Sorry, I just don't see it. While at first glance they are similar, they are replicas of the same thing so why wouldn't they be? But there are a lot of subtle differences between the two including model lines, components, screws, lights, etc.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like a recast to me.
Then why delete his comment, block him and then delete other people's comments about it??

I think you’re looking at a different version of the nickatron trap, stunt vs hero, the HGC trap seems to be a copy or one of nickatron’s hero traps, not the stunt trap you used as comparison. The telltale part are the faux welds behind the rods on the side, they have the exact same pattern on both the stunt and the hero.

It says a lot when they deleted Nickatrons comments on the original post, blocked him, and deleted the post when the heat got turned up.
So they uploaded another post, and have been culling any critical comments as fast as they can. Comment count was at 133 last time I checked, with only 13 being visible. Screen shots from FB members prove HGC are hiding/deleting them.
If the HGC trap is a legit piece, HGC should back up with evidence to the accusations instead of trying to surpress what people are clearly already aware of. The tells that Nickatron listed are clearly visible on the HGC pics. And if they are just using a picture of his trap for ad purposes, the least they could have done was credit him as the original sculptor/maker. This whole thing has been very shady of HGC so far...
100% a Nickatron hero MK trap he’s just posted comparison photos on his Facebook page.

Has @Moviefreak commented on this?
A little disappointed there is not more support for Nick here. He is an old time RPF'r who is well known for his GB props and sharing information on such.
Any member whose work is taken like this should get support from the prop collecting community, something that was important in the past to the community but seems to be slipping away now. What a shame.
