Anyone have a link describing the whole history of the "transforming robot toy" concept?
I know there was a Diaclone toyline, but I'm interested in how far back this goes and the designers who pioneered this kind of toy.
In particular, what kind of engineering, design, production, craft goes into this? Who are the big names in Transformer's design? Are they all in Japan, or is it a worldwide thing?
Also, any links describing the whole process of designing and producing -- to a lesser extent distributing and marketing -- something like Transformers would be good.
I know tfwiki has some of this stuff, but I was hoping for links that go a little deeper into the engineering. The artistic design too.
