Title:
Galvatron and Nucleon (Loose)
Description:
Galvatron (Voyager Class, 2016)
Series / Number: ?
Accessories: ’Nucleon’ Titan Master partner, cannon
Galvatron is a Voyager-class mold as part of the Titans Return subline imprint, partially inspired by Guido Guidi’s design from Spotlight: Galvatron. He transforms into his original cannon mode and also has a third mode as a space fighter. He includes a new "Nucleon” Titan Master partner that can turn into the robot’s head, or can pilot the vehicle modes. Like many of the weapons in the Titans Return line, his particle cannon features a cockpit for a Titan Master figure; it is undocumented in his instructions, but can be found by simply flipping up the back of the weapon.
Like all Titans Return Voyager-class figures, Galvatron has a spring-loaded pop-out adornment to "bulk up” his head to slightly more appropriate proportions. In his case, it’s a "mask” of sorts that consists of his signature crown and chinstrap that swings out of his chest. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sit flush against his face due to the mask’s overall thickness, and has minimal neck articulation, which has the effect of immobilizing the head pretty much entirely. Initial prototypes of the figure showed Nucleon with purple paint applications to help blend in with the surrounding mask, but the retail version is entirely unpainted grey plastic. The Takara Legends release however, features the same paint mask as the prototypes.
Many samples of this mold suffer from the running Titan Master design flaw, leading to loose or overly-tight neck ports. Several purple parts of the figure are in fact black plastic painted purple, the shade of which is visually mismatched to the actual purple plastic.
The promotional images for this figure depict a different sculpt for the crown-mask. This tooling lasted late enough in the development process that it surfaced on some prototypes. According to John Warden, the mold included a pretooled alternate head which was "an animated Galvatron”, and a toy-based silver version of the figure had been conceptualised, but neither of these possibilities were followed through on.
Galvatron was retooled into Generations Selects Super Megatron.
