I'm both a TF fan and a SW fan, and I think these things are utter pants.

They're not STUPID, they're trying to make money...As with anything else, they know the despite that fact that hardcore colelctors may not like this nonsense, it's the mom's with little kid's who will look at these and go "Wow! Transformers AND Star Wars all in one toy! My kid loves both of those so I can totally kill two birds with one stone here!" that are their cash crop...
I think the Marvel Crossovers are tolerable and the Star Wars are just plain crap...But just because Hasbro is putting out some toys I don't like (and not completely up to their TF standards), it doesn't mean that they are idiots for it...In fact, if they weren't making retarded sums of money off of the children/mothers dempographic, they probably wouldn't even bother putting out the good **** like Universe and such...

It may be harsh, but then again, the truth often is. And just because something is successful doesn't mean it's a good idea. SWTF might be a good idea, but even a good idea can be run into the ground, as evident by the fact that most of this line is just repaints, indicating a running out of ideas.
