you don't know Galvatron?
Galvatron was leader of the decepticons - forged from what remained of Megatron by Omicron, the Planet Eater.

Go and rent Transformers: The Movie...

Thank you for clearing that up :-)
But the planet-eater was called Unicron... was about to make a flip remark along the lines of "Go rent and re-watch Transformers: The Movie" but name Omnicron rings a vague bell. American version perhaps?

not sure now - too long since I watched it...
I think I saw it with Omnicron, though.

It was, however, Orson Welles' last ever role. That and Eric Idle voicing the leaderof the Junkbots, whilst having a montage track sung by Weird Al Yankovic, means that this film is about 99/100 on the cool-o-meter.

Nowhere else will you find this level of respect for so geeky a subject
Hats off, sir

I always thought
it was a place in Texas that Glen Campbell sang about...

I confess
I am that geeky...

I had the comics delivered religiously every week as a kid and I will even admit to liking the new live-action films.

On an unrelated note, I actually liked the new GI Joe film as it took me back to the days when I got the comic (Action Force in the UK) and had a collection of the toys. In fact, it made me want to raid my parents' loft to recover them, but I retained my dignity. I was, however, gutted that the whole arc between Snake Eyes and White Shadow was done and dusted in a single fight scene - and also that they did away with the whole "Snake Eyes is blind, but his Ninja skills are so awesome it just makes him harder to distract" thing...

It's Unicron.
Ah, I see some one beat me to it! However, Unicron is Unicron in the west. Jap version could well be different though!
