The word legitimate means "according to the law", so any product not manufactured under licence from HasTak is, by definition, illegitimate. I'm not passing a value judgement when I refer to these toys as illegit... that's just what they are as unlicensed products. I do agree that third party stuff that's less similar looking are more legally ambiguous... Hasbro would probably have better odds suing the makers of Not-Arcee than say City Commander.
