I mean they generally just look bad and developing these toy lines (which don't appear to sell well judging by local store shelves) just takes away from real Transformers. They also don't fit into the "mythos" of either their licensed characters or Transformers.
It takes away from real transformers?
Yea..
With the largely divided opinion I've seen of transformers lately, I dont know what a real transformer is anymore. I dont care.
I like what I like, not what other people say is or isn't something.
I like the disney cross overs, actually, I dont care for buzz, he's a pass. I dont care if it fits into the mythos. It certainly fits for donald and mickey, they can do anything, they're cartoons.
Really though, there's no way these are taking from mainline toys. Hating on these for that reason makes no sense. Hate on them because you think they're ugly or what have you, sure, fine.
There is no reason to assume, cause you're making an assumption, that the disney toys or star wars toys being made somehow prevents us from getting other transformers.
If you want to believe transforming buzz, spider-man or anakin skywalker is keeping us from getting a new insecticon toy or something, go ahead, but it makes no sense. These are clearly an added line that does not disrupt the main line.
More things that are transformers only helps transformers.
