See: Beast Wars Batman Beyond (yes, that started as a toy line), Transformers Animated, Exo-Squad, War Planets, and so on. >The creators assumed that kids were stupid and that they'll buy anything they see on TV. No, that's what the networks assume. It's up to the people who made them to make them all they can be. You really think that Disney wanted Gargoyles how they got it?
