It's kinda strange... I mean, the Thundercracker/Rattler is like... RIGHT THERE.
But seriously though, I feel like I would have been much happier with these guys if they were average TF size toys and didn't bother with a smaller Joe figure.

That said, I would've dug them taking Joe and Cobra vehicles and just making brand new characters out of them ala Ectotron, Jiggawatt, etc. but that's apparently less evergreen than Hasbro's marketing wants. I would absolutely love that. The irony of that is that with the designs of most of the Cobras (and even some of the Joes), you could make the alt mode inspired by one of the Vipers, etc and it'd totally WORK, unlike when they did that with Star Wars.

Truth be told, if they just had to include a Joe figure of some sort, I would have been happy with smaller scale figures with tiny GI Joe/Pilot figures. Something like Star Wars TFs from a few years back but hopefully with better engineering. I really don't know if I will collect these or not since they are pretty pricey and larger scaled. But then watch them do an Optimus Prime H.A.V.O.C. and all that goes out the window as I pre-order it like a mad man.

If i see one I actually like enough to justify the cost, I'd grab it. Or if they do a Night Raven in any capacity.

I think he would look good in those colors and an easy way to slap a "Gi Joe x Transformers" sticker on it. In fact, put in a 2 pack with a GI Joe Classified "Old Snake" and Hasbro would have an instant sell with me.

With current Joe offerings, I figure a Classified 6" scale Old Snake would be a no brainer. Or a vintage style o-ring release.

Also? How neat was it that this came from out of nowhere? No spoiling from leakers or people with "insider info" or any bullshit. Just "Hey, here's Flamewar!"
I'm looking forward to getting the lil' troll!
