Even when it comes to figures I'll never be able to afford, I still appreciate it when effort is made over no attempted effort at all.

These were conceived before the TR Perceptor toy had been revealed, so it's understandable both why it was proposed and why it was rejected (regardless of the license being lost, too).
Though, basing his Titan Master on Nijika was kinda neat.
It was such a missed opportunity for Hasbro to not just name that figure "Vehicon", as those soldiers were basically, conceptually, pre-Earth Prime Vehicons in all but name, and labeling them as such would have added just one more piece of shared creative DNA between WFC and Prime, which is what...
