I’d be perfectly happy with the 25th retooled vehicles in vintage 80s boxes. Hopefully reusing existing molds would fre up some capitol make more In the future, if the line sells well.

Yeah they did a good job fixing a lot of the issue on the vintage vehicles. The old Rattler amd CLAW were really fragile. The new ones are great.

If it ends up being just a re-hash of the 25th anniversary stuff I won't be disappointed but will feel a little mislead since this is being marketed as a retro line. I will still do my best to buy up all the figures but as I think about it I will probably skip out on the Hiss and Awe Striker because I have them already from the 25th anniv line. I do hope this first wave is successful and we do see more iconic vintage vehicles released though - especially the WHALE.
From your lips to God’s ears my friend.

There were some slight changes to some of them. Bumble Bee has a new cartoon accurate face. And Star Scream has hands that can accommodate a scaled down Megatron in alt mode that comes with the Seeker. Prime doesn’t come with the trailer. While Soundwave, his tapes, and the Devy set seem to be pretty much dead on reissues. There are slight changes to the Star Wars figures too. Mainly in the hands but nothing that I felt ruined the figures.

They are listed as Retro series in both Walmart’s site and on Bigbadtoystore (whatever is still available anyway). The only line that I am aware of that used Classics was the 2008-2016 Dc and MotU, which were Marvel Legends style remakes.
