Your talkin about tank unicron right

Your talkin about tank unicron right

Yes, and I know he was in the comics related to the cartoon.

So what nebulons speak Australian

If the entire large robot population of Gigantion speaks with Scottish accents, then why not?

Though, the real-world reason was due to GONZO, the studio who made the show, either didn't get the memo from the higher-ups at Hasbro/Takara that the show was supposed to be another sequel, or did get the memo and outright chose to forgo their instructions, and instead wrote it as another reboot. Thus, leaving it to their superiors in both countries to try and fix what GONZO shouldn't have done.

Galaxy Force was not intended to be in any way connected to Micron Legend/Superlink, that originated with the English dub, known to us as Cybertron

But like cybertron it too was retconned into being in the same universe as it's two predecessors

This whole fiasco with Cybertron/Galaxy Force is why Hasbro and Takara went back to doing their own things. That and the animation schedule slowed down the English recording for what was meant to be simulcast.

The whole "Unicron Trilogy" was a good experiment to see if Hasbro and Takara could work together on an animated project. With the exception of a few SNFUS in the first two parts and the big disagreement for the third, it was an overall success.

Now we're at the point of retconing retcons to retcon...... ya Cybertron/Galaxy Force being the same doesn't work. However clever use of the Unicron Singularity makes everything work out.

Aaron Archer says you're wrong:



This right here is what's known as the "Napkin of Revelation", on which the earliest pieces of Cybertron/Galaxy Force production materials are written. Archer conceived the earliest details of the series, which GONZO would use to build upon for creating the Galaxy Force anime that would be dubbed back into English for Cybertron. Galaxy Force, like Micron Densetsu and Super Link, was not a Japanese-only project that Hasbro had no involvement in other than dubbing. Rather, it was Hasbro who masterminded the conception of most of the story and characters, working in conjunction with TakaraTomy to create the toys and cartoon, but with GONZO deciding to ignore what Hasbro had laid out for the series to work as another sequel and instead making it more standalone than it was supposed to be.

Also, the following was all present in Galaxy Force before any dubbing:

Armada Unicron's debris


Energon Alexis


Armada Mini-Cons seen on a mural on Gigantion


Among others.

Hey, I'm just going off what I heard, and what I heard was that the English dub's connection with Armada/Energon was exclusive to the U.S. version and that it was just a reboot in Japan

It was originally presented as another reboot, but was since restored to its intended sequel status by the higher ups at Takara.

All this changes for certain about the final product of Galaxy Force is that the nameless evil god who was so obviously Unicron due to Primus being his enemy but still not explicitly called out as being Unicron now confirmed to be Unicron.
