===Fictional biography=== | |||
{{quote|''After his brush with death and subsequent rebirth, Galvatron became an even wiser and more compassionate leader of the heroic Decepticons. He uses his new powers and alternate form to manage his battles against Prime's forces on both Cybertron and Earth. His chemical laser cannons have a range of two miles and his hook-and-grapple is supported by a nigh unbreakable destronium tether. It has been a full solar cycle since Nexus Prime and Aquarius left Cybertron for parts unknown, and the Stellar Spanner built by Alpha Trion subsequently destroyed. However, some strange energy readings coming from inside Iacon seems to indicate the technology may be in use once again...''}} | |||
