You know, to mimic the arm cannon. Plus, instead of blowing bots to smithereens, it SAVES them, so there's the versimilitude there. Was going to sell mine, but now I'm seriously reconsidering doing the same thing as you. (Except that I've already got Classics and that 3pack Galvatron as Galvatron I and II, mind. Not sure how to reconcile adding a third Galvatron to the mix yet) I’m kinda surprised they didn’t do Galvatron’s winch up in bright orange, though.

The TFCC always gives their toys a nice paint job. The same goes for the GIJoeCC. While Galvatron should have come with his own weapon, it’s still quite a good looking toy.

But while scouring ebay, I realized it's more cost effective to buy TC with Galvatron than by himself, so now I'm gonna be copying Willis here and using this nicely-sized Galvatron with Cyclonus and Scourge. You served me well Energon Galvatron, but it's time to retire your big ass, and for a more poseable toy to boot.

Duncan could have very easily been denied twice. BTW: East coast sucks for toy distribution. Amazing that a person can live a few miles from the freakin' Hasbro corporate office and still never be able to find Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, Optimus, Bumblebee, Thundercracker, Jazz, Warpath, Wheeljack, Windcharger, Grapple and others.

If he was told it was from Takara, maybe. I don’t think Duncan would be after Action Master Thundercracker. If he was told it was from Takara, maybe.
