	Due to the rising cost of contracting animation services to Japan. Marvel Productions, like many other US production companies, sought the services of cheaper Korean studios. Thus, AKOM's participation increased dramatically by season 3, where they produced a total of 16 episodes, at least two of which ("[[Starscream's Ghost]]" and "[[Only Human]]") had their animation sub-contracted out to another studio (of the remaining 14, 13 were produced by Toei, and [[Surprise Party\|one]] by [[Sei Young Animation Co. Ltd.]]). By 1987, AKOM was utilised as Marvel's primary animator. The short-lived season 4 (the three-part "[[The Rebirth]]" series finale) was then handled entirely by AKOM, as well as all of the season 3 and season 4 [[commercial bumper]]s and the season 3 [[title sequence]]s.
