One in particular that will strike the readers. Original G1 Fortmax was almost a pipe dream. Too bad that I can no longer link to another source I read but it was "O.K."'s boss in Takara who encouraged him to proceed with Fortmax.
It was a verrrrryyyyyyyy risky project back then to create the world's biggest robot toy at that time. Risky as in how the recent Fortmax has a lot of re-used parts (20% by my estimates).

Thanks for that, fenrir. A nice little slice of history.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Super cool to read, Fen! Thanks for posting it.
This also confirms my suspicion that Head Masters was a Takara originated concept. A question and hunch that has been on my mind for a while.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Thanks y'all. Glad to share a bit of trivia.
And the inspiration was an old Super Robot anime by Go Nagai....Kotetsu Jeeg/Jeeg the Steel Robot in some english dubs.
