I have seen the description of Age of Extinction's Galvatron (the human-made Decepticon Optimus was fighting with before he was captured by Lockdown) from Hasbro.com that reads "The Autobots won a great victory when Optimus Prime defeated Megatron at the Battle of Chicago. Megatron is gone, but a new evil has taken his place. Humans have built a bot designed to be even more powerful than the fallen Decepticon leader. Now, the Autobots must defeat the mighty Galvatron!"
It leaves me to say this, but I hope that this means that like in the original Transformers cartoon, Galvatron DOES have an apparent connection with Optimus' arch-rival even if he somehow doesn't act like the Megatron we know!
So far, we've seen how Megatron spends his time being all evil like his TF Prime counterpart in the very 1st TF film, until we see him in a not-so-tough form in
Revenge of the Fallen and then later as a weakened, rusty Decepticon tyrant in
Dark of the Moon before meeting his final (yet anti-climatic) demise at the hands of Optimus Prime! I'd be happy to see what's left of his head among the experiments Attinger and the evil humans have been testing on, based on the photo that I found (see
http://tformers.net/g/generated/21182/Transformers%204%20-%20Movie%20Set%20Image%20Reveals%20Possible%20Return%20of%20Megatron__scaled_600.jpg)! And I've been hearing that Galvatron was
created from the remains of Megatron, much like how Thundercracker and Skywarp/Bombshell have been rebuilt as Scourge and Cyclonus without remembering their old personalities. I really want this to be true! Because I always knew that Galvatron reminds me so much of that power-hungry buckethead!
I don't know if it's really gonna be portrayed in the movie, according to the Kreon Galvatron Factory Battle, some say that this is probably where Galvatron would become sentient (regaining Megatron's consciousness?) and turn against on the humans that created him and lead the Decepticons to conquest once more. This might be an excellent redemption for Megatron/Galvatron (following his downgraded portrayal in TF 2-3) after everyone enjoyed the megalomaniacal Decepticon leader back at the TF Ride in Universal Studios Hollywood/Orlando! Maybe Hugo Weaving should NOT be the voice of Galvatron if he doesn't enjoy his time providing his role as Megatron for all 3 TF films. I think Frank Welker (raspy voice or not, see TF Prime -- he almost sound like Hugo Weaving (without the Agent Smith accent)!) should be the voice of Galvatron (again but without the G1 counterpart's insanity)! But Michael Bay better not have Galvatron die for the 3rd (?) time and have him make out of the Battle of Hong Kong alive! He should know that there's a slight possibility that TF4 is only the beginning (for this new trilogy, of course) and
not the end since DOTM!
