Takara Tomy Mall Website has uploaded the respective Web Manga/Comic for their new Takara Tomy Mall Exclusive LG-EX Repug & Grotes (Repugnus & Grotusque).
We have a long 12-page manga/comic this time. This story, Japanese text only at the moment, brings a great load of Transformers lore from all eras. We can spot characters from Beast Wars (both American and Japanese shows), Beeastformers (known outside Japan as Battle Beasts), Galvatron (G1 toy colors) and an army of G2 Characters including the Cyberjets, Laser Rods and Laser Cycles.
The story concludes with the introduction of the Prime Masters, who come to save the day acting as new heads for the Monsterbots bodies.
You can read or download a pdf file of this manga here, or alternatively you can check all the mirrored images attached to this news post after the jump.

Coincidentally, Galvatron II hates that name too.

I’m not denying that. I’m objecting to the name marking him as the second Galvatron.

Again, I just want an updated toy representation of Galvatron II… The TR one has yet to be repainted or remolded, so it’s an easy target. Heck, even 3P haven’t done a toy colored Galvatron yet…
Markdelg
I’m not denying their existence. I’m saying that in this instance, any “other” Galvatrons are irrelevant, because the Legends manga specifically shows that Galvatron II is the same guy from Rhythms of Darkness.

Even if you’ve never read the other comics, they still exist.
Markdelg
Beats me. I’ve never read the comics, so I guess you can call them whatever you want. I only care about Galvatron II.

galvatron A, B, and C because they're too good for numbers?
Bass X0
There were two or three different Galvatrons between the first and Rhythms of Darkness. What do we call the others? Galvatron 1.25, Galvatron 1.5 and Galvatron 1.75?

I never read he UK comics (except a few) until after the runs were over. I just called him Galvatron. It was Takara who dubbed him Galvatron II, not me.
Edit: upon research, Furman first called him that in Alignment, but Takara used it first on a toy. And second.
Markdelg
Because this new Legends manga specifically references that Galvatron II is from "Rhythms of Darkness?"
Bass X0
Don’t know why people still insist on calling Rhythms of Darkness Galvatron “Galvatron II” when he’s not even the second Galvatron to appear in the Marvel comics. He’s actually like the fourth or fifth I think it was, going by the UK comics as well.

So where is the pack in comic?

What the hell is that eyeball alien ship??

That TR Galvatron mold has to be repainted into SOMEthing! Fingers crossed..
Digger
Sure. I’d be down.

I just checked their wiki page. Doesn’t seem to give a source. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was sakamoto. The legend.
marvel b
we need this botanica officially! NEED IT!!! BOTANICA!!!! LOVE IT!!!
i also like how airazor is in a business suit in the first pic. seeing White Lune in a dress is neat, and that scene with all the beast prime together makes me want the mammoth now since i just got the leo convoy one recently.
SG Roadbuster
Can't be a coincidence. Wasn't it Sakamoto, or someone else from Takara that shared that pic in the first place?
