85 Seekers <--- retooled MP Starscream
Bumblebee ---> Cliffjumper ---> Hubcap (and maybe a ltd exclusive Bumper)
Trailbreaker ---> Hoist
Huffer ---> Pipes
Brawn ---> Outback
Windcharger ---> Tailgate
Gears ---> Swerve
Jazz ---> Stepper (Ltd Ex)
Inferno ---> Grapple ---> Artfire (LE) ---> Hauler (LE)
Wheeljack ---> Slicer (LE)
Mirage ---> Clear "Invisibility" Mirage (LE)
Hound ---> Detritus (LE)
Tracks ---> Road Rage (LE) ---> black Tracks (LE)
Skids ---> Crosscut (LE)

Sunstreaker would be tricky as there's no obvious repaint/retool potential, unless they make him the white police car from Diaclone and give him a new identity. It'd work as an LE (like Tiger Track).
You forgot MP-11 Starscream ---> Thundercraker ---> Skywarp. I'm sure Takara would love to do TC and SW in the new mold to sell a few extra toys to us Seeker fans.
