GetComponentsInChildren bugged?

When i use " GetComponentsInChildren < Transform > ();" it also adds parent's transform to that array, is this a bug or intended behaviour? Also how can i only get and set transform in children and not parent?

 

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.GetComponentsInChildren.html

Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children

Intended.
You could try converting it to a list, and removing the one you don't want

Code (CSharp):

1. T[] array = GetComponentInChildren<T>();
2. List<T> list = new List<T>(array);
3. list.remove(GetComponent<T>());
4. //optionally:
5. array = list.ToArray();

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Transform[] children = GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>().Where(t => t != transform).ToArray();
3.
