Galvatron Cannon Position

[Jinto]

Is there a cannon (haha) reference as to whether G1 Galvatron's arm mounted cannon is attached to his forearm or upper arm?
From what I've seen even the people making the original show seemed to change it up at random.

I've seen drawings and screen-shots of both, I'm just wondering if there's a consensus.

Cheers.

On the toys (G1, Generations, TR, RH) the cannon was mainly just below the shoulder.

In the comics it was mainly just above the elbow.

As you pointed out, it varied in the G1 cartoon with either being upper-upper arm, lower-upper arm and forearm.

I reckon just above the elbow works. Gives him the option of either moving his cannon or not when he moves his forearm, and without having to move his whole arm when he wants to use it. Makes the most sense for consistency.

I certainly consider the most practical position to be on the outside of the arm just above the elbow.

that's where the shapeways connector I bought places it for Titan wars galvatron. .

I came in here to make a canon cannon joke but you took care of it in the first post

FWIW I've always seen it above the elbow

Yours is superior.

And yeah, I've only ever seen it mounted on Galvatron's right bicep.

Take a look at the pictures on TFwiki. Some screencaps it's on his forearm, others it's on his bicep. Might be another Akom animation error.
