As others have said, by "articulation" people tend to be referring to poseablility of the robot mode. I think they just use the term 'articulation' because it's commonly used by action figure enthusiasts, not just TF collectors. But you're right in saying that Transformers do have a higher number of parts and articulation compared to most other toys and action figures because of the fact that they have to transform. There's also the fact that the toys have parts of two toys in one (i.e.: robot parts and alt mode parts). The lack of poseabilty did bother me as a child during G1 though. I used to look at my G.I. Joes and wish that my Transformers could be as poseable in robot mode. You can imagine my delight when poseability finally came along ... especially in Beast Wars where it became a standard feature.
