Just because some people call Avatar, GIJoe and Transformers anime doesn't make it true.
Anime requires a Japanese production in its entirety. Writing staff, supervising staff, character designers, being made for marketing in Japan, etc.
GIJoe and Transformers were only ANIMATED by Toei (and ONLY animated! Things like character designs were still done in America) and Avatar was in its entirety an American production.
They are not anime in any sense of the word, they are just cartoons.
