Mini-review : Universe Classics Galvatron

Before people start complaining "Oh, but it's just a prototype": NO, it's not a prototype. It's the actual production toy. What you see here is what you will get.

ROBOT MODE









TANK MODE













ATTEMPT AT FIGURING OUT HYPOTHETICAL SPACE CANNON







PROS

-nice compact tank mode (no gaps or visible robot parts except for the hand inside the back of the turret)
-turret can rotate 360
-interesting transformation

CONS

-left arm keeps popping off because the ball joint is too big for the socket
-headsculpt makes Galvatron look like a toothless grandpa
-backheavy
-legs may pop off during transformation
-back halves in robot mode may also pop off during transformation
-ugly shade of orange (similar to Micron Legend Megatron)
-could use more paint apps to better define the tank treads (see: Marvel Crossovers Hulk)
-weird leg design... knees are too high
-not very stable in robot mode because of the backheavyness and the funky feet design
-limited poseability in the right arm (backpack gets a bit in the way when you move the arm up and it cannot move in or out - forearm is more poseable though)
-still no clue about the foldable legs... can't figure out the space cannon mode if there is one...

Overall, pretty disapointing. I say wait and pray for the Henkei version to solve the shoulder and deco problems. I've been able to fix the shoulder by resculpting it and adding epoxy to re-shape, but we shouldn't have to perform that kind of stuff when we purchase a brand new toy.
