-flake medium-gray plastic and which use the metallic silver plastic (including his hands), has an even ''darker'' gray helmet, and completely new tampographs all around, possibly more movie-model-accurate? It's kind of hard to tell.
| |
| | |
| :This set also included a similarly "just different enough to make you mad" [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MovieGiftSet|Optimus Prime Kreon]].
