The ever punctual Prime Vs Prime drops another spoiler with an in-hand preview of the Transformers War For Cybertron Reformatting Galvatron Unicron Accessory Pack that was set to debut at Hasbro Pulse Con 2021. However, now we get to see the redeco of Galvatron that is meant to represent when Unicron was reformatting Megatron into Galvatron.

Good Morning,

I've been collecting miniatures starships for years:

It's my thing, above TF collecting.  When I see something like this that's going to become rare and sell out installantly I'm excited, but also a bit concerned and a little annoyed.  While I know that some people, most people here are going to display the ships with their Unicron, I'll be putting them with my dedicated starship cabinet.  

I'd really like to get this, and if anyone has any advice or a line on where I could acquire specifically the ships (with or without the galvatron) I would like to hear about it, and it would be very appreciated.  You'd be making a fast friend.

My ship collection has a whole deciated subsection ships dedicated to the allies of Earth: Star Trek's Federation, Human Ships of Halo, Terran Ships of Starcraft (a bit of a stretch for 'allies'), Macross, Space Above and Beyond, Battlestar Galactica, and Autobots to name a few.  I even have a dedicated cabinet for Star Wars.

Examples for weird or rare things I have:

CC9800 Frigate from the Star Wars Rebellion video game, Saratoga from Space Above and Beyond, Enterprise-E Micro Machine from Star Trek, Protector from Galaxy Quest, Axalon from Beast Wars 10th anniversary Optimus Primal.

So I'm excited for this, but I'm also annoyed  at the way Hasbro has been handling these special items.

So if there's anyone out there that has any ideas, advice or even wants to trade things up I would be up for going into a business agreement.  Also, I have little desire for another Galvatron as the Kingdom one is good enough for my collection, but I would like the ships.  So I'd be cool with sharing the cost of this Galvatron multi-pack with someone just to get the ships.  

Please feel free send me a message.

Thanks for Reading

@God Sunstreaker JMO, but I think you've got a fair shot at getting this set. First of all, if you've noticed just about everything for the last year has gone on preorder without selling out, though I would not bet on it. Second, this is the 3rd version of Galvatron that prob should have been Reformatted Megatron, so I don't see it being in demand for many other than Unicron owners, as you mentioned, and hard core collectors.

I agree for the most part.  Exclusives on Hasbro Pulse have stuck around mostly.  Although the Pit of Judgement sold out so fast last year.  It wasn't until they gave later opportunities that I could acquire one.  

I also skipped the Weaponizer Drone initially because I didn't care about a Blunt repaint.  It wasn't until it was too late that I found out that it came with a bunch of accessories that i actually wanted.  I've still yet to find one of those that aren't $200.  

So I'm cautiously optimistic.  

I'm curious how things are going to shake out with the new Ravage as well.

I really wish they'd make things to order sometimes:  Like have a pre-order up for a while to make sure everyone that ones want gets one and then have some extra's. 

Sometimes life is so silly, you know.

Same here, and I am REALLY ticked off they didn't make more. Its a real bummer not to have all those accessories we should have gotten in the first place. Not gonna pay $200 for them.

IMO, the Centurion Drone was shorted on purpose to make us panic buy everything else. That's one of the only Generation Selects releases they didn't offer to other retailers. If you look at the HP site there are endless comments asking for a reissue so they know people want it bad.

Indeed. I avoid HP unless it is an exclusive because of the Drone. I give my business elsewhere. This is a case where I can count the official TF starships on one hand: the Ark, Axalon, ‘Darksyde’, Autobot shuttle. As a tf fan and a starship collector I’d be remiss if I didn’t get it. It’s just all these hoops. I have all these real life stresses that makes thinking about these plastic things is just so silly but it still gets to me. This should be fun and easy and it could be. Hasbro is making this specific item difficult on purpose. They would get so much good will if they were like: “since you were a Unicron backer, here is a free set of ships to go with it”, or “here is a link to order it early” or even “preorder temp window where selling out isn’t an option”. And if wishes were horses…
