Multiple sprite enemies and bosses

Can anyone help me with this? I’m making a game that has giant enemies (like two screens high) and I was wondering how to make individual parts move like a body would (like the Death Egg Robot).

It looks like you need to use broadcasts and a different sprite for each part. or tons of costumes. you pick.

If it were me, I'd try to use clones. I'm not any good at animating but you can look up videos or images that show you how to make a walking animation. I know that that's what a lot of people do.

I can animate sprites, but I need to know how to make multiple sprites move as if they are a single entity.

Does it have to be a different sprite or can it be a clone?

I need my sprite to have arms, legs, torso, and head (this is a two screen high boss sprite)

I would use variables to link the body movements with the separate pieces

Can you show me how that would be done?

Yeah give me a minute or two to make a sprite like that

Hmm I'm trying to make a multi sprite boss, I cannot help, probably using clones can help so you don't have to go to multiple sprites to receive or make a broadcast but if you want to make the hitbox of the boss somewhere in a part, that might be hard
