Most importantly, of course, is Gears! Now, we just need a few more pipeline reviews for Windcharger, Seaspray and Powerglide to have all the 84-85 Autobots in modern form. We need Buzzsaw for the Decepticons.
We already got those in the Prime Wars trilogy. If you missed them, they (or at least quality bootlegs of them) aren't too bad on eBay price-wise.
We got several mini-bots who have been updated in Siege/Earthrise/Kingdom/Legacy style. That's not a compelling reason not to get the last three likewise updated in the next year or so.
AFAIC? Yes, it is. The sizing is still comparable, and the ones they've been doing have been the ones who
weren't covered by Prime Wars molds: Huffer/Pipes, Warpath, Cliffjumper, Cosmos, and now Gears. The only Prime Wars retread was Bumblebee, but Bumblebee's a special treatment character so...

I think the key phrase there is "modern form", those older figures aren't in the post-Prime Wars scale,
Yes, they are. They're all around the same height as ER Cliffjumper
and the altmode size and proportions are about the same, with CJ only being somewhat longer. And I mean, you didn't see sol magnus mention Brawn.

No, they're not. And no, they don't. Except for Powerglide, I will concede you Powerglide. But the others are fine.
Honestly, as far as scale goes, rather than redoing any of them (save Powerglide) as Deluxes, maybe Velocitron Cosmos should be redone as Core-class (because Cosmos was a shortarse even by minibot standards in the cartoon, and I've heard the Velocitron figure is actually kinda tall).
