I'll tell you now, if you're going to go bit-by-bot, pick and choose the bots you do it for. Some have very rare parts that go for ridiculous amounts.
The only thing I'm missing from Scorponok is a small handgun for Fasttrack. The last time I checked (a few years ago) it was around the $40US mark for a piece of plastic around an inch long.
Have a look for Thunderwing on E-Bay and you'll see how much some of his individual parts go for.
Trust me though, I know the thrill of hunting for parts to reassemble a figure, I had a lot of fun with that when I first got back into collecting but some figures it's just more economical to get them complete.

Are they even characterized the same way in this Japanese-exclusive anime? Maybe I do need to know!

This is cheaper than 40 -- but I'd say that's still ridiculous. I almost made an offer of 40 total for both sets of Octopunch's crab legs.
