Two reasons:
1. Despite being in the era of the messenger pigeon, for whatever reason Hasbro seemed to have a much better synergy with all of it's licensees at the time. Meaning the animation, comics, merchandise, etc. was all very up to date with the direction of the toy line. Surprisingly, even though they are now in the age of wifi and 4G portable devices, we get Renegades figures a year after the show is cancelled, and wave 1 Retaliation figures that aren't movie accurate because they couldn't get the movie reference in time...go figure.
2. Having them in the show ahead of time familiarized you with the characters, and thus when you saw them on shelves the following year you would already know who they are and want to buy them.
