For Galvatron, who only ever had one form (not counting Megatron if you go by the 86 movie), wouldn't really have any way of utilizing such armor that I can think of. He's a tank in his Classics alt mode. For Hot Rod to become Rodimus, it made sense, both because of how he turned into Rodimus in the 86 movie and because Rodimus Prime's alt mode is basically the front of his old 'Hot Rod' car mode attached to a large trailer turning him into what has been affectionately called his 'space winnebago' so the armor had a place to go in alt mode quite cleanly (it made up parts of the trailer itself).
I think we'll see either a Has/Tak Voyager (or larger) Galvatron or a complete third party Voyager or larger Galvatron before we ever see an add-on kit for the dinky little tank Classics Deluxe Galvatron.

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.

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?
Megs for pres wrote: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.

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.
