Sounds sort of like the Ninja Turtles van where you can make it any of the main cast. So you have a Shaggy, Fred, Velma, and Daphne head with a Scooby-bot that turns into his own snacks box.
Then something horrible happens when Shaggy Prime can't take it any more, rips Scooby-Bot open, and eats his insides.

Did I call it or did I call it?
The description honestly surprised me. The ninja turtles all have about the same build, while some sources show them in different colors or the like many times the only way to tell them apart is headband color and belt letter. The cast of Scooby Doo look nothing like each other, even just the human ones.
This has got me a little puzzled, as well. The Scooby gang is quite a variety of builds, so one robot trying to be all 4 seems a little over-optimistic. Unless the 4 heads are different expressions of the same head, which would be awesome.
Also, the "Mystery Machine-inspired" bit does not exactly build confidence that it's going to look the way I would like. Gotta see it first, though. It may prove to exceed all my expectations.
One idea that will probably never happen: A Mystery Machine with alternate heads to make the Monsters from different episodes that you can put over a base-head like a mask to pull off. And while there was still quite a range, many of the monsters DID follow the 'big guy in a bulky suit' styling.
I prefer four heads that are all basically the same head but with different facial expressions rather than four different heads that look like four different characters myself. Seriously, a Scooby-Doo themed collab? If you're going to have the head resemble any character, but pack in a second toy as Scooby himself, I'd want it to be Shaggy.
Exactly. If there is going to be a separate Scooby robot, the only correct choice is a corresponding Shaggy-bot. Doing the whole gang only makes sense if they're all separate unique robots. Which would be neat if they were committed to make 4 separate variants of the Mystery Machine, but I'm not sure the concept really warrants that.
Maybe it'll be heads with different cockpits for them as drivers or something.
Have we had piloted mechs as part of these Collaborative lines before?
This would likely be a first, just as we hadn't gotten electronics in the line before Agent Knight or changeable identities before Party Wallop. I'm just trying to make sense of this.
On that note, maybe it is just masks because "Mysterious Prime". Like it's obvious he's not really THEM, but the masks cover up the face so it's not clear what he really looks like. It could just be not that deep.

That could work too. They're big on masks.
Optimus Prime: "Now lets pull off the mask to see who he really us!" *yanks*
Velma: "Um...Optimus...he wasn't wearing a mask..."
Prime: "Ah, crud...I made this same mistake with The Fallen once...I thought he was a Bionacle, I swear!"
Velma: "Um...Optimus...he wasn't wearing a mask..."
Prime: "Ah, crud...I made this same mistake with The Fallen once...I thought he was a Bionacle, I swear!"
"Hey, kids! This Scooby van comes with severed heads!"
I'm just hoping "mystery machine-inspired" doesn't mean "we retooled Party Wallop" and the heads are a weird vestigial thing from that.
I don't think that's gonna be the case, but the thought did occur to me.
