Nice to see a fellow whovian.
Well, Takara is simply considering the TAV line a catch all line to issue a bunch of figures. There's animated redecos, older generations figures and these here.
Though, the bios given to each Adventure toy peg them as characters native to Adventure's continuity. Adventure Lockdown, for instance, isn't the same guy as Animated Lockdown.
Yes, definitely but for fans picking these toys up, I dont think they are stopping from buying these because the bios dictate that these insecticons are different characters an thus cant be on their shelves with their other classics toys.
I feel the bio is more of a way to incorporate these toys within the app/continuity rather than the toys being mae to be part of this app/continuity. Similarly to how they did their Legends line. Sure, there is a legends universe where they all fit together, but that's just a cute side extra for fun rather than be a fully developped universe created inorder to sell these toys. What I am saying here is that in both cases, the toys come before the fiction rather than being a product of it.
