Closest thing I can think of right now is that the SS86 Arcee was a modified T30 Arcee.
I doubt that would fly. Even as a sci-fi gun, being a black/grey gun-shaped object is probably out.
I'll give that points for creativity (a lot of points, really), but I can't imagine a voyager class figure being able to wield another voyager class figure successfully.
Wonder if it would be a Complicated Voyager with accessories that, if not replicate (because he's not a gun), suggest/call back to the G1 stock/silencer bits.
One way around the G1 Megatron gun problem, is to have the figure look like Megatron, changing into a tank of some kind, call it a Cybertron tank if need be, but package him with an accessory that looks like his G1 Alt mode, two birds, one stone, so to speak, sure he won't Transform into his classic gun mode but then, would he actually need to, considering when he transformed in the movie, it was only for Starscream to wield and gun down the Shuttle's bridge crew!
I'm going to laugh when it's just Siege again.
But with yet another slightly different paint job!
Still battle damaged, because whoever came up with that idea is very bitter that we want releases without it.
They sneak into our homes and paint battle damage onto figures that were previously released without it.
I don't think anyone is reasonably expecting a gun. But gun and tank aren't the only two options. Spaceship that's kind of like a gun (like Siege Shockwave) or cannon (like Kingdom Galvatron, but maybe more realistic, like TheSupernova's Howitzer idea) are far superior options. After all, if they aren't going to improve on Siege/Earthrise and deliver the relative accuracy SS is typically known for, why bother?
But then at Leader Class, maybe they'd find a way to hide the tank parts well. Who knows?
If it has Netflix silver only it's pristine and doesn't yellow, i'll take it.
I, personally, liked the Stealth bomber Megatron and the TR Megatron-from-Blitzwing jet mode. Since a Megatron gun mode is not an option, I feel like a jet mode (but distinct from the Seekers) is kind of a logical alternate take. After all, even Orion Pax made such a big deal about how Megatron could fly...
I'm a big fan of Animated's helicopter Megatron design and was happy to see it come back around for Earthspark. It gets you a flying vehicle for Megatron to compliment the seekers while being very much his own unique thing, and can be designed to more or less be a giant flying gun.
But, that's more for new versions of Megatron. For a theoretical SS86 Megs, I'm still pulling for an artillery canon. Something like this just from the robot:
Then the "silencer" and "stock" attachments turn it into more of this:

I'm not interested in a Megatron who turns into a gun in this day and age.
I'm also not interested in a SS86 Megatron who, by turning into anything else, isn't actually accurate to the cartoon.
Just put him in another line.

Supremely cartoon-accurate robot mode, alt-mode on the level of Siege Soundwave or Legacy Skullgrin.
If we're redoing characters that have been done recently, I'd LOVE another pass at a better Astrotrain...
Could we get a Galvatron a Cyclouns and a Rodimus Prime added on in this line at some point and if we do what class's would they likely be?
I won't. We never got a "normal" version of that mold. We only got cell-shaded and then various versions with cr@pple-damage all over them.
If they don't, then it's no problem for me, as I got the slightly OSKO version of it and it rocks.
