- G1 Wheeljack
- G1 Sunstreaker
- G1 Mirage
- G1 Dinobots (debatable, but likely)
And reverse-engineering them is tricky, but especially costly business. So no reissues for these guys.

Full toys are still expensive as you'd be recreating a toy from scratch, from the design on paper to the new toy. With reissues being made from readily available molds, with no R&D and legal costs (think patents) on top, I don't need to ask how expensive new mold "reissues" would have to be in order to be cost-effective.
And now back to our regular topic

I still have not a single G1 figure maybe when i get some moneyI can understand. I started off late, missing out on "Encore" Convoy, "Henkei!" Skyfire, and a few other pieces. So my problem is that I can either pay premium and pray that they are slightly better than C-9 or just change my collection-based rules. But that is a different story.
However... I am assuming that box condition, much less if it is a reissue or not, are not an issue for you. Because if that is true, here you go: http://tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/159/
It is the "Encore" version of "G1" Ironhide. They also have Ratchet for sale, but I focused more on this one for you. Just know that unlike Ratchet, they only have this in a C-9 box... Which means that there will be some dents and dings on the box.
Either way... I assume that the "Arms Micron" version of Ironhide will cost as much as this Ironhide. So either way, you now have an option.
Thank you very much. I just remembered when i was like 5, i played with my cousins TF jet. If i remember correctly, it was a G1 seeker....Thundercracker maybe? Anyway im gonna see if my cousin still has his collection and is willing to donate me some XD
