I sincerely hope so.

I want to see this now. Maybe they'll dig up some unused G2 color schemes we don't even know about. Maybe we'll get Ramjet in BotCon Dirge colors. Anything but a reissue of Earthrise colors.
As someone who missed the Coneheads the first time, I am personally happy with re-issues. But I hope we get the rest of the unused G2 color schemes and Botcon SG Dirge. I mean, including the rumored Nacelle, already have most of the Botcon Seekers released. I mean we got Red Wing!
I haven't heard of that but it sounds fun.
I was thinking about it earlier, and there's one more Optimus I would love to see in Legacy... or Studio Series, whatever.
I've got the original toy this is based on, and while cool... the two probably have as many differences as similarities.
I want Beast Hunter Optimus with his show-accurate body, even more so his show-accurate alt mode, and most of all, his show-accurate arm cannon and Gatling gun!

Unfortunately, given their track record with the other Prime designs in Legacy so far, the current Hasbro team is more likely to G1-ify that design rather than leave it show-accurate.
Don't forget a proper face mask, the original toy got stuck with the horrible lips face, while the Takara Nemesis verison actually got the face mask and looks hell of a lot better, I never really liked seeing OP toys having lips and on that mold it was terrible, the face was rather squished, just add a face plate and it looks hell of a lot better!
Yeah, for a better go at BH Prime, I'd be more inclined to hope APC Toys eventually gives him the similar treatment they've done to a lot of their other Prime KOs.
I could see a GUOP remold into BH Prime.
Possible, new listings.
The main benefit of Core class Beast Wars and Beast Machines toys means they'd be closer in scale to how the Maximals, Predacons, and most Vehicons* were much smaller than the Autobots and Decepticons in those two cartoons and their related tie-in media.
*Tankor is the notable exception, since he was so much bigger than the other Vehicons and Maximals. His Generations Thrilling 30 Deluxe toy is pretty much already in scale with the Autobots and Decepticons.

Oh, right, I forgot about that part...
Are you thinking of the early Japanese catalog pic that had the conehead's wings on unaltered first-year Seeker bodies?

My thoughts on that old picture:
1: The cons are attacking a secert Autobot base
2: My eyes were drawn to the road ways and I spotted a red cliffjumper in vehicle mode
3: On the mountain its self, a Blue & Red Seaspray + a Comsos in his standard colours
4: On the ground by OP is a grey/brown Powerglide
5: I wish someone would kind of recreate that with modern figures

I saw those while looking for the scan I was thinking of but, no. I think we're getting the Trust repaint from that image though. In the image I remember, the Starscream and Skywarp conheads wings also matched their main body color and had red and purple strips respectively. The Thundercracker Thrust though had blue wings, black rear wings and the red part was silver.
I have been wondering if that was possible, ever since I first saw it. I am surprised it took this long for someone to post a pic.
I'm sold. Someone make it happen.
