>scaleWhat? You can make a transforming figure as big or small as you want.
>paintThat's restricted by budget/price, not whether it transforms or not. Tell the designers to design a transforming robot that they'll sell for $500 a piece, it's gonna have paint.
>articulationThere are plenty of transforming figures out there with all the articulation you can find on non-transforming figures. Not to mention the ability to transform is also "articulation"
>source material accuracyThe cartoonists, for the most part, never even took into consideration how the robots would transform. And in some cases the robots don't even look like they can conceivably turn into a vehicle like AOE Prime. It's always been the toy designers that make a transformer a real "transformer". I hope you can understand how I don't give a fuck about whether my toy looks like the non-transforming cartoon on the TV screen.
