So in other words,
this
Granted, but fans become enraged as to why they're paying exorbitant MP prices for what are basically articulated robotic contortionists rather than robots that can actually
transform. Each Pretender comes with a tiny figurine of the Pretender Shell's "civvie" mode (i.e. shrunken down humans wearing normal clothes), but they're just solid figures like the Raoul and Chip Chase, and not articulated figurines like Spike, Daniel and Marissa Fairborne. The hairstyle of Phoenix's mini-figurine causes a furor between Hasbro's Marvel division who take legal action against TakaraTOMY, and this leads to the dissolution of relations between the two companies. The Transformers franchise is eventually terminated as a result.
