galvs are you ok you keep getting possessed outta nowhere

You too can possess GALVATRON! Inspired by my appearance in the REALM OF THE PRIMES, my latest figure is unveiled just in time for the holiday season. Coming to your universe very soon.

lord galvatron, what is it like to have realized that for all the fragments that now make up “you” (to use that term loosely) there is always an optimus and he’s always won? there are no implications in this question—i’m not insinuating that you’ll lose this time. i’m only curious. it’s an interesting angle to have to play at

Even when I lose, I ensure that Optimus cannot savor his victory. How many of his soldiers have I laid low? How many humans has he failed to save? How often have I forced him to compromise his principles, to throw aside his high minded ideals and become the very monster he abhors to finally put me down for good? I may very well lose—I may very well die—but in doing so I will force Optimus to shred his own spark, and drag him down with me into the depths of hell.

And I come back. I always come back. The show must go on…

Well, someone is having an identity crisis. You good, bro?

PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY: Clip and save ROBOT POINTS. I am Galvatron and only I have the ROBOT POINTS to crush the Autobots!

Dear Galvatron, what's your story before the Great War?

A tiny race of power-boosting beings… born on a slab, a living weapon created to besiege… a golden disk, shimmering with the secrets of a bygone age… a tarnished age of pointless theatrics and state games, forced to debase myself before some rusted relic… double punch refuses to see what i see, maximal versus predacon versus builder versus… the autobots, whose decadent lives are supported by our sacrifices, labouring below to make their world possible… possible… all things are possible through my will, reshaping cybertron itself to smother stars… infinite power denied to my kind, given over to a race of mewling infants with power to change like we never will, trapped by… the functionist council, always the council, never allowing us to move towards peace, forever crushing… the thetacons, so many dead and dying, so much pointless slaughter, a fallen god, whispering his poison into my audio receptors… poison… poison in my veins, in my spark, the roar of the crowds, no longer d-16, no longer megatronus, becoming dark, energon dark, crushing darkness, dark as… a cybertron burning under the weight of optimus prime, heroic rebels scattered to the winds, a tyrant triumphant, freedom crushed… crushed like megazarak’s head beneath my the heel of my boot, deceptions, rise up… ascend… ascenticons, determined to heal a world scarred by a threefold spark termagax i will not fail you azimuth you failed me i have failed myself born and reborn not megatron never megatron always galvatron reborn as galvatron died as galvatron megatron gigatron teratron exatron magmatron d-16 megatronus galavar galavratron galvatron ii gnashteeth beast megatron emperor of destruction galvatron iii rebirth megatron master megatron final megatron-

GRAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Galvatron, which enemy of yours has been the most challenging or impressive in battle?

As vexing as combating Vector Prime has been, nothing compares to my centuries of battle against Optimus Prime. More than anyone else, he has challenged and tested my might, and I suspect that I will be faced by him again even after my ascension into godhood! In fighting me, returning from the dead, and using ever-more-powerful combinations, his ascension has mirrored my own! Why, I would not be the conqueror and tyrant I am today without Optimus Prime—and as much as he would be loath to admit it, he would not be who he is without me. Our cosmic dance has waged across the stars for centuries, and if I can never be satisfied without new frontiers to conquer, I know he can never be at peace without some version of me to face, either.

That will make finally snuffing his spark out, and bringing it all to an end, all the sweeter.

sorry if this is mean but could you pleeeaaasee change your paintjob? its very...not good looking

The last Cybertronian who had the gall to criticize my taste in paintjobs currently occupies six junkyards on three separate planets. Let this be a warning to you.

Dear, Vector Prime.

How can I make Cybertronian food?

Get on.
