To be fair, there is also a distinct line between 'retool/pretool' and 'shared engineering'. If a transformation works, there's no rule that says two distinct molds can't have the same transformation design. We've just gotten so used to the practice of pre-planned shared molds that the automatic reaction when a figure is revealed is "Who is this retooled from?/Who can it be retooled into?".
Combiner Wars Silverbolt, it's always Combiner Wars Silverbolt.

Everybody is Shockwave... who was retooled from Silverbolt.

Now, 10 points to anyone who can explain the fact that Silverbolt was really Shockwave in disguise.

Silverbolt of Universe 66666666666666666666666666666, created a portal and it warpped his appearance so much that he looked like Shockwave
Meanwhile the Silverbolt of Universe 99999999, died in a low level flying accident and was reincarated as Shockwave in another Universe and the story yet to told is called "That time I got reincarnated as Shockwave!!" 😁 😁

Or that time I used Shockwave and Shockwave to make a comic about Shockwave...

But in the end, though, we all have a little Shockwave in all of us. Mostly the microplastics that will give us cancer later.

It is fun to see bits of shared engineering or just "shared ways of doing __________," even years later, like seeing something that works the way the Alternators did way down the line.
