For me personal I think it was the site of prowl riding a motorcycle that pretty much told me that this was going to be a crappy line of toys. Heck they don't even transform either the only thing that did transform in most cases was the vehicle or whatever else that came with them. So what do think made the action master a waste of shelf space.

Obviously lack of transformation. And the added articulation wasn't extensive enough to make up for that.

Personally I liked them. AM Prime was closer in scale to Motormaster than the original. The Actionmasters looked nice when posed with the likes of Gestalts and Firecons. Prime and Megatron had great vehicles.

Also there were some cool new characters among them like Kick-off, Treadshot and Axer.

Would love to see Energon Divebomb repainted as Banzai-tron and Cruellock as Tyrannitron. Even remold Clssaics Megatron head and give us Treadshot. Or RM Road Rocket as Rad.
