Have companies just given up on Copyright these days? Ha ha
Well, there is a wealth of lore and fun alternative models here which help in that regard. The Bot War stuff is ace
In this case Hasbro/Takara-Tomy don’t really have a case. Vehicles that turn into robots have been done in a lot of ways by a lot of people. Macross/Robotech had jets that turned into mechs, Gobots (although Hasbro now owns the rights) were around at the same time as the original Transformers toy line, and I seem to recall one or two Gundams that transformed into jets also. There are also a lot of companies making third party “totally not TFs, nothing to see here!” toys, which are able to skirt the borders of what is considered legally distinct. Even as “shameless” as the artwork above might be, they’re far from the worst offenders when it comes to aping the name brand transforming robots.
It was mainly the artwork I was expressing concerns about – it even seems to mimic the artist who drew Transformers when Marvel produced a comic based upon them back in the 80’s.
I know when I was looking to produce a series of t-shirts some manufacturers I spoke to said how in some countries if a design is changed as little as 1% that meant it wasn’t in breach of copyright.
Great looking trans-mech’s bots can you use toybots to up your force’s fighting?
I mean, you could, but there is an extensive range of cool models from Traders Galaxy which are way better
Nice to know Ben thanks.
Rules are printing now 😀
