Like how '87 introduced not just the Head and Targetmasters but a bunch of other, less remembered subgroups, like the duocons and especially the clones. What was even the point of the clones? Sixshot might be one of my favourite Transformers of all time.
And then Hasbro decided to start doing it with the Pretenders two years later by having the shells transform too.
