Can't you mistransform SS86 Brawn's legs to give him G1 toy-style legs?
They should canonize that mistransformation.

I have Toxitron Grimlock, but only because he went on clearance at a Walmart for $30. Unless a Selects G2 Dinobots release went on a similar clearance, I could not afford 4, or even 2, Leader class figures in one shot. I would dearly love to get Sludge and Swoop in their G2 guises, and a Slag and Snarl to match, but the Leader releases just price me right out.
The Core dinos are not ideal figures, no, but I would welcome them in the G2 decos just because they're affordable. (and honestly, Grimlock and Sludge are not great, but Swoop, Snarl, and Slag turned out okay in Core.)

The Powered Masters are big enough to punch Trypticon in the face, and the Battlestars are comparable.
To be fair, sizes in Zone are all over the map. Devastator is the size of Trypticon as well.
Scale in Transformers is a running gag.
Was his official height given somewhere?
This page of the Legends manga, in the middle panel in the top half, says that the body he had during Zone was his third body, and was "miniaturized" compared to his first two bodies (which were the one he had in the Scramble City OVA, and the one he had built by the Constructicons in "Five Faces of Darkness").
Literally nothing about Brawn's engineering is problematic for clear windows, indeed he was almost certainly engineered with them in mind.
All the single-piece thin vehicle panels on thin hinges? One of which is the attachment point for the pivoting shoulder joints? Yeah, that’s a great use of clear plastic. Maybe that’s the version that’s meant to go with shuttle Ratchet.
The way the shoulder joints attach to a part that has most of a window on its back tells me that at best we’d get the terrible mismatched windows.

Watching TJ Omega's video about this news, and he mentioned that Evan and the others at Hasbro have talked about considering making Titans smaller in order to get brick-and-mortar stores to carry them, since they would take up so much shelf space at their current size. It's possible that this Star Convoy could be the first outing of that smaller Titan size as a test to see how well it might do at Target and Walmart stores, since it is a version of Optimus Prime after all.
Well it's going to get me to buy a Titan, so they may be on to something.
They’re just about out of gigantic dudes with media presence anyway. Only things left are like Metroplex that is more G1 and maybe FOC Metroplex.
I thought they were killing Core Class?
Bring on Citadel Secondus!
I mean, they're already doing at least two of his new inhabitants...
From the information that has leaked, Core Class is no longer being offered as part of Studio Series or Generations.
My current speculation/hypothesis/hope for Cyberworld is that it will be a standardized-small scale line that would allow for vehicle/playset/world building type supplemental items. If that were true, it might justify Star Convoy having a base mode and, thus, have ”stuff” to interact with it since Micromasters (or similar micro toys) aren’t a current or seemingly upcoming concern In the collector segment.
Core Class, IMO, was a superior product to what is generally offered at the comparative price point (1 Steps). I still feel a modest sized and price, traditional converting, item at $10 has value. But maybe not as part of the more expansive Studio Series or Generations segments.
But we’ll see.
