Well, to be honest, I've only seen the Gladiator and Knight, and not the
Ninja, so I can't make guarantees of the contents of that set. The
Gladiator's torso is made up of individual bricks, a crossbar for the
"backbone" and shoulders, and a turntable.
The Bots also include a shield made up of several large parts, but for the
Knight these also function as wings, and for the Gladiator they're armor
plates no less useful than Technic's recent body-panels (whatever they're
called).

My Insectoid light-n-sound element doesn't see a lot of use, but you're
right--the utility of a sound brick is sharply reduced when that brick
includes a voice telling you what to do with the brick...
