Last time Takara Tomy tried an expansion into the west they failed. That also wasn't the first time they've tried an expansion here and failed. Hasbro's releases of the Beyblade franchise have been incredibly successful, and Takara Tomy is making money from it being so successful. I doubt they'd want to change a thing.

You're going to have to elaborate here. Do you mean to ask if Hasbro has ever made changes to Transformers releases from Japan to North America? If so, the answer is yes. Hasbro has often dropped weapon accessories, changed parts that were die-cast in Japan to plastic in the west, changed paint (and the amount applied) schemes, plastics, and have dropped figures and even full lines from the west.
So of their changes were done to conform to US safety laws

Evergreen means something that can be continually re-invented to be popular. It's the opposite of a fad - something that gets big really fast but dies out and is never heard from again. In the world of video games the best example of a fad series would be Guitar Hero, with the best example of an evergreen being Mario. Mario's over 25 years old and is incredibly popular still. Guitar Hero was very popular for about 2 years, and dropped off a cliff and hasn't been seen since.
