It was only a limited number of the first run that were wrong, not all of them, mostly just the earliest batches that shipped and were quickly corrected within that wave. Legacy was the clean one, but that doesn't necessarily mean the previous one was "wrong", it was following the theme of the line at the time.

Kingdom Galvatron had the paint damage, and just the first run of that toy had the shoulders swapped. Later runs of Kingdom Galvatron had the shoulders fixed, but you couldn't tell looking at the box since it was windowless. Then Legacy Galvatron came along with corrected shoulders and no battle damage (and so many clogging the shelves that they still won't go away two years later). Earthrise was before Kingdom.Gauntlet101010 wrote:Emerje wrote:Gauntlet101010 wrote:Galvatron is another example. Misassembled V1 followed by a correct V2 and a clean ER version.

Did it, though? How many other of those toys have battle damage? It wasn't Siege after all.
Anyway, they gotta do better. No QC BS. No paint BS. Make a solid figure. The first time.

2023 - Ultra Magnus
2024 - Optimus Prime
2025 - Rodimus Prime ??

They are:
Tra Gen Studio series Ldr 86 Galvatron
Product Number: G0481
Tra Gen Studio series Ldr 86 Megatron
Product Number: G0484
We do not know if Galvatron is a new mold or a redeco of the previous leader release.
For what it's worth, I agree with chuckdawg, the SS86 line will be finished in '26. We only have so many characters left to do (ASTROTRAIN!!!) and the live action films still have plenty to go.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Which is a sad thought, yet another year to wait to see what they could do with a live action commander

Rumor is the missing 2 Constructicons are the missing commander slot, and they will come with all the accessories ala Legacy Menasor, where there is a lot of faking it for cartoon accuracy.

Look at it on the bright side, if it's such: the engineering capabilities will improve even in 2 years, so the coming Bayverse SS figures we could have this year and next will only look and function that much better in another 2 years. I understand that it's probably small consolation.
As for the SS CC figure, who would it be?

Then again, collectively right now we know next to nothing about the figure other than the fact it is just planned. I hope just maybe, it won't be a redeco of the Earthrise mold because I was left a bit disappointed with the figure when I got it.
I am admittedly a bit fatigued with the WFC mold, it's not bad, but I have seen it repurposed a few times with like the Miner Megatron (which I still need) and think is the best-repurposed version of it. Shattered Glass Generations just is...yeah for me though... Oof
I am guessing they're going to keep going with that mold due to consistency reasons and that's fine. I just hope some improvements are made to it. One of the things I didn't like about the Siege/Earthrise version though is how they did the cannon piece for it and how it connects into two weapons for him. I kinda wish they'd just make the barrel extend or set it up so he's got his turret on his back that it connects to as a barrel extension of some kind to make the turret complete that way. It would make it a bit closer to the animation model at least.
I look forward to seeing new pics when they come out.
As for Galavatron, I feel like the WFC Kingdom mold is decent enough, just annoyed about the shoulder thing as everyone pointed out. One of those "do it right the first time" with better quality control. We'll see how that comes out too.
I'm also still awaiting my Bumblebee Concept Megatron. Amazon delayed it until the 29th, which is ugh. Make up your bloody mind! I say. XD

They're redoing Prime and Springer. They've redone Ironhide/Ratchet, Rumble/Frenzy, Arcee (partially), and Ultra Magnus.
Plus ER Megatron was a disaster. I just don't see what they can save there. Stascream has a cape, a throne, and a few new parts to his robot mode to accommodate some poses. Just barely enough to call it a leader. Megatron could come with his lightsaber and purple gun, okay, but that's not quite enough to get anyone to pay Leader class prices.
Gauntlet101010 wrote:Galvatron. The Galvatron enthusiast in me hopes he is a new mold. Not because the current one in any way leaves me wanting, but because I just like Galvatron. I honestly can't see how they can improve him.
