I also scream when someone presses my front button.

When a toy can cackle insanely and call someone 'fool' aggressively in Japanese...its a definite win!

[@ExaltedArchvile]

Something to note about those voicelines used on the 2005 Takara Galvatron is that they're the same exact voice clips used for the voice feature on the MP-36 Megatron!

[@raymondtillotson6985]

There can never be too many videos centered on Galvatron. Galvatron himself told me so, and after seeing what happened to an underling who questioned this, I'm inclined to believe him.

Dang, that AAA battery swap from a remote feels like a direct shot!😂

[@ZZtheDark]

One thing to note about Galvatron's voice lines here is that there's NEW INFO no one talked about. Apparently it came from an old 80's toy which is called a Talkformer. There's 2 toys - Galvatron and Rodimus Prime. @Aburamaster102 has shorts of these in his RUclips Channel to show how they performed.

I had wanted one since 2009 when I first saw it as a ten year old. Finally got a sealed one about 8 months back. Needless to say, it is sealed no longer

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

Those same Japanese voice lines were reused for the Masterpiece MP-36 Megatron's fusion cannon as Megatron and Galvatron were both voiced by the same actor in Japan (similar to how Frank Welker returned as Galvatron fir season 3)

Funny and entertaining review! Missing this reissue is one of my biggest Transformers collecting regrets. Thanks a lot for reminding me how much I want it. 😢

[@colmodonnell3405]

Galvatron is a dangerous fella, once as a kid I pretended the missiles from his Armada toy were cigarettes, ended up choking and all Galvatron did was watch ☠️

[@jedder]

Gavin, thank you for sacrificing your time and remote to make this review of Galvatron improved happen. You truly spoil us.

[@michaellombardi1620]

Hearing you talk about my fave decepticon again is always worth my time

[@AlexReynard]

Yes. Get a Swerve.

[@BenDaresAll]

Congrats to the winner!

[@TsunogaiDanshaku]

I do have a soft spot for Galvatron's tank mode, because of how ridiculously blunt it is - It's nothing but a huge, massive, death-spewing sci fi cannon on little wheels. It only exists so he can position himself just right before blasting you to kingdom come.
