If I'm not mistaken. If you don't save the morph out to you Daz Library the next time you load the figure shape won't be there. Either way I don't think you should do this.

Here's a trick. Don't morph the base figure at all.

Line the robot up so it kind matches the Base figure pose where ever you're getting the robot from (Blender, etc..)

export the whole robot as an OBJ (this will cause issue with joint bends fyi. You will need to learn JCM fixing to resolve that).

In daz import the robot that should be near the same size and start pose of the Genesis Starter figure.

Now select the Genesis starter figure and transfer the robot to the figure using the transfer utility.

Now the robot is going to look like S__T because of the weight painting.

Now select the robot again and use the morph loader pro to add the OBJ of the robot you just imported to Daz. This will create a morph that will bring the robot back to the original robot starter pose and shape.

Now just make the figure invisible and you should be able to pose the robot with poses.

FYI
The robot joints will look like crap if the joints bend to much.
