Radial compressor design of TS1400 may not be ideal for a turboprop as PT6 and some others are of axial compressor type. However material science aspects of that power level should apply to an axial compressor turboprop design as well. TEI should make a 1500 hp class turboprop and also should make a 3500 hp turboshaft and a similar power turboprop as well. I mean why not?
TEI is also about to sign a contract for assembly and partial production of LM2500 & LM500. This is the first step with an extension for LM500.
I can understand why you suggest TEI to make 1500 HP class turboprop. It can integrate to AKINCI and Hürkuş. Also 3500 hp class turboshaft can use on T-929/T-925 but I can not think a suitable platform for 3500 hp class turboprop. Could you inform us to why you want 3500 hp turboprop?
Something like C 130? Just a guess I think it's around that power?
Actually because there will already be much of the groundworks done for a turboprop engine when a turboshaft is made and a turboprop can be made with a relatively small effort. Such an engine can be used to make propeller passenger planes, cargo planes, seaplanes and perhaps hovercraft too. I am actually unaware of the power levels of our existing turboprop planes but they should be around this ballpark.
A General Electric Catalyst-like turboprop would be very useful in UAVs.

Wankels wear out easily. You need to replace them once in a while. Also they burn motor oil.Do you need a light and compact engine or generator for MBTs?
Here is the rotary diesel engines!

Would diesel rotary engines be generators for future electric MBT's?
The 11.6-Liter, Big-Block Diesel Rotary Was Just Too Good for This World
Brap in peace, you magnificent motor.
Can Wankel rotary engines be used as generators?
Answer (1 of 2): Wankel engines can be used to drive electrical generators but they are not usually suited to this role. The Wankel rotary engine’s main advantage is excellent power to weight ratio. Power to weight is important for aircraft, motorcycles and racing cars … but its not usually an i...www.quora.com

Wankel AND diesel?
I'm not very knowledgeable about engines but I don't think an engine strong enough to fly these vehicles cannot be derived from the TS1400. Also, I'm not sure if a decent turbofan will come out of a civilian engine with a radial compressor, which is difficult to use in the military. Of course, it would be more correct to ask @Nilgiri .
