It is similar enough to get a repaint I will agree with thar, however, there's 2 things that would probably stop them from doing that. Not sure Armada Thurst warrants an upgrade to voyager class, and seeing as How the Armada re-makes in Legacy have been at least trying to keep their original gimmick functional in some way, I don't see them just repainting Jiahxus gray and green and calling it a day. His spinning wing gimmick is a fairly prominent part of Thrust, like Hot Shot's axel-zooka, and Starscream's shoulder cannons. They'd also need to completely retool the chest for thrust.
Seems like a lot of work just for Thrust.
I don't find any of that argument especially compelling, and the counter-argument is: it's cheap. We're not going to get spinning wings, wouldn't it be better to get something than nothing?
