I should get a frame for my G2 comic #1 and put it on the wall...

Yeah, kinda the same. I'd like the soundbox withut the electronics, that can fit on the trailer and Prime's back. G2 was the first time I had a regular Optimus Prime toy, so I'd love to be able to have that trailer recreated as much as possible.
I want bandoliers and ammobelts crisscrossing the trailer, spiky tires and the taillights and rear bumper to be shaped like a Ninja Turtle grimace.
Is there a way to make Roller and the drone look constipated and/or angry?

Dude, the hug did roller do to you to want that?!?!
Nothing personal. That’s just the 90’s.

It's the 90s, everyone was doing it.
They saw what was coming in the next couple of decades.

I ended up ordering the trailer stripe and the interior decals. We'll see how it goes. Haven't ordered stickers since I learned to paint.
*yawn* Do we really need another run of Galvatron? Frankly, the only thing exciting here is Hatchet.
That’s how I feel about Galvatron (and others). I’m glad they are improving previous versions, but what am I gonna do with 2 Metalhawk? 3 (4 if you count toy version) Galvatron? 2 Springers, 3? Astrotrains. At least if they were redecos as a new character you can kind of justify it. I’d rather them take the time the first time around to get it right. I’m sure it’s cheaper to reuse an existing mold and increase the paint quality, but cmon. It’s getting old.
Yeah, it's a passable Galvatron but I still believe that he can be done much better. Plus, that mold has gotten a workout. I don't recall each of the permutations, but I know that it was available in two of the main lines and at least twice in the specialty, "Selects/What-have-you" lines (toy deco, translucent deco). It is not bad, it's just that if I am going to plunk down hot, stinky cash for another Galvatron, it's going to have to be an all new design.
I feel like the Galvy fatigue would be lessened if they didn't release him in Legacy right after Kingdom. Which wouldn't have had to happen if they had learnt their lesson from Siege and not slathered the Kingdom version with battle damage.
I'm a toy deco enjoyer myself, but I have to admit that this SS '86's blurple is more appealing than the shade used on thr Kingdom/Legacy release. I'd need to see clearer pics of it, but I could see biting on this one if the deco is nice enough.

I'll be glad to finally get Hatchet. I'm kind of either/or on ROTB Scorponok and Double Punch. Although I will say I wish Double Punch were more in the Botcon Japan colors with the dark blood red base. Although sure, I'd prefer that on Kingdom Scorponok anyway. This is just a bit... boring.
Galvatron is more than a little disappointing, but I hope that means all the new tooling cash went to Megatron. For whatever that turns out to be. So I hope that's worth it, because this is meh. At least retool the head? And i'm starting to really resent those dumb Revenge guns.
I might be tempted to get this if it ends up being more blue than red as this suggests. But I probably won't rush to get one.

As everyone else has said, this Galvatron is definitely the colors I wish it had been released in the first time, but there's no way I'm paying leader prices for it. If it gathers dust long enough to go on deep clearance, I'd pick one up to swap out with my current Kingdom one (though I may keep the translucent barrel, I do prefer that to the opaque).
I've got the Selects toy colors one to try that with, but otherwise, same.
I still haven't bought that Galvatron mold. Gonna have to see it in person before I decide if I pull the trigger on this one.
Hatchet is neat, but I'm so tired of the greebly aesthetic that I'll wait for reviews.

Hatchet looks like a turtle, and it's the only one I'm seriously considering. Not impressed at all with this wave.
