Galvatronus is a Decepticon combiner from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

"For so long, I've been able to take anything I wanted. But it wasn't enough. I should have been able to rule the world with my power! And through you, that's exactly what I'm doing."

Galvatronus is a combiner composed of Cyclonus, Cyberwarp, Skyjack, Treadshock, and Riotgear.

"The future is now. We will be respected. We will overcome their hatred with brute strength! We will lead!"

"I'm the only one who matches you. Who challenges you. Who'll do anything for you."

When the corrupt Autobot High Council lost to the Bee Team during an earlier struggle, they merged into Galvatronus. In retaliation, the Autobots formed Ultra Bee and the two combiners clashed. Strongarm quickly noted that Galvatronus was a great deal stronger than Menasor, despite not being completely unified. During the fight, Cyclonus furiously revealed all of his manipulations, and proceeded to quickly beat Ultra Bee, primarily focused on Bumblebee himself. However, Cyberwarp, the arm holding Galvatronus's weapon, began to hesitate, regretting the Decepticon way, and managed to hold back Galvatronus. This opening allowed Ultra Bee to deliver the final blow, and separated the five. Freedom Fighters

"I've always been bad at small talk. I'm used to just saying things and they happen. It spoils you."

• Galvatronus (Team Combiner, 2017)
  • Accessories: Rifle

Part of the second wave of Robots in Disguise Team Combiners, Galvatronus was only available as a complete 5-pack of bots. Each toy has a vehicle-to-robot transformation as well as a combined mode. The Deluxe-scale Cyclonus forms the torso, while the four Scout-sized Decepticons form the limbs: space-fighters Cyberwarp and Skyjack form the arms, while ground vehicles Treadshock and Riotgear form the legs.

Each toy uses the same universal combination joint as the other Team Combiners and the Crash Combiners, which can lead to some... interesting combinations, given that most robots form very specific body parts when combined. Mixing Crash Combiners with Team Combiners leads to some especially weird results.

Notes

• Gavlatronus actually got an early "release" through the HasCon 2017 "Boutique" (aka "buy our stuff" area), which featured several Hasbro toys that hadn't made it out to retail yet.
• Despite never being named on screen, Galvatronus gets more lines than the sum of his parts do combined (no pun intended), the complete opposite of fellow gestalts Ultra Bee and Menasor.
• While the toy comes with a “small” rifle, Galvatronus wields a large battle axe made from his components’ individual weapons in the show.
