    Default Should the Trasformer line be classed as bootlegs?

    Having recently bought a Trasformer MC-18 and researching it to make sure it was legit, it got me thinking. When it comes to the "Transformers" toy releases, do you count this line as the first bootlegs ever of TFs.

    On one hand they had the licence from Takara to release Diaclone and Microchange toys so in terms of releasing the toys, they were legally entitled to release the toys.

    On the other hand as they didn't have the Transformers license at the time; technically the toys they released in TF colour-schemes were unauthorised.

    So where do these guys lie: official with Hasbro playing politics, bootlegs in spite of legally being entitled to release Diaclone and Microchange toys, or somewhere in between?
