im not looking for the best stuff for now, just stuff we can beat up. however, if they are just going to break right away, id rather spend a few dollars more on something that'll last a tad bit longer even though they are going to take a beating. or perhaps i go even cheaper knowing they are going to fall apart within the year.

Wait for a sale. If you wanna bang things around, there are plenty of toys marketed by Hasbro currently aimed at younger kids that can take such a beating, in the long run you won't save money buying knockoffs because they won't last nearly as long.
Hasbro's own toys, as many of us will attest, aren't the sturdiest to begin with. Even handling a KO and trying to transofrm it can cause it to disintegrate. Now I know there are higher quality knock offs out there - but that's the thing with KO's, you aren't guaranteed anything. Even when buying a "higher" quality KO, it's a knock off. You can easily still end up with a bum figure, because QC standards are lower, etc, etc...
3P toys and their KO imitations are also not exactly meant for a child's hands.
