So in other words, it'd be akin to Hasbro buying up sole rights for all transforming robot toys, not just Transformers, thus lashing out at competitors like Roadbots and whatever the current Anglophone version of Machine Robo is (I see them in stores but I can't remember what it's called) etc.

I've always said that Hasbro = toy Microsoft. :/
