Wait, wasn't Galvatron voiced by Leonard Nimoy? Maybe that forced them to go back to Megs rather than get a new voice actor and have them sound different (not that Galvatron really said anything in AoE ) I could see Galvatron 'shedding' his new human-given form and name and reclaiming his old name and Cybertronian body-style out of pride and vanity Wait, wasn't Galvatron voiced by Leonard Nimoy?

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm not really bothered because we have an amazing writing team taking on these movies.



That being said its never been the writing that's been an issue for me. It's the god awful editing! And I find enjoyment in all the movies but yeah, Bay in the editing room...yikes.



Megatron coming back Is interesting. His head(and maybe his body) are intact and what if we will get both Megatron and Galvatron and Galvatron is just a copy of Megatrons consciousness.

But your point about Megatron reclaiming his old identity and body could still work. Posted by Sigma Magnus on May 31st, 2016 @ 12:40pm CDT

It should , if there's one character trait the movies have given him, it's ego for days, so play it up and it will actually work, it's basic stuff really It, if there's one character trait the movies have given him, it's ego for days, so play it up and it will actually work, it's basic stuff really Posted by Hellscream9999 on May 31st, 2016 @ 12:43pm CDT

Maybe it's not really Megatron, but just a guy they call Megatron...like Brawl being called Devastator. Posted by Kibble on May 31st, 2016 @ 12:45pm CDT

Just have the Quintessons or even Unicron take all the Cybertronians on Earth, even the dead ones, and reformat them into a more traditional look while also bringing back Jazz, Ironhide, Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, etc... Just maguffin the hell out of the franchise. Posted by omega666 on May 31st, 2016 @ 12:50pm CDT

Not sure if serious, or perpetuating the joke that everything revealed is Unicron? Posted by Hellscream9999 on May 31st, 2016 @ 12:57pm CDT
