Not new molds, but they have done remolds like Ratbat and Cloud Brawn so maybe an entirely new figure is out of the question, but remolding an existing jet isn't.

Ratbat and Cloud Brawn are both based on pre-existing tooling that originally went unused: Ratbat used the Gen. Scourge mold's alternate head (alternate meaning it's "built into the mold" like the regular head), and Brawn is based on the canceled "GDO" release.
Was scourge the. Designed to be re-tooled into rat bat and at some point it was canceled stateside?
We can only assume those were the original plans. Like many pretools (pre-planned retools), the alternate head was visible in the original's instructions, in this case Scourge's, but ultimately not used. Nowadays a good majority of molds have alternate parts, making the overall process more efficient.
I'd give a total list, but it's really long.
Straight from Scourge's instructions.Emerje wrote:I didn't realize the Ratbat head appeared in the directions for Scourge. I don't read instructions.

Powerglide does. Bombshell can be configured into one, whether it's official or not. Thundercracker and Windcharger are preexisting molds that do not.Tsutsukakushi wrote:Do all the CW wave One legends toys have a 3rd alternate Targetmasters mode?

Remember seeing pics of CW Powerglide and maybe pics of CW Bombshell with 3rd targetmasters modes.
Just wondering if CW Legends Thundercracker and CW Legends Cliffjumper also have 3rd Targetmasters modes or not.
Also wondering if all future CW Legends waves with have toys with 3rd Targetmasters modes or not.

The upcoming blackjack will become Menasor's chestplate, so those that have third modes are less "Targetmaster" modes and more "Combiner Accessory" modes.Tsutsukakushi wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Powerglide does.

Thanks for the info, Been wondering this answer for while. Should have posted this reply weeks ago.

Note: We know the Platinum Edition Insections set is real, at least.I couldn't see any data regarding this in this thread so, from a friend that works at TRU in Canada:
Transformers Generations Devastator
List price $179.99 (Canadian)
SKU 198274
So looks like Devy may be titan class after all? (or just smaller and given an outrageous markup )
He said there was also a listing for the Insecticons as a platinum set for $99.99 (good grief)

Also, $180 Canadian dollars is roughly $150 U.S. dollars.

Do we have a confirmed source or, in case of anonymity, reliability records?
