Doesn't matter, they did it.
And they're pretty good figures (the Deluxes anyway). I think Wheeljack is my favorite of this batch, his bot mode is solid and I love his car mode. Everything snaps together nicely and he's fun to transform. Ratchet would be my favorite, but his bot mode is super loose in the hips, elbows and shoulders. His transformation is absolutely ridiculous, it's far more complex than I could have imagined from pictures. Alt mode is pretty nice with no real gaps or open spaces, he'd be a great figure if it weren't for the floppy limbs. Brawn is the figure I was most looking forward to and he ended up being the biggest disappointment. Bot mode is OK, Transformation is really simple, and alt mode is not great. He has so many gaps in his alt mode that not only can you see straight through him from the side, but there's what can only be described as a hole right through the top of him that they could have easily have filled with his forearms. Looking back at stock photos they were clearly trying to hide all this. If they had just spent a little more time planning him he could have been great, but he feels rushed.
On the plus side I didn't have any parts fall off any of these guys, though only Ratchet really secures his gun in alt mode well using a 5mm peg while Wheeljack uses an odd shaped slot and Brawn only uses a tiny 3mm peg for some reason that barely holds.
