Electrochemical laser

This article is about a character or concept that has no name. For more information, see Help:Nameless.

Powered by chemical reactions, an electrochemical laser emits direct current electricity. Galvatron wields one in robot mode.

Notes

• The laser referred to in Galvatron's bio is often assumed to be the orange cannon on his arm, but it may be referring to the toy's hand-held rifle.

• While emitting DC electricity is a rather strange thing for a laser to do, it is a neat pun on Galvatron's name. A galvanic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, is a certain type of chemical voltage source. Though Galvatron's toy's batteries are not galvanic cells, they do produce DC electricity chemically, making his toy one of the more fiction-accurate in the Generation 1 line.
