    I'd guess it's an Optimus or Bumblebee mold. Which mold do you know of with the most official repaints? Include images if you got 'em! : )

    The Classics Seeker mold was up to around 31 uses. I think that was including stuff like the CHMS figures. But I think that mold was definitively proven to be the record holder.

    My money would probably be on the Classics seeker mold. By the time Naccelle hit from the TFSS hit, the mold was supossedly showing signs of severe degredation from what I heard.

    More recently though, I think the CW helicopter has been used quite a bit too. Off the top of my head: Alpha Bravo, Blades (CW & UW), Vortex(CW & UW), the two from Victorion, the same two from UW Megatronia, Rotor from UW Ruination, TFSS Spinster...

    If you consider remolds that title has to go to the GoBots / Spychangers and their insane number of repaints...even taking just the Spychangers Lamborghini....

    Almost certainly the classics seeker mold. Nothing in recent years even comes close.

    For straight-up redecos with little to no remolding, I'll second the classics seeker mold (even not including Ramjet and the remolds)

    G1 Combaticons certainly feel like contender to me.

    G1 Bruticus (metal and plastic chest versions)
    Battle Gaea
    G2 Bruticus
    Baldigus
    Ruination
    Arctic camo Ruination
    Desert camo Ruination
    Reissue/Encore/Whatever Bruticus

    (maybe not the highest number, but considering each iteration includes five toys, it's up there.)

    The only way I think the Classics Seeker mold doesn't take the crown is if we're discounting tooling changes.

    Classics seeker is definitely the top. I think Classics Optimus is up there, as well.
