You feel they count while I don't especially given the franchise it's that simple. Constantly saying "technically they aren't the same version" doesn't change personally how me or others feel. It's essentially a giant robots invade and want to take over which can and have done similar "destroy rebels and take everything for themselves plots". When considering characters I feel the norm of a franchise or type of story needs to be taken into account.
