It's basically transformers and GI Joe combined. The transforming vehicles were the brands selling point, and they've been testing that with Human Alliance and other TF movie offshoots to see how well it could sell. A lot of M.A.S.K.'s appeal to kids is the vehicle interactions whereas with GI Joe it's more towards military stuff, and military stuff is currently on a downswing a little bit right now(which is why they need to go more unorthodox GI Joe sublines to experiment with those like they did in the 80s-90s when the same happened then).

I hope its not that subpar version they tried to revive in the 90s

Action Man is also a spy line, and had his own cartoon previously. That's probably the version they're going to expand on because spy things tend to do well in the current market. The whole stunt man by day but international spy by night could be an interesting fun property that covers a diverse area of figure interactions.

They've tried this one before, so I could see why they'd want to try again.
