I was going to say the same thing.
It was a weird line in many respects, but that was at least partly because it had to pave the way for what came next. I have a soft spot for it.
The weaponisers were mostly quite fun, I enjoyed augmenting other toys with them, and Brunt was a welcome addition for Trypticon.
The battle damage looked awful on some of them but great on others.
The Ironhide mould I thought was nice, and much superior to the Earth-mode version which followed. Possibly worn best by Crosshairs.
Omega Supreme was excellent, and I loved finally getting that version of Jetfire after all these years, even if the toy has its flaws.
Spinister was pretty great, Flywheels too, we got a proper Impactor at last (though would have to wait a few years for the right colours) and some nice exclusive homages to the Powerdashers. There were some pretty decent exclusives overall - Galactic Man Shockwave springs to mind, as does Tigertrack.
Speaking of which we got the now ubiquitous Sideswipe mould, which I haven't got tired of because it really is excellent in my view - quick and intuitive transformation and a very satisfying robot mode.
I can nitpick the line a bit, but overall I see it in a positive light. Power of the Primes before it was also a weird hotchpotch with not much of an identity. Both, of course, pale to insignificance before Titans Return...
