MP's price range more than ofsets the design limitation but in UM case, the cost consideration was one of the reasons why we don't have a white naked Convoy as the core robot.

That face is not showing tough, angry, or mad as on the cover art, it shows frightening or panicking like when he got dragged in to the dead universe. Which might be fine but it just totally doesn't fit the general toughness of his body design.
For art designs (especially the movie ones), I still don't understand why Hasbro let the art/CGI designers drew whatever they like and then the toy designers had to scratch their heads on how to make toys base on that. Sometimes praise them that they really made that happen. But some of the designs are just impossible. Transformium for example, they are basically doing what Kre-O/Lego bricks do. For action figures that transform, we got that Galvatron (which is not that bad if you ignore the backpack).
Also, like Gauntlet101010 said, not all 3rd party products are good.
