Transformers - Galvatron Treatment 

Well, Megatron was also a raving lunatic, but he actually put a little thought into his schemes. Lol

I hear dying and coming back to life in a new body can cause some psychological damage

That plasma bath didn’t do his brain any favors

@@genericrandomness3455 Not to mention, he was the victim of multiple mental assaults done by what is essentially the robot version of Lucifer before the events of Season 3. Anyone who had to deal with those isn’t going to walk away with much, if any of their sanity.

If you think this is bad, the Marvel version had them swapped and Megatron was even worse

An army ruled by a mentally unstable leader would not be effective

At least Cyclonus was nice enough to stick with him through treatment. Unlike a certain Starscream would have

Preston Giles+ the deceptions would been better off with starsscream at least he would have strategies granted it would been a failed strategies but he wouldn't be leading his army to certain doom

@@georgebrice8329 I don't think u know what the word "better" means.

@Hungry Shark+ yes I do dummy

Lmaoooooooooo so true

Amen to that.

He seemed kind of sane after Optimus opened the Matrix to destroy the Hate Plague. "There will be no war today Optimus Prime. You have earned Galvatron's respect."

@@ElFino013 Probably because his insanity was similar to the Hate Plague.

Step 2: KILL HIM! which the Autobots should've done a long time ago instead of giving him chances after chances to reform.

It must have been disabled somehow.

Well he is crazy

They really never took his arm cannon 😂

@@DogFoxHybrid they used inhibitor rays to disable it.

"The subject suffers from distinct failure of reality processing."

so, Galvatron is basically Putin?

And Megatron is straight up almost weak.Like he's now nerfed.

That's why this was the last season of the original G1 before they handed it to the Japanese to continue with Headmasters which feels like a completely different continuity despite still using the exact same G1 designs and animation

@@justnoel4088 Yeah, Headmasters is nothing like US G1. For starters there's a much heavier emphesis on portraying the Autobots as a military unit, like basically every Mecha anime ever from Gundam to Macross to Space Battleship Yamato.

@@dexter1981more like Trump.

Not really both liked to brag both had big dreams of conquering the universe both had insane plans of driving earth and cybertron to the sun both like to beat their second in commands

Galvs even said that in an old UK annual when they met Galvs said I can't believe I came from this idiot

Megatron has a reminder to abuse starscream that’s a real thing trust me.

I believe that Galvatron IS Megatron, but his personality is corrupted by Unicron’s slave program. Unlike Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps, Unicron allowed for Megatron to retain a full sense of his former self. This act, along with Unicron’s destruction led to a cascading effect that unraveled and corrupted Galvatron’s psyche. It’s likely that the corruption was purged when Galvatron was reformatted into Action Master Megatron.

@@mikejenkinsreviews What happened, if I recall, is that Rodimus Prime flung Galvatron so far into a lava-like plasma pool, and I quote "the plasma had seeped into Galvatron's head casing and the heat had permanently damaged his "metaprocessor" " That's why, in the series, there are moments where Galvatron's brain "sparks" in animation briefly, and he returns to briefly forming cunning plans like the old Megatron used to. However, this is brief and he returns to madness, often undoing his own plans due to his brutality.

Wow I never thought of that! And I grew up with this show. Nice catch!

Zeo Grand Master !!!! I feel sad for Galvatron. He goes insane

Poor Megs, he just hasn't been the same since he killed Starscream; I guess we know now why he kept him around.

@@wolfcommander12thewatching61 Starscream was "killed" by Rainbow Dash? How exactly did a pony kill him?

@@wolfcommander12thewatching61 check out Death Battle season 1

So you're the joker.

You are a sociopath killer who was forced into therapy?

@@_V.Va_ funny joker and galvatron rocking that 🟣

Why bro got out a bath and went INSANE.

@@helloiwanttootakeoverthewo3217 It was a very HOT bath and it was full of meth.

He's more like a battered wife in my opinion.

Yea you gotta remember he took starskreams place,got even so much pent up Stockholm that he killed starskreams himself when he came back.

@@hulkmeister23 So was Starscream and we saw what happened to him.

@@chrismc410 You kids must not know what a battered spouse is. Starscream kept mouthing off and was killed; Cyclonus, just takes it.

@@hulkmeister23 why else would Megatron put up with him for so long if they weren't in some kind of relationship or vice versa? One would have killed the other a long time ago otherwise. Both would be battered spouses from that perspective.

30years later USA still can't get it.

Tiger Tank Gaming lol seems like that

Another question would be where the ammo for that thing came from. Those pieces were not supposed to do that.

Meanwhile he has a damn cannon attached to his arm lol (typo wth is a connon lmao)

@@almightytowerdiveking4636 ikr... lmao... thanx that made my day haha

I kinda see this episode as a jab or poke of mental health problems and society tending of trying to put a bandaid solution over these kinds of things. I know....I was one of those 90s kids they shoved Ritalin and other meds into =_=.

(Galva shows me a bug) (Me) PRIMUS HELP ME!!!

LOL! Takes me back to my childhood.

Slimer after getting high on Meth!!! ⚗️💉

Lol... so true... but one of my favorite episodes ever

"Stop it, stop that hideous noise!"😁

@@vivimariefedorov7374 -That's fucking hilarious!!!

Amen to that! Very unique story telling.

It's also my response to raging squeakers online. :P

XD

I am going to have to agree about the screaming child scenerio.

@@cpugalvaheart5250 Best line he ever said lol.

Quit scaring people's kids!! XD

😂😂😂

That's a good one, my compliments. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

XD

Cyclonus: better? Megatron: better

What you do oo oo for a Klondike bar?

Good points, but he was shot with an "inhibitor". Perhaps it disabled his big cannon ;) Or perhaps he was low on energy to keep him under control :)

Why did they even GIVE him pieces that could be assembled into a gun???

I don't think they're too familiar with treating artificial lifeforms in that establishment: seems like he's the only robot.

Cybertronian sized organics with the tecnology to immobolize a cybertronian with a shot or two. We needed more stories about them.

His G1 toy has a gun so why not?

N u t

🔩🎱

He's a Payday candy bar.

Where do you think the other Galvatrons get their insanity from?

Galvatron' maybe crazy. But ide take him over Megatron.

I'll also give it points for actually agreeing that Galvatron was a legit insane person and that it wasn't just a character quirk

Amen

Laclan Taylor-How so? ' Carnage in C Minor was one of the worst.

Better than Starscreams brigade?!

Mine too

Starscream's Ghost was my favorite from season 3....Octane became one of my favorite Decepticons after watching that episode.

You want to scream!?!?!! I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO SCREAM ABOUT!!!!!!

Galvatron: "AND I WILL RUUULE THE GALAXAAAEEEEYYY!" Lord Zerak: "Whooo will ruuuule the galaxeeeeh?" Galvatron: "MEEEEE IT IS MY DESTINNYYYY!"

Maybe the pile of parts wasn’t supposed to form a gun, but Galvatron probably somehow knew how to make a gun out of it. I know I’m late.

@@TheRisingStorm316 i have a theory. Because Galvatron has a cannon mode,used to transform into a handgun when he was Megatron and has a cannon on his arm, he is able to charge up particles and materials in a manner organic beings and possibly other cybertronians cannot, as such he didn’t need to make an actual ray gun, he just had to make something he could super-charge until it fired. Also it’s possible the reason he can do this but not fire his fusion cannon is because the organics disabled it manually, which would explain why they didn’t remove it.

What really!?!

STONE WOLF 05 bahaha!

That and once Unicron was destroyed it probably fried his brain even more.

F

Those and him soaking in plasma for a year must have done something too

The series on Netflix suggests he was enslaved to unicron. Optimus becomes a slave as well. Nemesis prime. Thats why we dont see him in beast wars.

Then Kiss Players happened.

Lol

Oh that is brilliant!

Nolan Ryan ?

When I first saw the episode, I thought he said, "Friend! Mango! Distaught!" Instead of Rend Mangle Distort. But it's weirdly in character for him to say that

It was more than that. He got tossed thru Unicron, cracking his head open. That, plus the plasma bath = Bat poop crazy Galvatron.

He was messed up during the movie when Unicron kept mind torturing him.

Not really. He was hurt by it, sure, but his personality remained unchanged in the movie. It was only after crashing thru Unicron and landing in that plasma pool that he went nuts

Or because the writers just didn't care and said "Screw it. Let's just make him mentally unstable instead of making him an intelligent and competent villain."

After the destruction of unicron, the linked minds between them (unicron and galvatron) had been severed, thus galvatron's mental instability. Unicron was aware of his every moveand often caused galvatron intense mental punishment to maintain his obedience.

CapMar-Vell92 Returns I agree, but I still need to watch it ;)

Stories were more then just the decepticons finding a new energy source. Stories were better than s1 &2 imo

@@alphatrion100 Unfortunately you're right. I loved S1 and 2 but S3 is so enticing

@@lelouchvibritannia7809 Too bad the animation in S3 was mostly garbage.

@@IrishmanGFS yeah but S3 has something the other 2 lack

I''ve said the same thing too.

True, but Galvatron's personality seemed a bit different even before falling into the lava pit. Megatron was a master strategist who always waited for the right moment to strike, while Galvatron seemed to just charge right into battle. Megatron tolerated Starscream's treachery because he recognized his usefulness, whereas Galvatron didn't care if Starscream was useful and so he killed him for his earlier betrayal.

A Rodimus star for you ....

Megatron also has his bouts with insanity. But Galvatron cranks it up several notches and being Unicron's bitch did not help.

Galvatron lost his mind eversince he was Megatron...his nerves were badly damange due to the bad fall when he fought with Optimus Prime...Even Unicron manage to reformat his body but he cant repair the internal damages

"You have no right to change what I am !" - Galvatron ! ;) =D

But what you have is dangerous.--stupid giant ape doctor

i just assume they neutralized all his build in weapons with some sci-fi nonsense

Galvatron cares about the really important things in life.😁😁😁

Yeah very cool idea. Would have been cool if that happened when those insects invaded/penetrated his mind and connected it to the planet ! Or other the planet entering it's mind and then indeed we would hear a reminent of megatron's voice perhaps somewhat distorted/vague like we hear our own voice inside our mind /head! ;) :)

Every so often you could hear a little of Megatron when Galvatron was being a little less...shrill. I always liked this episodes and even though it wasn't a total success, Galvatron was partially cured by the end

He was?

+JAS PITT so that's why he tried to destroy Cybertron by moving it to the sun I. rebirth yeah that's so cured

He was cured the only thing that remained mangled was his voice . The plan was to be a final solution, and he was influenced by vector sigma to carry it out. Even Megatron knows not to doubt Vector Sigma, even though he was a pawn in the end.

I think he knew who he used to be everybody knew cept cyclonus and scourge since they were created after galvatron

"I AM YOUR DESTRUCTION!"

+Sergeant Sunflower I feel like that about the radio at the moment, they just won't play my favourite song!

I repeat this mantra when I exterminate bugs in my house.

And let's not start on the other fandoms that are out of control...

I would never bring up the Sonic fandom because unlike the ones I've mentioned, they're not everywhere I go, and I respect them for that.

Mf would make Galvatron crazier by supporting him.

+kstanni87 SS was in the crypt. They did not know his ghost was still around. They also did not know Galvatron was mad, either. It was Cyclonus' blind loyalty to Galva, that they were trying to find him. Remember the 5 part 5 faces of darkness?

+kstanni87 Exactly. Season 3 Galvatron is every bit the bumbling dolt that Starscream was. He is one of the reasons why I couldn't stomach Season 3 (The others being the whiney Autobot leader that we were asked to 'relate' to, and the shit animation from AKOM).

The show was unfortunately cancelled just as both Optimus Prime returned and Galvatron gained shades of his saner Megatron self. Not to mention Starscream being fully alive again and not returning afterwards.

And yet for all his instability he was the strongest of them all and after he regained his sanity was just a step away from finishing the war with the decepticons victorious.

When did he regain his sanity?

Oh, that'll be greaaaat. >:)

He does in the comics.

Optimus would build a jetpack.. he *always* builds jetpacks....

Oh really? *I slaughtered three alternate versions of Optimus Prime and every one of the Shattered Glass Autobots with my bare hands, all in ONE DAY.*

The show jumped the shark when they had Galvatron return.

What about the episode with the hypnotic dance club?

+Felix Brown: The show jumped the shark the moment season 3 started, with Optimus Prime replaced with the whiny Rodimus, and Megatron replaced with...this. Not much of a foundation to work with. Plus, many of the characters from the first 2 seasons were either killed in the movie of simply disappeared, replaced with new product that we are asked to care about.

Many people assume that Galvatron was the problem the season was bad. It was not, unlike vocal opinion there are many people who find Galvatron in his mad state to have been a better character than the saturday cartoon villain that was Megatron. On the Rodimous comment I have your back 100%. The actual problem that the show lost its feel and tanked was that it became star wars. They were cramping alien races, other planets, and a shit ton of new characters with completely 'alien' characteristics to what it was already an earth bound foundation. That is what made the show to tank. You could hardly explain what you were seeing anymore and WTF is that thing this char transforms to.

John Paul While we have to agree to disagree with the first paragraph, the second one is ON POINT. In fact, if you break it down, The Transformers The Movie was the Transformers version of Star Wars. People talk about how Starchaser: Legend of Orin bit Star Wars hard, but TtM really took a shark-sized bite out of it. (Unicron=Death Star, Hot Rod/imus=Luke, Arcee=Leia, Mega/Galvatron=Anakin/Vader, "May The Force Be With You"="Til All Are One"...I could go on for hours!)

Classic.

pretty subtle for G1 LOL

We don't talk about...'That'...Event...

​@@murilopenagoncalves3831 I mean, it's probably what drove the Japanese Galvatron bonkers.

@@theultimatememelord5494 Galvatron became insane. Hot Rod got depression. I kinda like some parts of Kiss Players (please don't judge), but one should be careful when treading there.

It all started… WHEN I WAS BORN.

@Dauda András whatever you say

Honestly, if he did die, I would be SO upset. If he turned back into Megatron, I'd be like, OH COOL!

@@frozarburst6350 So, Super Megatron/Megatron 2.0

Actually makes me wonder how many ridiculous lines can Nimoy say as Galvatron while still sounding like a badass.

@@Blahblahblah28504 all of them ;)

That was Unicron though, not Galvatron..

A Diamond ? Leonard Nimoy voiced Galvatron. You’re thinking of Orson Welles.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

@@jasapotato8362 This Galvs exemplifies "Sanity is for the weak!" "Enemies? We need enemies!" "We are the Destroyer!"

OMG I just got it, he reconstructed his damaged psyche the gun mode

Yup..

@@a_diamond hey its wR optimus and megs knew the risks

You're Not Wrong 😁
