The target market for these Happy Meal Toys are toddlers / kiddies NOT adults. They don't give two hoots about the level of engineering design nor the points of articulation. It's a mute point you are making as the kids I've seen, including my nephew, absolutely enjoy being creative in their own special way they play with, say, Optimus Prime. i.e. soaring through the air & slashing everything and anything with that bad-ass sword. (yes Optimus flys without his jetpack & beats up ALL that stand in his way).
