Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame: Aside from the fact that the [[Toys/LEGOMinifigures Evil Knight]] was once employed by each line's respective BigBad (Cedric the Bull and Lord Vladek), there is no connection between this Knights' Kingdom line and [[Toys/LEGOCastle the Knights' Kingdom line released in 2000]]. This was most likely just Franchise/{{LEGO}} choosing to [[RecycledTitle recycle titles]] rather than create new ones.

** As shown [[https://web.archive.org/web/20180922025824/http://www.mikerayhawk.com/castle.htm here]], Mike Rayhawk's original concept for the Castle of Morcia would have had more than just [[GoodColorsEvilColors blue and red]] transformation to show whether King Mathias or Lord Vladek was ruling Morcia. Under Mathias's rule, it would have had a lion-shaped gate, and under Vladek's rule, the entire castle would have had a a scorpion-like appearance. When The LEGO Group expressed doubt that such a castle transformation could work without taking it apart and rebuilding it, Mike Rayhawk proved them wrong with an animation mock-up in Maya, showing the lion castle transforming into the scorpion castle without need of disassembly! In the end, though, the final product was simplified so the transformation of the castle was limited only to changing the colors, not the appearance, of the castle.
