Galvatron looks better without that odd orange in every joint, but I don't see much point with the chrome on the turret sides. Henkei Ironhide looks much better, especially with the painted windows not being as glaringly brighter than the translucent ones!:D
Got a complaint?

Wow - I am so impressed by the improvement that is Henkei Ironhide!
I had hoped Takara would solve Habro's problems (terrible painted windows, and bright bright red!). I am a little surprised they've not gone down the obvious route of chroming the bullbar though.
Galvatron looks better, but I'm still not sure about the mould.

New sale thread added with a range of Transformers including Masterpiece, Botcon, CHUG, RID, Movies etc.
Looking for MP-11T Thundercracker and MP-9 Rodimus v2 (Takara version with as few QC issues as possible).
Check out my new sale thread now!

The big problem with Galvatron is his feet from what I can see. They look like they are just stuck on and no real substance to really keep them in their place. Is it a real problem btw with his feet? And I wish they had made the mold bigger since Galvatron is a big fella compared to other Transformers.

Problems not so much his feet as it is his knees, arms, random other parts are made to fall apart rather than break. If you're going to make something that complex then it's better to make it bigger (how are you gonna make the likes of Onslaught, Silverbolt, Powerglide et. all in the Ultra Class and not at least make Galvie a voyager?) and maybe add a few pins to the joints to keep them in place.

And even though I like the tank idea.... Why not his G1 self of the self propelled cannon, or whatever it was? It was a great idea on paper, and with modern casting and other techniques, it would look great and be a much more stable figure imho.RID Scourge wrote:Problems not so much his feet as it is his knees, arms, random other parts are made to fall apart rather than break.

hmm Classics Megs was a gun... ... Nerf looking or not. Once a company slaps an orange tip on it doesn't become an issue then. That and the subsidiary companies of Hasbro, if any, if they produce the sound effect toy guns then where is the safety issue then? As long as there is an orange tip there is no issue.

In the thread with all the questions for Hasbro, one of the sites asked about Galvatron's "third" mode. The response was that Takara initially designed Galvatron as a triple-changer (which is why there are some odd extra pieces on Galvatron that don't really make much sense). The Hasbro designer did say that initially he designed a Galvatron as a moveable cannon (much like his G1 version) but they went with the Takara version instead (can't remember why).
The question was specifically if when Takara released Galvatron, would they include his third mode in the instructions. It appears from the pics that that is probalby not happening.
He also said that initially they wanted it to be bigger, but decided against it because they already had Onslaught as an Ultra (which was a tank like transformer).
