It shares some parts and engineering with SS-86. The hinge between the wheels is a tell tale sign of SS-86 Ironhide.
And the feet are very much slightly retooled Siege / Earthrise feet.
Granted, there's a lot of retooling and reworking done to the mold, but there are a few shared parts here and there.
The hinges are the dead giveaway that it's not even close to being the same. The hinge parts are on different sides completely. On both the Siege and SS86 molds the lower leg has the two outside hinge pieces and the flap has the central piece. On this, they're on the opposite sides. Meaning new parts entirely.
The lower legs on SS86 Ironhide are completely different otherwise. No hollow parts on the inside and the way the knees work and how the upper legs are attached are completely different as well. Not to mention how the feet attach and work.
The legs on this are most similar to the Siege mold but again, the wheels are pinned in. In order for that to work, the legs would need to be new parts entirely which they are as again, the hinges are different. The tabs and ports are on the opposite sides as well.
Even the feet and how they work are different. There's a double hinge on the sides of the feet of this figure as they flip all the way around to the inside of the legs for transformation. The SS86 mold has the hinges on the backs of the feet. The Siege mold has them on the sides but the hinges are much thinner and the feet themselves don't have enough room to rotate around 270 degrees as they lack the double hinge and the lower legs and vehicle flaps lack the space needed to store the feet inside the van.
There are four lights...I mean, no shared parts.
