To me that sounds like the same Low Brow elitism that flourishes within this fanbase. Transformers The Movie (oddly enough) is a Transformers Movie! Just like Bayformers and Bumblebee. Technically, Bayformers is it's own G1. So get over it.
TBH, I'd support splitting the thread into Bay and G1.
They're different fans looking for different things from their toys. And it would keep bickering over product to a minimum.
That sounds like a nightmare since most waves will have both. So what, we'd have to have a news article to say we found certain toys of the wave in one thread while we found the other toys in the wave in another thread? It will be a mess either way, better to have it all in the actual place dedicated to the line. We didnt split the thread when they released Bumblebee Movie toys and some people still swear that's in a different universe than the Bay films, and yet it all worked out. Just as we wont split the Kingdom thread into the G1 toys and the Beast Wars toys. If you want to discuss toys in a particular line then discuss them in that line's thread, and ignore what you dont want to talk about, simple as that.
