Is it still a re-mold if every part is new and only the transformation is the same?
I say
NO. Reusing a particular transformation scheme has been done plenty of time, especially with simpler toys. Such figures are not considered retools, otherwise almost every Micromaster would be related to one another.
Retools are purely physical in nature, as they involve changing or switching out already existing parts. Reusing transformations is part of the design phase on paper, no existing parts involved. That's the main difference.
The AoE One-Steps had less variety in transformations, having only 4 to 5 schemes. Yet we didn't consider them retools...
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
