I'm not sure how you mean that, and I suspect you don't quite either. Each one
is basically made from a selection of the
same parts, in different colors. Like Hero Factory, there are a set number of parts and variations of those parts, and every set is built from those (save for a very few parts specific to one set but which usually get used in others down the road). So, all of the skeletons are built from the same parts, again, in different colors. There are only a handful of molds for the armor pieces, and they're re-used on most of them. To illustrate, take a look at some HF sets.
Both Splitface here:

And Jawblade here:

Are based on the same torso (albeit in black, not orange):

Splitface has three different armor piece molds. The 5-unit long armor pieces in dark grey and red, the 5-long wide armor pieces in dark grey, and the large turbine pieces in dark grey.
Jawblade has the same 5-long armor pieces in silver, one in translucent orange, and a few 3-long pieces in silver on his tail.
Same pieces, very different end result.
