Of course those guys make stuff for fans, it's their whole point.
This show is to tie in with Hasbro and we know their bit is to sell toys to kids not collectors. We don't half to like it, or support it, but if kids (and/or their parents) buy the associated toyline then Hasbro is justified in doing what they want. They own the franchise, not fans after all.

If by that you mean 2%, you would be correct. A touch over a year ago, if memory serves me, Hasbro reps commented that the adult collector market makes up about 2% of their sales. The other 98% is children and parents of children.
Despite the fact that we make up such a small niche, we are a very dedicated and often vocal fandom. The Classics and Universe toy lines, as well as many other homages in other lines, is Hasbro's way of showing us that they do care about their collector market. Just look at ROTF Bludgeon and Mindwipe. No 5 year old today has any idea who those characters are. But the adult collector market loves them and had been clamoring for a new figure (especially Bludgeon) for quite some time. Generations Straxus (aka Darkmount) is another perfect example of how Hasbro DOES listen to what we ask for, and gives it to us when they can. Of course, they have to take care of their primary market (kids) first, but we are certainly not forgotten.
