Initially, Galvatron was being designed as a triple changer and was actually going to be in a larger class. But once the decision was made to put Galvatron in Deluxe, his third "walker tank" mode was dropped. Because of molding reasons we had to leave some of those extra pieces in there. Here's the initial sketch and idea for the third mode.

Useless? Hmmm.
Sure, everyone had some idea for a mystery third mode, but there was no official info about this until mode just right now.
The concept art is a revelation.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
Question from Tformers:
"Would releasing the Henkei! Thrust and Dirge retooled molds in the United States violate your agreement with Fun Publications regarding not providing a main release for their Thrust/Dirge retool/remold figures?"
Question from The Allspark:
"In the previous Q&A Hasbro said they might consider releasing the remaining original "Seeker" characters Thrust and Dirge. Now that Takara has molded these toys with new wings, will Hasbro release the remolded toys so fans can complete their Seeker collection Stateside?"
Answer from Hasbro:
"In short, we could release versions similar to TakaraTomy's (TT) versions. In fact, we worked with TT to ensure that their versions were different enough from the BotCon versions to ensure their exclusivity.
But we recognize that there have been some fan favorites that are hard to find since they have only appeared in BotCon sets so far. We work closely with FP to ensure they get good exclusivity but we also don't want to miss good opportunities nationally.
So there may be a chance that Hasbro releases different versions of those characters (including Thundercracker as well), but it won't be in 2009."

I wonder if these two answers are a wee bit related. I for one would love to see Galvatron done right, as an Ultra....

We do get a few waves of Universe in early 2009 though, right? Smokescreen's wave, yes? Is that the last one?
