Planet Iacon on Facebook has shared images of a colored prototype for the X-Transbots Tyrant, a custom third party Galvatron toy. The Tyrant is modeled after Galvatron's design from Season 3 of Transformers Generation 1, and transforms into Galvatron's signature cannon mode.
Please note this is an unauthorised third party product not endorsed by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy

if this is good quality, i want it!
Hmm... It's trying some nice tricks but I'm not so sure they're translating as well in Alt mode as the designers might of hoped, curious to see some further pics though. ;):o
as it is a prototype maybe we will see something more refined down the trackQuote:

1. I imagined Galvatron as a little more sleek and slightly mroe bulkier in appearance.
2. For whatever reason, I hate the colour. I would like this in a slightly darker colour than RTS Cyclonus.
Change those and you have one sweet design. I agree the altmode didn't quite turn out as I think the designers hoped. Still, more work and it'll be great.
Well, look who's winge in the creative section came true? MINE. I feel sort of responisble even though I'm not in the slightest. (although I sent an email to toyworld (3rd party- Hegemon) who haven't replied for weeks now. I wrote in fluent Japanese and everything!
I am not sure if I like this. I would need to wait for more final prototype.
However I would prefer for Toyworld (Hegemon guys) to make a Galvatron. They are already proven to know what they are doing and we know what to expect when it comes to quality.
Agreed. I sent an email a while back about a Galvatron. Still.. awaiting a reply.Quote:

Maybe if this guys is not to pricey.......
Well its a good start. At the moment looks like this is the only Galvatron. Better than hasbros one. And has the right Alt mode. Hope its Voyager size. Then I just might get him
I think what's stopping me from liking this is the colors. The grey is too light to go with that dark blue/purple. It makes him look pasty. They need a darker grey and a lighter blue/purple.
Wonder how much it'll cost?
Looking forward to some more phones taken by a better camera.
Don't understand why they would spend lots of money developing the figure not to mention weeks/months (and years?) just to show it off with the dodgiest camera they can find :p
For someone who wanted a more cartoon accurate version of Galvatron i would have thought this to be a pretty good effort. :)Quote:

how can they make it more sleek and bulkier? do you mean they should make him hit the gym a bit?:p
Curious about that too, maybe he means Galvatron's arms should be bigger but his torso should be slimmer?Quote:

I don't know, you tell me. What do you think?Quote:

At first glance he doesn't look like he really fits into any of the official lines comfortably. Classics maybe? Depends on the size I guess.
Dude, you say this with everything. I'm talking EVERYTHING. You follow up every prototype / pre release pic with a "I need to see more before I make up my mind".Quote:

Out of curiosity to verify your statement about kup's comment I looked at his posts for the iGear005 figure (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=11508) and can't see him saying this.Quote:

I think he looks an excellent homage to Season 3 Galvatron, but I don't like him to much as a Classics type toy as he is pretty sparse on detail compared to most classics. He is nice in his own way, but at the moment I just don't envision a place in my collection fro him.Quote:
