I too suspect this was carried over from Titanium. But we've seen them upsize and downsize toy molds before. Why not make this bigger?

 

I'm guessing because it's cheaper and easier to change what it's made of than it is to scale it up. Plus you'd expect for like a more complex transformation, lights, sounds, and whatnot from a larger figure which would mean more expensive remolding on top of the resizing. I think it was Aaron Archer who said that the more remolding you do the more expensive it gets and the more better off you are just starting over from scratch. Apparently it's more expensive to remold than it is to do an original mold.

I think most fans on message boards use the word "remold" to refer to concept as well as the physical shaving away at the original mold (which is what archer refers to)

 

in that sense, from a fans perspective,

Beast Megatron

RM-BM

and

10th/Cybertron BM

 

are all conceptual remolds, even though they are clearly different physical molds.

I like him, especially for his bot mode. I will definately get him. I mean seriously, he's better than his G1 version toy.

I love it. Galvy needs more mobility in his alt mode. Now I can have him smack around my titanium Scourge. All we need is a Cyclonus update!

I think Galvy looks pretty nice overall. I'll add him to my get list.

I'm late so let me post what everyone else posted. Why the Powerglide is Galvatron a Deluxe?!?!?!? Why?!

 

It's like getting a coupon for free icecream and finding out when you get there it's 1 scoop only.

Will I get it? yes. Do I wish it had just been the voyager class Energon Megatron repainted in the same Galvatron colorscheme as the Leader class Energon Galvatron? YES! But I digress.

I don't think lavender is cooler than purple.

They're both purple...but yeah.
