Things change. They gave you the "wrong" team members because a team of 4 cars and a team of 4 jets is pretty monotonous, and most kids/parents would struggle to justify spending however much these cost on a team of essentially 4 variants of the same figure. Adding an SUV and a helicopter adds a little variety and makes it feel less like buying essentially the same toy 4 times.
Comparing Warbot Defender VS Springer and Intimidator VS CW Menasor is a false equivalency. For one thing, you're comparing a fairly basic triple changer (whose 3rd party version was made when the 3P market was still getting its bearings) and a complex Scramble City capable combiner. Furthermore, yes Intimidator looks very impressive and is a good homage to G1 Menasor, but this comes at a price: he's not only ludicrously expensive but also insanely complex. If you gave him to a kid, even a careful one who treated their toys with respect, he'd end up broken. To get a Menasor to look a lot like his G1 counterpart whilst remaining accessible by kids, he'd look horrendously ugly and simplistic. Because let's not kid ourselves here, G1 Menasor was never a particularly good looking combiner, either in the cartoon or in toy form. Intimidator can get away with it because it uses a metric **** of engineering to make it look like G1 Menasor without looking crap. That doesn't work on a mass-release figure like CW Menasor. Superion looks better because his design was a lot better than Menasor to start with, and so needs less engineering to look faithful whilst still looking good and being sturdy.
Funnily enough, Hasbro can't make every figure exactly to your specifications. Transformers isn't all about you, or even the collectors for that matter. It certainly isn't all about people who throw tantrums if a vehicle in a team has changed from its 30 years old counterpart. If you want a perfect Menasor made exactly how you want, then ask Frenzy-Rumble to do you a custom. And whilst you do, spare a thought for those of us who can't even get the new stuff because the store shelves are still filled with AOE One-Step-Changers, Upscaled Cyberverse and knockoffs, and have to pay extortionate shipping fees and import duty just to get one figure. Literally the only good stuff I can find in my area are Dinobot Construct-Bots. We don't even get Generations over here.
Now take that goddamn stick out of your arse and stop acting like a stuck-up child.
Wow!
Wow! again
