Disney-buying-Hasbro rumor debunked

Reading through the Transformers fan site tfw2005.com, I saw the rumored negotiation of Disney to buy Hasbro is false. Following the link trail to seibertron.com  reveals that Hasbro's stock went up 6.8 percent because of the rumored buy attempt by Disney. (Providence Journal) But despite this, there is no truth to the rumor that Disney is planning to buy Hasbro.

As with the purchase of Lucasfilm, I'm on the fence whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing if Disney did buy Hasbro. Reflecting on it further, it would lead to a lot of complications as Hasbro is said to own licenses to Disney's competition. Which those are, I do not know.

Moot point now.
