Back in th 80's when Transformers was fast
gaining popularity and Hasbro was running out of Takara molds to use,
they obtained licences to use the molds of other companies' robot toys.
From the anime Special Armored Battalion Dorvack (特装機兵ドルバック) two of their mechas were used for G1 Deluxe Autobots - VH-64 MR Oberon Gazzette for G1 Whirl, and VV-54 AR Mugen Calibur for G1 Roadbuster.
