Hello all,

Well I was just doing a quick read of online news.  I had not been to
www.allspark.com, a Transformers fan site, recently so I brought up the
page.  After scrolling down I stumbled across this header: Wave 5 Product
Catalog Scans - May 22 2003, 10:48 AM containing the text:
"In it, you'll find pictures of the Built To Rule Lego Transformers,"

Okay...Wait a sec...WHAT?!?
Well, it seems these are official:

Nowhere in Hasbro's product line do they say that these are LEGO products.
The web site refered to here is NOT anything more than a fan created site

has been working on a construction toy line and they linked it to their very
popular Transformers line.  This line is already in the Toys R Us main
computers starting at very competitive prices.
They are NOT LEGO.

(...) It's not a question of whether they're actual Lego products, as we know they're not. Andrew's question was 'why didn't Lego do these?' I'll admit, some people are probably confused by shoddy headlines ((URL) , halfway down the front page, "In (...) (21 years ago, 27-May-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
