Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

I am sure i read somewhere that hasbro does not consider the aligned continuity part of the multiverse?
I will ask google to see where i read that.

Also doesn't the multiverse take into consideration of singularities?

I think the original point of the "multiverse" when it was developed by Simon Furman, was just the most plausible way of linking to ANY universe of Transformers that was needed to justify the use of conflicting toy characters or plot concepts in a particular story... EVEN if some entity like an unnamed/uncredited Hasbro employee says that a particular story universe is NOT part of the multiverse at that particular time.
(meaning, if someone says their story doesn't apply from the perspective of their new story universe, it can still work from the perspective of whoever is writing about the multiverse... in case those other authorised/licensed writers ever need to tap into that story, its concepts or its characters later - so that from one story universe (the multiverse) you can see and access the other, but not from the other direction... like a one-way mirror)


As for the stickers - I think asking Hasbro HK would be the only way to find out for sure if they are legit. There are just too many "reliable" sources that are saying yes AND no, to know for sure... and we've seen how good knockoffs can be with their packaging, so what's stopping a non-toy item from having counterfeit fineprint on their packaging.
