My brain is having issues dealing with the fact that galvatron is nothing to do with megatron... As far as i can tell he is a transformer from before the events of megatron origin serving some big evil thing from a dead universe... Thats all well and good, but its not megatron in sexy pants, which is what galvatron is supposed to be...

i didn't like how it tried to stay in continuity with the inflitration and escalation books i agree. i mean it clearly has him as the herald of unicron, but why or how could that be if he was not megatron before, kinda dumb

I suppose it means we can have a megs vs galv fight without having to mess about with time travel or parallel universes or some such rubbish.

Galvy's actually meant to be the con equivalent of Ultra Magnus- he was originally intended as a city commander, supposedly.

I never understood why they never made ultra magnus out to be a powered up optimus prime, seeing as how the toys were so similar, especially with the whole white truck thing. Galvatrons always been a completely different design to megs, it would make more sense that they werent related.

Actually, Furman and Ryall have stated numerous times in various different interviews that there will be NO UNICRON...and then there was thunderous applause.  So, while Galvatron does seem to have a boss, it certainly won't be Unicron.

Here's a quote: While Galvatron's appearance usually coincides with that of the evil destroyer of worlds known as Unicron, Furman revealed, "I've said it before and I'll say it again. No Unicron. Not on my watch." (source: CBR Interview, March 2007)

Maybe the evil darkness is actually wheelie. It seems obvious, after all the years of hatred he finally wants revenge.

Ah, yet Wheelie's in charge of making sure Kup doesn't die in IDW, according to the Prime spotlight.

I think it might be the Qunitesson its about time they make an appearance.

or it could be someone like The Fallen being introduced into the IDW world.

the one thing i always hated about Unicron and his heralds is its far too similar to Fantastic Four and Galaxtus with him and his heralds its a copycat thing shame they could not have come up with something new.

I remembered the "No Unicron" thing, so when I was reading, it just got me more intrigued. I think it was supposed to make casual readers think it was going to be Unicron, and the hardcore fans like us wonder who it cound be if its not Unicron. It did seem to imply one boss, which rules out the Quintessons (unless they change the concept of Alpha Quintesson).

Oh i really never liked the quints, they just seemed way too gimmicky. And they didnt transform, which didnt fit in my head right.

*Poke* Stop double posting! Use the edit button. 

I think Galvy was fine, really. It was the Blockyness of the other robots I disliked more.

Which would also match his original title on his Tech Spec from 1986.

Its all gravy.

Is this out already?

Bloody hell, comics come out too quickly for me to keep track of. Last thing I picked up was Target 2006 part 3, am I just missing TFs vs Avengers and the Galvy & Megs Spotlights?

 I want it to be the Liege Maximo. It won't be since Galv hasn't been involved with the character and the Liege did sort of die but since he only ever appeared what, once? I want him to appear again. Plus he makes for a big change to the usual Unicron stuff.
