Via Chefatron Review on Youtube, we have our first in-hand images of the upcoming Transformers Generations Selects War for Cybertron Voyager Galvatron.
This a nice redeco of Kingdom Leader Galvatron done up in his original G1 toy colors. The images let us see that, besides the new deco, Generations Selects Galvatron features a “sparky” orange plastic cannon, a green Matrix Of Leadership with chain, and it seems it comes with the correctly assembled shoulders compared to the first Kingdom Galvatron toys out in the market. While this was not shown in the images,our first stock images and information indicate that this figure will also include a G1-Toy inspired sheet of foil labels, including a heat-sensitive sticker.
Pre-orders for this figure are already live via our sponsors links below, so secure your copy before it’s gone! (scheduled for October 2021).

I ended up painting mine as well with the same paint. looks good

They probably wanted the pointy bits to be nylon or whatever more-flexible but unpaintable plastic, but there was only gonna be one sprue of that material, meaning it would all be that color.
Also, I did paint the crown, using Testor’s Flat Light Aircraft Grey spraypaint based on what David Willis did with his. It wasn’t a 100% match, but it certainly did the job. I later on got a custom, more Geoff Senior-styled head for it so I’d need to dig out my original for pictures.

I can't believe that, when deciding on the part layouts, Hasbro decided the crown pieces shoulda been on two different sprues…

I still can’t believe no one did it.. to me, it seemed like a no-brained for DNA when they did their set…

That's the main reason I didn't buy this. The crown shape is just as important to my nostalgia of the toy as the colors are. (talking about the simple full circular Rook crown design)

Purple crown looks better, imo. Color break up can help a look out.
jamarmiller
yep I was shocked to see it never came about.

As long as this thread is bumped, I find it really strange that I never saw anyone make a grey crown piece to replace the purple one for better comic/toy accuracy

Anyone else ended up with the leg rotation mushroom becoming so insanely tight that I feared that it would break (one side so bad that I could barely rotate it, while that the other was a bit better but still scary). We're talking that I'd have gaps opening on the thigh parts as it would push open against the screw as I tried turning it (and it wouldn't).
I tried to disassemble but ended up finding that parts are glued and pinned in a way that it wasn't happening.
But that said, I did eventually managed to get it moving a bit (bit by bit) and then put a few drops of silicon oil (plastic safe) and work it until it finally could move again in a non-scary way. The oil is what really saved the situation.

….. I thought it was Dreamwave Thundering, he he's really cool.

What’s wrong with Thunderwing? Marvel Thunderwing was a Matrix bearer, not IDW.

Too bad it’s an IDW Thunderwing.

That thunderwing looks sick what company made it?

An idea for everyone on what to do with this Matrix

One question: why did they feel the need to include a separate gun when it comes with a cannon half as tall as the figure??? They sure gave you your money's worth back in the day… now they increase the price and cut features / accessories…

Update: cats aren't into the sounds, but after sniffing the toy they just ignore it. Also, holy crap is it LOUD when a fresh battery is in it!
