The great thing about Andromon is that he looks like he's breaking down. One leg is practically bare, exposing his gross alien monster flesh. Mis-matched shoulder plates. Panels have clearly cracked or fallen off in other areas, wires dangle like limb veins. There's the whole off-kilter slouch - dude has the height of Shaq, but the posture of an unbalanced stack of laundry. There's a very Frankenstein vibe to it.
Asymmetry is a big part of the Digimon aesthetic, and Andromon delivers that in spades. He just wouldn't be the same if he was repaired to look all nice and even. Being a piece of junk is his charm point!
