Template:Transformers character Galvatron is a fictional character from the Transformers series. He is a heroic mirror image of Galvatron from the Generation 1.

Shattered Glass

After nearly being killed in an assassination attempt Megatron was rebuilt by Nexus Prime into Galvatron.

Fictional biography

After his brush with death and subsequent rebirth, Galvatron became an even wiser and more compassionate leader of the heroic Decepticons. He uses his new powers and alternate form to manage his battles against Prime's forces on both Cybertron and Earth. His chemical laser cannons have a range of two miles and his hook-and-grapple is supported by a nigh unbreakable destronium tether. It has been a full solar cycle since Nexus Prime and Aquarius left Cybertron for parts unknown, and the Stellar Spanner built by Alpha Trion subsequently destroyed. However, some strange energy readings coming from inside Iacon seems to indicate the technology may be in use once again...

Development

In initial concepts for Shattered Glass Galvatron he was colored blue inspired by Dai Atlas, but the final release was purple.

Galvatron in "Memory's Splinter"

Arriving at Decepticon City, Galvatron leapt into the fray and hunted down Optimus Prime for a one-on-one duel. During their conflict, the treacherous Rodimus jumped in between the combatants, ostensibly to claim the credit for taking down the weakened Galvatron. In fact, he dropped a blaster in easy reach of the Decepticon leader, so that when Optimus ordered him out of the way, Galvatron was armed to destroy Prime.

Galvatron appeared in Another Light where he commanded a shuttle when Gaia teleported the humans and human shaped Pretenders from Classicverse Earth. The shuttles were attacked by Shattered Glass Primus, but survived. Galvatron was later made part of the governing council of New Cybertron.

Transformers: Mosaic

Both Megatron and Galvatron appear as separate characters in the Transformers Mosaic story "I Will Be God" by Wout Jut. Galvatron is depicted as being evil and the brother of Optimus Prime.
