What reissues would you like to see for the movie's 30th anniversary?

As many have observed, 2016 is the twentieth anniversary of Beast Wars. But it is also the thirtieth anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie.

What reissues (potentially with retools or new features) would people like to see done to commemorate the occasion? We're getting more-or-less proper updates of Blurr, Scourge, and Galvatron and there's that snazzy new MP Hot Rod, but it'd be nice to see the classic molds get some love. Especially since TFTM had eleven brandnew toolings made just for it back in '86.

I would love to see 'em all:
*Ultra Magnus, ideally with the Powered Buggy if the molds can be found
*Transformers Collection-style reissues of Hot Rod and Kup, in cartoon colors. Blurr, Cyclonus, and Scourge too if at all possible (and if not, a Haywire-Fracas-Nightstick 3-pack. We know that they at least still have the molds for the black-and-gray Targetmaster Partners even if they don't have all their wielders)
Rodimus Prime
Galvatron in cartoon colors
Wheelie in cartoon colors
Wreck-Gar, ideally with either a stick-on cloth beard or retooled to allow a separate beard (either cloth or soft plastic) to be pegged into his chin.
Gnaw
Generations Arcee with cartoon colors (mainly consisting of ditching certain black paint apps and casting her guns in gray plastic).

I'm in favor of the whole gang (if possible) plus their 28-years-belated lady member getting reissued together to celebrate the movie's 30th anniversary. What about the rest of you?

For G1 reissues: anything. Anything at all. Some of the Generations releases in Platinum have been cool, but some snazzy, fancy deco G1 reissues could have been great.

Oh, and Armada Unicron. Let's give that mold one last, glorious run.

I thought they did pretty good with the 25th anniversary edition. Maybe they could re-release that.

Unicron.

Yes, I know the original toy never got released and the mold probably doesn't exist anymore, but I can dream.

Hot Rod with metal feet re-issue please. I really need to replace by old broken one.

I'd heard rumor the mold was coming out one more time this year in Platinum during Botcon weekend, but it was just that. No word on deco, head sculpt (original or 2010 version), but part of the rumor was that the price will be obscene.

Not a "reissue" per say, but I wouldn't mind seeing a limited release of G1 Unicron and G1 Arcee. I don't think they actually finished G1 Arcee, but I'd still like to see it.

Well ... I have all the original releases for any Classics versions of the characters. And they're planning on platinum sets that would have reissued anything I could suggest.

Y'all know the Cyclonus and Armada Platinum set? That, only G1 molds. Not necessarily half clear. Though that would still be neat.
