The Plague (including Munitia) is getting a LOT of attention in the current WWIII storyline...!
Personally I'd like to see the continuity continue. There's so much that's intrinsic to the characters now, like SE & SS, Destro & Baroness, Flint, Cobra Commander, Zartan, etc, that has come out of the stories that've been told since the Marvel run started (helped along by the filecards following the comics a lot). Note that DDP tried the Reloaded series and did a Sigma 6 mini but it's the core continuity that's carried on getting published. Not to mention its continued use packaged with the toys.
If they start over, I'm sure they'd be able to tell fine stories with nice art but I wouldn't have the emotional connection. They'd have to base so much of it on the existing comics that it'd just feel like they were going over old ground, or alternatively the characters would be so different I'd again have less of an inclination to care what happened to them.
I just have a horrible feeling that Hasbro's going to do what they did with Transformers and shift things with the brand to be more in-line with the movie (and any changes it's made to the mythos) for the sake of public recognition...
