BWII Galvatron was released almost 20 years ago. I think we'll see a reissue of the BW Reborn Megatron to go with the reissue of Primal in the Legends series before we see Takara re-release BWII Galvatron.

How so - I don't transform mine much any more - but that is because I'm weary of the small tabs and the gold plastic not because he's difficult - I wouldn't say he is at all, much much less fiddly than Big Convoy is for example.
The only issue I'd have with him is the same one I'd aim at Lio Convoy which is floppy hinges during transformation.
He also has the shoot yourself in the face action feature that is an issue sometimes around that time with poorly designed rocket triggers.
But he's pretty easy to get from Beast mode to cannon mode. and not much more difficult to get from beast mode to robot mode.
The only thing I can think of that might qualify as difficult is that he has to be transformed in a set way and if you don't know the trick you might get a little stuck with the clearance on his tiny arms - which requires folding his cannon swivel one way and then the other to get the beast arms past that piece.
I can't think of anything difficult on him other wise he's pretty intuitive.
If there is any images of the Silver version floating about I'd be interested to see that in more detail - I've always thought it was a shame this mould didn't get a colour option a bit like what Combiner Wars Megatron has now.

Galvatron II intuitive? Really? You transformed him on the fly withouth reading the instructions at first go?
For a kid's toy, I wouldn't recommend him until an age level of 14 up. That mold is quite advance for his time.
And yes, those claw tomohawks/missiles are a pain that they keep on launching automatically.

BW2 Galvatron is a pain in the ass to transform for anyone of any age.
