Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Dunno, but I had an 80s compilation that featured Red Alert's Universe pic on the cover...

Do you reckon permission is ever gained for these things?

I've seen several different club nights use Oppy's image. Does he know?

I'm sure that Bumblebee has told him about it.

Yeah, that's right...I've seen club CDs and posters with the toy artwork of G1 Prime and PMOP on them before. Never heard anything off them, it looked like dodgy Eurodance thumpy-thumpy stuff.

The DJ from Slipknot calls himself DJ Starscream when he's doing solo stuff. Do you have to get permission to do that? I'm assuming all the TFs names and images are Copyright and Trade-Mark.

Hasbro probably don't have enough lawyers on the case!

I suppose calling yourself 'DJ Starscream' has the same legal copyright get-out ability as 'Autobot Hound' and 'Autobot Jazz'.
