Again.
I think we now have enough different Galvatron's for a multi-Galvatron story.
Plus, it's the Grimlock Vs Octopunch fight you've been gagging for, and Scorponok tries to stop a coalition of chaos.
All in my look at ISSUE 260!

Galvatron is back! Again. I think we now have enough different Galvatron's for a multi-Galvatron story. Plus, it's the Grimlock Vs Octopunch fight you've been gagging for, and Scorponok tries to stop a coalition of chaos. All in my look at ISSUE 260!

I always assume that the Perchance Galvatron is the same one as the weird Post-Time Wars future one (the Aspects of Evil / Shadow of Evil timeline).

Actually Silverbolt WAS a chess piece on the board...I have a full life.

Yeah, in-fiction, Jazz was still a classic Pretender and Inferno was out and about with the Survivors, hence those two being the only two Classic Hero cars who were exempt from this story. (Tracks was part of the second wave, I think?)

Blaster may have stated otherwise, and the dates within issues may contradict me, but in my head cannon (and I have a feeling in Furman's intentions), there are only two Galvatrons: the one from the animated movie who first comes back in Target: 2006 and gets destroyed in Time Wars; and the second who first appears in Aspects of Evil, takes over the earth in Rhythms of Darkness, and tries to round up a crew on the Ark here in Perchance... You have to squint a hell of a lot to make it work (as with all of Earthforce) but it just seems simpler and neater to me.

If we ignore 'Perchance' for a second, then we have at least three Galvatrons that we know of...

Sorry, forgot to mention... 6/5/2017 11:51:44 pm
To add to the problem, if Perchance is in an alternate timeline to Eye of the Storm onwards then can this be the same Galvatron even if they are both from the Rhythms of Darkness era? Or are they two temporal variants? Or could this even be an example of "Galvatron II" dimension hopping?

I've always taken the view that Earthforce is another alternate timeline. The divergence point is that, when post-Primal-Scream Unicron plucks Galvatron from the future, he picks the one you've labelled Galvatron 3 instead of Galvatron 2. Also, he then takes a bit longer to get to Cybertron. In this timeline, the events of the US stories continue almost unaltered until the US story Surrender. 7/5/2017 12:05:40 am
From memory the poster primarily reproduced the six AtoZ images.

Young Ralph was also deeply unimpressed that the mighty Galvatron was now reduced to a conedy character easily dispatched in 5 pages. This was when I started to really lose patience with the black and white era, sadly.

I pick #4 ...none of the above.

I take the Grant Morrison on Batman view that all Marvel TF continuity is true, and any inconsistencies are just mistakes the dumb stubbies made in transcribing these 'true tales'. So I squint at Earthforce and the US run and imagine the Decepticon civil war lasted longer, or that the Rhythms Galvatron arrived a little earlier than Eye of the Storm, and woke everyone up in Perchance on his way to Cybertron.

Those of us who imprinted primarily on the cartoon version of “Transformers” had mixed feelings about the Primus origin. On the one hand it was a bit more dignified than the wormy little guy with the Napoleon complex building Unicron to conquer the universe in “Call of the Primitives,” and it gave us an actual explanation of where the Matrix came from and why it would have any effect on Unicron. On the other hand, escalating the origins of the Transformers from something tangible like the Quintessons to a lofty, almost Norse-god-like mythology seemed like a cheap cop-out, a trite and obvious way of adding scope and grandeur. That’s at the time, though. Today I don’t feel as strongly about it. Both origins are fine, as long as they stay in the pre-July-1991 world where they belong and nobody tries to elaborate on them in subsequent “Transformers” media. ;-)
