Sounds like the courts took one look at the issue, rolled its eyes, and told both companies to simmer down, stop acting like children, and go about their business forgetting the issue ever happened.

How much of this fight carries over to the original Takara line and how far back it goes, I don't know and could honestly care less.

Actually Jetfire from memory, is a discarded Strike Valkyrie prototype which Hasbro/Takara were allowed to use because there was a problem with the design's nosecone (can't remember if it was too long or too short).
