If I was Paramount, I'd totally agree.
If I was Hasbro however, and Paramount was offering to shoot a movie based on my intellectual property, I'd make sure that my intellectual property comes out well in that deal, instead of being left with practically empty hands.

Still I think we can all agree that Hasbro's marketing section isn't really 'on the ball' any more. I'd say that, ever since 'Star Wars' came out in 1977, EVERYBODY knows that (toy-based) merchandising can be a HUGE additional benefit to a movie. Back in the day, 'Transformers: The Movie' was specifically intended to introduce a whole new series of TF toys. And both 'The Transformers' and 'TF: DotM' did their toy-marketing a whole lot smarter.

I'm so meta, even this acronym...
