This toy holds a special place in mr heart because this is the last Transformers toy I remember getting when I was kid; I think it was I can’t remember which bday I got this as a gift. Geez, I’m misty eyed thinking about playing with this on the floor of my grandparents bedroom.
Just found one in a bargain bin at Goodwill while on lunch at work. In excellent condition. Didn’t have the guns. Didn’t know how to transform him and didn’t see the date. I haven’t been into Transformers in 28+ years. Finally found the stamp. Going back in an hour to hopefully dig through and find the guns
Sort of. You see in Japan (and in the American version) he was only supposed to transform into six forms. In fact there was a mold of Megatron (Gigatron) which did just that. The Galvatron (DevilGigatron) mold very much altered with more joints for more transformations in mind. When Megatron was brought over from Japan, Hasbro used the Devil Gigatron mold, but coloured it in Gigatron's colour scheme or so I've heard. In the cartoon though Megatron had six, then upgraded to ten modes as Galvatron
What's your opinion of the "secret mode", aka WingWolf? Only revealed in the Japanese shows, the animators made up that one by just playing around with one used for reference. It was that kind of extra fiddling around that created the extra modes for Devil Gigatron, they just retooled some extra bits to make unofficial fan modes canon.
Sixshot's a one-robot army! He's a jet fighter! That's one! A rocket car! That's two! He's a tank! Three! A winged wolf! Four! A laser pistol! Five! And a robot! That's six! Sixshot's my name!
I still vividly remember the commercial with Ultra Magnus and Sixshot and Galvatron rapidly yelling "Sixshot, show them what a one Decepticon army looks like!"
Love this figure. I know someone at one time made reproduction guns. He is currently not making them,but, if he does start up production again, I will let you know, he does fantastic work. Will probably be easier and cheaper than tracking down originals. I know I will be getting a set from him if he starts again.
baltmatrix, just to let you know that sixshot is a one robot army, 1:jet fighter,2:rocket car, 3: tank, 4:wheeled wolf, 5: a Lazer pistol, &6: a robot!
Well techincally Megatron has Six modes while Galvatron has Ten. I am aware that Megatron has ten modes it is the fact that Takara accidentally released their version of the toys to Canada
I just got this thing (or a re-issue of it, I'm not sure, it looks to be in shockingly good condition to be an original g1, I mean he even still has his sticker sheet, and the few that are on him look like they haven't aged at all!). Mine has an issue though, in that one of the knees is loose, and I can't get at the screw to titan it because its on the inside of the leg, and they can't rotate far enough. This makes his gun mode unusable for me, but oh well. His other modes work fine.
I know of a Sixchanger that is neither Sixshot nor Quickswitch. Robots In Disguise Megatron. And I know for a fact that RiD Galvatron tops even that, being a *ten*changer.
Actually RID galvatron/megatron aren't six changers or even ten changers because theirs no really any way of it being a actually changer of that sorts plus actual six changers are from in masterforce which was the (forgot his name) Japan's verison of quick switch thens their the repaint of six shot whos name is great shot and is an autobot six changer in transformers victory
i cant believe you are doing six shot, i just learned about him a few weeks ago and was wondering ab out him and thought he was cool and then bam you review hi,
Funny thing is long before white megatron came out i had the black one and made up a couple of the forms like the elephant and i think one other. Transformation was the same too.
will you do a video on him? i'd love to see that one. i dont own any transformers figures (besides my old beast wars toys), nor can i afford to buy any of the new ones (i would love to own the tank hulk, but its $100!!!!!!!!), so i just watch videos like this so i can at least see all these figures i will never own.
Oh god.. I never knew those arm joints had swivels, but then Sixshot was my first transformer and I was 4. Reading instructions weren't my strong suit. :
galvatron = white megatron = purple/black two very interesting figures cause one has more altmode then the other but both are supposedly the same figure.
a sextuple changer? I can see why hasbro has no plans to give him a generations update anytime soon.....or until the day when we figure out how to actually make transformers.......
im glad you didn't show his seventh form. the seventh form is a winged wolf. it starts in wolf mode and its basically returning the arms to tank mode then taking the feet and setting it up to a weird cross between the front of jet mode and car mode. the guns can go on the the hinges of the wings or on the wing tips. honestly, I don't like it

It's a shame you don't have the guns. Sixshot is one of those figures that arguably needs those guns to be complete.

His name is Sixshot. He has six modes. This video was made six years ago.
Coincidence? I think NOT!!

Sixshot's a one-robot army! He's a jet fighter!
That's one!
A rocket car!
That's two!
He's a tank!
Three!
A winged wolf!
Four!
A laser pistol!
Five!
And a robot!
That's six!
Sixshot's my name!
I still vividly remember the commercial with Ultra Magnus and Sixshot and Galvatron rapidly yelling "Sixshot, show them what a one Decepticon army looks like!"
"and flip out the tanktop"
I see what you did there

I had this one when I was a kid, I love it so much.

So he turns into a beast, a handgun, and four different bricks.
A few years late to this video, but I just got an original 6-Shot today. He had one of his guns, but I found one on Ebay.
Well techincally Megatron has Six modes while Galvatron has Ten. I am aware that Megatron has ten modes it is the fact that Takara accidentally released their version of the toys to Canada
I watched this as soon as Balt said in his titans return remake on this "I can't help but think that it used to be something different
Wow, you've kept this guy in great shape given how long you've had him. Wonder if we will ever get another well made six changer again?
(\I I/)

I really want this figure!
There was only one mold in the Brave series that was made into a toy and that was J-Decker's Shadow-Maru.
Another figure that could do with a Generations remake, with all six modes.
If done well it would be like shooting cyberducks in a barrel
Ummmm a voyager would be no way XD we neeed a leader class to fit teh needs of sixshot
+Jetfire48 hot spot can pull a six shot
+Johnnyprime04 kind of it was as a joke mostly plus six shot is getting an new figure
Reina Watt welcome to titan masters sixshot
So I've seen, I'm hoping I can get him, he's hard to find
I know of a Sixchanger that is neither Sixshot nor Quickswitch. Robots In Disguise Megatron.

He does and he even he's made a review for it.
I waited so long for this video! Thank you Balt, ^.^
i cant believe you are doing six shot, i just learned about him a few weeks ago and was wondering ab out him and thought he was cool and then bam you review hi,
He's my favorite g1 toy.
He has a seventh mode, but it only got used one time in the Headmasters season.
Yes, they just found four more modes and added them for Galvatron.
i had this one years ago and i miss it. i have no idea what happned to it
They put a lot more effort into this than quickswitch.
Funny thing is long before white megatron came out i had the black one and made up a couple of the forms like the elephant and i think one other. Transformation was the same too.
Tecnically isn't official, also if seen on the show... but yes, he forgot to mention the last mode.
I still have my Sixshot, too. I even have the weapons and the instructions.
atleast the tank mode is actually a tank unlike other tank modes *shifts eyes to dinotanker*
I suggest you do a review of Shadowmaru. In fact, I would love to see more Brave reviews from you!
this was super helpful! thank you
Holy crap and a half, never realized he was so big....
You gonna pick up Terminus Hexatron?
Have you ever had the Six Shot that came out before this one? He was six pulse rifles that became one robot mine was stolen
I have absolutely zero recollection of this transformer. Must have been a bit after my time.
Well, at least he doesn't have a trigger between his legs *cough* Megatron *cough*.
i have the g1 version of this guy i love him
will you do a video on him? i'd love to see that one. i dont own any transformers figures (besides my old beast wars toys), nor can i afford to buy any of the new ones (i would love to own the tank hulk, but its $100!!!!!!!!), so i just watch videos like this so i can at least see all these figures i will never own.
Oh god.. I never knew those arm joints had swivels, but then Sixshot was my first transformer and I was 4. Reading instructions weren't my strong suit. :
you are aware in the japanese cartoon he could transformed into a winged wolf which he used to killed ultra magnus
He didn't when he made it
From what i have seen while there are other six changers none of them have done it as well as Sixshot.
galvatron = white megatron = purple/black two very interesting figures cause one has more altmode then the other but both are supposedly the same figure.
Six shot is so cute.
#RebirthNonCanon
#HeadmastersSeason4
a sextuple changer? I can see why hasbro has no plans to give him a generations update anytime soon.....or until the day when we figure out how to actually make transformers.......
ShadowSneakz nahh.... more like hexachanger.but there's still potential.
+Roadbreach actually he's a seven changer lol true fact actually
Bull####
Yeah he is look in g1 japan
The wing wolf mode Roadreach?
This figure is so much better than TR new
My first six shot was not a 6former. Mine was six guns that combined into one robot
It's just Galvatron from RID or Devil Gigatron if you're Japanese. EPIC NAME FOR A VILLIAN! :D
easy way is just to use the japanese names with Gigatron being the black one and devil gigatron as the white altered version
RID Megatron is also a six changer.
there is only 1 other 6 changer and his name is Quickswitch
I love your reviews man, but you MUST have the guns to complete some of his transformations.
The car mode is an armored carrier btw.
It's a car. It's got headlights, four wheels, and a windscreen. Car. Thanks. Shut up.
+LA W armoured car?
The tank mode kinda reminds me of Groundeon from Goseiger.
when is the grimlock from fall of cybertron coming out?
Do you plan on buying replacement guns for Sixshot?
i really want one now!
I have the matalic version
NICE!!!!
when will the metallic form come i cant wait to get it
Did you look for replacment guns on ebay?
At 1:35, you basically bended Sixshot's knees, so doesn't that mean he has knee articulation?
when does the new one come out and where?
are you going to get Hexatron?
Well There is Seven Changer from Dagarn who has seven form. ( If I am right)
is it me or does the wolf mode look like the white tiger megazord lion mode
this guy is shadowmaru from brave police j-decker
They made a 3rd-party version of that toy
Yeah its hexagon...
No, Hexa-changer
Sorry i meant Hexatron plus his name is hexatron i meant that but it was autocorrected
+Jetfire48 damn auto-correct
I know right. :D
Imagine if it was Megatron sixshot custom named megashot
In Japan, yes
I wonder how do you get Inside the car
its just you
Um...Rid megatron is a ten-changer.
I put this guy on layaway today 65 bucks
i want to see a G1 bruticus
im glad you didn't show his seventh form. the seventh form is a winged wolf. it starts in wolf mode and its basically returning the arms to tank mode then taking the feet and setting it up to a weird cross between the front of jet mode and car mode. the guns can go on the the hinges of the wings or on the wing tips. honestly, I don't like it
i though he was a 10 changer
cool story
You know about the 7th mode?
cory powell
i wish i had one
i had 2 but i lost it when i was a kid :(
no it isnt
White galvatron ?
for 500 dollar so be to cheap for this guy
Sixshot - guns = noshot fail
theres the autobot counter part quickswitch though not as cool
Check online stores like tfsource big bad toy store. Be warned its pricey.
Devil Gigatron?
"tank" top ?
6:32 WTF did anyone else hear that
hello
first!
