CharacterGalvatron is the Decepticon leader from the Transformers series, the rebuilt form of Megatron. He crosses into Evangelion territory only by mention: in the crossover story Transformers Mode "EVA", Starscream briefly considers turning his stolen Angel power against him.
Appearance
As a Decepticon, Galvatron is a transforming war machine of the Transformers mythos, distinguished by being Megatron remade into a new body. The Evangelion crossover never depicts him directly, so it adds nothing new to his look.

Galvatron never steps on stage in Transformers Mode "EVA". After Starscream seizes the body of an Angel and gains its power, he muses about settling scores with Galvatron, then decides that eliminating Optimus Prime comes first.
