Are they even going to make more of them?

The frustrating thing is that the Joes have a jet that could make a decent Starscream, and Cobra has the perfect Powerglide.
I both love and hate you for that. It's wonderful news but god damn that is gonna be expensive.Hawk Mobat Optimus Prime GI Joe Transformers Crossover

Going back to this; Brawn is one of their go to G1 guys. Like He might not be an A tier guy, but certainly B and at worst C.
We got the SS86 version and his dead self, we got the POTP one, he was also made into a Titanmaster. He was one of the few characters they made from Bumblebee Movie, then before that he had a Bayverse toy that is still one of the better toys of its era. Brawn's always getting new toys. He's usually one of the first minibots after Bumblebee and Cliffjumper to get toys.
I would be cool with this Starscream:
And there's always Viper, with Powerglide as a Tiger Force Tiger Rat redeco:

I would hope they would forego the motorized treads in order to simplify the transformation. Otherwise, it's going to take a lot more engineering to work around them, and be crazy expensive. As long as the figures can interact just like the original (which is actually pretty basic on the MOBAT, just a turret seat, if I recall), I think the main objective is satisfied.
If Warpath isn't the MOBAT, then I doubt Powerglide becomes the one of the jets. Probably be Jetfire or Silverbolt first...
I had a horrible thought: they keep prime motorized by making him transform automatically like armada primes super pants. And then charge like 300 bucks for the privilege.
Guys, guys, guys... Shower Thought:
Titan scaled bulkhead as the USS FLAGG.

You mean Broadside?
Thank you. Couldn't remember the right name, and bulkhead was close enough.
To be fair, "Bulkhead" is a great name to use for a naval alt mode Transformer (of which we need more).
We don’t get boats the same reason we only have one aquaman in the Justice League despite 70% of the planet being water.
Turns out there are several underwater Justice League equivalents, each with a token "Land Guy."
They all just outsource that stuff to Batman
Every time I try to read an Aquaman solo book or Aquaman-centered JL story arc, it seems Atlantis is at war with other undersea kingdoms or itself. I figured that that always keeps all the z-list sushi-people busy.
Alright: Hiss tank Megatron!
Go look at my review for striker bumblebee. Basically it all applies here. The joints are pretty much better across the board, and the canopy of the tank becomes a very heavy, very putting off balance piece of kibble off his back when in robot mode. BUT! The tank is awesome looking in vehicle mode, and it holds together fairly well. And it just look awesome either way if you can get it balanced on it's feet.
But the core precept remains: it's a playset for the included figure. I'm kind of happy they did it this way instead of badly out of scale "partners" figures like they did during the movie lines.
Still not impressed when compared to more mainline figure toolings... but still happy with my decisions and purchases.
Edit: I had a thought while I was doing the dishes, they did this sub-line a massive disservice by not giving the cybertronians articulated hands. Being able to pick up and hold or interact with the human characters in a bunch of different ways. Are you honestly telling me megatron won't hold someone by their shirt and dangle them in front of his face, or that soundwave would grab and hurl a human when he was annoyed by them?
