    So, in the Marvel comics, Megatron never turned into Galvatron?

    That's right. But the US and UK Marvel comics did feature Galvatron (who was once Megatron) who came back in time from the future where TFTM happened.

    You mean where TF:TM never happened? Otherwise I'm still confused.

    Most of Marvel's comics were set in the present (80s/90s). By the end of the Marvel comics (Generation 2 #12) the Megatron we knew never became Galvatron.

    Megatron became Galvatron in 2005 in a possible/alternate future timeline where the events of the movie happened. Then he travelled back in time and interacted with the present day. The Galvatron in the comics was Megatron but not "our" Megatron.

    The puzzles of the 4th dimension.

    That's all pretty twisted, but clears it up for me.

    And in the Cartoon universe, the Megatron that became Galvatron, never went back to be Megatron?

    Only in wacky and obscure Japanese fiction, but what happens in Japan stays in Japan. If you're not Japanese feel free to ignore it.

    Sorry to hear Goki but cheers for your help.

    Urgh...

    Well, I have the Tin-Box set and I have a suspicion that it might be utilising said Rhino Masters; I've found it basically impossible to find any proper comparison video so as to discern what to look for, the seasonal intros just have something odd about them that I can't put my finger on and I've felt this way for many years now.

    The tell tale signs are the really stupidly loud laser and explosion noises that Rhino added in. The original G1 track never had those. (-_-)

    That's what I'm thinking is tipping me off...

    Sigh,
    Now to investigate American DVD prices...

    I know that this question shouldn't be in this thread and that I am cheating ti get a quick answer, but where are the best places to get Transformers from (in general--old or new) around/Melbourne and the surrounding suburbs?

    And anybody seen an SDCC Arcee/Bumblebee pack in any Melbourne anime/comic/general geekery store around Melbourne? Would be nice to find on my birthday tomorrow.
