Maketoys has posted a new reveal via their official website and Facebook account. We have images of the Maketoys Cross Dimension MTCD-06 Rioter Galcatron (Galvatron) Prototype.
Following the style of Maketoys Cross Dimension series, this is a completely stylized and modern take on G1 Galvatron. The robot mode looks menacing and powerful, armed with an enormous cannon on hi right arm. The alr mode still resembles a big cannon, but in a completely different level of detail and design.
You can check out the mirrored images after the jump, and then chime in your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Don't worthlessly bump threads. If you have discussion, that's one thing. Discuss away. If you're posting, "Still no news", think twice and don't.

Closest we're likely to get is a purple and light gray Starscream repaint.

The Mad Demobot
At the very least, if nothing happens, he'll live on as inspiration for a cool Galvatron 3D model for a future project.
Curium
If you are going to do this on TFCon week it would probably be better to do it in the TFCon speculation thread.

Seconding this suggestion, let's make this a tombstone we can collectively mourn at.

can we lock this thread until there is news, if that ever happens

Well, some of us held up for 1 year+ for a re-release of NA Delta Magnus when we were told it would never happen, and here we are, getting our re-issue, bless the TF gods.
But for MT, who seem to only release repaints of the seekers at TFCons, and who seem to have suffered for originality / deviation to toons / comics, and who seem no longer interested in making new toys for years now, not so sure, but hey, anything is possible. I think one problem though is many years passed, and fans usually want the upgraded technology to today's standard, when this should have released years ago, unless they hire someone to upgrade to current tech.
Napalm
I think it's borderline criminal that preorders still exist for this thing.
Enemy
He's dead, Jim.

Still holding on hope…

I think the enthusiasm is there but Maketoys isn't seeing it I think.
I agree a webcomic would be great and build hype as well.

IMO XD is really great. I wish there was more enthusiasm. Perhaps if they turned their packed in story comics into full-fledged web comics, fans would get drawn in and demand would go up. I was digging those little stories.

Actually, you are.
