Another update from third party company Fans Toys tonight as we get a look at their take on a Masterpiece-style Galvatron! In tandem with the announcement of FT-17 Hoodlum, we have pics of FT-16 Sovereign as an early grey resin prototype. Like the animation model, Sovereign looks quite strong but not too beefy. He’ll also come with an extra “angry face” and what appears to be a Matrix of Leadership of his own. We don’t have a look at his cannon mode yet, but one shot does set him between very familiar silhouettes shaped like his fearsome comrades, Cyclonus and Scourge!
No pricing or release date is known at this time, but check back later for that info and be sure to check out the pics and join the discussion after the jump!

Owned both Purpletron and M version. Definitely prefer the M model.
Really wish I had picked up the Toy deco when it was 1st released too.

I found the purple… too purple? To bright I think. The M-version was a good alternative for me.

I never was able to get on board with the "M" version. I've got a couple copies of The Movie and in all of them he's clearly purple. The only time he looks blue-ish is when he's in shadow or in a really dark scene (like inside Unicron).
Won't lie and say I haven't been tempted though.

Alt mode is ass, really not worth it.

There's one for sale just a few posts up in this thread.

FT's own transformation video works really well!

I only have the purple one but this is still one of my favorite figures. XTB's might come along and be more poseable, but will it be heavy enough to kill a man if you hit them with it?

Months i've owned the toy version of Sov: 4.
Transformations attempted: 0.
It must be time to bite the bullet soon!

Having owned both, I prefer 16M over the original purple. But I also regret selling on my original purple version. I'll probably try and pick him up again when the XTB eventually comes out. Assume there will be people looking to offload at that point.

The G1 Galvy version reminds me of my childhood soooo much. All those figures I could never get.

Purple Galvatron for the win. The M version looks classier, but I want him just like he appeared in S3.

I liked the M-version better too. It just clicks.
Gargamel
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Just bought the M version. The regular version was not available aside from in this thread, but I do think I prefer the M version.
We'll see if I'm right. I'm also on the fence as to whether he's worth it seeing that I already own Tyrant. But consensus seems to be that it is.

@4249david will know, he applied it before I bought it off him
Blue Prime
If I may ask, what’s the insignia you’re using?
Doom Slayer
This is the face I imagine Dr. Claw pulls when he shouts "I'll get you next time Gadget, next time!"
Which is ironic since both characters are voiced by Frank Welker!
