I wouldn't mind if they could transform. For Hasbro's purposes it would make the toys more appealing to kids (and thus more viable as a product). If they wanted to make them non-transformable, then perhaps just release them as PVC figurines with limited to no poseability. Or maybe as a build figure like Transmutate. Though personally I find them to be absolute craphouse toys -- I'd prefer a proper action figure.
