There was one detail about Synthoids that was disturbing, they fell apart after too much activity, like Quick Clones from the MIB cartoon(thus why I refer to them as Synthoids not Clones). They could last a few hours or a few days, but too much strenuous activity and they become a puddle of goo. The first episode of GI Joe to use them extensively actually had a cut because one instance melting was too disturbing, a little girl with a rifle melting into goo.
I believe the justification for the synthoids in the transformers episode was that the machine used wasn't a mind transfer machine, but that mind transfer was an effect of using the synthoid making machine to create a copy. "Snake" only had the machine, he didn't have the technical knowledge to take it apart so the villains could use JUST the part that transferred minds. One question remains, why where their 3 sets of overalls with the same color pattern as the 3 transformers hanging next to the machine?
