Galvatron (BW)
Galvatron was a Predacon Emperor of Destruction during the Beast Wars era of the Generation 1 continuity.
Fiction
Beast Wars II
Galvatron was secretly appointed by the Tripredacus Council as Emperor of Destruction of the Predacon rebellion on planet Cybertron. Galvatron mustered a force of Predacon warriors and lashed-out against the Maximals. While battling Lio Convoy, Galvatron went through transwarp space and arrived on the planet Gaia. The Angolmois energy riddled through-out the planet proved to be a powerful energy source which Galvatron desired to possess. Galvatron downloaded a drill-mode and a dragon-mode from information stored in a computer which was left-behind by the planet's extinct inhabitants. The new transformation modes proved powerful but left Galvatron with an awful side-effect; without warning he'd slip into Angolmois energy-induced comas.
When he wasn't sleeping, Galvatron fought Lio Convoy and his Maximals on numerous occassions. At the same time, he fought-off ambitious Predacons such as the treachorous Starscream, BB and even his own little brother, Megastorm, the Duke of Destruction.
Galvatron eventually set his final plan into motion, summoning his battleship the Nemesis into Gaia's orbit. The ship then proceeded to suck all the Angolmois energy out of the planet and stored it within. The Maximals followed Galvatron and his Predacons to the Nemesis to stop him. Lio Convoy and Lio Junior merged into the Great Green Lion and narrowly defeated Galvatron in battle, thwarting his plans by ejecting the Angolmois energy from the Nemesis in capsules.
Defeated but not willing to surrender, Galvatron activated his Predacon Matrix, which set-off a self-destruction sequence in the Nemesis. The explosion killed Galvatron, sent the Predacons drifting helplessly through outer space and trapped all the Maximals within a wormhole.

After stealing all the Angolmois capsules from Magmatron and Big Convoy, the Blentrons released the energy into the corpse of Galvatron. Galvatron's body then served as the vessel of the reborn Unicron.
