That makes an even better Dreadnok machine than a Batmobile!
And, you're right, there was definitely an art to the scale of Joe vehicles; big enough to look realistic next to the Joes, but small enough to keep the cost reasonable.
It is interesting that they are creating a new Cobra minion with an overt Transformers connection. The Zombie Viper and Toxo-Zombie were existing Cobra Zombies, but they chose to forge a new path. If I was collecting Classified beyond the BATs, I would be very intrigued by this.
Okay, weird tangent, but in another thread it was pointed out that the Seacons in the Marvel comic were supposedly brought to earth to work on a construction project. So now, I'm curious to see the Seacons in Constructicon colors (either the same as the Constructicons or with purple the primary...
Not really a repaint per se, but I'd love to see someone make parts to turn Armada Demolishor (or his Cybertron redeco) into an approximation of an MBAW-93 maser tank from the 90s Godzilla movies:

I'm still hoping there's an alternate Bumper/Bumblejumper head thrown in the set unannounced. The mold was obviously not intended to be just used for Bumblebee.
That said, the whole functional trailer is worth it, imo. Been wanting this since we got a legends-scale Optimus.

Honestly, kids could use a bit of reality in their shows. Nothing graphic or oppressively dark, but real consequences to actions and unfavorable resolutions are not all bad. Sometimes people die. Sometimes the badguys win. And sometimes, the good guys and badguys aren't so easy to tell apart...
