Are the third-party robots being sold on site like Aliexpress under the Comic-Club branding straight up copies of transformers toys (absolutely identical knockoffs), or they re-interpretations of transformers character with their own unique designed?

For example, are these just direct copies ripped off at the mold level, or did someone create a toy that shares a similar theme but which were made from scratch without copying the actual Preadacon models?
