	*The ''Animorphs'' line was poorly received by ''Transformers'' fans due to its unrelated mythology as well as the execution of the action figures.

	*Several Animorphs toys with a human form feature articles of ragged clothing being worn by a character... But what exactly is happening to them is unclear. The clothing being ripped and wrecked seem to imply that the clothes are being destroyed due to the characters morphing, as is described happening in the Animorphs novels. Yet, the toy line advertises more heavily the television series over the books, and in said program the characters' clothes morphed alongside them into their animal forms, and the toys' sculpting and paint details hint that this is what is also happening with these figures. It can be speculated that either their garments are getting first torn to shreds and then subsequently morphing along the character into their animal forms, or that the Animorphs' clothes are in shambles due to being worn in combat.		*Several Animorphs toys with a human form feature articles of ragged clothing being worn by a character...

	*The ''Animorphs'' line was poorly received by ''Transformers'' fans due to its unrelated mythology as well as the execution of the action figures. On the bright side, the ''Animorphs'' toyline paved the way for later crossovers, including the ''[[Star Wars Transformers]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Crossovers\|Crossovers]]'' brands.		*The ''Animorphs'' line was poorly received by ''Transformers'' fans due to its unrelated mythology as well as the execution of the action figures.

	*Several Animorphs toys with a human form feature articles of ragged clothing being worn by a character... But what exactly is happening to them is unclear. The clothing being ripped and wrecked seem to imply that the clothes are being destroyed due to the characters morphing, as is described happening in the Animorphs novels. Yet, the toy line advertises more heavily the television series over the books, and in said program the characters' clothes morphed alongside them into their animal forms, and the toys' sculpting and paint details hint that this is what is also happening with these figures. It can be speculated that either their garments are getting first torn to shreds and then subsequently morphing along the character into their animal forms, or that the Animorphs' clothes are in shambles due to being worn in combat.		*Several Animorphs toys with a human form feature articles of ragged clothing being worn by a character...

	*Had the line continued and the [[Mutant (BW)\|Mutants]] remained Animorphs, ~~a second wave~~ would have followed comprised of a hornet/poison dart frog (Andalite), ram/Komodo dragon (human), and vulture/piranha (human). These never got past the [[control drawing\|control art]] stage.<ref> [[Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Generations]], p113</ref>		*Had the line continued and the [[Mutant (BW)\|Mutants]] remained Animorphs, future waves would have followed comprised of a hornet/poison dart frog (Andalite), ram/Komodo dragon (human), and vulture/piranha (human).
