'''Shogo Hasui''' (蓮井章悟 ''Hasui Shōgo'') is a designer at [[TakaraTomy]], joining the company in 1999. Since ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', he has called "dibs" to design every [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]] toy,<ref>TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1''</ref> and is thus referred to as "Mr. Starscream" within Takara's ''Transformers'' design team.

Like several Takara designers that have been interviewed, he bemoans [[Hasbro]]'s restrictive [[size class]] plastic weight limits, which can cause headaches during design.

'''Shogo Hasui''' (蓮井章悟 ''Hasui Shōgo'') is a designer at [[TakaraTomy]], joining the company in 1999. Since ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', he has called "dibs" to design every [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]] toy,<ref>TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1''</ref> and is thus referred to as "Mr. Starscream" within Takara's ''Transformers'' design team.

Like several Takara designers that have been interviewed, he bemoans [[Hasbro]]'s restrictive [[size class]] plastic weight limits, which can cause headaches during design.

'''Shogo Hasui''' (蓮井章悟 ''Hasui Shōgo'') is a designer at [[TakaraTomy]], joining the company in 1999. Since ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', he has called "dibs" to design every [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]] toy,<ref>TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1''</ref> and is thus referred to as "Mr. Starscream" within Takara's ''Transformers'' design team.

Like several Takara designers that have been interviewed, he bemoans [[Hasbro]]'s restrictive [[size class]] plastic weight limits, which can cause headaches during design.

==Toys that Shogo Hasui is known to have had a hand in designing==

* [[Skydive (BM)|Skydive]] (his first Transformer design)

==Notes==
*During pre-production of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'', Hasui created a combiner concept model (made from various Japanese robot and superhero toys) and storyboard-style concepts for a movie-styled "Devastator" combiner (involving a MH-53 Pave Low helicopter, such as [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]) for Hasbro to pass onto the movie production staff.<ref name="Generations 3">TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3''</ref>
*Hasui was the original TakaraTomy designer assigned to ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Combiner class [[Devastator (ROTF)|Constructicon Devastator]] (and had completed some preliminary sketches for it), but due to scheduling conflicts, that project was handed over to fellow TakaraTomy designer [[Takio Ejima]].<ref name="Generations 3"/>
*Due to the enormous workload the TakaraTomy designers were under, Hasui was by default the one assigned to present a proof-of-concept prototype for ''Revenge of the Fallen''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Human Alliance]] subset of ''[[Alternators]]''-styled larger vehicles partnered with [[human]] drivers. He rapidly created the proof-of-concept model using a Voyager class [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] toy with a new shoulder (that turned into a seat for the human passenger in either mode), a new left forearm (which turned into a motorcycle) and a new gigantic weapons array. <ref name="Generations 3"/>

'''Shogo Hasui''' (蓮井章悟 ''Hasui Shōgo'') is a designer at [[TakaraTomy]], joining the company in 1999. Since ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', he has called "dibs" to design every [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]] toy,<ref>TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1''</ref> and is thus referred to as "Mr. Starscream" within Takara's ''Transformers'' design team.

Like several Takara designers that have been interviewed, he bemoans [[Hasbro]]'s restrictive [[size class]] plastic weight limits, which can cause headaches during design.

'''Shogo Hasui''' (蓮井章悟 ''Hasui Shōgo'') is a designer at [[TakaraTomy]], joining the company in 1999. Since ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', he has called "dibs" to design every [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]] toy,<ref>TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1''</ref> and is thus referred to as "Mr. Starscream" within Takara's ''Transformers'' design team.

Like several Takara designers that have been interviewed, he bemoans [[Hasbro]]'s restrictive [[size class]] plastic weight limits, which can cause headaches during design.
