Coming to us from TFW2005 boards member SofosXIII is a new Transformers Collaborative listing from Gamestop’s preorder system currently labelled as “AF TRA PROJECT TROOPER 1“. Its price is $89.99 and it is due for release in 2023.
What exactly this may be is anyone’s guess at the moment, with board members’ predictions ranging from the likes of Star Wars and GI Joe to other properties such as Starship Troopers.
We recommend taking this as a rumor until we receive more information. Until then you can let us know what you think it’ll turn out to be in the discussion thread!

Now that’s one I’m excited to see. Machkick pre-tool?

There might be a My Little Pony Collaborative figure in the near future, I found this trademark for an action toy called Equestron, it sounds like a cross between Equestria and a Transformer who's name ends with tron.

I was just thinking the same thing!

I know what it is! I thought it was something newer then the gi-joe crossover! I just wanted an Apocalypse Now Whirl based off the the tomahawk mold or a commander scale WW1 tank.

Transformers x GI Joe Collaborative Megatron Hiss Tank & Baroness Revealed! – Transformers News – TFW2005

Um, hate to break this to you. It's been established that it's a GI Joe x TF. Being a HISS tank turning into Megatron.
BWIguanusfan2
what if it's a film about war? it could be historical, non-fictional or fiction. like a Saving Private Ryan or Apocalypse Now crossover? what if it's just a character who's a soldier?

Now that it's been revealed, thank you everyone for joining me on this journey lol I had fun and never thought I'd get to be the original source for a listing!

Hopefully the next one is an Optimus Prime and Duke 2-pack. I’m very excited for this.

HAH! Wow. I actually kinda anticipated that~!

Interest seems low key, but I'm keeping mind Joe fans have typically waited at the dock for their figures. They have it much tougher than us.

It's just been revealed. Not the vintage scale USS Flagg I had dreamt of…

I don't think it has to be super complex, the only complex part would be the drivers compartment and where that goes in bot mode.
One can hope that's somehow integrated into the chest because it's central alt mode kibble, but look at this simple custom.

Of course I hope it's not as much of a shell former, but that isn't even Leader in Mass is it?

The hiss is mostly boxy as well lending the inner space to whatever is necessary for transformation. I'm fully expecting the troop transport aspect to be axed.
I hope the nose of the Hiss is encorperated into the bot design in some way and not just thrown over the shoulder like the custom.

Ironhide's design is perfect.

Primes design not so much, I have no idea that he turns into a Hiss…

Hopefully the cockpit kibble will be better utilized than Ectotron
View attachment 29411627
But Hiss cockpit shoulder halves wouldn't look that bad.
I think ultimately they may choose split HISS nose onto the shoulders or if we are extremely lucky, split the cockpit horizontal and put half on his back like a Seeker.
Another thought is that, they're leaving money on the table if they don't make a BATT / Vehicon, / HISS driver inspired troop builder

I definitely hope it'll be CHUG scale, all the other Collaboratives have been (more or less) so I'll be surprised if it's not. And anything that scales with a 3 3/4 figure would be huge (Commander-sized at least, and with high complexity), unless the vehicle mode is a bike or something small.
T-Hybrid
The other possibility is a Generations figure retooled/repainted to fit the theme and then an exclusive Classified figure with exclusive accessories/blast effects. For *both* figures.
That would appeal to collectors from *both* fandoms and give them the opportunity to sell something like a Cobra Commander with exclusive G1 Megatron blaster. Or vice versa, and the TF figure could have an exclusive 5MM compatible version of Barbecue's flamethrower.
Stuff like that could easily turn in to a $90 bundle.
Dinobot Snarl
I'm expecting something slightly bigger than Leader with a driver, the fact that it's marketed towards the Joe market first has me thinking it may be 3- 3/4s compatible
Optimus1138
It's almost as much as the Jurassic Park set was, so based on that I'd hope it would be a Leader and a Deluxe, but it does sound like it's only one figure, so we'll see.
