Gen Select 27 Galvatron

Some pictures of Gen Select Galvatron have been released, and boy am I disappointed.

It is a G1 toy deco for Galvatron and it doesn't look like he has any extras included for use with Unicron.

If it did have exclusive accessories for Unicron people would complain about having to buy another Galvatron just to get them.
As far as this toy's actual purpose goes - being a G1 toy accurate redeco of Kingdom Galvatron - it does the job perfectly. I'm in.

It's almost too toy specific for my tastes.

I was hoping it would be closer to Galvatron II, which didn't have the red around the chest area or the purple crown (although I'm hoping that that is just photography and is a reflective silver)

EDIT - apparently those details are a separate sticker pack included with the toy.

I'm very curious to see him without the stickers - because the crown and the red area around the chest are showstoppers for me, but look optional.

It's almost like the base toy is more comic accurate, stickered up is more toy accurate, and Kingdom is more cartoon accurate.

Looking through some scans of TFUK comics and Galvatron's colouring is rather inconsistent early on, this toy does seem to be missing the red "belt" which is a shame. The UK dropped the toy-accurate red shoulder pads pretty quickly.

So it's not spot on classic comics Galvatron but it comes pretty close and he's ready to beat up Commander Rodimus!

I?m glad I didn?t buy pink-purple galvatron with battledamage now. I?d much prefer a toy accurate version of him. I hope though they do eventually release a blue purple one like the animation though.

Apparently the con exclusive is a reformatting Galvatron that has the aforementioned Unicron extras. Amazon had both Unicron Galvatron and Selects Galvatron in those leaked listings along with regular Galvatron.

I quite like this one, especially the green matrix.

Ah, that's good to know. I grabbed the Unicron Galvatron so if that rumour is correct I should get those Unicron accessories. Although if he is being reformatted, that means I better pick up a standard Galvatron in addition much like I do with both Ghost and normal Starscream figures.

Also, the green Matrix is the one thing I like about this figure.

What are the aforementioned Unicron extras?
