So, it works like this:
All Crowbots start out with standard issue parts.
These parts are generally of decent quality. Nothing terrible, though some things like the beaks, are downright pig iron grade, and don't last all that long.
Sometimes some part will fail on a CrowBot, leading to their demise. Their parts are often cleaned up, and resold as replacement parts for other Crows. Sometimes they're even retooled and remachined, though that's rare.
Sometimes an enterprising CrowBot will find success and fortune, allowing him to replace many standard issue parts, from the carapace armor, to the claws, the shuriken cannons, the undercarriage, etc.
Eventually, these CrowBots share very few actual parts with the standard crows; they're faster, bigger, and even tougher all around. These tend to become generals, Inquisinators, heroes, and even members of the Authority Party.
