At least the Rescue Bots got the better end of the stick.

You're joking right? You sound serious, but I can't picture anyone saying that with a straight face. If Hasbro wanted to kill off Generations they would have done it with the movie considering all of the other stuff they've made for it.
Anyway, this looks like the international packaging for Grimlock and Prime, neither of the character descriptions after their names are in English. The ages 4+ thing is kinda funny on these considering they look as safe as any baby toy.

But again, I know these are an odd case. (Like the pop-up figures, etc.) You can't judge them against the actual main toy line - but they are so extreme they make you do a double take.

Of course they are not a direct replacement. Indirectly though, yes, because the space that these abominations will occupy could have been used for something much cooler. Like a plastic brick.....

Id expect that from a cheap 3rd party company that makes those premade easter baskets or something thats bundled with bublebath or something not one of the biggest toy companies in the world for mass retail. Do we really need anymore proof that hasbro has no clue anymore & this franchise is doomed? The franchise has already lost a bunch of diehard collectors, and from the looks of it the kids are next cause no one is going to want those things. All we can hope is the stores are smart enough to keep those away from the main line figures cause if they dont you can just say goodbye to generations, no way are the stores going to order them when they have a ton of shelf warmers. Just look at recent waves & tell me its not true

Just like with the previous movies, stores are going to allocate a lot of shelf space to Transformers this year, I'm not too worried about them taking up space. This is hardly the first movie where Hasbro pumped out a bunch of simple, little kid friendly figures along side the regular line. The Rescue Bot stuff wont even be in the same aisle.
This also isn't the only line that they make these for, they make similar figures for Marvel, too. They must be selling well if they keep making more and more for both lines.
