HASBRO

i don't think Hasbro was one of the Sponsers. I think Paramount paid Hasbro of using the name "transformers". I'm sure i didn't see any Hasbro logos in the movie.

All one need do is glance at their toy shelf to realize all the advertising Hasbro got in this movie. True no logo appeared, just a dozen of the characters who's toys they push.

I've read a lot of folks saying this film had too much product placement but really I see more product placement everyday when I drive to work.

The Furby truck that BB and Ironhide hold up has the Hasbro logo on it. Plus both Furby and My Little Pony are Hasbro products.

Hasbro had a role in designing the movie, and I'm sure they had put some amount of cash into the movie. Hasbro did a lot more than allow use of their title.
