Yes they should as they are produced directly from Hasbro and are transforming toys, they aren't accessories like headmasters and they are not licensed/produced by an external party like McDonalds.
Bot Bots is an ongoing toyline being produced alongside other lines like Siege, Studio Series, etc which all count as Transformers. So to me the answer is quite clear that they are Transformers (albeit simple ones). Being simple in design is not enough for me to ignore them!
