When did Hasbro buy the Transformers toy line

by bm20 » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:57 am

I was wondering if anybody can tell me when Hasbro bought Transformers from Takara and became the sole owner of the Transformers franchise. Also I know that the two companies still have a partnership. Can anybody tell me what that is.
