Unless the unproduced molds show up at a convention, they are done.
n July of 2007, Hasbro announced that no new Titanium figures would be produced, and that the line would end after the upcoming release of figures already completed: Primal Prime, Soundblaster, Skywarp, War Within Grimlock, and War Within Prowl. But as of six months later, none of those figures had been released, and Hasbro announced that they no longer had any plans to mass-produce or release them.
Several other 6" figures were canceled at much earlier stages in development: Hasbro showed unfinished prototypes of Arcee, Cosmos, Shockwave and War Within Bumblebee (with an additional Cliffjumper head), purely for informational purposes, as they were very clear that they no longer had plans to complete development on those figures. However, the Transformers Collectors Club roundtable has suggested there "may still be hope" for these figures to be produced in some form as part of other toylines.

but I just have this feeling that a couple of these that had molds in the further stages of production could end up in the Universe Line.
In a way, it would be Hasbro's defense in putting out repaints such as Blaster and Dump Load;
it would make the line very eclectic, and more "anything goes".
AND, it would give Hasbro away to say these were "new molds" and "new figures" if they were done in plastic.

That's the way things were with the original Universe line. It was all repaints of figures from previous lines. People complaining about Blaster and Heavy Duty in Universe are either forgetting the first Universe line or are thinking that Universe 2.0 is only new Classics figures.
I agree with both you and Jaw Crusher, that if the unreleased Titaniums were rebuild in plastic, we might still get them afterall. Realistically, if the designs already exist, and maybe a prototype or two, how hard would it be to cast them in plastic? Hasbro owns the designs, and any molds that may exist, so why not use them somehow?
