BEHOLD- GALVATRON!

....Energon Galvatron that is!

I have to say I'm an idiot for passing this guy up five years ago, He is...Stunning. Simply stunning.
The Energon Megatron was a fairly neat toy but the G1 Cartoon inspired paint scheme on this mold makes it shine. Like this was the toy it was born to be, the deep purples, the metallic cherry red, the translucent orange, Just an amazing toy and The Galvatron my Generations Cylconus and Scourge, and we fans deserve.

Sadly I have no idea how to make the big impressive embedded pictures you'll just have to settle for tiny ones with captions-

Photo 3: ...That tank drone must turn into something, right?

Oh, and Sutton who makes those G1 heads for the Universe Combaticons?

Oh, and Sutton who makes those G1 heads for the Universe Combaticons?

Onslaught's is a straight G1 Onslaught head. I've left it so it detaches and hides in the cabin headmaster-style so it's not visible in vehicle mode.

Brawl's is from PCC Heavytread, I was initially going to try the mod to turn him into a leg, but it makes Bruticus' knee look a little funny - I decided the combined form takes precedence over the individual bots.

Vortex's is custom-molded from an old Energon Duststorm, resculpted and with a visor added - not 100% happy with it but it'll do until I find a better replacement, which is tricky because it needs to be quite small. I also unscrewed the cockpit which now attaches to his back in robot mode - no clips, just held in place by friction over the spark crystal thingy - and painted the chest purple to make him more passable.


I think there's a guy on TFW who was making custom G1 heads for these guys at one point.

Good to know.
And while I've been having fun with lots of Transformers from time gone by I've made my first modern puchase in quite a while. Toys R Us exclusive Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. A very nice toy and a respectable shout out to Hot Rod in G1 toy colours and honestly not nearly as fiddly as I was expecting. the sale price just made it impossible to pass up.
Now, Rodimus doesn't impress me as much as MPO4 or Grimlock but the real reason to buy this toy is clearly Offshoot. I realise people didn't like Takara's trailer for the Space Winnebago mode but I'm a little annoyed it's not included here. BUT Offshoot more than makes up for that. He's an amazing little guy. An excellent G1 Targetmaster representation with great articulation and tons of personality in the little guy. If you've been of two minds wether or not to pick up Roddy at Toys R Us now is the time to do it. Go on! Go! Get him!
