Of course, much like the FOC Grimlock with Megatron's head, there's the chance that this was just a head variant that won't see the light of day.
I wouldn't be surprised either if they never make Demolishor to retail sale either - unless he finds his way into some future giftset or similar obscure release.
I did Notice that with the guns raised Onslaught looks more like an AA cannon and less like an artillery piece Mounted on a tank transporter than he once did.
If CW Demolishor ever does come out I think I might like to see some slimmer more gun shaped barrels made for Cybertron Demolishor (where he usually has missiles)- that might make a more interesting way to both tie him to his future/alternative self and make the toy look more distinctive to the Armada one when repainted.

Demolishor wasn't a crane, though.
Those are two separate statements.
I am saying that
1) The choice of a Demolishor head is a wee bit perplexing to me.
2) That Hotspot is a better thing to remould as his cab is quite similar to the cab many cranes have so turning that mould into a crane makes some sense as it has the correct front end and they could modify the combiner head and ladder accordingly - but I guess the greater number of new parts needed would put them off.
But here is a thought - does "Demolishor" share Bruticus head still too or is that also remoulded - I think it is the same looking at other images of the testshot in vehicle mode I've seen (But I can't be certain as the Testshot for Onslaught is pretty much identical bar the head).
That makes the choice even odder then if the Torso mode is still Bruticus like in the head.

So No I am not suggesting putting Demolishor's head on a Crane - I might do if he resembled Cybertron Mudflap a bit more - but he doesn't so I won't.
The only reason I suggested Hotspot as the remould is that Bludgeon has already been derived from Onslaught so another Remould of a similar kind seemed a bit much when Hotspot's variation (with facing the other way vehicle mode) has yet to be similarly modified as yet.
I was simply suggesting that if they wished to do so a Crane Mode Transformer would be a possible idea. as not only is the shape right they can even keep the Chevrons.
