    That is likely their motivation.
    But that just changes the question from "what where they going for?" to "why though?".

    That's definitely true.

    No disrespect to anyone who genuinely likes these figures, but my opinion of them is

    A series whose toyline had some of the most articulated figures of the time period at that.

    Again, why the fick did Super7 get a license?

    Think they look nice. Look just like the characters on tv.
     Dont care if they dont transform, already have the ones that do.   TF characters dont always need a toy gimmick in my book.

    They don’t look nearly as nice as the renders. Dinobot and Cheetor’s faces especially don’t look too hot.

    I’ve passed on these so far. BUT Megatron May tip the scales. There’s also a cobra commander that’s been tempting. Stay strong, stay strong….

    Come on, man. You’d think that after Super7 sees this stuff on clearance shelves, they’d get the hint, but nooo. Stuff like this pisses me off. The price for these crappily sculpted figures is highway robbery, but it’s okay, since they supposed to be just like the toys you had a kid!! What a joke.

    They go on clearance, but do they sell enough to continue? Looks like it.
    Hasbro Titans usually go on sale but they keep making new titans. Meaning they must make enough money to justify them.
    Super7 also has to pay a licensing fee to Hasbro to use the Transformers name and brand. You don't like it, don't buy it. You know who this stuff is probably for? The guy that doesn't collect Hasbro Transformers. The mint in box collectors that leave these on cardback hanging up in their man cave. It's for anyone but you.

    Neat. A Core Class TM Megatron would be neat for that purpose along.

    The sculpt on these actually aren’t half bad compared to the G1 trash they sell, it I still just find Super 7 shilling 5 POA figures at “collectors item” prices in 2023 incredibly offensive. Doubly so when the whole entire point of BW was how amazingly articulated they were.


    ‘it’s not trans metal but the Takara Robot Masters figure scales pretty well.

    Maybe I\'d pick up Dinobot. I was going to get Blackarachnia but the head sculpt looks bad. Elongated head makes her look like a dude.
