We have to allow for the fact that there ARE fans with crazy amounts of space dedicated to singular toylines they collect (or multiple lines, for the really well-to-do sort). Think about this; there are Star Wars 4" collectors that have virtually every vehicle, every creature, and armies of Stormtroopers and Clone Troopers and Battle Droids, and whatever else.
There's 4" Joe collectors with similar collections of all the vehicles and armies of goons. I've seen at least a couple of collections of both the vintage ARAH -and- the 25A stuff in the same collection. It's like.. entire basements dedicated to collecting Joe or Star Wars.
It's not MOST collectors. But it's more than a couple. All that stuff combined takes up way more space than what we can conceive of Hasbro kicking out for Classified before 2030, even if that includes a Night Raven or a Moray or something.

Already, Hasbro has proven that the Classified fanbase will support four very large vehicles as well as a bunch of smaller vehicles and closing in on 200 figures. Quite honestly, at that point it becomes almost trivial to wonder if at least 10,000 collectors will find a spot for a Night Raven. They probably will.
It's just a matter of whether or not Hasbro thinks they can make it for a price fans will pay. That becomes the big question.

Yeah, there's a bit of delusion running through some of the fanbase. The Skystriker, the Tomahawk, the Night Raven, the Whale, the Mamba, the Condor, the Demon, a (remastered) APC, and yes, even the Moray would all be ridiculously big. I love them all as much as the next fan but unless you've got yourself a mansion or ranch, there's just nowhere to put it all, not to mention how awkward they would be to handle and mess about with.

The Whale, the Tomahawk, and the NIght Raven are all my favorite vehicles in the line, but I actually HOPE they don't make them because I have a thousand square foot house and any one of those would require its own room, basically. I hope they don't make the Whale the way I hope Black Series never makes a Falcon. Like if I were rich I'd commission one to be made for me, but I am but a mere mortal and I ain't got space for those.

As to what I'd like to see that's still reasonable:

Joes: Silver Mirage, Wolverine, Sky Hawk, Conquest, Sharc, Polar Battle Bear, Devilfish, Desert Fox, Mudfighter

Cobra: ASP, FANG, Water Moccasin, Night Landing, Firebat, Thunder Machine, Wolf, Sea Ray, Dreadnok Cycle, Stiletto, Imp. AGP, Despoiler, Evader, maybe even a HISS II (man, I wish)

Maybe a Mobat or Mauler, and Destro's Dominator as Haslabs.

Here's another video with a 3D printed Tomahawk. Surprisingly it's footprint isn't that much bigger than the Dragonfly. Mostly due to the Dragonfly having such a long tail. The Tomahawk obviously has a wider body and the body is basically the whole length of the vehicle so it takes up more space in that aspect. Don't get me wrong, it would still be a monster and eat up a huge amount of space, but it isn't as crazy as say the Skystriker (ignore the blades haha):

 
The caveat I’d add to the Tomahawk there is that it’s truer to the OG in dimensions, whereas Classified generally scales bigger and more realistic than the ARAH ones did. A Classified Tomahawk would be way bigger than the 3D print there, have proper seating, etc.

True, though there are people saying the Rattler is a bit undersized compared to the vintage version. So maybe they could fudge it a little with the Tomahawk as well?
 
Yeah, I'd say it's hard to know what they'd do exactly. When we found out the Rattler was coming, I fully expected it to be about 5-8% bigger than it ended up being so...
 
Man, I know it's TECHNICALLY too small, but if they made a Tomahawk the LENGTH of the Dragonfly, I could make that work regardless of the, ah, girth of the chopper.

What about a Locust that is bulked up a little, maybe a two seater?

I don't need a second two-seater copter, but I hope they do that at a retail or Pulse-exclusive price so folks who skipped the 'fly can get a helicopter for their figures. I do hope they make the FANG at retail too because that thing has zero regard for the life and safety of its operator and it's hilarious. The FANG is the Cobra equivalent of a TIE fighter.
 
I desperately need them to make the FANG. Absolute disregard for pilot safety, just as Cobra Commander intended.
But seriously: FANG, with a Cobra Air Trooper.

Right, having a nice little helicopter would be great, but I mean two seats next to each other... Basically make the Locust a liiiiiiiittle more like a Little Bird.

If we're talking helicopters, and because the pattern says it's gonna be Cobra next year. I think it would be amazing if the Joe team went crazy and finally brought this into our lives. I've loved this design since it first appeared in the comic. It's gotta be or could be about the same footprint as a 6" Tomahawk (maybe even shorter) and they could do some really cool stuff with cargo compartment.

And it would be great to see something new one of these times.
