I must admit, I haven't seen any mention of a whole new line of reissues for a looooong time... I think all we've had recently are the odd ones like the Universe Soundwave and Insecticons.... other than those, I can't recall any major announcements on more reissues, nor have I seen any in shops/listed online.

he may be talking about the remolds in the classic and ROTF lines?

These have been reissued before so you might get lucky and see them done again.
Hound
Omega Supreme
Both have been reissued before.
Omega just within the last 2 years and can still be found.
Roadbuster
Not likely to ses a reissue.
Takara never had the rights to the figure in the 80's and Hasbro lost the rights long ago.
Runabout
Runamuck
Topspin
Twintwist
To tell the truth I'm not sure about these.
Grimlock
Slag
Sludge
Snarl
Swoop
According to both Hasbro and Takara the original molds for these figures were either lost or damaged beyond repair.
Stunticons
The easy and cheap availability of knock off of these molds makes an offical reissue unlikely.
