They said in the video he has the third mode they just didn't have the sample to show it, weird it isn't shown on the box from what I can see.Some comparisons, with the original on the left and the new version on the right.

I wonder if the "Dinosaur Centipede" mode will be included?

This pic is what led me to realize how short Big Convoy might be:Big doesn't necessarily mean tall; Big Convoy is bulkier.
I for one would welcome a new version of BW2 Galvatron. And a new version of Big Convoy, but I feel like Big Convoy's pretty much a given at this point.
Why becuase of Magmatron? Then we should be getting Galvatron first. As much as I love and want Magmatron; Galvatron could REALLY use a modern toy to improve his proprotions and articuation, and maybe tank mode somewhat.I for one would welcome a new version of BW2 Galvatron.

And his colors, too. His original toy was purple, but his on screen main color was pink.Why becuase of Magmatron? Then we should be getting Galvatron first.

We might get Brave-y figures but nothing directly referencing Brave characters. Bandai owns the Brave franchise now.I'm also interested in any potential recolours or remolds of "obscure" characters like BW Galvatron, etc as hopefully the potential new figure will be equally obscure or out of left field. Something like slightly remolding BW Galvatron and repainting it as Gigatron or Even Gigatron as BW Trypticon to name but a few. That or use Galvatron as a base for any Takara "Brave" kaiju-styled robots? I would like to see some then dip into the Brave figures and bring them into the TF multiverse.
And yet they've released:I feel that even with the more obscure characters, they’re still thinking with marketability in mind. Lio Convoy/Prime was the go-to lion mold repaint for over a decade and Magmatron was actually released internationally. Both also showed up in mass-release comics. Galvatron… got his colors used on a Botcon toy once and showed up in some club comics.

Strict? I don't believe they're any more strict than other places, especially between companies. The debacle over the Takara Gobots was mainly down to how Takara felt and showing due diligence/a good public image rather than any actual legal action, from what I've gathered.Not saying it’s not possible but there’s a reason why some Japan-only characters get toys and the others don’t. As has been noted before, just because they do obscure stuff every once and a while doesn’t mean they do it full time. They have many more universes to work with, with characters more popular to more people
As for Brave, as I understand it, they can make toys with the usual white-red-blue-gold colors and crazy headgear but with how strict Japanese IP laws are, they can’t make anything that looks too much like any existing Brave character or make halfway clear references in-fiction at risk of getting sued. Hasbro might be able to get away with it in their markets but I doubt their markets care.
Twice, even.We did get Big Convoy released over here, the mold at least:
They're very strict about copyright to the point where unauthorized uses have to be mosaiced out or otherwise censored for broadcast. This goes even for things that are clearly parodies, as those aren't covered as fair use there unlike in most other countries. It’s not often enforced but it affects the way they make their media.Strict? I don't believe they're any more strict than other places, especially between companies.

Regardless, Brave isn't a hill I'm interested in dying on here, but rather a placeholder for any interesting ideas we could get from some hopefully mandatory reuses of a hopefully released Galvatron mold and the current Magmatron mold. As both characters are fairly obscure, perhaps their repaints might equally be so?
