>>9236095>when hasbruh focused on reviving poorly the brand with action masters or G2,Takara innoved with concepts and ideas like Masterforce or Victory..There's a 3 year gap between action Masters and G2. Japan might've done MF and Victory but guess what They ultimately failed to the point they stopped making entire anime series. By the last series they were coasting off a handful of new micromasters and shared molds with European TF releases.
the entirety of RID01 and Unicron Trilogy were they doing while hasbro released commemoratives toys,
Funny you mention RID because that failed so badly in Japan they ONLY released G1 Reissues in Japan in the year 2001. But you're a zoomer so I doubt you knew that or cared to research. Reissues were Takara's push and never Hasbro's focus.
>Unicron trilogyA collaborative effort largely spearheaded by Hasbro. Here's Aaron Archer's design art for Armada Megatron, for example.
