Born from the battered remains of Megatron, and nursed by an all-consuming Satan planet, Galvatron stole all our hearts in the 1986 classic Transformers The Movie.
Treacherous, murderous, and ruthlessly dicky; Galvatron spent his introductory film entry moping about his Faustian bondage pact. Nominally created to rid doom-globe Unicron of his Achilles heel - the Autobot Creation Matrix - Galvatron instead seized the artifact for himself, turning on his chubby master. Unicron retaliated by transforming into a million storey tall Lucifer-bot and eating his slave. Galvatron survived this feasting only to be soundly thumped and cast out into deep space by a transcending Autobot do-gooder. Curse and confound it all!
Galvatron spent the years between The Movie and Transformers Season 3 trapped in a lava swamp. A tragic state of affairs that caused him to turn inept and mental. A shadow of his former self, Galvatron muddled about future year 2010 beating up his subordinates and failing to trounce interim leader bot Rodimus Prime. Last seen in the US TV series finale falling into space, Galvatron had a brief lease of life in the Japan only animated TV series Transformers: Headmasters.
This is were our glorious hero met his doom.
Cornered on an ice flow by the despicable Autobot Headmasters, Galvatron was eventually seen off by a bizarre sentai form-up that saw the four strong goody task force holding hands, floating in mid-air, and violently expelling white hot plasma blasts. What an affront!
At least he went down fighting (and it basically took the entirety of the hero cast to do him in)!
Galvatron! This is how it ends: See the whole sorry episode here.
Goodbye Emperor of Destruction!
But wait! Although that was the last we saw of Galvatron, in a TV mag exclusive manga / full colour spread series: Battlestars: The Return of Convoy, his carcass was found and revived by yet another interstellar leach-form. This time Dark Nova reformatted his slave herald into an ultra powerful version of former persona Megatron.
Super Megatron was born!
