  • Accessories: Cannon

AoE Galvatron transforms into a 2012 Freightliner Argosy - and not surprisingly, he is a complete shell-former, with his truck mode folding up solely along his back and calves. As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with less paint applications on his body and weapon. His truck mode is also a darkish grey, rather than the black seen in the movie footage. His cannon can either be held like a gun, or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is mentioned in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

Galvatron revived mixed reviews from the fandom.Those who gave the figure a positive review pointed out the detail of the sculpting,the highly detailed truck mode,and the way the truck cab collapses.Those who gave Galvatron a negative review pointed out the lack of paint apps and the fact he is a shell-former.Some thought that the cab collapsing was a clever solution to the robot mode,as it bears little resemblance to the truck on the CGI model.Others felt this was a plainly lazy option and that the robot should have more veichle parts and integration.

Notes

• Concept art for Galvatron in Dark of the Moon was created by Massive Black artist Bruno 'Nox' Gore. Whether he was intended to be an upgraded Megatron or a separate character entirely is unknown. [1].
• Interestingly, the toy-bio for Galvatron on the Voyager packaging does not mention anything about Galvatron, but rather how the Autobots face new advisories after the Battle of Chicago.
