In a way, it's nice that they all feel like a unified group with similar, yet still distinguishable (from the waist up, at least) robot mode structures and the same new play gimmick with Titan Master compatibility and head utilization, replacing the G1 "cold-sparks" gimmick. Was this Hasbro's genius pre-engineering at work the whole time or lazy/cost-cutting R&D?
Not to be pedantic, but Repugnus is edging the part-sharing side of things, as he shares even less parts with Twinferno than Grotusque does upon closer inspection:
Grotusque
- all of the leg, robot and beast
- main torso piece
- weapons
Repugnus
- Robot mode feet swivels (beast mode legs are all new)
- Robot upper leg
- fists and upper arms from Grotusque.
The Titan Master is pretty much a given, head aside.
I wouldn't call that pedantic pointing out those finger points. Thanks for the clarification. It is interesting that Repugnus has some common parts with Grotosque NOT shared with Doublecross.
Even if a lot of parts have new molding, like Repugnus' calves, they still share the exact same engineering. There's no mistaking that all three Monsterbots "borrow" physically and conceptually from one another in their design and production.
