It's an original Sludge with a Classic box (I use the term 'Classic' as I don't consider it to be a reissue considering it's an all new design sans character art when compared to the original G1 box).

If you don't want to consider them reissues in the 5FDPverse, that's up to you, but technically they are reissues and considered so by the wider fan community. (reference)

So, just out of curiosity, does this mean that you also don't consider Collector's Edition (not the exclusive repaint/new characters, I mean toys like Thundercracker, Skywarp, Ironhide etc.) Transformers Collection, Commemorative Series, Hasbro's Classics and Universe style G1s, 2010 Predaking, new Sixshot etc. as not being reissues then? I don't mean to challenge you, I'm just curious to know how you'd categorise these toys under your standards - do you consider all these toys to be G1s with variant packaging (and in some cases, toy variations - like blue eyes on TFC Sideswipe, Inferno and Grapple, or cartoon colours on TFC Starscream etc.) as opposed to being reissues?

Read what I wrote again I was referring to the box only as 'Classic', not the toy, as your initial question implied that it was 'a reissue box'.

In regards to the toy, if it was a 'Classic Sludge' and not a G1 1985 Sludge, then yes, it would be a reissue as there are only minor differences when compared to the original including the blanked-out copyright information that you mentioned.
