Yeah but, nowadays they're made as sideline figures, or pieces of merchandising. You look at Robot Replicas or Revoltech... they don't transform, but they don't dominate the main Transformers line like Action Masters did. In 1990-91, if you didn't collect Action Masters that took a serious chunk out of your collecting during those years. I don't collect Robot Replicas or Revoltech, but that hasn't exactly slowed down my collecting in recent years.

Imagine if Hasbro ONLY produced Robot Replicas and Cyberverse... and nothing else. That's pretty much what it was like. <shudder> Had the Action Masters just been some minor sub group (like the Firecons) or a sideline piece of merchandising... it wouldn't have been so bad. The crappy thing about Action Masters was just they really took over a massive chunk of the Transformers franchise!
