Although I also prefer the ones with personal minicons over the drone commanders, I'm not exactly against the drones. I do agree about them not quite seeming like the same line though, since there is a bit of a disconnect between the 2 and 5 packs. I know the subject of them not having proper appendages has been beaten to death, but the lack of proper hands really hits home when I tack some drones onto Smolder, creating a truly imposing Decepticon...that can no longer hold Chopster in axe mode. Sure he can still be body armor, and it makes sense for the commanders to have some abilities unique to uncombined mode, but it still makes the whole concept less interchangeable.
Minor gripe aside, this is one line I'm probably going to end up being a completist with if it really has no life past the debut of DOTM (gave up on a comprehensive Bayniverse collection right out of the gate) My only other disappointment is that the Dinobots will apparently be the only animal based team, leaving no possibility of their drones being mixed, matched, and repainted.
