I love Zarana's character. I'm just sick to death of the constant over-focus on her being related to Zartan and having nearly everything revolve around him and in his direction.
Enough already. As for Zandar being useless, consider the brothers. How are Zandar and Zartan the same, how are they different? What kind of stories can be told?

But she was conceived as Zartan's sister. And she's had plenty of standalone moments in the mythos. She even managed to stick around in the DIC toons, well after Zartan was gone for good. And she had a pretty prominent role in the comics too.

In the past 20 years though, she's been Zartan's nursemaid/"girlfriend"/biggest fan. DDP was awful for this. For the eight years they had the license, Zarana did nothing except talk to or about or interact with Zartan. And Hama had her following him around for ten years. I'd love to see Zarana & Zandar together for once, the Dreadnok Twins, finally fleshed out as a pair of eerie biker twins!

Well I hope you get what you want. I just kinda think you have a lot of requirements for it. Zandar is very underdeveloped, but I'd say Zarana has been treated pretty well over the years. She's the only Dreadnok outside of the original three that had any staying power. Or at least that was my impression.
But again. No malice. I look at my favs through my own lens too. And I genuinely hope Hasbro can pump out a Zandar for you!

Not just for me, for everyone!
All I want for Zandar is what's already happened for Zarana and for Zartan. A bio on gijoe.com, that mentions Zandar is Zarana's twin, a Classified figure, and greater marketing and use in media with Zarana. When it's already been done for the other two, it's not asking for anything extraordinary. Just saying.

How many independent storylines has Zarana had in the IDW Hamaverse continuation?

Honestly, I don't think any of the Dreadnoks have had a completely independent storyline in the IDW continuation, except Zartan, but Zarana has certainly been around and not just following Zartan like a puppy. I've only read over the IDW series once, so I cannot remember everything that happened in it accurately, but Zarana spent a few issues traveling around with Road Pig and also a few issues with Baroness, helping to train Dawn Moreno, before Snake Eyes's memories got downloaded into Dawn's brain and then I think Mindbender, or Venom in Mindbender's body (can't remember), fired her from Cobra and she returned to the Dreadnoks, where they had a few scraps with the Revanche Cyberninja group. Don't think they've been seen for a few issues, now.
