Galactic Defender (also called Galactic Destroyer and Orbital Defender) is a fictional character from the Micronauts series introduced in 1978.

Micronauts

Galactic Defender was a character in the Micronauts series. The depiction of Galactic Defender has varied vastly from one fictional setting to another.

Galactic Defender usually carries a helmet, Laser Sword, Power Unit and Stun Carbine.

Development

Mego released the Galactic Defender toy in 1978 in three color variants. It was based on the mold use for a Takara the Microman Command 3 figures, but with the chamber removed and new accessories added. He was also released by Lion Rock with different accessories.

In 2003 Palisades Toys released a Galactic Defender Toy in four new color variants. This toy had a new backpack design.

In 2016 Hasbro released a set of Micronauts toys at SDCC which included Orbital Defender, a new take on Galactic Defender. Derryl DePriest said at SDCC 2016 that the Micronauts Classic Collection toys were created using a combination of the 1970's molds recovered by Takara and various Microman parts.<REF>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z87j58VOgY8</RED>
