>>6419922As MP/Turd party figures go through different continuities and designs it's gonna be apparent that some things just don't translate well to 3D.
A lot of people are coming to the realization that trying to capture the perfect g1 imagery has mixed results. A perfect recreation of poor source material will result in a poor product. I, for example, think both of these not Omega Supremes do a pretty good job of capturing the likeness of the character, but plenty of people are like "whoah as it turns out a giant grey and yellow rectangle man looks like shit".
So extrapolate that to the more cuhrazzy and gaudy universe/cybertron/armada designs and you end up with very anime or chunky ass figures looking gaudy as hell even if they're accurate.
