    I am assuming that the Turret comes off at the loop joint.

    Simply coat a bit of super glue or nail polish within the red marked inner loop of the shoulder joint as shown.



    or om the outer surface of the orange peg underneath the turret:



    I hope this helps.

    thanks for that insight kup.

    but the problem i am seeming to have is with the orange ball joint between the rifle and the turret it just flops around on his shoulder
    i have yet to notice this to move around on others during transformation.

    except for on sean long's sum what short abusive review (to which he claimed was a joke?)

    i've had a look it seems that it is just that way but i was asking to be sure for the reasons noted above

    anywho thanks for the help

    Ok so rather than start a new topic, I thought I might tag on my problem on the end of this thread first...

    my problem is within the same region although on a different joint:




    In this pic it shows where galvatron's canon is detatched off one end. However, my problem is on the OTHER end of the joint where it's become detached from the shoulder (i guess?) and i just cant get it back in. It's taken me an hour so far. It happened to me once before and I remember it taking me a little while to get back in there but this time around is just giving me the absolute sh*ts. I was close to just smashing galvatron on the ground coz i was getting that frustrated with it! Does anyone have any pointers or an easy way to getting it back in? Sorry i dont have pics, its kinda late and im about to go to bed. I can take pics to show if people don't quite get what im getting at.

    Thanks in advance!

    basically push the whole joint back and make sure its lined up straight. then fold it in on itself. where I've added the 2 arrows, those parts slide into grooves so take a look at the back and you should see where they go into so just push the joint forward and everything should lock into place.

    i had the same problem when i first got mine i found that the ball joint was not pushed in properly during manufacture so it was a bit rough but i managed to force/push it on properly and voila seemed to work, been awhile since i have had him out of storage though,but perhaps its a case of maybe just disassemble the turret and see if it is seated properly like i said i can't quite remember how it's all put together but maybe that'll help

    I believe that he was intended to be a Voyager/Ultra during the design and even prototype stages. However due to Hasbro's 'All Generation toys must be deluxes!' silly policy, he got shrunken down.

    Galvatron wasn't a Generations toy, Kup. Their reason was allegedly that there were already 'too many tanks at larger scale classes', nothing to do with Generations.

    My apologies, Universe. However it is still within the scope where Hasbro was beginning with this 'Deluxe' push which figures in Generations most closely adhered to.
