ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kitbashing

Kitbashing is like playing with Lego bricks, but with model kits of things like cars, planes, or robots. When we play with Lego, we can mix and match different pieces to make new creations. With kitbashing, we do the same thing with model kits. We take different parts from different kits and put them together to make something new and unique.

For example, we can take the body of a toy car and add wings from a toy plane to make a flying car. Or we can take the legs of a robot and attach them to a toy animal to make a robotic creature. The possibilities are endless!

Kitbashing lets us use our imagination and creativity to make something new and different from the original kits. It's like giving new life to old parts by making them into something totally different.
