They forgot that the

and

take the place of an "A" in the title, and mispronounce it as "Construct-Bots" instead of "Construct-A-Bots".

What's your source on that? The word seems to be parsed as "Construct-Bots" every time it is written in plain text on Hasbro's official communiqués.

Hasbro's various convention panels regarding the toyline. The guys behind the booths consistently pronounced it "Construct-A-Bots" despite it's official spelling being "Construct-Bots.

From TFWiki's Toy Fair 2013 report:

When asked about the pronunciation of "Construct-Bots" (the presenters spoke the line name aloud as "construct-a-bots"), they indicated that the Autobot and Decepticon symbols on the packaging act as an "a" sound.

Somehow, I don't think th

is going to c

ve settled on Construct-Bots

s the offici

nd title of the line.

At this year's BotCon, anytime someone, be it a fan or an employee, mentioned the line, they only ever called it "Constructabots" or "Constructibots" or even "Constructobots".

It's like the Seacon syndrome all over again. :o)

I like the humour in the Construct-Bots(I spell it this way despite pronouncing it with an "a" in between) commercials. I like BB as a triple changer. I've seen some people fanmode the Construct-Bots BB into an alt mode that resembles the Cybertronian mode seen in episode 1.

See, this right here is exactly why there is appeal to this line. It lets you build and customize your own TF toy to suit your own personal preferences ans specifications, rather than being forced to adhere to official pre-set designs if one doesn't like those.

The problem with customizing the figures is you run the risk of them not being able to transform. It even says so on the instructions.
