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
(http://www.allspark.com , halfway down the front page, "In it, you'll find
pictures of the Built To Rule Lego Transformers"), but the thrust of the
question is whether Hasbro went to Lego to work a licensing deal at all
before doing these goofy things on their own.
They are NOT LEGO, but they should be.
