When those came out I was done with Transformers. The 86 movie killed off all my favourite characters and I was old enough to see through Hasbro's cynicism. And when the Pretenders came out, I thought "Hasbro, what is the piece of ****?" So, at that period, if someone had shown me nontransforming figures that operated transforming vehicles, I would have barfed.

Fast forward 30 years and I think those R.E.D.s and Super 7s are super gorgeous!

So maybe that's Answer 2, Hasbro has done their Generations Actions Masters.
