Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Just absolutely stunning Ramjet is.

If I ever learn how to use paypal or get a real credit card soon I'll be interested.
My bet options currently is to either mail money or purchase a prepaid credit and put some money in it although I doubt it works outside Canada.

Most of the clear plastic is all on the same tree/part of the same tool. Gray was chosen for a couple of reasons, but chiefly to make the translucent parts of the missile launchers match the look of the original figure's jet mode. (The launchers on the original were gray, white, and blue.) The original sword was also mostly white and silver (with a blue tip), so gray did seem to make some sense for the swords as well.

I believe that is the only new-mold accessory that has been created (other than the 2007 Vector Sigma). Otherwise it has been trying to find existing weapons from Hasbro's existing library of tools, like the Targetmasters from Scoop and swords from Optimus ExPrime that were used for TFSS 4.0, the Construct-Bots weapons that were used for Oilmaster, and Arcee's arsenal that was given to Impactor. There are quite a lot of existing tooling for weapons, so that's where Fun Pub has been looking for the most part whenever they've decided to add more character-appropriate accessories.
