They are skipping a year because of the Gi Joe movie.
I thought everyone knew the sarcasm was implied
Gi Joe Movie? After watching the last Transformers Movie, I do not think that I want them to make a Gi Joe Movie. Transformers The Last Knight was truly an incomprehensible atrocity. My 10 Year old Son actually asked me if someone was paid to make that garbage.
Given that they have an extra year, is there any way that Hasbro could consider the Gi Joe and Cobra Maulers that the Club try to put together about 10 years ago? If I remember correctly the mold was available, but the turret mold broke prior to production. That may be a relatively low investment for a Hascon exclusive.
No rhyme or reason for this decision
Of course there's a reason to assume they didn't because some unproduced Mauler repaint concepts shown for RISE OF COBRA.
