Like with Beast Wars, and Beast Machines it is "the great reformatting."

Hasbro figured that since scale was, apparently, important they would follow the Canon and make them smaller. Just like what happened after the great war, during the golden age of Cybertron.

What? Hasbro is just going with "synergy" across their brand. It's only logical.

So if you believe all that I just spewed I have a bridge to sell you in the Arctic for a really good price.

A bridge might not be a bad idea with all the melting ice and water :P.

They added new pics today he is just a wee bit shorter than ultra Magnus. He towers over siege Meg's. His legs are fine in the new pics. Think he is perfect

From the new pictures on TFW, I think it looks pretty good (there's a picture with him and Magnus and I like it). I think I've been spoiled with too many good 3P Galvatron's (Fanstoys, DX9), so lowering expectations make sense. That being said, I like that Kingdom Galvatron looks bulky. The overall figure looks fairly solid from how it's built.

To be honest, I think TR Galvatron looks better than this version, if only it wasn't a Headmaster.

Sorry, don't know why double-posted, I don't see a way to delete the 2nd post here.

There are various cannon adapters to better place his cannon, and different helmets. I had a couple from Shapeways and they made a ton of difference. I also knocked the pins off the cockpit and removed it.

I will always believe, purely speculation, that TR Galvatron was largely designed before they imposed the headmaster gimmick on it. The huge open chest clearly has room for a proper head to rotate down and tuck away in, and the third mode is even more tacked on than alpha trions lol.

Not really. That comparison picture is using that weird fish-eye shot from before. It's just not a good picture. If you look at the picture where they're comparing it to Ultra Magnus, the proportions look way better. To each their own.

Whoever is taking these photos is a damn troll. He's the same size as Leader Magnus, and looks quite complex. I can't wait for Galvatron!

Napseeker · 03-23-2021, 03:26 PM

Oh man, I can't wait to get my hands on that Kingdom Galvatron...

...and then spend a friggin' hour using my thumbnail to scratch off all of that stupid battle damage paint on his torso! Didn't anyone tell Hasbro that people mostly hated the battle damage paint on the SIEGE figures?
