Honestly, this lootcrate BW Meg is not as bad as G1 OP, if this BW Meg's head sculpt is done with his signature "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees" smirk, it might even beo so bonkers it's awesome.

By the looks of it, he's got a very plain expression

Not as bad as Optimus. I can say it almost look good. As if Megs went a bit overboard through a diet.

What you guys need to remember is that this took a whole 5 minutes to design and all the designer had for reference was some DeviantArt search results and 1 of the new comics with the cheap Transformers Animated style.
Having said that, all creative expression is art, be it a song, movie, video game or painting no matter how controversial, simplistic or limited.
Look! He's actually there at that sunset! I don't think I can afford as many of these as I actually need.

This received Licenser Approval on that sculpt. …and given that, I’m curious how it was presented. …It could be that it was shown as a set that as a whole doesn’t look bad. …It’s just when seeing them individually things look way off.

BW Megatron isn't near as bad as Optimus was. It's still bad though.
Loot Crate has really gone downhill.

I don't think the intent of these is to make a screen accurate figure of the character, but rather something more surreal or abstract (or whatever the appropriate art genre term is). I'm not into it, but there are tons of intentionally strangely proportioned statues of things in art, so some people must be into it. I'm not sure why it seems so odd to see it done to a TF character.

I couldn't find a good clip or pic online, but anyone who remembers, that old Tex Avery cartoon where an alligator comes out of the water with a normal sized head and really tiny body and says "I've Been Sick"...that's what this reminds me of

It's a thing in modern art, sure, but I don't see it much in action collectibles aside from super deformed toys that have well defined proportions (ie bigger head). And as to why it seems extra odd on a TF character, it's maybe because geometry is at the core of the Transformers brand, unlike any other toy in the action figure department. Non transforming stuff is already a stretch for some people, so adding in the extra element could push it over the edge.

And your source for that is?
As for the unsold boxes... Nope, not investing in loot crates at all.

That Optimus looks terrible. Megatron is at least passable by comparison but i don't collect statues.
