Leonard Nimoy was amazing as the sane Galvatron. That said, Frank Welker did a great job as the unhinged one.

Galvatron going insane did make a lot of sense, he had a powerful mental link with what was essentially their universes personification of Evil in Unicron. It also fit with the greener leadership style of Rodimus Prime, who was having trouble entering the role. Having an Unhinged Clinically Insane Leader take on a Novice Leader was really good.

Fans: *How many Transformers characters did you give voice to?* Frank Welker: *Yes.*

For me megatron was a great leader but galvatron was CRAZY

I wish we got to see Optimus Prime and Galvatron interact more in G1

G1 is by far my favorite version of Galvatron. Heck, to me that’s the only Galvatron. If Galvatron was never Megatron, he isn’t Galvatron.

The original origin was fantastically rich. Megatron ascends to Galvatron, the most powerful Decepticon, but then goes crazy, neutralizing himself for a fair battle. Absolutely beautiful.

Galvatron had my favorite line in the movie: "Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy!" And that was my favorite scne because... let's face it, Screamer had that coming for a long time!

He should have a connection. That's what makes him cooler.

I love Galvatron being insane and everyone plotting against him.

To quote Astrotrain, “Well, they were the same guy.”

I always wished in Dark of the Moon when Sentinel Prime broke bad he would have said something like "I reject the mandate of Primus, I no longer consider myself a prime...I am Galvatron! " Especially considering who voiced Sentinel Prime.

You dropped it! You dropped it didn't you?! YOU BROKE THE MATRIX DIDN'T YOU!

For a while I thought the time frame of G1 Galvatron being out of his mind was like a result of "I got supercharged by a god of evil, and I still lost".

Megatron in Armada should of stayed as Megatron throughout the series, then becomes Galvatron in Energon throughout that series.

"Well all I can say is... *RAAHHHHHHHHHH* "

Me: *Sees Galvatron in Age of Extinction “Oh so he should be Galvatron in the next movie right?” TLK: *”NO”*

G1 Galvatron's my favorite! Love his design, goes to show that G1 will always have the definitive designs for most characters!

To me Galvatron is a reincarnated Megatron.

19:28 : somewhere in the multiverse jazz smiles

"Heres a hint!" *intro plays*

I personally think that Galvatron not being connected to Megatron is bad comedy

Once I would have thought of the notion that Galvatron and Megatron being different characters as heresy, but I also would have thought of Megatron having a redemption arc and joining the Autobots as heresy and IDW turned that into the best version of Megatron ever, and likewise made me love the idea of Galvatron being someone else. That said, I still love the G1 cartoon Galvatron (though why Frank Welker didn't try to mimic Nimoy's voice for him is something I'd love to ask him) because of how utterly unhinged he was. The best S3 stories ("Webworld" and "Dweller in the Depths" are the best S3 episodes you can't change my mind) heavily feature him. While I prefer his movie/cartoon colors, I kinda like the fact that the Marvel comics version of Galvatron uses the toy colors as it helps differentiate him. It doesn't hurt that the Marvel comic was better than the G1 cartoon about 90% of the time.

"Well, all I can say is- GGGRAAAAAHH!" - Insane Galvatron, a bot of many words.

"hail Galvatron, hail Galvatron"

From the episode 'The Return of Optimus Prime: Part 2' Galvatron: "You told me it's important, but you didn't tell me why!" Optimus: "That's because I know you too well, Galvatron." Is it just me, or the writers missed an epic opportunity to make Optimus call him Megatron instead of Galvatron?

I'm from UK so grew up with Simon Furman's amazing storytelling. What he did with Galvatron leading up to the amazing Time Wars was genius.

Galvatron: I'm not crazy! You're crazy! Especially you Starscream! Starscream: Ayyee Edit: credit to Purple Emerald for using Starscream instead

You forgot the best part of the episode "The Ultimate Weapon": namely, when Swindle tried to make Galvatron PAY for Metroplex' transformation cog! To this day, I am SHOCKED that Galvy didn't do to Swindle what he did to Starscream, considering how much less patience he had than when he was Megatron! And Swindle...well, greed overrides his logic circuits on a daily basis! 😂

5:20 *Team Galvatron is blasting off again!* Even Galvatron is not safe from that meme😂😆

6:48 that yell tho 😆 haha

'You cannot stop me, I am Galvatron! I am your destruction!' - that was such a badass line, not gonna lie

Galvatron was like the Thanos of the UK Comics

I've always admired the movie for having the guts to pull off so many massive status quo changes. Even if not everyone was into them, they were way more daring than what most cartoon narratives ever experiment with!

As a kid, after the Galvatron rebirth in the movie I remember considering Galvatron as the most grossly overpowered character. Probably had a lot to do with turning Starscream into metal shavings with 1 shot, and annihilating Ultra Magnus with ease in the same movie. Anything that got blasted by him died immediately. His insanity was menacing for an 9 year-old, too. Watching Welker’s TV clips now, it’s kind of hilarious just how maniacally insane and unpredictable Galvatron was.

3:04 the way Megs yelled "S T A R S C R E A M !" always makes me grin 😀

Hey Robimus you hear the news, apparently we're going to get and Earthrise Prowl and Ironhide via Amazon and another pack of desepticons but we don't know what that one will have with it yet.

There have been many takes on Galvatron, but I think the original G1 version will always be the favorite.

Web World was one of the best episodes as it was the only decepticon centered episode.

Galvatron the baddest decepticon leader of all and my favorite decepticon who took no nonsense from his followers

Yes, it’s finally here , I’ve been looking forward to this.

The UK Marvel stories were so amazing, so creative. That version was easily the best, loved the time travelling all-powerful totally mad Galvertron. The artists were just brilliant. the colours just jumped off the page. When he battered the Dinobots, Shockwave and destroyed Centurion!

One of my favorite characters. I hate the fact that he has so many bad toys.

Love the episode where Cyclonus, takes Galvatron, to the space docs.

G1 Galvatron Me: I think it's badass I like it. Friend: love it. Michael bay: well I hate it.

We all love Optimus Prime. He is our transformers hero. But, he never threw Megatron across the galaxy like Rodimus did to Galvatron. :-)

"thats because I know you too well, Galvatron" Optimus wasnt about to take Galvatron's BS lol

I still remember getting Galvatron for Christmas in (what had to be) '86. After that brief moment of, "Well, this looks nothing like I expected," I proceeded to have a ton of fun. I had this running theme back in my childhood action figure stories where not only did all of toy lines (you know, TransFormers, He-Man, Thundercats, Secret Wars, Star Wars, Voltron, etc, etc, etc...) exist in the same world, but in those pre-Christmas days, I pretended like the box they were kept in was like a big block of ice that would soon thaw ("yes" to any questions you might have about surprises on Christmas in my youth). This was always the most fun when it was a major character, like Galvatron. Aside from the stark differences in appearance between toy and cartoon, I still loved that figure and is one of the few I really, really wish I still had.

Galvatron's G1 animation model (particularly in the movie) is and likely always will be my favorite character aesthetic. From the arm cannon to his "crown" helmet, everything about his look is perfect in my eyes. So much so that I am trying to track down a FansToys Sovereign, because that is the single most faithful real world depiction of him to date.

Had to rewatch this after getting Kingdom Galvatron, he's a fantastic figure

I think my favorite thing about Frank voicing Megatron is that in his age the voice went from sounding evil to menacing emperor of true evil….

Great video. I remember some years ago Ben Yee and I got into a discussion about Galvatron. Ben was not a fan and said he was a poor leader due to his style of punishing and attacking his own troops

It's better that he have his connection to Megatron

All I can say to this video is AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Even though I grew up with the Bayverse version of galatron my favorite will always be g1.

My favorite galvatron is from the 1986 movie, pure brutality, especially when he killed starscream

FINALLY! A retrospective of my favourite character! Thank You Rodimus!

Thank you for making this! Galvatron is one of my favorite Decepticons :D

As the video shows, Galvatron was listed on his Tech Specs as City Commander, because the figure was released before the movie. That's why the ads always show him as Ultra Magnus's nemesis, since that was also his title.

Galvatron is Megatron, I wouldn't have it any other way. Great vid ROD!

"Long live Galvatron!" ✊😎

I literally just bought a Galvatron t-shirt this morning , and you release this awesome video. Love the content man keep it up . G1-For Life

0:44 one of my favorite scenes from the movie (karma, glitch)

Great video! I love the G1 Galvatron and his madness. He is my favorite Decepticon.

His original toy was gray?! This is bad comedy.

I think that the voicing of Galvatron is accurate because when Unicron forged Galvatron, he took on the Great Leonard Nimoy's voice, but when he was plunged into Thrull's plasma pools, his vocal circuits could have been fried, becoming the higher-pitched Raffish-Ralphesque Galvatron by the Spectacular Frank Welker. That makes sense, right?

2:54. Bonecrusher:"In that case I say it is survival of the fittest!"

shoutout to soundwave staying the same through it all !

Hello Rodimus how are you doing during these dark times

The shear amount of editing and research you put into these is reason enough to enjoy...add that to your delivery and you have a masterpiece 🤘😁🤘 Fantastic ,Dude. Absolutely fantastic

word has it, Galvatron is still arguing with Scorponok to this day

“Pulled a move out of Sub-Zero’s playbook” LOL

It will do you no good, Autobot. It cannot be opened. Not by a Decepticon!

I love that he has a strong connection to Megatron.

Yes!!!! I have been waiting!!! Thank you rodimus primal!

This was a really great video. Well done.

I think Galvatron should always be an upgraded Megatron.

Great job on this episode. Insane Galvatron is my favorite Decepticon.

Did I ask you for salvation? Cyclonis, Well did I !!!!! Awesome.

Ah, haven’t clicked on your videos to check out so fast before! Galvatron is my favorite Transformer!

Galvatron being voiced by late Leonard nimoy is one of the best things that happens to character and the movie

my favorite decepticon

“Did I ask you for deliverance? DID I?!?!?!?!?!”

"Well all i can say is AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Galvatron

I like the first version of Galvatron because he's a no nonsense, psycho version og Megatron...and hilarious to say the least.

I always preferred galvatron to be an evolved form of megatron. If I were to keep the connection, I'd have galvatron be a megatron from a parallel timeline like in the marvel comic.

Geoff Seniors art in Transformers UK and later Marvels American continuity was beautiful to behold.

Megatron: twisted former hero turned tyrannical megalomaniac Galvatron: absolute loon and ham villain

Astrotrain experienced drag and weight while in the vacuum of space? If Megatron passed science class he’d have blasted him too at Star scream’s coronation.

Webworld might be my favorite season 3 episode.

Truly enjoyed this video. Thank you

My favourite Galvatron is the Marvel UK. There is a third Galvatron knocking about in Marvel continuity. He first appeared in Aspects of Evil: Galvatron and possibly is the same Galvatron in Perchance to Dream. The Megatron that teamed p with Galvatron in Time Wars is actually a Megatron clone created and inhabited by Lord Straxus

he should have a connection to megatron considering thats his "origin" in the transformers universe

No this is where things get interesting

Starscream: Megatron is that you? Galvatron: there's a hint **fires a cannon**

I would've waited an eternity for this it's finally here

Megatron/Galvatron: “Hmm. I thought Optimus Prime would surely give me more of a challenge? I have changed. I am no longer Megatron, Megatron was a loser.” Ransack: “Woah if you ain’t Megatron no more, then who are you?” Galvatron: “I am invincible, I am Galvatron!” (Megatron, introducing himself as Galvatron, after being beaten by Metroplex, Fury.) (If you can tell my favorite version of Galvatron is the one from Cybertron, and I really would like a toy of him, Megatron and Optimus, plus I never had a leader class toy when they still sold the Cybertron toyline and I was about 5 when the show ended. When I said fury I meant the episode when he became Galvatron.)

I don't know why, but every time i hear Galvatron's "Here's a hint." i imagine Starscream as he disintegrates replying "Nope, going to need another one." I can't recall anything with Starscream's character that would lead me to think that those would be his last words, and yet....................

Galv: The Matrix! I now possess that which you most feared! Unic: BWOOOAAAHHH!!!

When I was growing up in the 90s can you still watch Transformers are there but it was never my go-to show. But a while back that's on your Channel and I love watching all your respectively videos. Keep up the great work Broski! You rock!
