When literally every part is sculpted differently in some way, you're not in re-tool territory anymore. Shared transformation concept, but no enlarged "shared" parts from what I can tell.
So its the equivalent of Combiner Wars streetwise if he was upscaled to a voyager and then compared with Dead End?
This is Beast Hunters "Upscales" all over again. Basically they share transformation and detailing, but the "upscale" disqualifies it from the main definition of "retool". We have:
- Retools: some modified parts
- Reshells: changes the outward appearance while keeping transformation and some minor parts intact
- Down-/Upscale: changes the size of the basic design, but not the toy.
The last one involves changing designs on paper, no actual existing parts are modified.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
