It is possible that they have an agreement to keep each other in the loop. After all, if one company releases a character and then a few months later another company announces another, it's likley the latter company's sales may suffer. Because most people would have said character, and unless the new one is far superior, most people wouldn't likely bother. So by keeping other companies in the loop, customers will have a choice before they commit to one and therefore even out eachs profits. Honour among thieves so to speak.

Of course that's all just speculation lol

A "sad" truth is, more and more they are designed to be like G1, more identical they look, even the way to transform would not differ much.
