Galvatron (Kre-O)

The name or term "Galvatron" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Galvatron (disambiguation).

Galvatron is a Decepticon from the Kre-O continuity family.

You gotta wonder how all that insanity is kept in such a tiny body.

Galvatron is the most evil, most fearsome, and most awesome thing to ever fall out of 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.

Fiction

Kre-O cartoon

Spinister, Galvatron and Scorponok were sent by 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, Bumblebee and Wheeljack to turn up. The Decepticons called in Devastator, who ripped the roof off the bank and disposed of the three Autobots, allowing the robbers to raid the vault of energon. 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 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. Quest for Energon, Part 2

Toys

Kre-O

Normally, it looks like a Kreon posed in a way that very vaguely resembles a cannon, but if you squint you can- Oh, forget it! Who am I kidding?

• Galvatron (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2012)
  • Kit number: A1008
  • Bag number: 21451 8
  • Accessories: Arm cannon

Part of a six-figure preview wave of Micro-Changer Kreons, Galvatron is a blindpacked bagged mini-figure. He comes with extra parts which help him form a crude artillery cannon form.

  • Set number: A7316
  • Pieces: 42
  • Accessories: Rack, arm-cannon, drill-cannon, blade, club, large rifle, missile-backpack, small wing-pack

Part of the second assortment of "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 tampographs are far more detailed than the original Kreon. His "normal" helmet and blade are 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), 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-style wing-pack.

Though widely solicited, this wave of Custom Kreons ultimately never saw release outside of Chinese-market distribution circles.

Not quite the same Galvatron as the dude on top of this page.
