The people in charge of the cartoon didn't want to make it completely worthless as an ad, so they tried to integrate the characters into the story and flesh things out. That is why you have characters in the cartoons trying to justify the gimmicks in storylines (and also why you don't see them appear as often as more versatile characters like He-Man or Teela). I am not a fan of Man-E-Faces, but I see the appeal of changing faces. He could be used for espionage or something, like trying to trick a group of robots he is a robot too (instead of an android). Or a monster in a body suit for some group of monsters. Anything like that. His gimmick isn't that interesting to me, but I think the toy creators just went 'hey lets try making a toy that can change faces' and then made Man-E-Faces.
