G1 Fact Verification

[kup]

Sounds like speculative and unfounded nonsense to me.

Considering the Diaclone/Microchange lines had no Hasbro markings on the box or toys, and even the first Transformers only had Takara copyrights on the figures, not to mention most molds that became G1 Transformers weren't even designed until '78-ish, make this hard to believe. Particularly with no evidence.
