===1979 Marvel Comics===

Galactic Defender first appeared in Micronauts Annual 1 by Marvel Comics. He was depicted as a foe of the Micronauts. He dies in that story.

Both Defender and Destroyer were based on the yellow Mego version of the Galactic Defender toy.

After Marvel Comics lost the Micronauts license Galactic Warrior never appeared in the Marvel Universe again.

Micronauts 4 by IDW Publishing featuring Orbital Defender
