Hasbro simply licensed the toy from Bandai, if I remember correctly. The
Bandi logo is visible in several places on the plastic. This was vaguely
scandelous at the time, since Bandi was the primary manufacturer for the
Go-Bots, the main competitor to Transformers in the U.S. Most of the other
Transformer toys were licensed from another manufacturer, I forget which.

Mospeada / Robotech Southern Cross. If anyone can come up with one of these
for a minifig or Technic maxifig, I want to know! :-,
