The helicopter mold. So far it's been used for Alpha Bravo, Blades (both Hasbro and Takara), Sky Burst and Stromclash from the Victorion set, Vortex (again one from Hasbro and another from Takara) and TFCC's Spinister. That's a whopping 8 uses of that mold over the last two years.

It's doubtful that mold's gonna survive any more use after Combiner Wars runs its course. HasTak may have to make another heli mold if they decide on making G2 Defensor and Bruticus.

It might be possible for them to "fix" molds as they get old. For example, Generations Thundercracker is a perfectly solid figure, despite being the millionth use of the seeker mold. I don't know how they did it, but it seems very possible for them to be able to restore degraded molds.
