I see beast forms are less of a gimmick. They're essentially the same as any Transformer being a robot that can assume an alternate form. It's just their alternate form is an animal instead of a vehicle. You might as well call the Dinobots and the Insecticons gimmicks if the new Predacons are.
Combiners and triple changers are more gimmicks because how they work is different from other Transformers.
It's kind of like how I don't view unicorn and pegasus ponies as gimmicks in the MLP brand, but sea ponies and flutter ponies are.

Correct. Combiners are simply too messy for CGI.
