Takara-Tomy Mall on Yahoo Japan has updated with a new page talking about the Unite Warriors line – and on this new page, there is an image showing the lineup of combiners so far, including a glimpse of Takara-Tomy’s Galvatronus!
What we can see from this image is that Unite Warriors Galvatronus is a complete new deco – that torso is not Cyclonus, nor are the limbs any existing decos released in the US. In fact, it looks like with this set we are getting a Starscream redeco of Skydive, a possible Armada Thrust version of Air Raid, plus a navy blue Offroad, a Rook mainly in white with some black and a red trim, and Cyclonus himself is in grey, a possible homage to the toy colors of Generation 1 Galvatron.
There is no other information to go on, yet – however if past trends hold true, we should be seeing some more information fairly soon (and hopefully some news about that Takara-Tomy Unite Warriors Bruticus too!)

But then it would be the first aid mold, not the offraoad mold, which is a pickup truck, unlike animated Soundwave.

Kind of Animated Soundwave?
Mirage232
Not to mention the green matrix that came with the E-hobby reissue of Galvatron. One of my favorites.

Could it be from the beast series's?

There is MP-08X Grimlock and MP G2 Sideswipe. So there is some precedents for it.

Only other one I can think of is Movie 07 Dropkick. If they are going for a multi-generation theme it could work.

Cybertron Cannonball. Now there's a long shot for yar.

I really doubt it's Crankcase. I'm still putting my virtual money on Prime Breakdown.

They have.

Why would Takara be hoaging the Marvel comics with this? Have they shown to care for those comics in the past?

Suddenly it all makes sense.
You could just re-purpose them.

Looks like an interesting combiner. Hopefully, Takara will name the other figures in the set soon.
Basilisk
Thing is who could it be if it isn't Crankcase? Prime Breakdown? I can't think of that many Blue Bad Guy Trucks.
kaijuguy19
That's true. That could be the combined mode name though.
Jimlock
That is a good spot! It's just a shame none of the limbs really match the colours for Hook, Line or Sinker.
marvel b
holy crap!!!!

Wasn't Marvel Comic's Galvatron (II) a dimension jumper?
marvel b
this version of galvatronus really shows that he's a dimension jumper, which makes me very happy compared to hasbro's version. he must of gotten each limb from different continuities, i hope i get this guy ,and if i do he's getting viper…not hasbro's version….
Autovolt 127
Actually that's not a bad idea.
though maybe he should be called Galvaplex instead.

I still think UT homage.
