On the other hand, it's a big universe out there. The Autobots can have allies from other planets who aren't themselves Autobots or even Cybertronian. ;)

Considering Brave started out by repurposing Transformers designs, what's the harm in repurposing Brave toys as Autobots or Decepticons?
I mean it might just be a neurodivergent thing but I just prefer to keep things as what they are meant to be (although I have no issues displaying all my various figures together in crossover situations because it looks cool [it's partially why I used that Macross toy in the pic I posted a couple pages back] nor do I have issues repurposing or coming up with headcanons within the franchise itself, if that makes sense).

I happen to love repurposing other figures and transformable robots as Transformers. For me, it's not a "need" per se, just a want. Like, I have this thing on preorder:

I'm well aware of the fact that it isn't a Transformer. But if you think for a second that I am not going to find some spot on it to add an Autobot logo, then I don't know what to tell you. 'Cause I'm gonna.
It's Stampy!

And that's totally ok, too! :) The great thing about having a collection is doing things with it that make you happy. Mix 'n match? Cool! Keeping things within their own brands? Go for it!

I mean, we all have our collecting quirks. Mine is that I have a hard time getting over folks that keep things MISB, but, if it makes the owner happy, then I can respect it.

That's my take on it and why I love that United is doing Star Seekers and Infernacs/Armorizers.

I used to love the Brave stuff from afar and would tell myself if I ever got any of them they'd get 'Bot or 'Con stickers as needed but once I did snatch a few I decided I liked them as their own thing.
Same with GoBot/Machine Robo homages and remakes.

I won't begrudge anyone who wants to slap Autobot and Decepticon stickers on non-TFs as desired though. It's a hobby. Engage with it on your own terms and no one else's.
