I'm not sure if I'd go that far.
It was a different design aesthetic. There are positive aspects, including better articulation and less brickiness. I have a few Super Go-Bots and there's a lot to like. For me, the biggest negative was the approach to heads.
Rather than give some of them heads, a chunk of vehicle with a windshield would suffice. In terms of real-life, this is not really a bad idea. Robots do not necessarily need bifocal vision, noses, mouths, etc. Even Transformers were never depicted as having less sensory information in their vehicle modes, so there's nothing that dictates the necessity of a humanoid head. Intellectually, I am completely on board with that.
In terms of toys and characters, though, it kind of sucks. Not my cup of tea.
