So this just came through to my email... Maybe we won't be seeing these?
This is a message from Kickstarter’s Integrity team. We're writing to inform you that a project you backed, Cobra Sentinel Automaton, is the subject of an intellectual property dispute. The project has been removed from public view until the dispute is resolved, which can take up to 30 days. The project’s funding and the countdown to its deadline have been stopped. If the project becomes available again, the countdown will continue and the new deadline will extend past the original deadline for as much time as the project was unavailable. You can find out more by reading our Copyright Policy and our Trademark Policy. Original deadline Fri, May 12 2017 8:40 am EDT Time remaining if project becomes available 64 hours Your pledge is currently still active. If you’d like to manage your pledge or reach out to the creator directly, you can still do so through the project page.

It's definitely raised my eyebrows sometimes how people think they can get away with selling customs based on licensed properties that they don't have the rights to.

The Sentinel I thought was ok, but the custom Major Bludds looked like a step too far.

The Hasbro lawyers' statement even uses an article on JoeBattleLines as evidence in its claim. Using the word "Cobra" seems to have teed them off more than anything. If the name had not been used, it's a harder case to prove just a visual resemblance. Using a trademarked name though is asking for big trouble.
