Technically it's a Hasbro release, but "imported" by Takara as a USA Edition and thus not part of the Galaxy Force line proper.

Unicron Trilogy toya all say Hasbro and Takara because the toys in the series were co-created by both companies. Nowadays Hasbro does most of the design work, while TakaraTomy, as the main franchise holder handles production and licensing to Hasbro.
