with size restraints and brawl being a tank I can definitely see a swindle repaint. A Jeep or FAV would look just as out of place as a leg. as groove would have had Defensor looking like he had a peg leg. me personally I don't mind a little fudging on scale (Shuttle being a bit small) but that might be a bit to much for my tastes I like the nosecone idea as well still cant wait to see what they do with him
Seriously hope he's not used for Brawl or Nosecone. Wouldn't mind him being Strika though. The mold could certainly pull it off. As for scale, there's really no point in trying to justify Brawl's alt mode being changed because of said scale issues. I mean jets are as big as cars in this line so who cares if a jeep/truck is the same size as a tank? Blast Off will no doubt be given a new airborne alt mode like a jet since Hasbro seems so worried about scale now.
Indeed. Consider that IF Brawl is repainted/retooled as an APC... then the *ONLY* bot that is possibly originally meant for the team is Blast-Off. Onslaught is a Hotspot/Defensor retool. Swindle's definitely Offroad/First-Aid. Vortex is of course Blades/AlphaBravo.
Why does it have to repainted into somebody we know? Maybe it'll be a completely new guy, part of Cyclonus's team.
