Trivia

• Tatsumi was personally responsible for the throne included with Studio Series '86 Coronation Starscream and pushed for the open hands to allow for better cape posing.
• Beast Wars Inferno was Tatsumi's favorite childhood toy, rendering working on the Generations update a surreal experience. His brain was further melted when his work earned a thumbs up from Takio Ejima, Inferno's original designer.<ref name = "King303"/>
