Galvatron II
| 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 an alternate Generation 1 future.
Galvatron was Megatron reborn in the fires of Unicron. In an alternate timeline, Unicron consumed Cybertron and Galvatron was given Earth to rule. It is the year 2009, and only a handful of Autobots remain -- even their leader, Rodimus Prime, has fallen. What chance, then, do the rest of us have?
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Galvatron originally controlled the Americas in an alternate 2009 where Unicron had been victorious in his attack on Cybertron. He knew that the other countries of Earth were planning a nuclear strike against the force-field with which he barricaded the continents. He thought that his shield could withstand, and absorb, the energy of the attack. This Galvatron was quite mad in his home time - he lethally punished his close lieutenant Cyclonus, and continued to 'kill' a long-dead Rodimus Prime whose remains he'd strung up on what was left of the World Trade Center.
Before he could make good his plans for nuclear energy, though, he was snatched through time to 1991 by Hook, Line, and Sinker, who were working for a Unicron who 'may or may not become' the one who created him. This Unicron tried to use him as a soldier in his own attack on Cybertron, but Galvatron quickly turned against him. He assisted Emirate Xaaron in his attempts to awaken Primus; Unicron sent Hook, Line and Sinker to eliminate Galvatron, but he easily destroyed the trio.
After Unicron's destruction, a group of Decepticons hijacked the Ark, and Galvatron stowed away on board. He then fought against and subsequently allied with this era's Megatron, teaming up with him to destroy Shockwave before the Ark crashed on Earth. Now driven completely mad, he wreaked havoc until he was defeated by Fortress Maximus. He hasn't been seen since Maximus threw him into a frozen lake.
E-Hobby
Galvatron II later menaced G2 Ultra Magnus with his personal Warworld. Galvatron II succeeds at defeating and nearly killing Ultra Magnus until a heavily armed Optimus Prime intervenes, destroying Galvatron's arm cannon.
Note: Nobody is sure which continuity this takes place in, perhaps not even its author.
Toys

Trivia
- Compared to the first Galvatron, this guy was a bit pathetic. His predecessor was shot by just about every Transformer you can name, buried under a volcano, soundly beaten by Unicron on more than one occasion, then lost half of his head before finally being destroyed by a rift in space and time. Makes you wonder how this guy beat Rodimus Prime in his own time, but meets his end thanks to a frozen lake.
- That's not blusher he's wearing in the picture at the top. It's the fires of evil burning within his soul.
