A few months ago I was asked if I could take photos of these. They're the exploration into Armada Galvatron's colors. Getting a chance to talk with Aaron and Joe (Kyde) at BotCon... the starting point was "make it something that was its own." In other words, not G1 Galvatron

@songye_69 The story is that his insignia is literally just a sticker that has started to fall off. He keeps having to put it back on, and because he is lazy he just slaps it on at hand height. Swerve is deathly afraid of tattoos so he's never received an actual autobrand.

@DiaBraveSid I will never get sick of G1 diaclone OC toys.

@TF_Moments I’m digging that prototype color scheme.

[Joe Kyde @Kyde]

@CoolDudeThe2nd @TF_Moments That would be waaaaay more than a book. But yes, totally agree.

@TFsquareone I love my Victory Leo. I was working in the Takara offices for a few months and as a parting gift Kunihiro-san, the designer of G1 Victory Leo, gave me his personal copy he kept on his desk. It’s incomplete, yellowing, with well-worn stickers and I love it. It’s priceless to me.

@FansprojectFan I was looking for a befitting Earth mode vehicle for Scourge, and the engine nacelles jutting up from the back on the X-48B mockup reminded me of his original G1 design's weird head detail. I sketched up an idea of what it would look like with just one external nacelle:

@mattkaleb003 @TF_Moments This was his Cybertronian form, which influenced both the divergent toy and animation designs.
