Lucemon Satan Mode is the creation of the writers from Digimon Frontier. And unless they pull another digimon from their ass (which I actually suspect they will), he's the final opponent of the series. Bandai had no part in his creation, they're only making the cards and toys based off Toei's designs.
Lucemon Satan Mode and Lucemon Falldown Mode are very problematic as unlike Dukemon and Imperial Dramon whose body just changes with minor power up, Lucemon's mode changes are full evolutionary steps. Which completely contradicts Toei's previous statements on what a mode change is. Hell, according to Toei, what mode change is supposed to be is closer to slide evolution, but that's 'completely different.'
Oh, and Imperial Dramon and Imperial Dramon Fighter Mode is still the closest in what a mode change is supposed to be. Fighter Mode is quiet litterally a transforming in a style similar to Transformers of the dragon into a warrior, which is not an evolution. All it is, is the relocation of certain parts of the dragon. The head swinging down to reveal a smaller human head. The armor on the forelegs moving around to become arms. The hind legs straightening out into humanoid legs. Wings being swept back and lasar canon moving from back to forearm. That's it. The changes are supposedly cosmetic. There shouldn't be a power-up, but a change in how to conduct battle.
