Not sure if this already has a thread (I couldn't find one), but I found this on Tformers.com, it looks like the Combiner Wars Onslaught/Hot Spot mould might be retooled into Demolishor:

Sadly there's no link to the actual listing this comes from, but it's a test shot in a Chinese listing.

Huh, odd... especially since the head is in a different color compared to the rest of the prototype. :-?

It could be a custom, I've seen custom heads that colour on figures before (specifically, a MTMTE-inspired Ratchet head someone made for Combiner Wars First Aid). Even so, if it is an official sculpt I don't think we'll actually see this Demolishor come out, because alternative head sculpts have a tendency not to happen. The Beast Wars Megatron variant of Fall of Cybertron Grimlock comes to mind...

Onslaught's head was the same red

Primusdamnit. Demolishor deserves his own mold. All they really need to do is add better articulation to the original toy.

Jesus, between the Silverbolt, Scattershot and Cyclonus, Optimus Prime, Motormaster and Battle Core Optimus Prime, and Hot Spot, Onslaught and now this...that means every single combiner torso has gotten at least 3 retools. And that's not even counting exclusives like Bludgeon.

Every Deluxe and Voyager has space for 2 main vehicle shells with 2/3 heads each: 4/6 figures from each main mold. Just warning ya.

It's good to see Armada Demolisher get a well needed update

IF this were to become a thing, who would demolishor's limbs be? :-?

Most likely he'd be stand-alone like Cyclonus. I'm more interested in his Combiner Head, who could it be? :-?

Someone could make "clip on" tracks for him since the wheels on that family of mould are so super easy to get off. Even half tracks just on the legs would be good (with some little castors in them).

You could also flip the chest plate around the other way to make the look more distinct too. (if the mould allows it).

I will admit though conceptually speaking the idea seems a little strange to me - but should Funpub keep making Decepticons out of the combiner limbs then It might eventually be useful to have another torso.

I would have thought a Cyclonus slight remould as Misfire might have been worth a consideration though perhaps.

I think a better use for the mould family would have been to make a crane arm for the Hot Spot mould and turn it into Mudflap/Erector or someone like that. the shape of the mould family seem quite well suited to a crane mode.
