I own that Missing Link Convoy -- it's fantastic. If you're not a fan of the Matrix chamber in every Optimus' chest nowadays, you can pop the whole thing out to have the original Diaclone seats (which I believe are scaled to the Diaclone reboot Dianauts?) The transformation despite the improved articulation is still very quick and smooth, and the robot mode is a wonderful blend of its original robust chunkiness and modern joints with *really* nice ratcheted elbows and knees. Hell, even tilting the foot up swings out a hidden heelspur! The trailer is pretty much your typical G1 trailer, but they've removed the original Roller launcher in favor of a removable combat deck.

It's pricey, and while there's a toy deco and a cartoon deco I think if you're gonna lean in the direction of "the toy but updated" you gotta go all the way, which the toy deco does. I really can't get enough of the fact the sticker detailing is now sculpted and painted.
