Transformers/GI Joe series-Or Why I Don't Design Toys

 The Transformers and GI Joe series have both been popular separately but aside from the comics the two have never met. Hasbro intended to have the two lines met, but typically if Joe was popular, the Transformers weren't and vice versa. 

Come 2022 and they finally work something out with the Megatron/Baroness set and followed by the Bumblebee/Stalker set. The catch is the Transformers turn into GI Joe vehicles (a HISS Tank and AWE Striker, respectfully). I also heard rumor of a Soundwave/Zartan and Zaranna set too, with Soundwave being the Thunder Machine

No idea if they intend to make more, but if they asked me here's what I'd have.

Optimus Prime/Duke (APC)

Ironhide/Gung-Ho (MOBAT)

Jazz/Breaker (RAM cycle)

Starscream/Cobra Commander (Rattler)

Thundercracker/Destro (Rattler)

Skywarp/Wild Weasel (Rattler)

Laserbeak/Buzzer (Fang)

Prowl/Wild Bill (Dragonfly)

Metroplex/Hawk (Command Center)

Hound/Scarlett (VAMP)

Sideswipe/Ace (Skystriker)

Wheeljack/Cover Girl (Wolverine)

Powerglide/Flint (Sky Hawk)
