I always thought the clone being lesser was a joke.

[u/TerraSollus → u/quantummufasa]

I assume it’s more of a “if you clone something it can never be perfect ergo the more you do it the worse it gets” the original mauler probably died decades ago. The Mauler Twins don’t know who the clone is, both of em, so they treat each other roughly equally. If one realizes he’s older then he treats the other as a slave until the younger one gets fed up and kills him. Which I imagine only takes a few days

[u/WinterH-e-ater → u/TerraSollus]

It's certainly how the first Mauler died, then the clone made the process like it is today

[u/The_SystemError → u/WinterH-e-ater]

Didn't they literally tell that to robot in S1?

The moment I saw the Mauler making a clone I knew what was going to happen.

[u/Calm-Tree-1369 → u/The_SystemError]

Yeah, I dunno why people theorize over this when it's explicitly been stated. Mauler Twins keep their system going for that very reason.
