What else could it be but Transformers? Even if it's Marvel it'll still have a Transformers logo on it unless it's like those Flip Attack figures that were obviously modern Jumpstarters.

Or the term flip could be being used in the same way as in Flip-Changers (which I do sort of consider to be essentially the same thing as the more complex One-step changers).
I just hope that Hasbro knocks the whole Power Attacker thing on the head next time or at least makes darn sure that the main product is the one they push - as if I get another toyline that is impossible to get while the shelves are clogged with the 2016/2017 version of Titan PVC's and other under 5's toys I will not be so happy. AOE was a flipping (pardon the pun) disgrace -(in the UK).
If they make something not unlike 3 Step Changers and aim that at the young ones I'm OK with that so long as it does not stop us getting Voyagers.
But some of the stuff they make should be "Flanker Brands" and not clogging up the shelves everywhere in preference to better products - this is already happening with the somewhat average Mix and match parts Action Figure brands infecting Marvel/Star Wars & Transformers product lines.
Failing to provide proper distribution for proper toys will just bug me - especially if we get Titans Returns thrown under the bus in favour of yet another Movie toyline (when said toyline may not even include that many 'proper' toys).
Oh and YES I am being judgemental about under 5's toys - I never used to be as they never used to be quite so crap as they are now.
Playskool Transformer I adore, I was even OK with the earlier Rescue Bots before they got shrunk and lost most of their paint.
But things like Titan PVCs or 3 steps taking up to much shelf space INSTEAD of Voyagers just annoys me. Just as Much as Power Attackers super seeding Deluxes did for Age of Extinction.

It's like someone was looking at AOE Activators / Gravity Bots and Botshots and this is what they came up with. Though there has been similar Rescue Bots toys already - only much bigger. at least they are quite well decorated - unlike the Rescue Dinobots.
Now there is a line that needs upscaling - if they made them the size of the original wave 1 rescue bots and gave them movable arms and actually painted them they'd be a lot of fun.
