I've also been thinking, it would be super easy to design some kind of base to put the turret module on and have it be a defensive structure for the campsite. Even though I was apprehensive about the Snow Cat at first and was disappointed that they weren't doing a tank, I think the value proposition on the Snow Cat with all its accessories and the overall quality is carrying it hard.

I've also been thinking, with the Ramen Toy "pseudo-MOBAT" on the market this year, I wonder if Hasbro feels like when they do a tank, just doing a MOBAT isn't gonna cut it. I'm sure people would have bought it, but I think they want to do something a bit grander than just "we did basically the same thing as Ramen but slightly better." The Mauler would be an even more impressive environment to display Joes around, with two driver seats accessible without removing the turret, as well as a gunner seat on the turret itself. I think the image Hasbro wants to show it off with is a re-creation of the G.I. Joe #1 cover, and that tank is too big for just a MOBAT to play the role.
