Oh, that's a longstanding misconception that turned out to not be the case.
I beg pardon? Please explain, this would be news to me
It turns out that, when the Blentrons stole all of the Angolmois Energy that the Big Convoy Unit and Magmatron Unit has each collected, they put it all into some kind of pod that coalesced the energy together to revive Unicron in a new "energy body" that he chose to appear in the look of Galvatron to at first trick both teams into thinking that the Blentrons were working for and trying to resurrect Galvatron instead of him, before revealing his true identity to them moments later. He then simply chose to keep Galvatron's appearance as the default look of his energy body for the rest of the series.
Galvatron's corpse being involved was a fan belief born out of what things merely looked like onscreen without the additional context provided by the dialogue spoken by the characters, since Western fans had had no access to accurate translations of said dialogue for about two decades.
A similar case is the misconception that the Blentrons themselves were beings made out of Angolmois Energy, and that Unicron absorbed them to fully complete his resurrection. What was actually the case was that the Blentrons were never indicated to be made of Angolmois Energy or given any kind of origin at all in the cartoon, and that Unicron absorbed them simply to repower himself after he had been exhausted by a fight with the Big Convoy Unit. And the three were willing to be absorbed, even, content with their fate, knowing that their energy would heal their wounded master.
