Also if we're talking remolds, the Helicarrier could easily have been a repurposed Tidal Wave or Broadside. I'd say Danny Ketch's Motorbike is the most distinctive Ghost Rider bike. As the latter day ones and even Johnny Blaze's one is basically a custom bike with fire wheels.
The SR-71 is one of many X-jet designs and not even one of their better ones.
EG Points to jet design in this crossover logo, once again

If they did a crossover comic they'd have to find a way for the Autobots to push the bleeding heart narrative.

That's what I was thinking, I don't know why Overcracker thought it would look like a Zord (besides, Hasbro owns Power Rangers so it's all good). Give each of the smaller cars their own bot modes and also let them combine to form a larger bot.
I think people are getting way, way too hung up on "iconic" looks of superhero vehicles. Comic fans are used to different artists making their own little twists on things just like we're used to Hasbro revamping Transformer alt modes. It's all about the character(s) associated with them. It doesn't have to be any specific Ghost Rider bike, it just has to look like a bike a Ghost Rider would ride. It just has to look like a Quinn Jet, doesn't have to be any specific one.
Still don't get how we've gotten this far with crossovers and they still haven't done G.I. Joe. Bonus points if they can make it compatible with 4" Joes, but fail that they've got a bunch of recent military vehicles they can borrow transformations from like Hound, Megatron, or Starscream. Heck they could even use Skytread to make a Mauler and Sky Striker Duocon (or I guess Duobot).

That's because it's a remold of SS Jetfire.
I will give you the fuselage up the first "neck" section, but the rest like the nacelles are all new. Typical
I never said it didn't have a lot of new parts.
It's still a retool/remold or whatever the word is that people use.
Edit: Which reminds me here is a comparison between the two for those who want to compare side by side.

Non - mainstream saw FunPub Serpentor and there were a few crossover vehicles as part of a SDCC set (Starscream, Shockwave, and Jetfire) along with JI Joe styled figures of Ravage, Bludgeon, and more from Fun Pub.
