Hideaki Yoke, General Manager, Boys Overseas Development Office, Boys Marketing Department
Interview from the official Takara Transformers website 2004
My involvement with Transformers goes back to the days of Microman and Diaclone, so it has been nearly twenty years now. Following the success of those products overseas, we decided to develop them in Japan under different titles, and from then on the projects proceeded as joint production projects with our overseas counterparts.
