X-Transbots teased a whole new figure, Tyrant, which I believe has been cancelled. Oddly enough, there have been some pretty interesting add-on kits or customs using the WFC Megatron or TFPrime Megatron as a base figure for Galvy.

Also, as pointed out already - if there were an add-on kit for Classics/Henkei Galvatron, what would be the purpose for alt mode? Both Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus had trailers, but Galvatron was just a laser gun not a tank as the figure is made.

Well as I said earlier I think they could use the armor to make him transform into his proper G1 cannon instead of a tank ya know?
I wasn't aware of an add on kit for war for cyber Meg's though. Sounds like it might be awesome if done right.
Is this out yet, who makes it and what of this matrix mr beast prowl spoke of?
Thanks guys!

EDIT: I just saw the add on kit to make prime Meg's galvatron and it looks great?
I'm just hoping it hasn't been painted yet right? Surely they didn't go through that trouble to leave the can on clear and torso/face black?
If you guys tell me it hasn't been painted yet I will first do a happy dance and second go buy a prime Meg's and eagerly await a release for the galvie upgrade. Still didn't find the upgrade for war for cyber Meg's though.

He may be referring to Dream Maker, they have released upgrade kits for both WFC Prime and Megs. Here's are links to reviews for both products, done by board member TJ Duckett:

Think you found Renderform's kit. These needed to be painted as they were part of a customization skills class, but I think they are all sold out (well, at least through A3U). I wanted to get one of these kits but missed out due to other financial obligations. If ever Renderform releases more, I'll have to prioritize. I think TF:P Megatron makes a great base for a Galvatron. You could also purchase the BBTS exclusive Dark Energon Megatron with the translucent purple as a decent stand in: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS22322&mode=retail

Hope you find what you are looking for.

You mean those upgrades were so severely limited that Theyre already sold out???!!! NOOOOO NO NO!! I so tire of having to buy third party over ebay for quadruple its retail value!! Why cant hasbro just do this think correctly so they can get our cash and not third party folks? I am tired of covating all this third party greatness because I cant justify spending all the inflated ebay prices ya know?
SIIIIIGH...Sometimes collecting makes me verry sad.

Renderform is a one-man show, casting everything himself. The nature of this release was limited because it was promoting a customization class. It's possible (not sure about probable) that the kit sees a larger run at some point and is offered directly through his site, but he's got a few other projects going on right now and I'm really not sure what the demand would make it worth his efforts to do another run.

If anything, you and I make 2 potential buyers. Until then, give that Dark Energon Megs a gander and consider him for a substitute. Maybe we'll all be treated to a new, official Galvatron release in the near future.

One guy made that galvie suit? Thats pretty amazing! Then to hear he has more projects in the works?
It kind of makes you wonder how one guy can offer us, although at a limited number, what noone else can including hasbro.
Hopefully I can get my hands on one at some point. It sure did look great didnt it? It wasnt even painted yet!
Ill look over the galvie you spoke of. Thanks bro.
