Platinum series reissue Insecticons and Coneheads

[Other]

Well Trypticon breaks the pattern (although if true great, I've been waiting literally years for that) but I had a thought: All the Platinum rereleases (bar Tryp) seen/rumored are 1985 toys, so it is another 30 year celebration.

And a reminder too what the 2014 line 30th anniversary line should have/could have been.

The pattern is more what was released during the reissue line or recently enough that the mold still exists. Trypticon aside, all those listed figures were re-issued in the last decade and Trypticon was used to make Gigastorm for Beast Wars II, without most of his accessories, so he should be intact as well. Platinum figures are low cost(no retools or figures whose mold need maintence), high priced figures released to drain money out of a nostalgic and monied Chinese fanbase(and anyone else whose cashed up and interested).

Oh absolutely. I find it odd to see people excited about Blaster who's been released multiple times recently. But of the recent rereleases it's 1985 figures that are the ones being used (no Ratchet, Starscream, Trailbreaker, Soundwave, Prowl, Seacons, etc)

Trypticon is the odd one out, no recent reissue or mold use and not a 85 toy

Would love to see Triple Changers reissued.

My Tryp is incomplete, so I'm looking forward to a new one
