Garbage is now Garakutaa?
Sounds weird, but I can live with it. Also love the fact the Material attaching is a thing that happens directly afterwords, similar to shenanigans with Drill Warrior.

Unform being able to create shenanigans with Creature Swap- All of my yes.

Wait a minute-

Unform's Ruling: If this card is attacked while it is under your opponent's control and is destroyed by battle, you can activate its effect.

That doesn't make any sense, because Unform's effect:

When this attacking card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 2 "Umbral" monsters from your Deck. You can only use the effect of "Umbral Unform" once per turn.

Mistranslation, or what?

Concoruda's ruling also doesn't make sense.  

 

 If this card on the field is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: You can Tribute all Tokens to target 1 Level 4 or lower "Mecha Phantom Beast" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.

 

Since by battle occur at the damage step.

That part actually doesn't make sense, though. If their ATK is always equal to the target monster (meaning, its ATK will change if the targeted monster's ATK changes), and the target monster disappears, their ATK should become 0 because it can no longer reference the targeted monster.
