Well yeah, because the toys available were all vehicles, and it matched the iconic vehicles from the films.
But now we have a T-Rex mold available and it will match the iconic T-rex from that film, the teaser is even a t-rex foot. You guys arent getting a vehicle for this one.
In the Instagram Post, they also tagged Ford, the car manufacturer who made the iconic Ford Explorers used in the film

I'd agree except for:In the Instagram Post, they also tagged Ford, the car manufacturer who made the iconic Ford Explorers used in the film

Chatter around is that we're getting a two pack of sorts, Rexy vs the Ford Explorer

If they're doing the Ford Explorer, I would actually expect (and hope) for a retool and re-shell of either Ectotron or Studio Series Ratchet (or maaaaybe a retool of one of the Dreads; the 2007 Stockade mold would also work but I doubt they'd dig that dinosaur up).
The people speculating Trailbreaker as a basis for the Explorer seem to be overlooking the fact that he's a 2-door vehicle and the Park Drive Ford Explorers were 4-door SUVs. Pretty sure they'd have to do some extra stretching work to make him pull it off, and he'd probably end up with a still-longer backpack.

1. I'm pretty sure the SS molds are off limits for anything but the Movies. The designs technically belong to Paramount and I don't think they allow that type of usage.

Jetfire => X-Spanse

Considering the amount of retooling and new parts that went into X-Panse, its hardly Jetfire anymore. May have just avoided that. no other mold has been used from there for anything else.

2. Even if they could use them, Ratchet is a Hummer, and the dreads are Chevrolet Suburbans and Tahoes. Both are far cries from an Explorer. I doubt either Ford or Chevy would be happy about their designs being used for a rival company's vehicle or on a rival company's vehicle.
3. Ectotron might have worked, but they would have to jack him up to SUV height, and of course tool a new car shell. Trailbreaker is 2 door, but it can easily be retooled into a 4 door, and can pass for a Ford. Unless they are going for an officially licensed vehicle which has not been the case with the previous crossovers. In which case they'd still need to tool a fully licensed Ford Explorer car shell either way.
Trailbreaker is the closest thing Hasbro currently has to a Ford Explorer.
If we're just asking for weird molds they can use for it, they could totally bring back Armada Red Alert. He's even closer to an Explorer:

Bumblebee Camaro
Ecto 1
BttF Time Machine
Jurassic Park Bronco
KITT
IF the JP crossover is the bronco, it gives me hope KITT will be soon. I have a hard time believing the crossover will be a retool og BW Megs...how different could it be from T-Wrecks? All of the others have been really heavy retools of mainline releases...the "shell" is totally different. Making a t rex out of t rex almost seems too lazy for Hasbro.
Although, we are talking about Hasbro...
