Think the robot toy desperately needs them.
Realize HasTak is on a budget and cutbacks need to occur. Thinks it's a shame to create such a fine sculpt only to ruin it. by placing those cheap looking ugly claw like non articulated fingers hands on the robot mode.
Would also like Articulated fingers hands for the upcoming 30th leader scale Jetfire toy.

Personally I've found that articulated fingers add minimal benefit compared to the hassles that they bring. Especially on non-MP figures.

It's fun for a while just to have them flicking a bird. But other than that I generally dont pose hands. My combiners all hold their weapon with their right hand and leave their left open or vice versa.
BTW - Besides being too large for my taste, I didnt buy leader class Grimlock because the Dino mode sucks. It looks like a stiff roadkill. I bought voyager class Grimlock because the Dino mode is way cooler. It looks alive, not stiff as a surfboard.

Good luck getting the rest of the dinobot team to scale with him. "Me Grimlock the leader so me the biggest".

Meh, AOE toys doesn't need articulated fingers, simply because overall they aren't complex enough designs that needs them.
ROFT Leader Prime/Megatron would definitely be better with them though.
