Why not? Bludgeon is a big fan favorite, and the kids will be aware of him.
If I were Hasbro, I'd be weary of making it Brawl, over the fan rage of "ITS NOT BRUTICUS".
As for Guzzle....the thing I'm thinking of here, is that he's got almost the same head.
He could be like Cyclonus and not get a retool, though.
Cyclonus was repainted several times. Universe, Henkei, Battle in Space, Shatterred Glass, and the exclusive ehobby 3 pack, also I believe a japanese credit card company made him strafe from the technobots. My point is, he will be reused, like you said, maybe not a reTOOL, but certainly reissued.
As far as Brawl being a no, fan is rage is normally at the bottom of their concerns.
